* ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase signatures *
********************************************
ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (glucose-1-phosphate adenylyltransferase) [1,2]
(EC 2.7.7.27) catalyzes a very important step in the biosynthesis of
alpha 1,4-glucans (glycogen or starch) in bacteria and plants: synthesis of
the activated glucosyl donor, ADP-glucose, from glucose-1-phosphate and ATP.
ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase is a tetrameric allosterically regulated enzyme.
It is a homotetramer in bacteria while in plant chloroplasts and amyloplasts,
it is a heterotetramer of two different, yet evolutionary related, subunits.
There are a number of conserved regions in the sequence of bacterial and
plant ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase subunits. We selected three of these
regions as signature patterns. The first two are N-terminal and have been
proposed to be part of the allosteric and/or substrate-binding sites in the
Escherichia coli enzyme (gene glgC). The third pattern corresponds to a
conserved region in the central part of the enzymes.
-Consensus pattern: [AG]-G-G-x-G-[ST]-x-L-x(2)-L-[TA]-x(3)-A-x-P-A-V
-Sequences known to belong to this class detected by the pattern: ALL.
-Other sequence(s) detected in SWISS-PROT: NONE.
-Consensus pattern: W-[FY]-x-G-T-A-[DN]-[AS]-[LIVMFYW]
-Sequences known to belong to this class detected by the pattern: ALL.
-Other sequence(s) detected in SWISS-PROT: NONE.
-Consensus pattern: A-S-M-G-[LIVM]-Y-[IV]-[LIVMFY]-x(2)-[DENPH]
-Sequences known to belong to this class detected by the pattern: ALL.
