Preliminary crystallographic study of Thermus aquaticus glycerol kinase.
Glycerol kinase (GlpK) is an important enzyme which catalyzes the rate-limiting step in a central biochemical pathway involving glycerol metabolism. GlpK from the thermophile Thermus aquaticus has been overexpressed in glpK-deficient Escherichia coli and crystallized by the hanging-drop method. The crystal belongs to the cubic space group I23, with unit-cell parameters a = b = c = 163.94 (3) A. Native data were collected to 2.87 A resolution on a Cu Kalpha rotating-anode X-ray source.
