IIIGlc is a signal-transducing phosphocarrier protein of the phosphoenolpyruvate:glycose phosphotransferase system of Escherichia coli. The secondary structure of IIIGlc is determined by heteronuclear (15N, 13C) three-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. Sequential, medium-range, and long-range nuclear Overhauser effects seen in NMR spectra are used to elucidate 11 antiparallel beta-strands and four helical segments. The medium-range nuclear Overhauser effect patterns suggest that the helices are either distorted alpha-helices or are of the 3(10) class. The amino acids separating the active-site histidine residues (His75 and His90) form two strands (Ala76-Ser81 and Val85-Phe91) of a six-stranded antiparallel beta-sheet that brings His90 and His75 in close proximity. Sequence similarities in IIIGlc and several other sugar-transport proteins suggest that the histidine residues within these proteins may be arranged in a similar manner. The 18-residue N-terminal peptide that precedes beta-strand Thr19-Ile22 in native IIIGlc is disordered and does not interact with the rest of the protein. Furthermore, removal of the N-terminal heptapeptide by a specific endopeptidase does not affect the structure of the remaining protein, thus explaining the phospho-acceptor activity of modified IIIGlc with the phospho-histidine-containing phosphocarrier protein of this system.

D010731 Phosphoenolpyruvate Sugar Phosphotransferase System The bacterial sugar phosphotransferase system (PTS) that catalyzes the transfer of the phosphoryl group from phosphoenolpyruvate to its sugar substrates (the PTS sugars) concomitant with the translocation of these sugars across the bacterial membrane. The phosphorylation of a given sugar requires four proteins, two general proteins, Enzyme I and HPr and a pair of sugar-specific proteins designated as the Enzyme II complex. The PTS has also been implicated in the induction of synthesis of some catabolic enzyme systems required for the utilization of sugars that are not substrates of the PTS as well as the regulation of the activity of ADENYLYL CYCLASES.

D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.
