General description

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6P DH) has an active dimeric form, whereas its monomeric and tetrameric forms are inactive. At low NADP+ and NADPH levels and under normal conditions, the enzyme exists as equilibrium of tetramers and dimers, whereas at high NADP+ and NADPH levels the equilibrium shifts to inactive tetramers.

Application

Component of cofactor recycling systems for NADPH.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6P-DH) is involved in the pentose phosphate pathway. It is responsible for catalysing the oxidation of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) to gluconolactone-6-phosphate, with NADP+ simultaneously accepting hydrogen to form NADPH, thereby maintaining NADPH levels in cells.

Specifications

Enzyme kinetic parameters for rate equations are vital in metabolic network simulation, a major part of systems biology research efforts. Measurements of Michaelis-Menten kinetic parameters Km and Kcat have been performed for enzymes glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6P DH) under crowded conditions

The removal of the N-terminal formyl group on nascent proteins by peptide deformylase (PDF) is the most prevalent protein modification in bacteria. PDF is a critical target of antibiotic development; however, its role in bacterial physiology remains a long-standing question.

Carbohydrate metabolism not only functions in supplying cellular energy but also has an important role in maintaining physiological homeostasis and in preventing oxidative damage caused by reactive oxygen species. Previously, we showed that arthropod embryonic cell lines have high tolerance

High-altitude environments require that animals meet the metabolic O2 demands for locomotion and thermogenesis in O2-thin air, but the degree to which convergent metabolic changes have arisen across independent high-altitude lineages or the speed at which such changes arise is
