Acetate Kinase (Crude Enzyme)

In molecular biology, acetate kinase, which is predominantly found in micro-organisms, facilitates the production of acetyl-CoA byphosphorylating acetate in the presence of ATP and a divalent cation. The enzyme is important in the process of glycolysis, enzyme levels being increased in the presence of excess glucose. The growth of a bacterial mutant lacking acetate kinase has been shown to be inhibited by glucose, suggesting that the enzyme is involved in excretion of excess carbohydrate. This product with the indicated enzyme activity was briefly purified from engineered E. coli.
