Reaction mechanism of phosphoglucosamine mutase from Escherichia coli.
Jolly L., Ferrari P., Blanot D., Van Heijenoort J., Fassy F., Mengin-Lecreulx D.
The phosphoglucosamine mutase (GlmM) from Escherichia coli, specifically required for the interconversion of glucosamine-6-phosphate and glucosamine-1-phosphate (an essential step in the pathway for cell-wall peptidoglycan and lipopolysaccharide biosyntheses) was purified to homogeneity and its ki ... >> More
The phosphoglucosamine mutase (GlmM) from Escherichia coli, specifically required for the interconversion of glucosamine-6-phosphate and glucosamine-1-phosphate (an essential step in the pathway for cell-wall peptidoglycan and lipopolysaccharide biosyntheses) was purified to homogeneity and its kinetic properties were investigated. The enzyme was active in a phosphorylated form and catalysed its reaction according to a classical ping-pong bi-bi mechanism. The dephosphorylated and phosphorylated forms of GlmM could be separated by HPLC and coupled MS showed that only one phosphate was covalently linked to the active site of the enzyme. The site of phosphorylation was clearly identified as Ser102 in the 445-amino acid polypeptide. GlmM was also capable of catalysing the interconversion of glucose-1-phosphate and glucose-6-phosphate isomers, although at a much lower (1400-fold) rate. Interestingly, the mutational change of the Ser100 to a threonine residue resulted in a 20-fold increase of the nonspecific phosphoglucomutase activity of GlmM, suggesting that the presence of either a serine or a threonine at this position in the consensus sequence of hexosephosphate mutases could be one of the factors that determines the specificity of these enzymes for either sugar-phosphate or amino sugar-phosphate substrates. << Less

Phosphoglucosamine mutase (GlmM) catalyzes the formation of glucosamine-1-phosphate from glucosamine-6-phosphate, an essential step in the pathway for UDP-N-acetylglucosamine biosynthesis in bacteria. This enzyme must be phosphorylated to be active and acts according to a ping-pong mechanism involving glucosamine-1, 6-diphosphate as an intermediate (L. Jolly, P. Ferrari, D. Blanot, J. van Heijenoort, F. Fassy, and D. Mengin-Lecreulx, Eur. J. Biochem. 262:202-210, 1999). However, the process by which the initial phosphorylation of the enzyme is achieved in vivo remains unknown. Here we show that the phosphoglucosamine mutase from Escherichia coli autophosphorylates in vitro in the presence of [(32)P]ATP. The same is observed with phosphoglucosamine mutases from other bacterial species, yeast N-acetylglucosamine-phosphate mutase, and rabbit muscle phosphoglucomutase. Labeling of the E. coli GlmM enzyme with [(32)P]ATP requires the presence of a divalent cation, and the label is subsequently lost when the enzyme is incubated with either of its substrates. Analysis of enzyme phosphorylation by high-pressure liquid chromatography and coupled mass spectrometry confirms that only one phosphate has been covalently linked to the enzyme. Only phosphoserine could be detected after acid hydrolysis of the labeled protein, and site-directed mutagenesis of serine residues located in or near the active site identifies the serine residue at position 102 as the site of autophosphorylation of E. coli GlmM. << Less
