Glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase (GlmS) is responsible for the first and rate-limiting step in the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway. It catalyzes the conversion of D-fructose-6P (F6P) into D-glucosamine-6P (GlcN6P) using L-glutamine (Gln) as nitrogen donor (synthase activity) according to an ordered bi-bi process

A novel post-translational modification of threonine, β-N-acetylglucosaminyl-phosphate, was recently discovered on assembly protein AP180, a protein which plays a crucial role in clathrin coated vesicle formation in synaptic vesicle endocytosis (SVE). Herein, we report studies aimed at probing the effect

We have synthesized a light-activatable ("caged") derivative of glucosamine-6-phosphate (GlcN6P), which only upon irradiation becomes a cofactor for the glmS riboswitch. This glmS riboswitch maintains its activity when embedded in the 3'-untranslated region of eukaryotic mRNA molecules and caged GlcN6P

The main aim of our study was to determine the physiological function of NagA enzyme in the Listeria monocytogenes cell. The primary structure of the murein of L. monocytogenes is very similar to that of Escherichia coli, the main differences

The bacterial glmS ribozyme is mechanistically unique among both riboswitches and RNA catalysts. Its self-cleavage activity is the basis of riboswitch regulation of glucosamine-6-phosphate (GlcN6P) production, and catalysis requires GlcN6P as a coenzyme. Previous work has shown that the coenzyme
