General annotation (Comments)

Function

Key enzyme in the regulation of glycerol uptake and metabolism. HAMAP MF_00186

Catalytic activity

ATP + glycerol = ADP + sn-glycerol 3-phosphate. HAMAP MF_00186

Cofactor

Binds 1 zinc ion per glycerol kinase EIIA-Glc dimer. The zinc ion is important for dimerization.

Enzyme regulation

Activity of this regulatory enzyme is affected by several metabolites. The inhibition by fructose 1,6-biphosphate causes alterations in the quaternary structure of the enzyme. Phosphotransferase system phosphocarrier protein (IIIGlc or IIAGlc) inhibits activity of wild-type enzyme but activates the mutant enzyme. HAMAP MF_00186

Pathway

Polyol metabolism; glycerol degradation via glycerol kinase pathway; sn-glycerol 3-phosphate from glycerol: step 1/1. HAMAP MF_00186

Subunit structure

Homotetramer and homodimer (in equilibrium). Heterodimer with EIIA-Glc (crr).

Induction

By L-alpha-glycerol 3-phosphate. HAMAP MF_00186

Miscellaneous

This enzyme is inactivated by modification with sulfhydryl reagents or the adenine nucleotide affinity label, 5'-P-(fluorosulfonyl)-benzoyl adenosine. HAMAP MF_00186

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the FGGY kinase family.
