Protein Domain : ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, conserved site IPR005836

Type  Conserved_site
Description  ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (glucose-1-phosphate adenylyltransferase) [ ] () catalyzes a very important step in the biosynthesis of alpha 1,4-glucans (glycogen or starch) in bacteria and plants: synthesis of the activated glucosyl donor, ADP-glucose, from glucose-1-phosphate and ATP. ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase is a tetrameric allosterically regulated enzyme. It is a homotetramer in bacteria while in plant chloroplasts and amyloplasts, it is a heterotetramer of two different, yet evolutionary related, subunits.There are a number of conserved regions in the sequence of bacterial and plant ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase subunits.
