Beta-phosphoglucomutase is an enzyme that transfers a phosphoryl group on a glucose monomer from the 1' to the 6' position in the forward direction or the 6' to the 1' position in the reverse. Specifically, it converts Beta-D-glucose-1-phosphate to Beta-D-glucose-6-phosphate. This enzyme participates in both the breakdown and synthesis of glucose. Maltose metabolism in Lactococcus lactis involves the conversion of beta-glucose 1-phosphate to glucose 6-phosphate, a reaction which is reversibly catalysed by a maltose-inducible and glucose-repressible beta-phosphoglucomutase (beta-PGM). Alpha-PGM is expressed constitutively. Beta-phosphoglucomutase is a member of the haloacid dehalogenase superfamily of hydrolase enzymes. The enzyme from Lactococcus lactis has been extensively characterised including a remarkable crystal structure which traps the pentacoordinate transition state.
