The role of NH+4 ion and AMP deaminase reaction in the activation of phosphofructokinase with respect to its response to the adenylate energy charge was investigated using permeabilized yeast cells. (a) Phosphofructokinase and AMP deaminase were activated by the decrease in the adenylate energy charge. The addition of NH+4 further stimulated the phosphofructokinase activity in the presence of intracellular level of K+, and the optimal energy charge value giving the maximal response of the enzyme was shifted from 0.3 to the value above 0.5. (b) The increase in NH+4 ion produced through the activation of AMP deaminase by spermine which shows no direct action on the phosphofructokinase activity can activate phosphofructokinase with shift of the optimal energy charge value of the enzyme to 0.5 in the presence of K+, whereas the optimal energy charge value for AMP deaminase reaction was not affected by the addition of spermine. Phosphofructokinase can be activated most effectively by the physiological decrease in the energy charge under the condition of increased NH+4 in the presence of K+. The possibility that the interaction of phosphofructokinase with AMP deaminase under hypoxic condition might be a contributing factor to the Pasteur effect is discussed. 相似文献

Measurement of the flux through the citrate fermentation pathway in resting cells of Lactococcus lactis CRL264 grown in a pH-controlled fermentor at different pH values showed that the pathway was constitutively expressed, but its activity was significantly enhanced at low pH. The flux through the citrate-degrading pathway correlated with the magnitude of the membrane potential and pH gradient that were generated when citrate was added to the cells. The citrate degradation rate and proton motive force were significantly higher when glucose was metabolized at the same time, a phenomenon that could be mimicked by the addition of lactate, the end product of glucose metabolism. The results clearly demonstrate that citrate metabolism in L. lactis is a secondary proton motive force-generating pathway. Although the proton motive force generated by citrate in cells grown at low pH was of the same magnitude as that generated by glucose fermentation, citrate metabolism did not affect the growth rate of L. lactis in rich media. However, inhibition of growth by lactate was relieved when citrate also was present in the growth medium. Citrate did not relieve the inhibition by other weak acids, suggesting a specific role of the citrate transporter CitP in the relief of inhibition. The mechanism of citrate metabolism presented here provides an explanation for the resistance to lactate toxicity. It is suggested that the citrate metabolic pathway is induced under the acidic conditions of the late exponential growth phase to make the cells (more) resistant to the inhibitory effects of the fermentation product, lactate, that accumulates under these conditions. 相似文献

The growth kinetics of Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis were studied in batch culture in conditions of non-limiting lactose and the presence of citric acid. The control of pH modified growth and citrate metabolism but did not change the yield of acid formation. At controlled pH the growth rate was unaffected by citrate metabolism. Lactose was transformed to L-lactate and assay of the metabolic by-products showed some heterofermentation at the end of the growth of cultures with low growth rates. This heterofermentation was interpreted as a slowing down of glycolysis with activation of both the pyruvate formate lyase (PFL) and the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC). Under these conditions the presence of citric acid affected the activity of both the PDHC and the alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). L-Lactate remains the major fermentation end-product and the sole inhibitor of fermentation, this inhibition was greater on growth than on lactic acid production. 相似文献

The rate of glucose and fructose 6-phosphate phosphorylation in islet homogenates is reduced by prior fasting of the donor rats. In fed rats, the velocity of glucose phosphorylation at increasing glucose concentrations (0.1 to 100 mM) is compatible with the presence of two enzyme activities. A preferential effect of fasting upon the high Km enzyme activity can be documented either at low ATP concentration which enhances the fractional contribution of the high Km enzyme activity, or in the presence of glucose 6-phosphate, which suppresses the low Km enzyme activity. Islet phosphofructokinase activity was characterized by inhibition by citrate or high ATP concentrations, and relief from ATP inhibition by AMP. Fasting reduces the activity of phosphofructokinase without altering its sensitivity to ATP and AMP. Cyclic AMP fails to overcome the effect of fasting upon phosphofructokinase. The activity of phosphoglucoisomerase is unaffected by fasting. The fasting-induced adaptation of key glycolytic enzymes could account, in part at least, for reduced metabolism of glucose in islets from fasted rats. 相似文献

The simple mathematical model based on the stoichiometric structure of carbohydrate metabolism and the only allosteric regulation presented, i. e. activation of phosphofructokinase by AMP, was used to study the mechanism of the Pasteur effect, e. g. interrelationship of glycolysis, the Krebs cycle and H-transporting shuttles at varying rates of oxidative phosphorylation and ATPase load. It was shown that the mechanism of the Pasteur effect is based on the presence of two negative feed-back mechanisms in carbohydrate metabolism, namely by the level of ATP in glycolysis and by the level of mitochondrial NADH in the Krebs cycle and H-transporting shuttles. It was also shown that the value and sign of the Pasteur effect depend on the level of ATPase load. The role of this phenomenon in stabilization of ATP in the cell is discussed. The effects of changes in the allosteric properties of phosphofructokinase and low activity of H-transporting shuttles on the Pasteur effect was studied. It was shown that the low values of the pasteur effect in tumour tissues are mainly determined by an insufficient activity of oxidative phosphorylation. 相似文献

The role of fatty acid and polyamine in the interaction of AMP deaminase (EC 3.5.4.6)-ammonium system with glycolysis was investigated using permeabilized yeast cells. (1) The addition of fatty acid inhibited the activity of AMP deaminase in situ, resulting in a decrease in the total adenylate pool depletion, and in the recovery of the adenylate energy charge. (2) The addition of fatty acid resulted in an indirect decrease in the activity of phosphofructokinase (EC 2.7.1.11) through a reduced level of ammonium ion; fatty acid itself did not inhibit phosphofructokinase activity in the presence of excess ammonium ion. (3) Spermine protected AMP deaminase from inhibition by fatty acid: the increased ammonium level enhanced phosphofructokinase activity, glycolytic flux and the recovery of the energy charge. In contrast, alkali metals, which are also activators of AMP deaminase had little effect on the inhibition of the enzyme. The inhibition of glycolysis by fatty acid and its reversal by polyamine can be accounted for by the changes in ammonium ion through the action of AMP deaminase-ammonium system, and the physiological relevance is discussed. 相似文献

Some enzymatic activities of the glycolytic and hexose monophosphate pathways of Candida parapsilosis, a yeast lacking alcohol dehydrogenase but able to grow on high glucose concentrations, were compared to those of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Cells were grown either on 8% glucose or on 2% glycerol and activities measured under optimal conditions. Results were as follows: glycolytic enzymes of C. parapsilosis, except glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, exhibited an activity weaker than that of S. cerevisiae, especially when yeasts were grown on glycerol. Fructose-1,6 bisphosphatase, an enzyme implicated in gluconeogenesis and in the hexose monophosphate pathway, and known to be very sensitive to catabolite repression in S. cerevisiae, was always active in C. parapsilosis even when cells were grown on 8% glucose. However, the allosteric properties towards AMP and fructose-2,6-bisphosphate were the same in both strains. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, two other enzymes of the hexose monophosphate pathway, exhibited a higher activity in C. parapsilosis than in S. cerevisiae. Regulation of two important control points of the glycolytic flux, phosphofructokinase and pyruvate kinase, was investigated. In C. parapsilosis phosphofructokinase was poorly sensitive to ATP but fructose-2,60bisphosphate completely relieved the light ATP inhibition. Pyruvate kinase did not require fructose-1,6-bisphosphate for its activity, and by this way, did not regulate the glycolytic flux. The high glyceraldehyde-3-P-dehydrogenase activity, together with the relative insensitivity of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase to catabolite repression and the high glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase activities suggested that in C. parapsilosis, as in other Candida species and opposite to S. cerevisiae, the glucose degradation mainly occurred through the hexose monophosphate pathway, under both growth conditions used.Abbreviations

AMP deaminase as a control system of glycolysis in yeast. Mechanism of the inhibition of glycolysis by fatty acid and citrate 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The role of fatty acid and citrate on the interaction of the AMP deaminase (EC 3.5.4.6) reaction with glycolysis was investigated using permeabilized yeast cells. (a) Linolenate and citrate inhibited glycolytic flux and the recovery of the adenylate energy charge; however, linolenate remarkably retarded the depletion of the total adenylate pool, which was not at all affected by the addition of citrate. (b) Linolenate inhibited AMP deaminase activity in situ, resulting in the subsequent decrease in ammonium production, which reduced the activity of 6-phosphofructokinase (EC 2.7.1.11), whereas linolenate itself had no ability to inhibit the phosphofructokinase activity in the presence of excess ammonium concentration. (c) Citrate inhibited the activity of phosphofructokinase in situ in the presence and absence of ammonium ion, followed by an inhibition of glycolysis; however, AMP deaminase activity was not inhibited by citrate. The inhibition of glycolysis by fatty acids can be accounted for by the lowered activity of phosphofructokinase as a result of the decreased level of ammonium ion through the inhibition of the AMP deaminase reaction by these ligands, whereas the effect of citrate on glycolysis is a direct inhibition of phosphofructokinase without affecting the activity of AMP deaminase. Fatty acid and citrate, a principal metabolic product of fatty acid oxidation, can be responsible for the control of glycolysis in two different manners. 相似文献

Nongrowing cells of Streptococcus lactis in a pH-stat were dosed with sugar to allow fermentation at the maximum rate or were fed a continuous supply of sugar at rates less than the maximum. Under anaerobic conditions, rapid fermentation of either glucose or lactose was essentially homolactic. However, with strain ML3, limiting the fermentation rate diverted approximately half of the pyruvate to formate, acetate, and ethanol. At limiting glucose fermentation rates, cells contained lower concentrations of lactate dehydrogenase activator (fructose 1,6-diphosphate) and pyruvate formate-lyase inhibitors (triose phosphates). As a result, pyruvate formate-lyase and pyruvate dehydrogenase play a greater role in pyruvate metabolism. In contrast to strain ML3, strain ML8 did not give the same diversion of products under anaerobic conditions, and cells retained higher concentrations of the above effector compounds. Lactose metabolism under aerobic conditions resulted in pyruvate excretion by both S. lactis ML3 and ML8. At 7% of the maximum utilization rate, pyruvate accounted for 69 and 35% of the lactose metabolized by ML3 and ML8, respectively. Acetate was also a major product, especially with ML8. The data suggest that NADH oxidase is involved in coenzyme recycling in the presence of oxygen and that pyruvate formate-lyase is inactivated, but the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex still functions. 相似文献

The presence of 1.0 M KCl or NaCl during growth of Debaryomyces hansenii results in increased ethanol production. An additional increase of fermentation was observed when the salts were also present during incubation under nongrowing conditions. Extracts of cells grown in the presence of salt showed increased alcohol dehydrogenase and phosphofructokinase activities, indicating that these enzymes are responsible for the increased fermentation capacity. This is confirmed by measurements of the glycolytic intermediates. The increased fermentation capacity of the cells grown with salts seems to enable them to cope with the additional energy required for uptake and/or efflux of cations. 相似文献

To obtain a mannitol-producing Lactococcus lactis strain, the mannitol 1-phosphate dehydrogenase gene (mtlD) from Lactobacillus plantarum was overexpressed in a wild-type strain, a lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)-deficient strain, and a strain with reduced phosphofructokinase activity. High-performance liquid chromatography and (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance analysis revealed that small amounts (<1%) of mannitol were formed by growing cells of mtlD-overexpressing LDH-deficient and phosphofructokinase-reduced strains, whereas resting cells of the LDH-deficient transformant converted 25% of glucose into mannitol. Moreover, the formed mannitol was not reutilized upon glucose depletion. Of the metabolic-engineering strategies investigated in this work, mtlD-overexpressing LDH-deficient L. lactis seemed to be the most promising strain for mannitol production. 相似文献

Group N streptococci, which have the lactose phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP)-dependent phosphotransferase system (PTS) and phospho-beta-d-galactosidase (beta-Pgal), grew rapidly on lactose and converted more than 90% of the sugar to l-lactate. In contrast, Streptococcus lactis 7962, which does not have a beta-Pgal, grew slowly on lactose and converted only 15% of the sugar to l-lactate. With glucose and galactose, this strain had growth rates and fermentation patterns similar to those of other S. lactis strains, suggesting that the rapid and homolactic fermentation of lactose that is characteristic of group N streptococci is dependent upon a functional PEP-dependent PTS and the presence of beta-Pgal. Seventeen strains of group N streptococci were examined for the activator specificities of pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase. The properties of each enzyme from all the strains, including S. lactis 7962, were similar. Pyruvate kinase had a broad activator specificity, whereas activation of lactate dehydrogenase was specific for ketohexose diphosphate. All intermediates of lactose metabolism from the hexose phosphates to the triose phosphates activated pyruvate kinase. No activation was obtained with adenosine 5'-monophosphate. K and Mg were required for pyruvate kinase activity but could be replaced by NH(4) and Mn, respectively. Lactate dehydrogenase was activated equally by fructose-1,6-diphosphate and tagatose-1,6-diphosphate, the activation characteristics being pH dependent. The roles of pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase in the regulation of lactose fermentation by group N streptococci are discussed. 相似文献

The physiological role of the inhibition of AMP deaminase (EC 3.5.4.6) by Pi was analyzed using permeabilized yeast cells. (a) Fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (EC 3.1.3.11) was inhibited only a little by AMP, which was readily degraded by AMP deaminase under the in situ conditions. (b) The addition of Pi, which showed no direct effect on fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase, effectively enhanced the inhibition of the enzyme by AMP increased through the inhibition of AMP deaminase. (c) Pi activated phosphofructokinase (EC 2.7.1.11) and inhibited AMP deaminase activity. AMP deaminase reaction can act as a control system of fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase activity and gluconeogenesis/glycolysis reaction through the change in the AMP level. Pi may contribute to the stimulation of glycolysis through the inhibition of fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase by the increase in AMP in addition to the direct activation of phosphofructokinase. 相似文献

1. The properties of phosphofructokinase after its slight purification from the mucosa of rat jejunum were studied. 2. The enzyme is inhibited by almost 100% by an excess of ATP (1.6mm), with 0.2mm-fructose 6-phosphate. AMP, ADP, P(i) and NH(4) (+) at 0.2, 0.76, 1.0 and 2mm respectively do not individually prevent the inhibition of phosphofructokinase activity by 1.6mm-ATP with 0.2mm-fructose 6-phosphate to any great extent, but all of them together completely prevent the inhibition of phosphofructokinase by ATP. 3. One of the effects of high concentrations of ATP on the enzyme was to increase enormously the apparent K(m) value for the other substrate fructose 6-phosphate, and this increase is largely counteracted by the presence of AMP, ADP, P(i) and NH(4) (+). At low concentrations of ATP the above effectors individually decrease the concentration of fructose 6-phosphate required for half-maximum velocity and when present together they decrease it further, in a more than additive way. 4. When fructose 6-phosphate is present at a saturating concentration (5mm), 0.3mm-NH(4) (+) increases the maximum velocity of the reaction 3.3-fold; with 0.5mm-fructose 6-phosphate, 4.5mm-NH(4) (+) is required for maximum effect. The other effectors do not change the maximum reaction velocity. 5. The results presented here suggest that NH(4) (+), AMP, ADP and P(i) synergistically decrease the inhibition of phosphofructokinase activity at high concentrations of ATP by decreasing the concentration of fructose 6-phosphate required for half-maximum velocity. Such synergism among the effectors and an observed, low ;energy charge' [(ATP+(1/2)ADP)/(AMP+ADP+ATP)] in conjunction with the possibility of a relatively high NH(4) (+) and fructose 6-phosphate concentration in this tissue, may keep the mucosal phosphofructokinase active and uninhibited by ATP under aerobic conditions, thus explaining the high rate of aerobic glycolysis and the lack of Pasteur effect in this tissue. 相似文献

Mechanisms regulating adipose tissue pyruvate dehydrogenase 总被引:21,自引:20,他引:1
1. Isolated rat epididymal fat-cell mitochondria showed an inverse relationship between ATP content and pyruvate dehydrogenase activity consistent with competitive inhibition of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase by ADP. At constant ATP concentration pyruvate rapidly activated pyruvate dehydrogenase in fat-cell mitochondria, an observation consistent with inhibition of fat-cell pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase by pyruvate. Pyruvate dehydrogenase in fat-cell mitochondria was also activated by nicotinate (100mum) and by extramitochondrial Na(+) (replacing K(+)) but not by ouabain or insulin. 2. In rat epididymal fat-pads incubated in vitro pyruvate dehydrogenase was activated by addition of insulin in the absence of substrate or in the presence of glucose (10mm) or fructose (10mm). Glucose and fructose activated the dehydrogenase in the absence or in the presence of insulin, and pyruvate also activated in the absence of insulin. It is concluded that extracellular glucose, fructose and pyruvate may activate the dehydrogenase by raising intracellular pyruvate and that insulin may activate the dehydrogenase by some other mechanism. 3. Ouabain (300mum) and medium in which K(+) was replaced by Na(+), activated pyruvate dehydrogenase in epididymal fat-pads. Prostaglandin E(1) (1mug/ml), 5-methylpyrazole-3-carboxylate (10mum) and nicotinate (10mum), which are as effective as insulin as inhibitors of lipolysis and which like insulin lower tissue concentration of cyclic AMP (adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate), did not activate pyruvate dehydrogenase. Higher concentrations of prostaglandin E(1) (10mug/ml) and nicotinate (100mum) produced some activation of the dehydrogenase. 4. It is concluded that the activation of pyruvate dehydrogenase by insulin is not due to the antilipolytic effect of the hormone and that the action of insulin in lowering adipose-cell concentrations of cyclic AMP does not afford an obvious explanation for the effect of the hormone on pyruvate dehydrogenase. The possibility that the effects of insulin, ouabain and K(+)-free medium may be mediated by Ca(2+) is discussed. 相似文献

Mammalian and yeast hexokinases were reported to be reversibly inhibited by fructose 2,6-bisphosphate in the presence of cytosolic proteins (H. Niemeyer, C. Cerpa, and E. Rabajille (1987) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 257, 17-26). Reinvestigation of this finding using a radioassay with [14C]glucose as substrate showed no effect of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate on hexokinase activity of rat liver cytosols. Detailed reexamination of the spectrophotometric assay resulted in the observation that the fructose 2,6-bisphosphate-dependent inhibition was a function of the cytosolic phosphoglucose isomerase and phosphofructokinase activities compared to the amount of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase used as auxiliary enzyme. The diminution or loss of the fructose 2,6-bisphosphate-dependent inhibition produced in aged cytosols was restored by addition of crystalline muscle phosphofructokinase, as well as by decreasing the amount of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in the assay. When phosphoglucose isomerase, phosphofructokinase, and hexokinase activities were separated by DEAE-chromatography of liver cytosol, no fructose 2,6-bisphosphate-dependent inhibition of hexokinase was found in any single fraction of the chromatogram. However, combination of fractions containing both phosphoglucose isomerase and phosphofructokinase displayed the fructose 2,6-bisphosphate-dependent inhibition on either endogenous hexokinase or added yeast hexokinase. From these results we conclude that the activation of phosphofructokinase elicited by fructose 2,6-bisphosphate is responsible for the hexokinase inhibition observed in the coupled spectrophotometric assay. 相似文献

AIMS: To analyse the phenotype of a relA acid-resistant mutant of Lactococcus lactis ssp. cremoris MG1363, and to compare the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase regulation in both strains. METHODS AND RESULTS: Lactococcus lactis ssp. cremoris MG1363 and the relA mutant affected in the (p)ppGpp synthetase were grown in a series of batch-mode fermentation at different pH-regulated conditions with glucose as carbon substrate. All the determinants of the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) regulation were quantified. In L. lactis MG1363, the GAPDH was strongly inhibited in vitro by decreased pH values, but this inhibition was totally compensated in vivo by the lower NADH/NAD+ ratio and more efficiently by the important increase in the intracellular amount of GAPDH. In contrast to the wild type, GAPDH activity of the relA strain was not increased when grown at low pH but the level of GAPDH remained constitutively high. However, pH homeostasis was not improved in the relA mutant and it grew slower and exhibited a lower glycolytic flux than the wild-type strain at low pH. CONCLUSIONS: Despite a better resistance to acid stress, the increased survival in L. lactis relA mutant at low pH was not related with an improved pH homeostasis but was associated with a diminished capacity to maintain a high flux through glycolysis. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The phenotype of a strong acid-resistant L. lactis strain was established in acid conditions and some key metabolic parameters compared with the wild type. This analysis led to the conclusion that growth and survival seem to be antinomic parameters, since improving one of them leads to a decrease in the other one. 相似文献

Activation of rabbit muscle phosphofructokinase by F-actin and reconstituted thin filaments 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Striking effects of F-actin and the reconstituted thin filament of muscle on the catalytic activity of rabbit muscle phosphofructokinase are demonstrated through direct measurements of enzymatic activity by using the pH stat. The addition of F-actin to solutions of phosphofructokinase at low ionic strength (10 mM KCl and 5 mM MgCl2) partially reverses the inhibition of the enzyme seen at high ATP concentrations and increases the apparent affinity of the enzyme for fructose 6-phosphate with slight effect on Vmax. F-Actin augments the activation of the enzyme obtained with AMP and partially counters the inhibition obtained with citrate. The maximum effect in the reversal of ATP inhibition is about the same for combinations of either F-actin or the thin filament with AMP as it is for AMP alone. In general, the effect of F-actin on the catalytic activity of phosphofructokinase is larger than that of the thin filament. The activation of phosphofructokinase by F-actin persists at physiological ionic strength. 相似文献

An yeast, Hansenula jadinii, which was one of the best producers of CDP-choline on our system, lost its activity when cultured in jar fermenter. This phenomenon was also reproduced in flasks. Cells cultured aerobically in the medium containing 1 % of glucose (A-cells) could not phosphorylate nucleotides although development of mitochondria was observed, whereas cells cultured less aerobically in the medium containing 5% of glucose (D-cells) could phosphorylate CMP to CTP and finally produce CDP-choline although they had only poor mitochondria. Further study revealed that the A-cells were unstable in hexokinase activity, although they had the dense cytosol, whereas the D-cells remained stable, and they had many round particles. Glycolytic activity was about 4 times stronger in the D-cells than in the A-cells. The phenomenon that respiration (development of mitochondria) suppressed fermentation (glycolysis) has been known as the Pasteur effect. However, in our system, phosphofructokinase, the primary key enzyme of the Pasteur effect, was active in the A-cells. Therefore, our phenomenon seemed to be a modified Pasteur effect. 相似文献
