Autophosphorylation of Yeast Hexokinase PII

Abstract
Autophosorylation of hexokinase PII was studied using an enzyme purified from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Incubation of this enzyme preparation with [.gamma.-32P]ATP and Mn2+ or Mg2+ gave a phosphoprotein of molecular mass 58 000 which corresponded to hexokinase PII. D-Xylose stimulated autophosphorylation of hexokinase PII. Dilution of hexokinase PII over a 10-fold concentration range did not change the specific activity of hexokinase PII autophosphorylation, suggesting that it may occur by an intramolecular mechanism.
