Description | Several bacteria use glycerol dehydrogenase to transform glycerol into dihydroxyacetone (Dha), which is subsequently converted into Dha phosphate (Dha-P) by an ATP- or phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP)-dependent Dha kinase. Listeria innocua possesses two potential PEP-dependent Dha kinases. This entry includes the PEP-dependent dihydroxyacetone kinases 1 and 2, phosphoryl donor subunit DhaM from Listeria innocua serovar 6a [ ]. This entry also includes DhaM from Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis. Its structure has been solved []. | Name | Dihydroxyacetone kinase phosphotransferase subunit DhaM |
Short Name | DhaM | Type | Family |
