EC 2.7.9.4 Details
EC number
2.7.9.4
Accepted name
α-glucan, water dikinase
Reaction
ATP + α-glucan + H2O = AMP + phospho-α-glucan + phosphate
Other name(s)
starch-related R1 protein, GWD
Systematic name
ATP:α-glucan, water phosphotransferase
CAS registry number
664327-94-0
Comment
Requires Mg2+. ATP appears to be the only phosphate donor. No activity could be detected using GTP, UTP, phosphoenolpyruvate or diphosphate [1]. The protein phosphorylates glucans exclusively on O-6 of glucosyl residues [2]. The protein phosphorylates itself with the β-phosphate of ATP, which is then transferred to the glucan [1].
