- Abstract
- Conformational changes in hexokinase are induced by its binding to glucose, thus providing an excellent example of an 'induced fit' model. To observe glucose-induced fluorescence restoration in hexokinase II using split-enhanced, green fluorescent protein (EGFP) in a process involving the reconstitution of split EGFP, E. coli cells expressing the chimeric NEGFP:HXK:CEGFP recombinant protein were treated with glucose and visualized via fluorescence read-outs. The reconstituted EGFP generated a strong fluorescence upon glucose stimulation of the bacteria. Moreover, the fluorescence intensity became stronger with increasing glucose up to 10 mM, with a maximum being observed after 60 min in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Conformational changes associated with glucose-induced fit in human hexokinase II can thus be monitored successfully in vivo via fluorescence reconstitution assays, coupled with a quick and easy fluorescent read-out protocol.
