In Eubacteria, the utilization of a number of extracellular carbohydrates is mediated by sugar specific phosphoenolepyruvate (PEP) dependent sugar phosphotransferase systems (PTSs), which simultaneously import und phosphorylate their target sugars. Here, we report the crystal structure of the EIIAgntcomponent of the so far little investigated Enterococcus faecalis gluconate specific PTS. The crystal structure shows a tightly interacting dimer of EIIAgntwhich is structurally similar to the related EIIAmanfrom Escherichia coli. Homology modeling of E. faecalis HPr, EIIBmanand their complexes with EIIAmansuggests that despite moderate sequence identity between EIIAmanand EIIAgnt, the active sites closely match the situation observed in the E. coli system with His-9 of EIIAgntbeing the likely phosphoryl group carrier. We therefore propose that the phosphoryl transfer reactions involving EIIAgntproceed according to a mechanism analog to the one described for E. coli EIIAman.
