Additional information

The protein

Basic information/ Evolution

  • Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, (NADH-dependent)
  • Protein family:
  • Paralogous protein(s): GapB

Extended information on the protein

  • Kinetic information:
  • Domains:
  • Modification: Phosphorylation (STY)
  • Effectors of protein activity:
  • Interactions:
    • GapA-PtsH: HPr(Ser-46-P) binds GapA resulting in a slight inhibition of enzymatic activity.
    • GapA-Crh: Crh(Ser-46-P) binds GapA resulting in a slight inhibition of enzymatic activity.
  • Localization: membrane and cytoplasm

Database entries

  • Structure:
    • 3CMC (from Geobacillus stearothermophilus)
    • 1NQO (from Geobacillus stearothermophilus, mutant with cys 149 replaced by ser, complex with NAD+ und D-Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate)

Additional information

Expression and regulation

The primary mRNAs of the operon are highly unstable. The primary mRNA is subject to processing at the very end of the ''cggR'' open reading frame. This results in stable mature gapA and gapA-pgk-tpiA-pgm-eno mRNAs.

  • Sigma factor: SigA
  • Regulation: CggR represses the operon in the absence of glycolytic sugars
  • Regulatory mechanism: repression
  • Additional information: GapA is one of the most abundant proteins in the cell. In the presence of glucose, there are about 25,000 GapA molecules per cell.
