Net rate constants that define the steady-state rate through a sequence of steps and the corresponding effective energy barriers for two (PO3-)-transfer steps in the phosphoglucomutase reaction were compared as a function of metal ion, M, where M = Mg2+ and Cd2+. These steps involve the reaction of either the 1-phosphate or the 6-phosphate of glucose 1,6-bisphosphate (Glc-P2) bound to the dephosphoenzyme (ED) to produce the phosphoenzyme (EP) and the free monophosphates, glucose 1-phosphate (Glc-1-P) or glucose 6-phosphate (Glc-6-P): EP.M + Glc-1-P----ED.M.Glc-P2----EP.M.Glc-6-P6. Before this comparison was made, net rate constants for the Cd2+ enzyme, obtained at high enzyme concentration via 31P NMR saturation-transfer studies [Post, C. B., Ray, W. J., Jr., & Gorenstein, D. G. (1989) Biochemistry (preceding paper in this issue)], were appropriately scaled by using the observed constants to calculate both the expected isotope-transfer rate at equilibrium and the steady-state rate under initial velocity conditions and comparing the calculated values with those measured in dilute solution. For the Mg2+ enzyme, narrow limits on possible values of the corresponding net rate constants were imposed on the basis of initial velocity rate constants for the forward and reverse directions plus values for the equilibrium distribution of central complexes, since direct measurement is not feasible. The effective energy barriers for both the Mg2+ and Cd2+ enzymes, calculated from the respective net rate constants, together with previously values for the equilibrium distribution of complexes in both enzymic systems [Ray, W. J., Jr., & Long, J. W. (1976) Biochemistry 15, 4018-4025], show that the 100-fold decrease in the kappa cat for the Cd2+ relative to the Mg2+ enzyme is caused by two factors: the increased stability of the intermediate bisphosphate complex and the decreased ability to cope with the phosphate ester involving the 1-hydroxyl group of the glucose ring. In fact, it is unlikely that the efficiency of (PO3-) transfer to the 6-hydroxyl group of bound Glc-1-P (thermodynamically favorable direction) is reduced by more than an order of magnitude in the Cd2+ enzyme. By contrast, the efficiency of the Li+ enzyme in the same (PO3-)-transfer step is less than 4 x 10(-8) that of the Mg2+ enzyme.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

UDP-Glc pyrophosphorylase (UGPase) is an essential enzyme responsible for production of UDP-Glc, which is used in hundreds of glycosylation reactions involving addition of Glc to a variety of compounds. In this study, barley UGPase was characterized with respect to effects of its substrates on activity and quaternary structure of the protein. Its Km values with Glc-1-P and UTP were 0.33 and 0.25 mM, respectively. Besides using Glc-1-P as a substrate, the enzyme had also considerable activity with Gal-1-P; however, the Km for Gal-1-P was very high (>10 mM), rendering this reaction unlikely under physiological conditions. UGPase had a relatively broad pH optimum of 6.5–8.5, regardless of the direction of reaction. The enzyme equilibrium constant was 0.4, suggesting slight preference for the Glc-1-P synthesis direction of the reaction. The quaternary structure of the enzyme, studied by Gas-phase Electrophoretic Mobility Macromolecule Analysis (GEMMA), was affected by addition of either single or both substrates in either direction of the reaction, resulting in a shift from UGPase dimers toward monomers, the active form of the enzyme. The substrate-induced changes in quaternary structure of the enzyme may have a regulatory role to assure maximal activity. Kinetics and factors affecting the oligomerization status of UGPase are discussed. 相似文献

To evaluate anion exchange as the mechanistic basis of sugar phosphate transport, natural and artificial membranes were used in studies of glucose 6-phosphate (Glc-6-P) and inorganic phosphate (Pi) accumulation by the uhpT-encoded protein (UhpT) of Escherichia coli. Experiments with intact cells demonstrated that UhpT catalyzed the neutral exchange of internal and external Pi, and work with everted as well as right-side-out membrane vesicles showed further that UhpT mediated the heterologous exchange of Pi and Glc-6-P. When loaded with Pi, but not when loaded with morpholinopropanesulfonate (MOPS), everted vesicles took up Glc-6-P to levels 100-fold above medium concentration in a reaction unaffected by the ionophores valinomycin, valinomycin plus nigericin, and carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone. Similarly, right-side-out vesicles were capable of Glc-6-P transport, but only if a suitable internal countersubstrate was available. Thus, in MOPS-loaded vesicles, oxidative metabolism established a proton-motive force that supported proline or Pi accumulation, but transport of Glc-6-P was found only if vesicles could accumulate Pi during a preincubation. After reconstitution of UhpT into proteoliposomes it was possible to show as well that the level of accumulation of Glc-6-P (17 to 560 nmol/mg of protein) was related directly to the internal concentration of Pi. These results are most easily understood if the transport of glucose 6-phosphate in E. coli occurs by anion exchange rather than by nH+/anion support. 相似文献

Kinetic studies of phosphoacetylglucosamine mutase (EC 2.7.5.2) for the following reactions: 1) Glc-1-P in equilibrium Glc-6-P and 2) GlcNAc-1-P in equilibrium GlcNAc-6-P have been conducted in the presence of Glc-1,6-P2 and GlcNAc-1,6-P2, respectively. In the first reaction, the initial velocity studies at various concentrations of one substrate showed a series of parallel lines in the Line-weaver-Burk plot when the concentrations of the other substrate were changed at several fixed levels. For both reactions, the initial velocity studies performed at fixed ratios of both substrates showed linear lines in the double reciprocal plot. The competitive substrate inhibition pattern was observed in the second reaction. A ping-pong mechanism is proposed for phosphoacetyl-glucosamine mutase. In addition, phosphoacetylglucosamine mutase can be phosphorylated by the addition of Glc-1-[32P]P probably via the reaction of Glc-1-[32P]P with the phosphoenzyme followed by the release of glucose-monophosphate leaving the 32P with the phosphoenzyme. The linkage between the phosphoryl residue and enzyme is stable in acid, but labile in alkali, suggesting phosphoserine (or phosphothreonine) as the phosphorylated amino acid. Biphasic heat denaturation curves suggest the existence of heat-stable and heat-labile forms of this enzyme. 相似文献

UDP-GlcNAc, an activated and essential form of GlcNAc which is an important component in the polysaccharide structure of most organisms, is synthesized from GlcNAc-1-P and UTP by GlcNAc-1-P UTase. We previously reported the identification of the extremely thermostable ST0452 protein, which has dual sugar-1-P NTase activities (Glc-1-P TTase and GlcNAc-1-P UTase activities) from an acidothermophilic archaeon, Sulfolobus tokodaii strain 7. Detailed analyses of the protein indicated that the activity is slightly lower than that of bacteria. For industrial applications, activity needs to be increased without decreasing thermostability. Therefore, to enhance this activity, we introduced mutations into the amino acid residues located within the predicted reaction centre by targeted mutagenesis. All 12 mutant ST0452 proteins showed no decrease in thermostability. Among them, six mutant proteins were found to have increased GlcNAc-1-P UTase activity under optimal reaction conditions with sufficient substrates or an appropriate metal ion. Our results indicate that targeted mutagenesis is a powerful technique for in vitro production of a thermostable enzyme with enhanced activity. The results of this study also indicate that the space for the metal ion is important for selecting the type of metal ion and also affects the rate of the reaction. 相似文献

Phosphoglucomutase is inhibited by a complex formed from alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate (Glc-1-P) and inorganic vanadate (Vi). Both the inhibition at steady state and the rate of approach to steady state are dependent on the concentrations of both Glc-1-P and Vi. Inhibition is competitive versus alpha-D-glucose 1,6-bisphosphate (Glc-P2) and is ascribed to binding of the 6-vanadate ester of Glc-1-P (V-6-Glc-1-P) to the dephospho form of phosphoglucomutase (E). The inhibition constant for V-6-Glc-1-P at pH 7.4 was determined from steady-state kinetic measurements to be 2 x 10(-12) M. The first-order rate constant for approach to steady state increases hyperbolically with inhibitor concentration. The results are consistent with rapid equilibrium binding of V-6-Glc-1-P to E, with dissociation constant 1 x 10(-9) M, followed by rate-limiting conversion of the E.V-6-Glc-1-P complex to another species, E*.V-6-Glc-1-P, with first-order rate constant 4 x 10(-2)s-1. The rate constant determined for the reverse reaction, conversion of E*.V-6-Glc-1-P to E.V-6-Glc-1-P, is 2.5 x 10(-4)s-1. Formation of E*.V-6-Glc-1-P can also occur via binding of glucose 6-vanadate to the phospho form of phosphoglucomutase (E-P) followed by phosphoryl transfer and rearrangement of the enzyme-product complex. 相似文献

Phosphoglucomutase (PGM) is a key enzyme in glucose metabolism, where it catalyzes the interconversion of glucose 1-phosphate (Glc-1-P) and glucose 6-phosphate (Glc-6-P). In this study, we make the novel observation that PGM is also involved in the regulation of cellular Ca(2+) homeostasis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. When a strain lacking the major isoform of PGM (pgm2Delta) was grown on media containing galactose as sole carbon source, its rate of Ca(2+) uptake was 5-fold higher than an isogenic wild-type strain. This increased rate of Ca(2+) uptake resulted in a 9-fold increase in the steady-state total cellular Ca(2+) level. The fraction of cellular Ca(2+) located in the exchangeable pool in the pgm2Delta strain was found to be as large as the exchangeable fraction observed in wild-type cells, suggesting that the depletion of Golgi Ca(2+) stores is not responsible for the increased rate of Ca(2+) uptake. We also found that growth of the pgm2Delta strain on galactose media is inhibited by 10 microM cyclosporin A, suggesting that activation of the calmodulin/calcineurin signaling pathway is required to activate the Ca(2+) transporters that sequester the increased cytosolic Ca(2+) load caused by this high rate of Ca(2+) uptake. We propose that these Ca(2+)-related alterations are attributable to a reduced metabolic flux between Glc-1-P and Glc-6-P due to a limitation of PGM enzymatic activity in the pgm2Delta strain. Consistent with this hypothesis, we found that this "metabolic bottleneck" resulted in an 8-fold increase in the Glc-1-P level compared with the wild-type strain, while the Glc-6-P and ATP levels were normal. These results suggest that Glc-1-P (or a related metabolite) may participate in the control of Ca(2+) uptake from the environment. 相似文献

Glucose 1,6-bisphosphate (Glc-1,6-P(2)) concentration in brain is much higher than what is required for the functioning of phosphoglucomutase, suggesting that this compound has a role other than as a cofactor of phosphomutases. In cell-free systems, Glc-1,6-P(2) is formed from 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate and Glc-6-P by two related enzymes: PGM2L1 (phosphoglucomutase 2-like 1) and, to a lesser extent, PGM2 (phosphoglucomutase 2). It is hydrolyzed by the IMP-stimulated brain Glc-1,6-bisphosphatase of still unknown identity. Our aim was to test whether Glc-1,6-bisphosphatase corresponds to the phosphomannomutase PMM1, an enzyme of mysterious physiological function sharing several properties with Glc-1,6-bisphosphatase. We show that IMP, but not other nucleotides, stimulated by >100-fold (K(a) approximately 20 mum) the intrinsic Glc-1,6-bisphosphatase activity of recombinant PMM1 while inhibiting its phosphoglucomutase activity. No such effects were observed with PMM2, an enzyme paralogous to PMM1 that physiologically acts as a phosphomannomutase in mammals. Transfection of HEK293T cells with PGM2L1, but not the related enzyme PGM2, caused an approximately 20-fold increase in the concentration of Glc-1,6-P(2). Transfection with PMM1 caused a profound decrease (>5-fold) in Glc-1,6-P(2) in cells that were or were not cotransfected with PGM2L1. Furthermore, the concentration of Glc-1,6-P(2) in wild-type mouse brain decreased with time after ischemia, whereas it did not change in PMM1-deficient mouse brain. Taken together, these data show that PMM1 corresponds to the IMP-stimulated Glc-1,6-bisphosphatase and that this enzyme is responsible for the degradation of Glc-1,6-P(2) in brain. In addition, the role of PGM2L1 as the enzyme responsible for the synthesis of the elevated concentrations of Glc-1,6-P(2) in brain is established. 相似文献

Liver phosphoglucomutase was found to catalyze also the reaction of Glc-1,6-P2 formation from Glc-1-P and Fru-1,6-Pz or Glc-1-P and glycerate-1,3-P2. The specific activity of Glc-1,6-P2 formation from Glc-1-P and Fru-1,6-P2 was 1/9200 of that of the mutase activity. The activity of Glc-1,6-P2 formation from Glc-1-P and glycerate-1,3-P2 was 1/122,000 of the mutase activity. From the results of the kinetics and the thermal inactivation experiments, the reaction of the mutase and Glc-1,6-P2 synthesis were strongly suggested to occur at the same active site of liver phosphoglucomutase.Liver phosphoglucomutase exhibited the Glc-1,6-P2 phosphatase activity only in the presence of xylose 1-phosphate. The specific activity of phosphatase was only 1/154,000 of that of the mutase activity. 相似文献

One of the major protein kinases (PK(III)) that phosphorylates serine-158 of spinach sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS), which is responsible for light/dark modulation of activity, is known to be a member of the SNF1-related family of protein kinases. In the present study, we have developed a fluorescence-based continuous assay for measurement of PK(III) activity. Using the continuous assay, along with the fixed-time-point (32)P-incorporation assay, we demonstrate that PK(III) activity is inhibited by glucose-6-phosphate (Glc-6-P). Relative inhibition by Glc-6-P was increased by decreasing pH from 8. 5 to 5.5 and by reducing the concentration of Mg(2+) in the assay from 10 to 2 mM. Under likely physiological conditions (pH 7.0 and 2 mM Mg(2+)), 10 mM Glc-6-P inhibited kinase activity approximately 70%. Inhibition by Glc-6-P could not be ascribed to contaminants in the commercial preparations. Other metabolites inhibited PK(III) in the following order: Glc-6-P > mannose-6-P, fructose-1,6P(2) > ribose-5-P, 3-PGA, fructose-6-P. Inorganic phosphate, Glc, and AMP were not inhibitory, and free Glc did not reverse the inhibition by Glc-6-P. Because SNF1-related protein kinases are thought to function broadly in the regulation of enzyme activity and gene expression, Glc-6-P inhibition of PK(III) activity potentially provides a mechanism for metabolic regulation of the reactions catalyzed by these important protein kinases. 相似文献

The beta-phosphoro[35S]thioate analogue of UDP-glucose ((beta-35S)UDP-Glc) is utilized with approximately the same efficiency as the parent compound by the UDP-glucose:glycoprotein glucose-1-phosphotransferase (glucosyltransferase), which catalyzes the transfer of alpha Glc-1-P from UDP-Glc to mannose-containing oligosaccharides on acceptor glycoproteins. The same endogenous acceptor glycoproteins are labeled by the glucosyltransferase using [beta-32P]UDP-Glc and (beta-35S)UDP-Glc. However, in liver homogenates, incorporation from [beta-32P]UDP-Glc ceases to increase after about 4 min of incubation, while incorporation from (beta-35S)UDP-Glc persists for at least 1 h. This difference is due to an approx. 10-fold slower hydrolytic rate for the phosphorothioate analogue than for the parent compound, a finding similar to previous work showing that a variety of nucleases and phosphodiesterases are less efficient in cleaving phosphorothioate DNA than the native polymer. 相似文献

Isozymes of UGPase with unique catalytic properties were purified from the cold-induced-sweetening (CIS) resistant cultivar Snowden (Solanum tuberosum). Two distinct peaks of UGPase activity were obtained when protein extracts were subjected to anion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel. Polypeptides in the first eluted fraction (A-I) were ionically similar to the UGPase isozyme UGP3 previously purified and characterized from the cold-sweetening sensitive cultivar Norchip (Sowokinos et al. 1993, Plant Physiol 101: 1073-1080). Seventy-two percent of the total endogenous UGPase activity in Snowden (cv.) tubers, however, was found in a more basic protein fraction (A-II) that is not found in the Norchip cultivar. This study reports on the physicochemical and kinetic properties of these new polypeptides that demonstrate UGPase activity. The reaction in the direction of UDP-Glc synthesis was specific for the substrates Glc-1-P and UTP and there was an absolute requirement for Mg2+ ions. The catalytic properties of UGP5 were markedly different from UGPase isozymes previously described in terms of (1) affinity for the substrate Glc-1-P, (2) pH optimum, (3) maximum reaction velocity and (4) sensitivity to product inhibition with UDP-Glc. Chi-square analysis of fifty-four genetically diverse potato lines revealed that resistance to CIS was highly correlated with the presence of the A-II isozymes of UGPase. The kinetic properties of these unique forms of UGPase may underlie, in part, a tuber's ability to resist sweetening in the cold. 相似文献

Galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (EC 2.7.7.10), responsible for the conversion of galactose-1-phosphate (Gal-1-P) to uridine diphosphate galactose (UDPgal) was examined in fruit peduncles of Cucumis sativus L. Two uridyltransferases (pyrophosphorylases), from I and II, were partially purified and resolved on a diethylamino-ethyl-cellulose column. Form I can utilize glucose-1-phosphate (Glc-1-P), while form II can utilize either Gal-1-P or Glc-1-P, with a preference for Gal-1-P. Form I was more heat stable than form II. Both Glc-1-P and Gal-1-P activities of form II were inactivated at the same rate by heating. The finding of a uridyltransferase with preference for Gal-1-P indicates that cucumber may have a Gal-1-P uridyltransferase (pyrophosphorylase) pathway for the catabolism of stachyose in the peduncles. The absence of the enzyme UDP-glucose-hexose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (EC 2.7.7.12) in this tissue rules out catabolism by the classical Leloir pathway. The incorporation of carbon from UDPglc into Glc-1-P as opposed to sucrose may be regulated by the activities of the uridyltransferases. Pyrophosphate, in the same concentration range, inhibits UDP-gal formation (Ki=0.58±0.10 mM) and stimulates Glc-1-P formation. The ratio of units of pyrophosphatase to units of Gal-1-P uridyltransferase was higher in peduncles from growing fruit than from unpollinated fruit. Modulation of carbon partitioning through a uridyltransferase pathway may be a factor controlling growth of the cucumber fruit.Abbreviations Gal-1-P

Effects of acute inhibition of glucose-6-phosphatase activity by the chlorogenic acid derivative S4048 on hepatic carbohydrate fluxes were examined in isolated rat hepatocytes and in vivo in rats. Fluxes were calculated using tracer dilution techniques and mass isotopomer distribution analysis in plasma glucose and urinary paracetamol-glucuronide after infusion of [U-(13)C]glucose, [2-(13)C]glycerol, [1-(2)H]galactose, and paracetamol. In hepatocytes, glucose-6-phosphate (Glc-6-P) content, net glycogen synthesis, and lactate production from glucose and dihydroxyacetone increased strongly in the presence of S4048 (10 microm). In livers of S4048-treated rats (0.5 mg kg(-1)min(-)); 8 h) Glc-6-P content increased strongly (+440%), and massive glycogen accumulation (+1260%) was observed in periportal areas. Total glucose production was diminished by 50%. The gluconeogenic flux to Glc-6-P was unaffected (i.e. 33.3 +/- 2.0 versus 33.2 +/- 2.9 micromol kg(-1)min(-1)in control and S4048-treated rats, respectively). Newly synthesized Glc-6-P was redistributed from glucose production (62 +/- 1 versus 38 +/- 1%; p < 0.001) to glycogen synthesis (35 +/- 5% versus 65 +/- 5%; p < 0.005) by S4048. This was associated with a strong inhibition (-82%) of the flux through glucokinase and an increase (+83%) of the flux through glycogen synthase, while the flux through glycogen phosphorylase remained unaffected. In livers from S4048-treated rats, mRNA levels of genes encoding Glc-6-P hydrolase (approximately 9-fold), Glc-6-P translocase (approximately 4-fold), glycogen synthase (approximately 7-fold) and L-type pyruvate kinase (approximately 4-fold) were increased, whereas glucokinase expression was almost abolished. In accordance with unaltered gluconeogenic flux, expression of the gene encoding phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase was unaffected in the S4048-treated rats. Thus, acute inhibition of glucose-6-phosphatase activity by S4048 elicited 1) a repartitioning of newly synthesized Glc-6-P from glucose production into glycogen synthesis without affecting the gluconeogenic flux to Glc-6-P and 2) a cellular response aimed at maintaining cellular Glc-6-P homeostasis. 相似文献

CTP synthetase from Escherichia coli catalyzes exchange of 18O from the beta gamma-bridge position of [gamma-18O4] ATP into the beta-nonbridge position. This positional isotope exchange occurs in the presence of UTP and MgCl2 but in the absence of NH3. The enzyme also has an ATPase activity in the presence of UTP that occurs under conditions that are identical to those used in the positional isotope exchange experiments. These data provide evidence for the stepwise nature of the reactions catalyzed by CTP synthetase with the initial step involving phosphorylation of UTP by ATP. The relative rate of the isotope exchange reaction is approximately 3 times faster than the ATPase reaction, but the isotope exchange rate is approximately 3% of the overall rate in the presence of NH3. These results are consistent with the ATPase reaction involving attack of water on the phosphorylated intermediate (4-phospho-UTP). The positional isotope exchange reaction is independent of the UTP concentration above saturating levels of UTP demonstrating that the order of addition of substrates is UTP followed by ATP and then NH3. 相似文献

Difference spectroscopic investigations on the interaction of brain hexokinase with glucose and glucose 6-phosphate (Glc-6-P) show that the binary complexes E-glucose and E-Glc-6-P give very similar UV difference spectra. However, the spectrum of the ternary E-glucose-Glc-6-P complex differs markedly from the spectra of the binary complexes, but resembles that produced by the E-glucose-Pi complex. Direct binding studies of the interaction of Glc-6-P with brain hexokinase detect only a single high-affinity binding site for Glc-6-P (KD = 2.8 microM). In the ternary E-glucose-Glc-6-P complex, Glc-6-P has a much higher affinity for the enzyme (KD = 0.9 microM) and a single binding site. Ribose 5-phosphate displaces Glc-6-P from E-glucose-Glc-6-P only, but not from E-Glc-6-P complex. It also fails to displace glucose from E-glucose and E-glucose-Glc-6-P complexes. Scatchard plots of the binding of glucose to brain hexokinase reveal only a single binding site but show distinct evidence of positive cooperativity, which is abolished by Glc-6-P and Pi. These ligands, as well as ribose 5-phosphate, substantially increase the binding affinity of glucose for the enzyme. The spectral evidence, as well as the interactive nature of the sites binding glucose and phosphate-bearing ligands, lead us to conclude that an allosteric site for Glc-6-P of physiological relevance occurs on the enzyme only in the presence of glucose, as a common locus where Glc-6-P, Pi, and ribose 5-phosphate bind. In the absence of glucose, Glc-6-P binds to the enzyme at its active site with high affinity. We also discuss the possibility that, in the absence of glucose, Glc-6-P may still bind to the allosteric site, but with very low affinity, as has been observed in studies on the reverse hexokinase reaction. 相似文献

The enzyme phosphoglucomutase plays a key role in cellular metabolism by virtue of its ability to interconvert Glc-1-P and Glc-6-P. It was recently shown that a yeast strain lacking the major isoform of phosphoglucomutase (pgm2Delta) accumulates a high level of Glc-1-P and exhibits several phenotypes related to altered Ca(2+) homeostasis when d-galactose is utilized as the carbon source (Fu, L., Miseta, A., Hunton, D., Marchase, R. B., and Bedwell, D. M. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 5431-5440). These phenotypes include increased Ca(2+) uptake and accumulation and sensitivity to high environmental Ca(2+) levels. In the present study, we overproduced the enzyme UDP-Glc pyrophosphorylase to test whether the overproduction of a downstream metabolite produced from Glc-1-P can also mediate changes in Ca(2+) homeostasis. We found that overproduction of UDP-Glc did not cause any alterations in Ca(2+) uptake or accumulation. We also examined whether Glc-6-P can influence cellular Ca(2+) homeostasis. A yeast strain lacking the beta-subunit of phosphofructokinase (pfk2Delta) accumulates a high level of Glc-6-P (Huang, D., Wilson, W. A., and Roach, P. J. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 22495-22501). We found that this increase in Glc-6-P led to a 1.5-2-fold increase in total cellular Ca(2+). We also found that the pgm2Delta/pfk2Delta strain, which accumulated high levels of both Glc-6-P and Glc-1-P, no longer exhibited the Ca(2+)-related phenotypes associated with high Glc-1-P levels in the pgm2Delta mutant. These results provide strong evidence that cellular Ca(2+) homeostasis is coupled to the relative levels of Glc-6-P and Glc-1-P in yeast. 相似文献

Acyl-CoA esters inhibit the plastidial glucose 6-phosphate (Glc-6-P) transporter and the adenylate transporter; the IC(50) values for the inhibition by oleoyl-CoA (18:1-CoA) are 200-400 nM and 1-2 microM respectively. The inhibition of either of these processes significantly reduces the flux of carbon from Glc-6-P or from acetate into long-chain fatty acids. The effect is dependent on the acyl chain length, e.g. lauryl-CoA is less inhibitory than oleoyl-CoA, causing 34 and 68% inhibition respectively of Glc-6-P uptake after 30 s. The inhibition of Glc-6-P and ATP transport is alleviated by addition of an equivalent concentration of acyl-CoA-binding protein (ACBP) or BSA. Acyl-CoAs do not inhibit pyruvate or glucose transporters. The endogenous concentrations of acyl-CoAs and ACBP are similar during embryo maturation. 相似文献

1. Glycogen synthase I (activity ratio approximately equal to 1) was purified over 10,000-fold from rabbit renal medulla. 2. The purified synthase was stimulated about 1.5-fold by glucose-6-P and other divalent anions when assayed at pH 7.7 and near saturating UDPGlc. When assayed at physiological UDPGlc (75-100 microM), the enzyme was stimulated about 5-fold by glucose-6-P. 3. At pH 7.7 the activation by either Na2SO4 or glucose-6-P was due to an increase in V and a decrease in S0.5 for UDPGlc. At pH. 6.9, activation was due to a decrease in S0.5. 4. At low UDPGlc, synthase activity was inhibited by adenine nucleotides and the inhibition was partially relieved by glucose-6-P, UDP inhibited in a competitive manner with respect to UDPGlc. 5. These results suggest that the activity of renal medullary synthase I may be regulated by cellular metabolites. 相似文献
