The ancestral activation promiscuity of ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylases from oxygenic photosynthetic organisms
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (ADP-Glc PPase) catalyzes the first committed step in the synthesis of glycogen in bacteria and starch in algae and plants. In oxygenic photosynthetic organisms, ADP-Glc PPase is mainly activated by 3-ph...
