In enzymology, an acylphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.7) is an enzyme that catalyzes the following chemical reaction:[3]
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are and H2O, whereas its two products are carboxylate and phosphate.
Function[]
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on acid anhydrides in phosphorus-containing anhydrides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is acylphosphate phosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include acetylphosphatase, 1,3-diphosphoglycerate phosphatase, acetic phosphatase, Ho 1-3, and GP 1-3.
This enzyme participates in 3 metabolic pathways:
- glycolysis / gluconeogenesis
- pyruvate metabolism, and
- .
Structural studies[]
Structures of this enzyme have been solved by both NMR and X-ray crystallography. See the links to PDB structures in the info boxes on the right for a current list of structures available in the PDB. The protein contains a beta sheet stacked on two alpha helices described by CATH as an Alpha-Beta Plait fold. The active site sits between sheet and helices and contains an arginine and an asparagine.[4] Most structures are monomeric [5]
