As shown in the present work, several bacterial operons comprise: (1) a homologue of fructoselysine-6-phosphate deglycase; (2) a second homologue of the isomerase domain of glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase, more closely related to it; and (3) components of a novel phosphotransferase system, but no FrlD homologue. The FrlB homologue (GfrF) and the closer glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase homologue (GfrE) encoded by an Enterococcus faecium operon were expressed in E. coli and purified. Similar to FrlB, GfrF catalysed the reversible conversion of fructoselysine 6-phosphate into glucose 6-phosphate and lysine. When incubated with fructose 6-phosphate and elevated concentrations of lysine, GfrE catalysed the formation of a compound identified as 2-\u03f5-lysino-2-deoxy-6-phospho-glucose (glucoselysine 6-phosphate) by NMR. GfrE also catalysed the reciprocal conversion, i.e. the formation of fructose 6-phosphate (but not glucose 6-phosphate) from glucoselysine 6-phosphate. The equilibrium constant of this reaction (0.8\u00a0M) suggests that the enzyme serves to degrade glucoselysine 6-phosphate. In conclusion, GfrF and GfrE serve to metabolize glycation products formed from lysine and glucose (fructoselysine) or fructose (glucoselysine), via their 6-phospho derivatives. The latter are presumably formed by the putative phosphotransferase system encoded by gfrA\u2013gfrD. The designation gfr (glycation and fructation product degradation) is proposed for this operon. This is the first description of an enzyme participating in the metabolism of fructation products.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1042\/bj20051183","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,12,2]],"date-time":"2005-12-02T12:23:50Z","timestamp":1133526230000},"page":"263-269","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1042\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Identification of glucoselysine-6-phosphate deglycase, an enzyme involved in the metabolism of the fructation product glucoselysine"],"prefix":"10.1042","volume":"392","author":[{"given":"Elsa","family":"Wiame","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Physiological Chemistry, Universit\u00e9 Catholique de Louvain and the Christian de Duve Institute of Cellular Pathology, Avenue Hippocrate 75, B-1200 Brussels, Belgium"}]},{"given":"Pedro","family":"Lamosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Tecnologia Qu\u00edmica e Biol\u00f3gica, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Rua da Quinta Grande 6, Apartado 127, 2780-156 Oeiras, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Helena","family":"Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Tecnologia Qu\u00edmica e Biol\u00f3gica, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Rua da Quinta Grande 6, Apartado 127, 2780-156 Oeiras, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Emile","family":"Van\u00a0Schaftingen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Physiological Chemistry, Universit\u00e9 Catholique de Louvain and the Christian de Duve Institute of Cellular Pathology, Avenue Hippocrate 75, B-1200 Brussels, Belgium"}]}],"member":"288","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,11,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021112217160067100_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"527","DOI":"10.7326\/0003-4819-101-4-527","article-title":"Nonenzymatic glycosylation and the pathogenesis of diabetic complications","volume":"101","author":"Brownlee","year":"1984","journal-title":"Ann.
