Protein Class TRANSFERASE
Function Dihydroxyacetone binding subunit of the dihydroxyacetone kinase, which is responsible for the phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP)-dependent phosphorylation of dihydroxyacetone via a phosphoryl group transfer from DhaL-ATP (PubMed:15476397, PubMed:11350937). Binds covalently dihydroxyacetone in hemiaminal linkage (PubMed:15476397). DhaK acts also as corepressor of the transcription activator DhaR by binding to the sensor domain of DhaR (PubMed:24440518). In the presence of dihydroxyacetone, DhaL-ADP displaces DhaK and stimulates DhaR activity (PubMed:24440518). In the absence of dihydroxyacetone, DhaL-ADP is converted by the PTS to DhaL-ATP, which does not bind to DhaR (PubMed:24440518).
