We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

Function

G3P_MYCTU Catalyzes the oxidative phosphorylation of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P) to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) using the cofactor NAD. The first reaction step involves the formation of a hemiacetal intermediate between G3P and a cysteine residue, and this hemiacetal intermediate is then oxidized to a thioester, with concomitant reduction of NAD to NADH. The reduced NADH is then exchanged with the second NAD, and the thioester is attacked by a nucleophilic inorganic phosphate to produce BPG.^[1]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate-dehydrogenase (GAPDH; EC1.2.1.12) has several functions in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and the human host. Apart from its role in glycolysis, it serves both as a cell surface and a secreted receptor for plasmin(ogen) (Plg/Plm), transferrin (Tf), and lactoferrin (Lf). Plg sequestration by Mtb GAPDH facilitates bacterial adhesion and tissue invasion, while an equivalent interaction with host GAPDH regulates immune cell migration. In both, host and microbe, internalization of Tf/Lf-GAPDH complexes serves as a route for iron acquisition. To date, the structure of Mtb GAPDH or the residues involved in these moonlighting interactions have not been identified. This study provides the first known X-ray crystal structure of Mtb GAPDH. Through further mutagenesis and functional assays, we found that the C-terminal lysines of Mtb and human GAPDH affect enzyme activity and ligand binding. We also establish the stoichiometry of Plg, Tf and Lf interactions with the GAPDH tetramer. Lastly, molecular simulation studies reveal the interactions of the C-terminal lysine residues.
