Description | This entry refers to the 6-phosphogluconolactonase YbhE type proteins found mainly in enterobacteriaceae organisms.6-phosphogluconolactonases (6PGL) are cytosolic enzymes found in all organisms that catalyse the hydrolysis of 6-phosphogluconolactone to 6-phosphogluconic acid in the oxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway. Trypanosoma brucei and other characterised 6PGL proteins [ ] share an α/β hydrolase fold, with both parallel and anti-parallel β-sheets surrounded by eight α-helices [, ]. In Escherichia coli (strain K12), 6PGL (YbhE) is characterised by a 7-bladed β-propeller fold ( ) [ ]. | Name | 6-phosphogluconolactonase, YbhE-like |
