The enzymes from mammals and from yeast are phosphorylated by
(2R)-2,3-bis-phosphoglycerate, which is also an intermediate (see
introduction to section EC 5.4.2). With the rabbit muscle enzyme,
dissociation of bisphosphate from the enzyme is much slower than the
overall isomerization. These enzymes also catalyse, slowly, the
reactions of EC 5.4.2.4 bisphosphoglycerate mutase; they were
formerly listed as EC 2.7.5.3. Enzymes from wheat, rice, insects and
some fungi, however, have maximum activity in the absence of
2,3-bisphosphoglycerate, and were formerly listed under the present
number as phosphoglycerate phosphomutase. |
