Beschreibung

Application

Acetate kinase is used to phosphorylate acetate to acetyl phosphate. Acetate Kinase from Bacillus stearothermophilus has been used to study allosteric activation.[1] ^[32P]-acetyl phosphate was generated by incubating potassium acetate in the reaction mixture with acetate kinase from Sigma. This [³²P]-acetyl phosphate was used to label BldM, BldM D-54N or BldM D-54A loci during the study of the effect of bldM gene on Streptomyces coelicolor development.[2]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Acetate kinase plays an important role in glycolysis. Acetate kinase phosphorylates acetate in the presence of ATP and a divalent cation, which ultimately results in the production of acetyl-CoA.[3] Acetate kinase is also involved in the metabolism of propanoate, pyruvate and taurine. Acetate Kinase from Bacillus stearothermophilus is a thermostable tetramer of identical subunits with molecular weight of 40,000 Da each. The enzyme does not have a -SH group and is composed of 36% β-structure, 21 % α-helix and 43 % unordered structure.[4]

Involved in the metabolism of propanoate, pyruvate and taurine.

Physical form

Contains Tris-HCl buffer.

Other Notes

One unit will phosphorylate 1.0 μmole of acetate to acetyl phosphate per min at pH 7.2 at 30 °C.
