Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 2.688Å Ligands: CL, MG Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function GLCNK_STRJI Catalyzes the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of D-glucosamine (GlcN) to D-glucosamine 6-phosphate. May be involved in the phosphorylation of acquired extracellular GlcN derived from the hydrolysis of chitosan, i.e., in the incorporation of exogenous GlcN into the bacterial GlcNAc metabolism. To a lesser extent, is also active on glucose, but is unable to phosphorylate maltose, 18 other sugars and several aminoglycoside antibiotics.
