A thermodynamic linked-function analysis is presented of the interactions of MgATP and fructose 6-phosphate (Fru-6-P) with phosphofructokinase (PFK) from Escherichia coli in the absence of allosteric effectors. MgATP and Fru-6-P are shown to bind in random fashion by product inhibition of the back-reaction as well as by the kinetically competent binding of each ligand individually as monitored by the consequent changes in the intrinsic fluorescence of E. coli PFK. When Fru-6-P is saturating, the dissociation of MgATP is sufficiently slow that it cannot achieve a binding equilibrium in the steady state, causing the observed Km (49 microM) to significantly exceed the Kd (1.7 microM) deduced from a thermodynamic linkage analysis. The following features distinguish the interactions of MgATP and Fru-6-P with E. coli PFK: MgATP and Fru-6-P antagonize each other's binding to the enzyme in a saturable manner with an overall apparent coupling free energy equal to +2.5 kcal/mol at 25 degrees C; MgATP induces positive cooperativity in the Fru-6-P binding profile, with the Hill coefficient calculated from the Fru-6-P binding curves reaching a maximum of 3.6 when MgATP is saturating; and MgATP exhibits substrate inhibition at low concentrations of Fru-6-P. Simulations based upon the rate equation pertaining to a two-active-site, two-substrate dimer indicate that these features can all result from two independent couplings: an antagonistic MgATP-Fru-6-P coupling extending at least in part between active sites and a MgATP-induced Fru-6-P-Fru-6-P coupling.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The concentration of fructose 6-phosphate required to produce half-maximal velocity of rat liver phosphofructokinase at pH 9 (Ka) has been measured at 110 different combinations of MgATP and fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6-BP) concentrations spanning the range 0.1-100 mM and 0.003-100 microM, respectively. The data have been evaluated by nonlinear regression to an equation resulting from a linked-function analysis of an enzyme capable of binding three ligands simultaneously at separate sites. In addition, the data have been fit to equations, derived from the linked-function expression, that would result if various combinations of antagonistic ligands were unable to bind to the enzyme simultaneously, even at high concentration, either because they compete for a single binding site or because they bind exclusively to different conformational forms of the enzyme. The complete linked-function equation is able to predict the Ka for rat liver phosphofructokinase as a function of any Fru-2,6-BP and/or MgATP concentration significantly better than any of the alternatives examined, particularly at high concentrations of one or both modifier ligands. The free energy couplings between all three possible pairs of ligands are of quite moderate magnitude, especially when the multiplicity of binding sites for each ligand that actually exists on the functional enzyme is considered. Therefore, we conclude that any explanation of the action of Fru-2,6-BP and MgATP by a model more elaborate than the simple linked-function case considered herein cannot be simplified by assuming that the properties of rat liver phosphofructokinase result from an equilibrium of limiting conformational states that exhibit exclusive binding properties. 相似文献

The relationship between fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6-BP) activation and MgATP inhibition of rat liver phosphofructokinase has been comprehensively evaluated at pH 7. When either ligand is varied at a fixed concentration of the other, its influence on the concentration of fructose 6-phosphate (Fru-6-P) required to produce half-maximal velocity, Ka, is usually well described by the same simple, single-modifier linkage expression that described the actions of these ligands at pH 9. However, the effects of both ligands together cannot be described by the same overall linkage relationship that described their actions at pH 9. Specifically, despite an overall antagonistic relationship between the binding of MgATP and that of Fru-2,6-BP, very low concentrations of Fru-2,6-BP appear to facilitate the binding of MgATP to an appreciable degree. Also, MgATP at high concentration appears to inhibit the binding of Fru-2,6-BP to a significantly greater extent than its actions at lower concentration would predict. These additional features of MgATP-Fru-2,6-BP interaction have been incorporated into an overall linkage expression describing the actions of both MgATP and Fru-2,6-BP on Ka for Fru-6-P. The best fit parameters predict the data to within an average standard error of +/- 21%. 相似文献

The influence that fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6-BP) has on the aggregation properties of rat liver phosphofructokinase has been studied by observing the fluorescence polarization of the enzyme covalently bound to the fluorescent probe pyrenebutyric acid. Fru-2,6-BP dramatically slows the dissociation of the high molecular weight aggregate forms of the enzyme when the enzyme is diluted to 3.2 micrograms/ml (4 X 10(-8) M subunits). Furthermore, Fru-2,6-BP is a strong promoter of reassociation to tetramer and larger forms if the enzyme has been previously allowed to dissociate to the dimer in its absence. Unlike many other positive effectors of liver phosphofructokinase, Fru-2,6-BP is also able to overcome the tendency of MgATP to promote tetramer formation and instead stabilize a very high degree of high molecular weight aggregate formation even in the presence of MgATP. The apparent affinity of liver phosphofructokinase for Fru-2,6-BP was measured by its ability to promote reassociation and compared to that for Fru-1,6-BP. The apparent dissociation constant for Fru-2,6-BP under these conditions is 36 microM, about 40-fold lower than the value of 1.4 mM measured for Fru-1,6-BP. Both ligands demonstrate synergism with the substrate Fru-6-P, which can lower the dissociation constant for Fru-2,6-BP 9-fold to 4 microM and that for Fru-1,6-BP 5-fold to 0.28 mM. These data are interpreted to suggest that influencing the aggregation state of rat liver phosphofructokinase may be one way in which Fru-2,6-BP achieves its effects on the enzyme in vivo. 相似文献

Phosphofructokinase from Escherichia coli (EcPFK) is a homotetramer with four active sites, which bind the substrates fructose-6-phosphate (Fru-6-P) and MgATP. In the presence of low concentrations of Fru-6-P, MgATP displays substrate inhibition. Previous proposals to explain this substrate inhibition have included both kinetic and allosteric mechanisms. We have isolated hybrid tetramers containing one wild type subunit and three mutated subunits (1:3). The mutated subunits contain mutations that decrease affinity for Fru-6-P (R243E) or MgATP (F76A/R77D/R82A) allowing us to systematically simplify the possible allosteric interactions between the two substrates. In the absence of a rate equation to explain the allosteric effects in a tetramer, the data have been compared to simulated data for an allosteric dimer. Since the apparent substrate inhibition caused by MgATP binding is not seen in hybrid tetramers with only a single native MgATP binding site, the proposed kinetic mechanism is not able to explain this phenomenon. The data presented are consistent with an allosteric antagonism between MgATP in one active site and Fru-6-P in a second active site. 相似文献

Using enzymatic assays and steady-state fluorescence emission, we performed a linkage analysis of the three-ligand interaction of fructose 6-phosphate (Fru-6-P), phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), and MgATP on E187A mutant Escherichia coli phosphofructokinase (PFK). PEP allosterically inhibits Fru-6-P binding to E. coli PFK. The magnitude of antagonism is 90-fold in the absence and 60-fold in the presence of a saturating concentration of MgATP [Johnson, J. J., and Reinhart, G. D. (1997) Biochemistry 36, 12814-12822]. Substituting an alanine for the glutamate at position 187, located in the allosteric site (i.e., mutant E187A), activates Fru-6-P binding and inhibits the maximal rate of enzyme turnover [Lau, F. T.-K., and Fersht, A. R. (1987) Nature 326, 811-812]. The allosteric action of PEP appears to depend on the presence of the cosubstrate MgATP. In the presence of a saturating concentration of MgATP, PEP enhances the binding of Fru-6-P to the enzyme by a modest 2-fold. Decreasing the concentration of MgATP mitigates the extent of activation. At MgATP concentrations approaching 25 microM, PEP becomes insensitive to the binding of Fru-6-P. At MgATP concentrations < 25 microM, PEP "crosses over" and becomes antagonistic toward substrate binding. The present study examines the role of Glu 187 at the allosteric site in the binding of Fru-6-P and offers a more complex explanation of the mechanism than that described by traditional allosteric mechanistic models. 相似文献

Reaction of the phosphofructokinase from Ascaris suum with the reagent, diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC), results in the loss of enzymatic activity. Treatment of the inactivated enzyme with hydroxylamine brings about the recovery of almost 80% of the original activity suggesting that the modified residues are histidines. Further evidence for the modification of histidines is that concomitant with the loss of activity, there is a change in A242 nm that corresponds to the derivatization of 5-6 histidines per subunit. There is no change in A278 nm during the derivatization process, thereby ruling out the modification of tyrosines by DEPC. Analyses of the first order inactivation rate constant for DEPC derivatization at different pH values resulted in the determination of a pKa of 6.4 +/- 0.1 for the group on the enzyme that reacts with DEPC. Derivatization of the enzyme with DEPC in the presence of fructose 6-phosphate (Fru-6-P) protected the enzyme against inactivation by 80%. ATP or MgATP gave no protection against DEPC inactivation. When the Fru-6-P-protected enzyme was further reacted with DEPC in the absence of Fru-6-P, a total of 2 histidines were modified per subunit, and the derivatization of one of these could be correlated with activity loss. When the phosphofructokinase that had been derivatized by DEPC in the presence of Fru-6-P was assayed, it was found that it no longer exhibited allosteric properties and appeared to be desensitized to ATP inhibition. This loss of ATP inhibition could be correlated with the modification of 2 histidines per subunit by DEPC. The first order rate constant for desensitization was determined at different pH values and a pKa value of 7.0 +/- 0.2 was obtained for the group(s) responsible for the desensitization. Regulatory studies with the desensitized enzyme revealed that the enzyme was not stimulated by AMP, NH4+, K+, phosphate, sulfate, or hexose bisphosphates. It is concluded that histidine may be involved both in the active site and the ATP inhibitory site of the ascarid phosphofructokinase. 相似文献

Shamouti phosphofructokinase (PFP) activation depends on the presence of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6-P2) in the glycolytic reaction. The effect of activation by Fru-2,6-P2 differs considerably, however, according to the buffer (pH 8.0) in which the reaction is performed: Ka = 2.77 +/- 0.3 nM in Hepes-NaOH and 7.75 +/- 1.49 nM in Tris-HCl. The presence of chloride ions (39 mM) in the Tris-HCl buffer inhibits PFP. Indeed, when using a Hepes-NaOH buffer and then adding 39 mM NaCl, Ka = 8.12 +/- 0.52 nM. The Ki for chloride ions is approximately 21.7 mM. In the gluconeogenic reaction, Shamouti PFP generally showed a high endogenous activity. Addition of Fru-2,6-P2 did not modify the velocity and the Vmax of the enzyme; however, its presence increased the affinity of the enzyme for Fru-1,6-P2 from 200 +/- 15.6 microM in absence of Fru-2,6-P2 to 89 +/- 10.3 microM in its presence (10 microM). In the presence of chloride (39 mM), the affinity for the substrate decreased with K(m) = 150 +/- 14 microM. The calculated Ki for chloride ions equals 56.9 mM. In both the glycolytic and the gluconeogenic reactions, Vmax is not affected; therefore, the inhibition mode of chloride is competitive. 相似文献

Human platelet 6-phosphofructokinase (EC 2.7.1.11) shows cooperativity towards Fru-6-P and is allosterically inhibited by high Mg-ATP2- concentrations. No relation could be demonstrated between the cooperativity towards Fru-6-P and the inhibition by Mg-ATP2-. Increasing the concentrations of Mg-ATP2- only raised the apparent Km values for Fru-6-P, but did not change the Hill constants. A possible formation of a Mg-ATP2--enzyme-Fru-6-P complex during catalysis was investigated. Our calculations suggest that such a ternary complex is indeed formed during the reaction. 相似文献

MgADP binding to the allosteric site enhances the affinity of Escherichia coli phosphofructokinase (PFK) for fructose 6-phosphate (Fru-6-P). X-ray crystallographic data indicate that MgADP interacts with the conserved glutamate at position 187 within the allosteric site through an octahedrally coordinated Mg(2+) ion [Shirakihara, Y., and Evans, P. R. (1988) J. Mol. Biol. 204, 973-994]. Lau and Fersht reported that substituting an alanine for this glutamate within the allosteric site of PFK (i.e., mutant E187A) causes MgADP to lose its allosteric effect upon Fru-6-P binding [Lau, F. T.-K., and Fersht, A. R. (1987) Nature 326, 811-812]. However, these authors later reported that MgADP inhibits Fru-6-P binding in the E187A mutant. The inhibition presumably occurs by preferential binding to the inactive (T) state complex of the Monod-Wyman-Changeux two-state model [Lau, F. T.-K., and Fersht, A. R. (1989) Biochemistry 28, 6841-6847]. The present study provides an alternative explanation of the role of MgADP in the E187A mutant. Using enzyme kinetics, steady-state fluorescence emission, and anisotropy, we performed a systematic linkage analysis of the three-ligand interaction between MgADP, Fru-6-P, and MgATP. We found that MgADP at low concentrations did not enhance or inhibit substrate binding. Anisotropy shows that MgADP binding at the allosteric site occurred even when MgADP produced no allosteric effect. However, as in the wild-type enzyme, the binding of MgADP to the active site in the mutant competitively inhibited MgATP binding and noncompetitively inhibited Fru-6-P binding. These results clarified the mechanism of a three-ligand interaction and offered a nontraditional perspective on allosteric mechanism. 相似文献

The ability for various ligands to modulate the binding of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (Fru-1,6-P2) with purified rat liver pyruvate kinase was examined. Binding of Fru-1,6-P2 with pyruvate kinase exhibits positive cooperativity, with maximum binding of 4 mol Fru-1,6-P2 per enzyme tetramer. The Hill coefficient (nH), and the concentration of Fru-1,6-P2 giving half-maximal binding [FBP]1/2, are influenced by several factors. In 150 mM Tris-HCl, 70 mM KCl, 11 mM MgSO4 at pH 7.4, [FBP]1/2 is 2.6 microM and nH is 2.7. Phosphoenolpyruvate and pyruvate enhance the binding of Fru-1,6-P2 by decreasing [FBP]1/2. ADP and ATP alone had little influence on Fru-1,6-P2 binding. However, the nucleotides antagonize the response elicited by pyruvate or phosphoenolpyruvate, suggesting that the competent enzyme substrate complex does not favor Fru-1,6-P2 binding. Phosphorylation of pyruvate kinase or the inclusion of alanine in the medium, two actions which inhibit the enzyme activity, result in diminished binding of low concentrations of Fru-1,6-P2 with the enzyme. These effectors do not alter the maximum binding capacity of the enzyme but rather they raise the concentrations of Fru-1,6-P2 needed for maximum binding. Phosphorylation also decreased the nH for Fru-1,6-P2 binding from 2.7 to 1.7. Pyruvate kinase activity is dependent on a divalent metal ion. Substituting Mn2+ for Mg2+ results in a 60% decrease in the maximum catalytic activity for the enzyme and decreases the concentration of phosphoenolpyruvate needed for half-maximal activity from 1 to 0.1 mM. As a consequence, Mn2+ stimulates activity at subsaturating concentrations of phosphoenolpyruvate, but inhibits at saturating concentrations of the substrate or in the presence of Fru-1,6-P2. Both Mg2+ and Mn2+ diminish binding of low concentrations of Fru-1,6-P2; however, the concentrations of the metal ions needed to influence Fru-1,6-P2 binding exceed those needed to support catalytic activity. 相似文献

Pyrphosphate-dependent phosphofructokinase (PFP) was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from illuminated pineapple (Ananas comosus) leaves. The purified enzyme consists of a single subunit of 61.5 kD that is immunologically related to the potato tuber PFP [beta] subunit. The native form of PFP likely consists of a homodimer of 97.2 kD, as determined by gel filtration. PFP's glycolytic activity was strongly dependent on pH, displaying a maximum at pH 7.7 to 7.9. Gluconeogenic activity was relatively constant between pH 6.7 and 8.7. Activation by Fru-2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6-P2) was dependent on assay pH. In the glycolytic direction, it activated about 10-fold at pH 6.7, but only 2-fold at pH 7.7. The gluconeogenic reaction was only weakly affected by Fru-2,6-P2. The true substrates for the PFP forward and reverse reactions were Fru-6-phosphate and Mg-pyrophosphate, and Fru-1,6-P2, orthophosphate, and Mg2+, respectively. The results suggest that pineapple PFP displays regulatory properties consistent with a pH-based regulation of its glycolytic activity, in which a decrease in cytosolic pH caused by nocturnal acidification during Crassulacean acid metabolism, which could curtail its activity, is compensated by a parallel increase in its sensitivity to Fru-2,6-P2. It is also evident that the [beta] subunit alone is sufficient to confer PFP with a high catalytic rate and the regulatory properties associated with activation by Fru-2,6-P2. 相似文献

Phosphofructokinase from the liver fluke, Fasciola hepatica, was phosphorylated by the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase isolated from this organism. Phosphorylated fluke phosphofructokinase had a sevenfold lower apparent Km for its substrate, Fru-6-P, and an eightfold higher 0.5 Vopt for ATP, the enzyme's primary inhibitor, than native phosphofructokinase. Activation of fluke phosphofructokinase following phorphorylation by a mammalian protein kinase catalytic subunit was previously reported (E. S. Kamemoto and T. E. Mansour (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 4346-4351). The catalytic subunit of protein kinase isolated from the liver fluke phosphorylated sites on fluke phosphofructokinase similar to those phosphorylated by the mammalian enzyme. Maximal phosphate incorporation was 0.3 mol P/mol of protomer. The native enzyme was found to contain 1.3 mol P/mol of protomer. In contrast to fluke phosphofructokinase, activity of the mammalian heart enzyme was slightly decreased following phosphorylation. The dependence of allosteric interaction on an acidic pH observed with the mammalian phosphofructokinase was not observed with the fluke enzyme. Unlike mammalian phosphofructokinase, allosteric kinetics of the fluke enzyme was observed at alkaline pH (8.0). Fluke phosphofructokinase was found to be relatively insensitive to inhibition by citrate, a known potent inhibitor of the mammalian enzyme. Fru-2,6-P2, a potent modifier of phosphofructokinase from a variety of sources, was found to activate both native and phosphorylated fluke phosphofructokinase. The most potent activators of fluke phosphofructokinase were found to be Fru-2,6-P2, AMP, and phosphorylation. The endogenous level of Fru-2,6-P2 in the flukes was determined to be 29 +/- 1.3 nmol/g wet wt, a level that may well modulate enzyme activity. Fru-6-P,2-kinase, the enzyme responsible for synthesis of Fru-2,6-P2, was found to be present in the flukes. Our results suggest physiological roles for phosphorylation and Fru-2,6-P2 in regulation of fluke phosphofructokinase. 相似文献

The biophysical properties of a tryptophan-shifted mutant of phosphofructokinase from Bacillus stearothermophilus (BsPFK) have been examined. The mutant, designated W179Y/Y164W, has kinetic and thermodynamic properties similar to the wild-type enzyme. A 2-fold decrease in kcat is observed, and the mutant displays a 3-fold smaller K(0.5) for the substrate, fructose-6-phosphate (Fru-6-P), as compared to the wild-type enzyme. The dissociation constant for the inhibitor, phospho(enol)pyruvate (PEP), increases 2-fold, and the coupling parameter, Q(ay), decreases 2-fold. This suggests that while the mutant displays a slightly decreased affinity for PEP, PEP is still an effective inhibitor once bound. The new position of the tryptophan in W179Y/Y164W is approximately 6 A from the Fru-6-P portion of the active site. A 25% decrease in fluorescence intensity is observed upon Fru-6-P binding, and an 80% decrease in fluorescence intensity is observed with PEP binding. In addition, the intrinsic fluorescence polarization increases from 0.327 +/- 0.001 to 0.353 +/- 0.001 upon Fru-6-P binding, but decreases to 0.290 +/- 0.001 when PEP binds. Most notably, the presence of PEP induces dissociation of the tetramer. Dissociation of the tetramer into dimers occurs along the active site interface and can be monitored by the loss in activity or the loss in tryptophan fluorescence that is observed when the enzyme is titrated with PEP. Activity can be protected or recovered by incubating the enzyme with Fru-6-P. Recovery of activity is enzyme concentration dependent, and the rate constant for association is 6.2 +/- 0.3 M(-1) x s(-1). Ultracentrifugation experiments revealed that in the absence of PEP the mutant enzyme exists in an equilibrium between the dimer and tetramer forms with a dissociation constant of 11.8 +/- 0.5 microM, while in the presence of PEP the enzyme exists in equilibrium between the dimer and monomer forms with a dissociation constant of 7.5 +/- 0.02 microM. A 3.1 A crystal structure of the mutant enzyme suggests that the amino acid substitutions have not dramatically altered the tertiary structure of the enzyme. While it is clear that wild-type BsPFK exists as a tetramer under these same conditions, these results suggest that quaternary structural changes probably play an important role in allosteric communication. 相似文献

An open reading frame (ORF) of snake muscle fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (Fru-1,6-P2ase) was obtained by the RT-PCR method with degenerate primers, followed by RACE-PCR. The cDNA of Fru-1,6-P2ase, encoding 340 amino acids, is highly homologous to that of mammalian species, especially human muscle, with a few exceptions. Kinetic parameters of the purified recombinant enzyme, including inhibition behavior by AMP, were identical to that of the tissue form. Replacement of the N-terminal sequence of this enzyme by the corresponding region of rat liver Fru-1,6-P2ase shows that the activity was fully retained in the chimeric enzyme. The inhibition constant (Ki) of AMP at pH 7.5, however, increases sharply from 0.85 microM (wild-type) to 1.2 mM (chimeric enzyme). AMP binding is mainly located in the N-terminal region, and the allosteric inhibition was shown not to be merely determined by the backbone of this region. The fact that the chimeric enzyme could be activated at alkaline pH by AMP indicated that the AMP activation requires the global structure beyond the area. 相似文献

A revised preparation of pyruvate kinase from saccharomyces cerevisiae is reported. By purifying this cold-labile enzyme at room temperature, an improved recovery and specific activity was obtained. More than 350 mg of pure enzyme with a specific activity of 350 to 400 units/mg at 30 degrees were obtained from a pound of fresh yeast. The last step of the preparation, passage of the enzyme over Sephadex G-100, was required to remove a contaminating protease. The molecular parameters of the new preparation are: molecular weight, 209,000; four subunits of identical size; E 280 nm, 0.51; pI 6.6; and pH optimum, 6.28. Kinetic parameters are: Km for P-enolpyruvate and ADP, 0.09 and 0.18 mM in the presence of saturating Fru-1,6-P2, and 1.8 and 0.34 mM in the absence of Fru-1,6-P2; Ka for Fru-1,6-P2, 0.014 mM. No free NH2-terminal amino acid could be detected. Amino acid composition was determined and compared with other pyruvate kinase preparations. 相似文献

In order to determine the role of fructose (Fru) 2,6-P2 in stimulation of phosphofructokinase in ischemic liver, tissue contents of Fru-2,6-P2, hexose-Ps, adenine nucleotides, and Fru-6-P,2-kinase:Fru-2,6-bisphosphatase were investigated during the first few minutes of ischemia. The Fru-2,6-P2 concentration in the liver changed in an oscillatory manner. Within 7 s after the initiation of ischemia, Fru-2,6-P2 increased from 6 to 21 nmol/g liver and decreased to 5 nmol/g liver within 30 s. Subsequently, it reached the maximum value at 50, 80, and 100 s and decreased to the basal concentration at 60, 90, and 120 s. Oscillatory patterns were also observed with Glc-6-P and Fru-6-P, but the ATP/ADP ratio decreased monotonically. Determination of Fru-6-P,2-kinase activity and the phosphorylation states of Fru-6-P,2-kinase:Fru-2,6-bisphosphatase demonstrated that at 7 and 50 s, where Fru-2,6-P2 was the highest, the enzyme was activated and mostly in a dephosphorylated form. On the other hand, at 0, 30, and 300 s, the enzyme was predominantly in the phosphorylated form. The concentration of cAMP in the liver also changed in an oscillatory manner between 0.5 to 1.3 nmol/g with varying frequency of 10 to 40 s. These results indicated that: (a) Fru-2,6-P2 was important in rapid activation of phosphofructokinase in the first few seconds and up to 2-3 min, and (b) the oscillation of Fru-2,6-P2 concentration was the result of activation and inhibition of Fru-6-P,2-kinase:Fru-2,6-bisphosphatase, which was caused by changes in the phosphorylation state of the enzyme. 相似文献

Glucosaminephosphate synthase (glucosaminephosphate isomerase (glutamine-forming), EC 5.3.1.19) prepared from rat liver by extraction in the presence of glucose 6-phosphate (Glc-6-P) followed by precipitation with (NH4)2SO4 is susceptible to digestion by trypsin. This enzyme, designated form A, can be converted to tryptic-insusceptible form B upon incubation with Glc-6-P or fructose 6-phosphate (Fru-6-P) at 37 degrees C. The two forms also differ in the degree of activation by dithiothreitol, the degree of inhibition by methyl-glyoxal and the behavior on DEAE-Sephadex and Sephadex G-200 column chromatography. During purification with DEAE-Sephadex followed by hydroxyapatite, form B is converted to form A if Fru-6-P is absent and form A to form B if Fru-6-P is present. The two forms are therefore intercovertible. Under the conditions of purification, form B is more stable than form A, since the purity and yield of the final product are greater with form B than with form A. These findings suggest that the two forms of glucosaminephosphate synthase differ conformationally and that the equilibrium position depends on the concentration of Fru-6-P. Glc-6-P is effective only when it gives rise to Fru-6-P by mediation of glucose-phosphate isomerase. 相似文献

Studies on the regulation of yeast phosphofructo-1-kinase: its role in aerobic and anaerobic glycolysis 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The kinetics of yeast phosphofructo-1-kinase has been studied in vitro. Effector concentrations (Fru-6-P, ATP, ADP, AMP, Pi, Fru-1,6-P2, and Fru-2,6-P2) and pH were adjusted so as to mimic intracellular concentrations in yeast. Under these conditions we were able to reproduce the measured in vivo rate of PFK. In addition, by reconstituting the intracellular conditions existing during aerobic and anaerobic glycolysis, we were able to reproduce in vitro the changes in the rate of PFK observed under these conditions. Without the addition of the newly discovered effector Fru-2,6-P2, in vitro rates of PFK are much lower than its in vivo rate. Changes in Fru-2,6-P2, Fru-1,6-P2, ATP, AMP, Pi, and pH in going from aerobic to anaerobic conditions all contributed somewhat to the change in the rate of PFK observed during the Pasteur effect, with no contribution coming from ADP. These studies show that the control of PFK under the condition of the Pasteur effect cannot be ascribed to changes in any one particular effector but rather to contributions from a variety of effectors. Also, the net change in the rate of PFK in the switch from anaerobic to aerobic glycolysis is small compared with the change in its dependence upon its substrate Fru-6-P, indicating a compensation mechanism. 相似文献
