Hexokinase-1 (HK1, EC 2.7.1.1) is the ubiquitously expressed hexokinase isozyme that catalyzes the first committed step of glucose metabolism, the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of D-glucose to D-glucose 6-phosphate (G6P). G6P is then partitioned between glycolysis, the pentose phosphate pathway, and glycogen synthesis. HK1 is a ~100 kDa enzyme that arose by duplication and fusion of an ancestral ~50 kDa hexokinase; its C-terminal half carries the catalytic site while the N-terminal half carries a regulatory glucose-6-phosphate binding site. It also phosphorylates other D-hexoses including D-mannose, D-fructose, and D-glucosamine. As an allosteric enzyme it is feedback-inhibited by its product G6P. HK1 is largely cytosolic but a pool associates with the mitochondrial outer membrane through the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC/porin) via an N-terminal mitochondrial-binding peptide; this association couples glycolysis to oxidative phosphorylation and confers an anti-apoptotic role. Loss of red-cell hexokinase activity causes non-spherocytic hemolytic anemia, and specific HK1 variants cause hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy and retinitis pigmentosa.

GO_REF:0000033 |
ACCEPT |
Summary: IBA transfer of glucose-phosphorylating (glucokinase) activity across the hexokinase family. In GOA practice this term is used for the glucose-to-G6P reaction catalyzed by hexokinases, which is HK1's core catalytic reaction, though captured most precisely by the broad hexokinase activity term.
Reason: HK1 phosphorylates D-glucose to D-glucose 6-phosphate, the first committed step of glycolysis, consistent with the phylogenetic (IBA) inference and directly supported experimentally.

HK1 is the ubiquitously-expressed hexokinase isozyme (EC 2.7.1.1) that catalyses the
first committed step of glucose catabolism: ATP-dependent phosphorylation of D-glucose
to D-glucose 6-phosphate (G6P). G6P is then partitioned between glycolysis, the pentose
phosphate pathway, and glycogen synthesis. HK1 is a ~100 kDa protein arising from
duplication and fusion of an ancestral 50 kDa yeast-type hexokinase; the C-terminal half
carries the catalytic site while the N-terminal half carries a regulatory/allosteric
glucose-6-phosphate binding site (both halves fold as a hexokinase domain)
[PMID:1637300; PMID:3207429].
Key established facts:
Core: hexokinase activity (GO:0004396) MF; glycolytic process (GO:0006096) and glucose
metabolic process (GO:0006006) BP; cytosol (GO:0005829) CC. Mitochondrial-outer-membrane
association is a real, well-supported localization (accept CC), but the enzymatic core
function acts in the cytosol.

description: Hexokinase-1 (HK1, EC 2.7.1.1) is the ubiquitously expressed hexokinase
isozyme that catalyzes the first committed step of glucose metabolism, the ATP-dependent
phosphorylation of D-glucose to D-glucose 6-phosphate (G6P). G6P is then partitioned
between glycolysis, the pentose phosphate pathway, and glycogen synthesis. HK1 is
a ~100 kDa enzyme that arose by duplication and fusion of an ancestral ~50 kDa hexokinase;
its C-terminal half carries the catalytic site while the N-terminal half carries
a regulatory glucose-6-phosphate binding site. It also phosphorylates other D-hexoses
including D-mannose, D-fructose, and D-glucosamine. As an allosteric enzyme it is
feedback-inhibited by its product G6P. HK1 is largely cytosolic but a pool associates
with the mitochondrial outer membrane through the voltage-dependent anion channel
(VDAC/porin) via an N-terminal mitochondrial-binding peptide; this association couples
glycolysis to oxidative phosphorylation and confers an anti-apoptotic role. Loss
of red-cell hexokinase activity causes non-spherocytic hemolytic anemia, and specific
HK1 variants cause hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy and retinitis pigmentosa.

review:
summary: CAFA IDA for peptidoglycan binding based on PMID:27374331, in which hexokinase
senses peptidoglycan-derived N-acetylglucosamine at its active site, acting
as a cytosolic pattern-recognition receptor.
action: KEEP_AS_NON_CORE
reason: HK1 detects the NAG subunit of bacterial peptidoglycan via its glucose-binding
active site (competitive inhibition), functioning as an innate-immune sensor
(PMID:27374331); a genuine non-core (moonlighting) function.
