Propionate kinase (EC 2.7.2.15, PduW, TdcD, propionate/acetate kinase) is an enzyme with systematic name ATP:propanoate phosphotransferase. It catalyses the following reversible chemical reaction
The enzyme characterised from Escherichia coli requires magnesium ion (Mg2+) and converts propionic acid to propanoyl phosphate by transferring a phosphate group from the cofactor, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP). The reaction is part of a sequence which degrades the amino acid L-threonine to propionic acid.[1] The enzyme is also found in Salmonella enterica, which allows that bacterium to grow on propylene glycol.[2][3] It can also act on acetic acid.[4]
Structural studies
X-ray crystallography has been used to determine the structure of the enzyme from Salmonella typhimurium.[5][6]
