title: Bovine hexokinase type I: full-length cDNA sequence and characterisation of the recombinant enzyme.
abstract: This study reports the revised and full-length cDNA sequence of bovine hexokinase type I obtained from bovine brain. Since dissimilarities have been observed between the published bovine hexokinase type I coding sequence (GenBank accession no. M65140) (Genomics 11: 1014-1024, 1991) and an analysed portion of bovine hexokinase type I gene, the entire open reading frame was re-sequenced and the ends of cDNA isolated by rapid amplification of cDNA ends. The coding sequences, when compared with the published bovine hexokinase type I, contained a large number of mismatches that lead to changes in the resulting amino acid sequence. The revisions result in a hexokinase type I cDNA of 3619 bp that encodes a protein of 917 amino acids highly homologous to human hexokinase type I. The expression of the recombinant full-length enzyme demonstrated that it was a catalytically active hexokinase. When characterised for its kinetic and regulatory properties, it displayed the same affinity for glucose and MgATP as the human hexokinase type I and was inhibited by glucose 6-phosphate competitively versus MgATP. The production of the N- and C-terminal recombinant halves of the enzyme followed by comparison with the full-length hexokinase indicated that the catalytic activity is located in the C-terminal domain.
