Bacterial glycogen/starch synthases are retaining GT-B glycosyltransferases that transfer glucosyl units from ADP-Glc to the non-reducing end of glycogen or starch. We modeled the Escherichia coli glycogen synthase based on the coordinates of the inactive form of the Agrobacterium tumefaciens glycogen synthase and the active form of the maltodextrin phosphorylase, a retaining GT-B glycosyltransferase belonging to a different family. In this model, we identified a set of conserved residues surrounding the sugar nucleotide substrate, and we replaced them with different amino acids by means of site-directed mutagenesis. Kinetic analysis of the mutants revealed the involvement of these residues in ADP-Glc binding. Replacement of Asp21, Asn246 or Tyr355 for Ala decreased the apparent affinity for ADP-Glc 18-, 45-, and 31-fold, respectively. Comparison with other crystallized retaining GT-B glycosyltransferases confirmed the striking similarities among this group of enzymes even though they use different substrates.
