Carbamyl-P:glucose and PPi:glucose phosphotransferase, but not inorganic pyrophosphatase, activities of the hepatic microsomal glucose-6-phosphatase system demonstrate a time-dependent lag in product production with 1 mM phosphate substrate. Glucose-6-P phosphohydrolase shows a similar behavior with [glucose-6-P] less than or equal to 0.10 mM, but inorganic pyrophosphatase activity does not even at the 0.05 or 0.02 mM level. The hysteretic behavior is abolished when the structural integrity of the microsomes is destroyed by detergent treatment. Calculations indicate that an intramicrosomal glucose-6-P concentration of between 20 and 40 microM must be achieved, whether in response to exogenously added glucose-6-P or via intramicrosomal synthesis by carbamyl-P:glucose or PPi:glucose phosphotransferase activity, before the maximally active form of the enzyme system is achieved. It is suggested that translocase T1, the transport component of the glucose-6-phosphatase system specific for glucose-6-P, is the target for activation by these critical intramicrosomal concentrations of glucose-6-P. 相似文献

Radiation inactivation analysis was utilized to estimate the sizes of the units catalyzing the various activities of hepatic microsomal glucose-6-phosphatase. This technique revealed that the target molecular weights for mannose-6-P phosphohydrolase, glucose-6-P phosphohydrolase, and carbamyl-P:glucose phosphotransferase activities were all about Mr 75,000. These results are consistent with the widely held view that all of these activities are catalyzed by the same protein or proteins. Certain observations indicate that the molecular organization of microsomal glucose-6-phosphatase is better described by the conformational hypothesis which envisions the enzyme as a single covalent structure rather than by the substrate transport model which requires the participation of several physically separate polypeptides. These include the findings: 1) that the target sizes for glucose-6-P phosphohydrolase and carbamyl-P:glucose phosphotransferase activities were not larger than that for mannose-6-P phosphohydrolase in intact microsomes and 2) that the target size for glucose-6-P phosphohydrolase in disrupted microsomes was not less than that observed in intact microsomes. These findings are most consistent with a model for glucose-6-phosphatase of a single polypeptide or a disulfide-linked dimer which spans the endoplasmic reticulum with the various activities of this multifunctional enzyme residing in distinct protein domains. 相似文献

The anomeric form of glucose produced by glucose-6-phosphatase was studied using an apparatus that specifically measures beta-D-glucose. The time course of beta-D-glucose formation from glucose-6-P by glucose-6-phosphatase is essentially linear. In the presence of mutarotase, this rate is reduced to 70% of that obtained in the absence of mutarotase. When detergent treated microsomes were used, the rate of beta-D-glucose formation is unaffected by mutarotase. These results suggest that only beta-anomer of glucose is produced by microsomal glucose-6-phosphatase and this specificity is determined by translocase for glucose-6-P or glucose. It was also demonstrated that alpha-D-glucose is the substrate for glucokinase. 相似文献

Copper deficiency has been reported to cause glucose intolerance in rats by interfering with normal glucose utilization. Accordingly, copper deficiency was produced in rats to study its effects on glucose-6-P phosphohydrolase and carbamyl-P: glucose phosphotransferase activities of hepatic glucose-6-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.9), a major enzyme involved in maintaining glucose homeostasis. When measured in homogenates treated with deoxycholate, total glucose-6-P phosphohydrolase was 23% lower and total carbamyl-P:glucose phosphotransferase was 17% lower in copper-deficient rats compared to controls. Latency, or that portion of total activity that is not manifest unless the intact membranous components are disrupted with deoxycholate also was lower in copper-deficient rats. Glucose-6-P phosphohydrolase was 5% latent in copper-deficient rats compared to 24% in controls and carbamyl-P : glucose phosphotransferase was 55% latent in copper-deficient rats compared to 65% in controls. The decrease in latency appears to compensate for the lower total enzyme activities in such a manner as to allow the net expression of these activities in the intact membranous components of the homogenate to remain unaltered by copper deficiency. It thus appears unlikely that copper deficiency affects glucose homeostasis in vivo by altering the net rate of glucose-6-P hydrolysis or synthesis by glucose-6-phosphatase. These observations are interpreted on the basis of a multicomponent glucose-6-phosphatase system in which the total enzyme activity expressed in intact membranous preparation is limited by substrate specific translocases that transport substrate to the membrane-bound catalytic unit. A decrease in latency can then be interpreted as a functional increase in translocase activity and may constitute a compensating mechanism for maintaining constant glucose homeostasis when glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic activity is depressed as it is in copper deficiency. 相似文献

The inhibition patterns of inorganic phosphate (Pi) on sucrose phosphate synthase activity in the presence and absence of the allosteric activator glucose-6-P was studied, as well as the effects of phosphoglucoisomerase on fructose-6-P saturation kinetics with and without Pi. In the presence of 5 millimolar glucose-6-P, Pi was a partial competitive inhibitor with respect to both substrates, fructose-6-P and uridine diphosphate glucose. In the absence of glucose-6-P, the inhibition patterns were more complex, apparently because of the interaction of Pi at the activation site as well as the catalytic site. In addition, substrate activation by uridine diphosphate glucose was observed in the absence of effectors. The results suggested that Pi antagonizes glucose-6-P activation of sucrose phosphate synthase by competing with the activator for binding to the modifier site.
The fructose-6-P saturation kinetics were hyperbolic in the absence of phosphoglucoisomerase activity, but became sigmoidal by the addition of excess phosphoglucoisomerase. The sigmoidicity persisted in the presence of Pi, but sucrose phosphate synthase activity was decreased. The apparent sigmoidal response may represent the physiological response of sucrose phosphate synthase to a change in hexose-P concentration because sucrose phosphate synthase operates in the cytosol in the presence of high activities of phosphoglucoisomerase. Thus, the enzymic production of an activator from a substrate represents a unique mechanism for generating sigmoidal enzyme kinetics.

The kinetics of rat liver glucose-6-phosphatase (D-glucose-6-phosphate phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.9) were studied with intact and detergent-disrupted microsomes from normal and diabetic rats. Glucose-6-P concentrations employed (12 microM to 1.0 mM) spanned the physiologic range. With the enzyme of intact microsomes from both groups, plots of v versus [glucose-6-P] were sigmoid. Hanes plots (i.e. [glucose-6-P]/v versus [glucose-6-P]) were biphasic (concave upwards). A Hill coefficient of 1.45 was determined with substrate concentrations between 12 and 133 microM. Disruption of microsomal integrity abolished these departures from classic kinetic behavior, indicating that sigmoidicity may result from cooperative interaction of glucose-6-P with the glucose-6-phosphatase system at the substrate translocase specific for glucose-6-P. With the enzyme from normal rats the [glucose-6-P] at which the enzyme was maximally sensitive to variations in [glucose-6-P] (which we term "Smax"), determined from plots of dv/d [glucose-6-P] versus [glucose-6-P], was in the physiologic range. The Smax of 0.13 mM corresponded well with the normal steady-state hepatic [glucose-6-P] of 0.16 mM, consistent with glucose-6-phosphatase's function as a regulatory enzyme. With the diabetic enzyme, in contrast, values were 0.30 and 0.07 mM for the Smax and steady-state level, respectively. We suggest that the decreasing sensitivity of glucose-6-phosphatase activity to progressively diminishing glucose-6-P concentration, inherent in its sigmoid kinetics, constitutes a mechanism for the preservation of a residual pool of glucose-6-P for other hepatic metabolic functions in the presence of elevated concentrations of glucose-6-phosphatase such as in diabetes. 相似文献

1. Starvation increases the activity of cytosolic P-enolpyruvate carboxkinase in rabbit liver some 4-5 fold but does not alter the activities of mitochondrial P-enolpyruvate carboxykinase, fructose-1,6-diphosphatase or glucose-6-phosphatase.2. Alloxan-induced diabetes increases the activities of cytosolic P-enolpyruvate carboxykinase, fructose-1,6-diphosphatase and glucose-6-phosphatase approx. 6-, 2- and 2-fold, respectively. Again the activity of mitochondrial P-enolpyruvate carboxykinase is not altered. 3. Administration of mannoheptulose rapidly increases blood glucose levels and also causes a significant increase in cytosolic P-enolpyruvate carboyxkinase activity within 4 h. The activities of mitochondrial P-enolpyruvate carboxykinase, fructose-1,6-diphosphatase and glucose-6-phosphatase are not affected. 4. Administration of hydrocortisone also increases blood glucose levels and the activities of cytosolic P-enolpyruvate carboxykinase and glucose-6-phosphatase are significantly increased within 12h. Again, mitochondrial P-enolpyruvate carboxykinase and fructose-1,6-diphosphatase activities remain unaffected. 5. The observations that (A) the activity of cytosolic P-enolpyruvate carboxykinase responds to more situations conducive to gluconeogenesis than do the activities of mitochondrial P-enolpyruvate carboxykinase, fructose-1,6-diphosphatase and glucose-6-phosphatase, and (B) cytosolic P-enolpyruvate carboxykinase activity is rapidly adaptive under appropriate circumstances, suggests that this particular enzyme's activity plays an important role in the regulation of gluconeogenesis in rabbits. 相似文献

Indole glucosinolates, present in cruciferous vegetables have been investigated for their putative pharmacological properties. The current study was designed to analyse whether the treatment of the indole glucosinolates—indole-3-carbinol (I3C) and its metabolite 3,3′-diindolylmethane (DIM) could alter the carbohydrate metabolism in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced C57BL/6J mice. The plasma glucose, insulin, haemoglobin (Hb), glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c), glycogen and the activities of glycolytic enzyme (hexokinase), hepatic shunt enzyme (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase), gluconeogenic enzymes (glucose-6-phosphatase and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase) were analysed in liver and kidney of the treated and HFD mice. Histopathological examination of liver and pancreases were also carried out. The HFD mice show increased glucose, insulin and HbA1c and decreased Hb and glycogen levels. The elevated activity of glucose-6-phosphatase and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase and subsequent decline in the activity of glucokinase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase were seen in HFD mice. Among treatment groups, the mice administered with I3C and DIM, DIM shows decreased glucose, insulin and HbA1c and increased Hb and glycogen content in liver when compared to I3C, which was comparable with the standard drug metformin. The similar result was also obtained in case of carbohydrate metabolism enzymes; treatment with DIM positively regulates carbohydrate metabolic enzymes by inducing the activity of glucokinase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and suppressing the activity of glucose-6-phosphatase and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase when compared to I3C, which were also supported by our histopathological observations. 相似文献

The factors regulating glucose-6-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.9) activity and substrate specificity in hepatic microsomes were studied by determining the rate-limiting reaction for the hydrolysis of glucose-6-P, and by examining the effect of detergent activation on phosphotransferase activity. Examination of the pre-steady state kinetics of glucose-6-phosphatase revealed that the steady state rate is determined by the rate of hydrolysis of the enzyme-P intermediate. Treatment of the enzyme with detergent does not alter the extent of the rapid release of glucose per mg of protein, but activates the steady state rate of catalytic turnover. Specificity of the enzyme was evaluated by comparing the effects of mannose and glucose as phosphate acceptors in the phosphotransferase reaction catalyzed by glucose-6-phosphatase. Untreated glucose-6-phosphatase discriminates against mannose as compared with glucose in that mannose and glucose bind to the enzyme-P intermediate of untreated enzyme, but mannose is not an acceptor of Pi. Mannose is an acceptor, however, after treatment of microsomes with detergent. These data cannot be explained in terms of the currently accepted "compartmentation" model for the regulation of glucose-6-phosphatase. The detergent-induced changes in kinetic properties appear to reflect alterations in the intrinsic characteristics of glucose-6-phosphatase, which could result from interaction with its membrane environment. 相似文献

Rapid kinetics of both glucose-6-P uptake and hydrolysis in fasted rat liver microsomes were investigated with a recently developed fast-sampling, rapid-filtration apparatus. Experiments were confronted with both the substrate transport and conformational models currently proposed for the glucose-6-phosphatase system. Accumulation in microsomes of 14C products from [U-14C]glucose-6-P followed biexponential kinetics. From the inside to outside product concentrations, it could be inferred that mostly glucose should accumulate inside the vesicles. While biexponential kinetics are compatible with the mathematical predictions of a simplified substrate transport model, the latter fails in explaining the "burst" in total glucose production over a similar time scale to that used for the uptake measurements. Since the initial rate of the burst phase in untreated microsomes exactly matched the steady-state rate of glucose production in detergent-treated vesicles, it can be definitely concluded that the substrate transport model does not describe adequately our results. While the conformational model accounts for both the burst of glucose production and the kinetics of glucose accumulation into the vesicles, it cannot explain the burst in 32Pi production from [32P]glucose-6-P measured under the same conditions. Since the amplitude of the observed bursts is not compatible with a presteady state in enzyme activity, we propose that a hysteretic transition best explains our results in both untreated and permeabilized microsomes, thus providing a new rationale to understand the molecular mechanism of the glucose-6-phosphatase system. 相似文献

The kinetics of rat liver glucose-6-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.9) were studied in intact and detergent-disrupted microsomes from normal and diabetic rats at pH 7.0 using two buffer systems (50 mM Tris-cacodylate and 50 mM 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid) and glucose-6-P varied from 20 microM to 10 mM. Identical data were obtained when the phosphohydrolase activity was quantified by a colorimetric determination of Pi or by measuring 32Pi formed during incubations with [32P]glucose-6-P. In every instance the initial rate data displayed excellent concordance with that expected for a reaction obeying Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The present findings agree with recently reported results of Traxinger and Nordlie (Traxinger, R. R., and Nordlie, R. C. 1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 10015-10019) that glucose-6-phosphatase activity in intact microsomes exhibits hyperbolic kinetics at concentrations of glucose-6-P above 133 microM, but fail to confirm their finding of sigmoid kinetics at substrate concentrations below 133 microM. We conclude that glucose-6-P hydrolysis conforms to a hyperbolic function at concentrations of glucose-6-P existing in livers of normal and diabetic rats in vivo. 相似文献

To investigate the sites of the free fatty acid (FFA) effects to increase basal hepatic glucose production and to impair hepatic insulin action, we performed 2-h and 7-h Intralipid + heparin (IH) and saline infusions in the basal fasting state and during hyperinsulinemic clamps in overnight-fasted rats. We measured endogenous glucose production (EGP), total glucose output (TGO, the flux through glucose-6-phosphatase), glucose cycling (GC, index of flux through glucokinase = TGO - EGP), hepatic glucose 6-phosphate (G-6-P) content, and hepatic glucose-6-phosphatase and glucokinase activities. Plasma FFA levels were elevated about threefold by IH. In the basal state, IH increased TGO, in vivo glucose-6-phosphatase activity (TGO/G-6-P), and EGP (P < 0.001). During the clamp compared with the basal experiments, 2-h insulin infusion increased GC and in vivo glucokinase activity (GC/TGO; P < 0.05) and suppressed EGP (P < 0.05) but failed to significantly affect TGO and in vivo glucose-6-phosphatase activity. IH decreased the ability of insulin to increase GC and in vivo glucokinase activity (P < 0.01), and at 7 h, it also decreased the ability of insulin to suppress EGP (P < 0.001). G-6-P content was comparable in all groups. In vivo glucose-6-phosphatase and glucokinase activities did not correspond to their in vitro activities as determined in liver tissue, suggesting that stable changes in enzyme activity were not responsible for the FFA effects. The data suggest that, in overnight-fasted rats, FFA increased basal EGP and induced hepatic insulin resistance at different sites. 1) FFA increased basal EGP through an increase in TGO and in vivo glucose-6-phosphatase activity, presumably due to a stimulatory allosteric effect of fatty acyl-CoA on glucose-6-phosphatase. 2) FFA induced hepatic insulin resistance (decreased the ability of insulin to suppress EGP) through an impairment of insulin's ability to increase GC and in vivo glucokinase activity, presumably due to an inhibitory allosteric effect of fatty acyl-CoA on glucokinase and/or an impairment in glucokinase translocation. 相似文献

The effect of a high dose of cortisol (200 mg kg(-1) body mass) on juvenile carp was investigated. The activity of glucose-6-phosphatase in liver and of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase in liver, kidney and muscle, the serum glucose and fructose-2,6-bisphosphate concentration as well as the serum concentration of the injected hormone were measured after 24, 72 and 216 h after intraperitoneal cortisol injection. The activities of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase in liver and kidney and glucose-6-phosphatase in liver were elevated in comparison with the control, while the fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase activity in the muscle tissue was unchanged. After cortisol injection, the serum glucose level was nearly two times higher after 24 and 72 h and was still 50% higher after 216 h compared with controls. In contrast, the liver fructose-2,6-bisphosphate concentration was unchanged after 24 h. More than two times higher fructose-2,6-bisphosphate concentration was observed in liver after 72 h and it was still elevated after 216 h after the cortisol injection. 相似文献

Phosphohexose isomerase from amyloplasts of immature wheat endosperm was purified 133-fold. The enzyme had a molecular weight of 130 kDa and maximum activity at pH 8.6. It showed normal hyperbolic kinetics for both fructose-6-P and glucose-6-P with Km of 0.12 mM and 0.44 mM, respectively. pH had a great influence on Km for fructose-6-P. Using glucose-6-P as the substrate, the equilibrium was reached at 23% fructose-6-P and 77% glucose-6-P and an equilibrium constant of about 3.0. The delta F calculated from the apparent equilibrium constant was +742 cal.mol-1. The activation energy calculated from the Arrhenius plot was 7450 cal.mol-1. None of the sulphydryl reagents at 2.5 mM concentration inactivated the enzyme. The enzyme was competitively inhibited by 6-phosphogluconate, ribose-5-P and ribulose-5-P with Ki values of 0.18, 0.14, and 0.13 mM, respectively. The probable role of the enzyme in starch biosynthesis in amyloplasts is discussed. 相似文献

The nonglycolytic, anaerobic organism Veillonella parvula M4 has been shown to contain an active pyruvate kinase. The enzyme was purified 126-fold and was shown by disc-gel electrophoresis to contain only two faint contaminating bands. The purified enzyme had a pH optimum of 7.0 in the forward direction and exhibited sigmoidal kinetics at varying concentrations o-f phosphoenol pyruvate (PEP), adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP), and Mg-2+ ions with S0.5 values of 1.5, 2.0, and 2.4 mM, respectively. Substrate inhibition was observed above 4 m PEP. Hill plots gave slope values (n) of 4.4 (PEP), 2.8 (adenosine 5'-diphosphate), and 2.0 (Mg-2+), indicating a high degree of cooperativity. The enzyme was inhibited non-competitively by adenosine 5'-triphosphate (Ki = 3.4 mM), and this inhibition was only slightly affected by increasing concentration of Mg-2+ ions to 30 mM. Competitive inhibition was observed with 3-phosphoglycerate, malate, and 2,3-diphosphoglycerate but only at higher inhibitor concentrations. The enzyme was activated by glucose-6-phosphate (P), fructose-6-P, fructose-1,6-diphosphate (P2), dihydroxyacetone-P, and AMP; the Hill coefficients were 2.2, 1.8, 1.5, 2.1, and 2.0, respectively. The presence of each these metabolites caused substrate velocity curves to change from sigmoidal to hyperbolic curves, and each was accompanied by an increase in the maximum activity, e.g., AMP greater than fructose-1,6-P2 greater than dihydroxyacetone-P greater than glucose-6-P greater than fructose-6-P. The activation constants for fructose-1,6-P2, AMP, and glucose-6-P were 0.3, 1.1, and 5.3 mM, respectively. The effect of 5 mM fructose-1,6-P2 was significantly different from the other compounds in that this metabolite was inhibitory between 1.2 and 3 mM PEP. Above this concentration, fructose-1,6-P2 activated the enzyme and abolished substrate inhibition by PEP. The enzyme was not affected by glucose, glyceraldehyde-3-P, 2-phosphoglycerate, lactate, malate, fumerate, succinate, and cyclic AMP. The results suggest that the pyruvate kinase from V. parvula M4 plays a central role in the control of gluconeogenesis in this organism by regulating the concentration of PEP. 相似文献

The effects of treating nitrogen-starved cultures of W4597 (K) with various doses of 2,4-dinitrophenol include increases in the rates of glucose utilization, decreases in ATP and glucose-6-P and maintenance of the level of fructose-1, 6-P2. A quantitative correlation was observed between the increases in the rates of glucose utilization and decreases in glucose-6-P in agreement with the observation made that glucose-6-P inhibits glucose transport in . A quantitative correlation was also observed between glucose-6-P and ATP indicating that the fall in glucose-6-P is effected by the fall in ATP which indirectly signals increased glucose utilization and increased ATP production. 相似文献

Liver glucose-6-phosphatase activity is modulated by physiological intracellular Ca2+ concentrations 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
G van de Werve 《The Journal of biological chemistry》1989,264(11):6033-6036
The effect of varying concentrations of free Ca2+ on the formation of Pi from mannose-6-P or of Pi and [U-14C]glucose from [U-14C]glucose-6-P was investigated in isolated fasted rat hepatocytes made permeable by freezing and in liver microsomes. Free Ca2+ concentration was adjusted by the use of Ca-EGTA buffers. In permeabilized cells, glucose-6-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.9) activity was inhibited up to 50% and in intact microsomes up to 70% by increasing free Ca2+ concentrations from 0.01 to 10 microM. The inhibition was reversible and competitive with respect to glucose-6-P. Treatment of microsomes with 0.4% deoxycholate exposed 90% of latent mannose-6-phosphatase activity which was insensitive to Ca2+. The results indicate that Ca2+ affects the glucose-6-P translocase rather than the phosphohydrolase component. It is concluded that the glucose-6-phosphatase system is modulated by changes in Ca2+ concentrations in the range of those occurring in the liver cell upon hormonal stimulation. 相似文献

The isomerase activity of the C-terminal fructose-6P binding domain (residues 241-608) of glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase from Escherichia coli has been studied. The equilibrium constant of the C-terminal domain k(eq) ([glucose-6P]/[fructose-6-P]) = 5.0. A non-competitive product inhibition of the isomerase activity by the reaction product glucose-6-P has been detected. The existence of more than one binding and reaction sites for the substrate fructose-6P on the molecule of glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase can be expected. The fructose-6P binding domain possibly includes a regulatory site, different from the catalytic center of the enzyme. 相似文献
