Kinetic properties of phosphofructokinase 2 (PFK2) and regulation of glycolysis by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and insulin were investigated in highly glycolytic HT29 colon cancer cells. PFK2 was found to be inhibited by citrate and, to a lesser extent, by phosphoenolpyruvate and ADP, but to be insensitive to inhibition by sn-glycerol phosphate. From these kinetic data, PFK2 from HT29 cells appears different from the liver form, but resembles somewhat the heart isoenzyme. Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6-P2) levels, glucose consumption and lactate production are increased in a dose-dependent manner in HT29 cells treated with PMA or insulin. The increase in Fru-2,6-P2 can be related to an increase in the Vmax. of PFK2, persisting after the enzyme has been precipitated with poly(ethylene glycol), without change in the Km for fructose 6-phosphate. The most striking effects of PMA and insulin on Fru-2,6-P2 production are observed after long-term treatment (24 h) and are abolished by actinomycin, cycloheximide and puromycin, suggesting that protein synthesis is involved. Furthermore, the effects of insulin and PMA on glucose consumption, lactate production, Fru-2,6-P2 levels and PFK2 activity are additive, and the effect of insulin on Fru-2,6-P2 production is not altered by pre-treatment of the cells with the phorbol ester. This suggests that these effects are exerted by separate mechanisms.  相似文献

Under the standard conditions of culture, Fru-2,6-P2 level in HT29 cells is transitorily increased as a consequence of medium change; the peak value occurs after 2 hr, followed by a gradual return to a basal value (40 pmol/mg protein) which is maintained as long as medium glucose concentration stands above 2 mM. A 20 hr glucose deprivation lowers Fru-2,6-P2 level to trace value, but, when glucose is reintroduced, the peak value is much higher; large Fru-2,6-P2 accumulation is correlated with higher rates of glucose uptake and lactate release, which suggests an activation of glycolysis at the level of phosphofructokinase-1. Fru-2,6-P2 level depends on the glucose concentration within the range of 0 to 5 mM. At this concentration and above, maximal effect is reached. Previous glucose deprivation renders the Fru-2,6-P2 forming system more sensitive to glucose. When given instead of glucose, fructose enters the glycolytic pathway and produces same effect as glucose on the Fru-2,6-P2 level. Galactose turns it to almost zero which coincides with low glycolytic rate. Acidity of the culture medium favorishes the Fru-2,6-P2 formation; however, change in pH cannot explain the variations of Fru-2,6-P2 level observed under the standard culture conditions. Lactate concentrations over 10 mM in the medium are found to significantly inhibit the Fru-2,6-P2 producing system. Therefore, lactate accumulation in the medium could be an important factor controlling Fru-2,6-P2 level during standard cell culture.  相似文献

The bifunctional enzyme 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase appears to be the only enzyme catalyzing the formation and hydrolysis of Fru-2,6-P2. The enzyme as we isolate it, contains a trace of tightly bound Fru-6-P. In this condition, it exhibited an ATPase activity comparable to its kinase activity. Inorganic phosphate stimulated all of its activities, by increasing the affinity for all substrates and increasing the Vmax of ATP and Fru-2,6-P2 hydrolysis. The enzyme catalyzed ADP/ATP and Fru-6-P/Fru-2,6-P2 exchanges at rates comparable to net reaction rates. It was phosphorylated by both [gamma-32P]ATP and [2-32P] Fru-2,6-P2, and the label from either donor was chased by either unlabeled donor, showing that the bound phosphate is hydrolyzed if not transferred to an acceptor ligand. The rate of labeling of the enzyme by [2-32P]Fru-2,6-P2 was 2 orders of magnitude greater than the maximal velocity of the bisphosphatase and therefore sufficiently fast to be a step in the hydrolysis. Both inorganic phosphate and Fru-6-P increased the rate and steady state of enzyme phosphorylation by ATP. Fru-2,6-P2 inhibited the ATPase and kinase reactions and Fru-6-P inhibited the Fru-2,6 bisphosphatase reaction while ATP and ADP had no effect. Removal of the trace of Fru-6-P by Glu-6-P isomerase and Glu-6-P dehydrogenase reduced enzyme phosphorylation by ATP to very low levels, greatly inhibited the ATPase, and rendered it insensitive to Pi, but did not affect ADP/ATP exchange. (alpha + beta)Methylfructofuranoside-6-P did not increase the rate or steady state labeling by ATP. These results suggest that labeling of the enzyme by ATP involved the production of [2-32P]Fru-2,6-P2 from the trace Fru-6-P. The 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase, fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase, and ATP/ADP exchange were all inhibited by diethylpyrocarbonate, suggesting the involvement of histidine residues in all three reactions. These results can be most readily explained in terms of two catalytic sites, a kinase site whose phosphorylation by ATP is negligible (or whose E-P is labile) and a Fru-2,6 bisphosphatase site which is readily phosphorylated by Fru-2,6-P2.  相似文献

Mitogenic response to growth factors is concomitant with the modulation they exert on the levels of Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6-P2), an essential activator of the glycolytic flux. In mammalian cells, decreased Fru-2,6-P2 concentration causes cell cycle delay, whereas high levels of Fru-2,6-P2 sensitize cells to apoptosis. In order to analyze the cell cycle consequences due to changes in Fru-2,6-P2 levels, the bisphosphatase-dead mutant (H258A) of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase enzyme was over-expressed in Schizosaccharomyces pombe cells and the variation in cell phenotype was studied. The results obtained demonstrate that the increase in Fru-2,6-P2 levels results in a defective division of S. pombe, as revealed by an altered multisepted phenotype. The H258A-expressing cells showed impairment of cytokinesis, but normal nuclear division. In order to identify cellular mediators responsible for this effect, we transformed different S. pombe strains and observed that the cytokinetic defect was absent in cells defective for Wee1 kinase function. Therefore, in S. pombe, Wee1 integrates the metabolic signal emerging from changes in Fru-2,6-P2 content, thus coupling metabolism with cell proliferation. As the key regulators of the cell cycle checkpoints are conserved throughout evolution, these results may help to understand the experimental evidences obtained by manipulation of Fru-2,6-P2 levels in mammalian cells.  相似文献

When fasted rats ate regular lab chow there was a lag time of about 2 h before the concentration of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6-P2) in liver began to rise from its low basal level. By contrast, in animals refed on a sucrose-based diet hepatic [Fru-2,6-P2] increased 20-fold (to a value of approximately 12 nmol/g wet weight) during the first hour. These responses correlated with differences in the ability of the two diets to increase the circulating [insulin]/[glucagon] ratio and thus to elevate the ratio of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase to fructose-2, 6-bisphosphatase. Liver glycogen was deposited briskly in both groups of rats. To assess its mechanism of synthesis (directly from glucose versus indirectly via the gluconeogenic pathway), animals eating the chow or sucrose diets received intravenous infusions of [14C]bicarbonate, [1-14C] fructose, and 3H2O. After isolation, the glycogen was subjected to positional isotopic analysis of its glucose residues. The results established that regardless of the diet the bulk of liver glycogen was gluconeogenic in origin. The fact that with sucrose feeding carbon flow through hepatic fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase remained active despite high levels of Fru-2,6-P2 (a potent inhibitor of this enzyme in vitro) presents a metabolic paradox. Conceivably, the suppressive effect of Fru-2, 6-P2 on hepatic fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase is overridden in vivo by some unknown factor or factors generated in response to sucrose feeding. Alternatively, metabolic zonation in liver might result in the coexistence of hepatocytes rich in Fru-2,6-P2 (high glycolytic, low gluconeogenic, low glycogenic capacitites) with cells depleted of Fru-2,6-P2 (low glycolytic, high gluconeogenic, high glycogenic capacities).  相似文献

Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate: a traffic signal in plant metabolism   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6-P(2)) regulates key reactions of the primary carbohydrate metabolism in all eukaryotes. In plants, Fru-2,6-P(2) coordinates the photosynthetic carbon flux into sucrose and starch biosynthesis. The use of transgenic plants has allowed the regulatory models to be tested by modifying the Fru-2,6-P(2) levels and the enzymes regulated by Fru-2,6-P(2). Genes for the bifunctional plant enzyme that synthesizes and degrades Fru-2,6-P(2) have been isolated and molecular characterization has provided new insight into structure and molecular regulation of the enzyme. Advances in Fru-2,6-P(2) physiology and molecular biology are discussed. These advances have not only enlightened in vivo operation of Fru-2,6-P(2) but also revealed that the Fru-2,6-P(2) regulatory system is highly complex and interacts with other regulatory mechanisms.  相似文献

Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) operates at a control point in mammalian gluconeogenesis, being inhibited synergistically by fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6-P(2)) and AMP. AMP and Fru-2,6-P(2) bind to allosteric and active sites, respectively, but the mechanism responsible for AMP/Fru-2,6-P(2) synergy is unclear. Demonstrated here for the first time is a global conformational change in porcine FBPase induced by Fru-2,6-P(2) in the absence of AMP. The Fru-2,6-P(2) complex exhibits a subunit pair rotation of 13 degrees from the R-state (compared with the 15 degrees rotation of the T-state AMP complex) with active site loops in the disengaged conformation. A three-state thermodynamic model in which Fru-2,6-P(2) drives a conformational change to a T-like intermediate state can account for AMP/Fru-2,6-P(2) synergism in mammalian FBPases. AMP and Fru-2,6-P(2) are not synergistic inhibitors of the Type I FBPase from Escherichia coli, and consistent with that model, the complex of E. coli FBPase with Fru-2,6-P(2) remains in the R-state with dynamic loops in the engaged conformation. Evidently in porcine FBPase, the actions of AMP at the allosteric site and Fru-2,6-P(2) at the active site displace engaged dynamic loops by distinct mechanisms, resulting in similar quaternary end-states. Conceivably, Type I FBPases from all eukaryotes may undergo similar global conformational changes in response to Fru-2,6-P(2) ligation.  相似文献

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) treatment of A-431 cells induces a biphasic increase in the levels of inositol phosphates. The growth factor produces an initial, rapid increase in the level of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins-1,4,5-P3) due to hydrolysis of phosphatidyl-inositol-4,5-bisphosphate (Wahl, M., Sweatt, J. D., and Carpenter, G. (1987) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 142, 688-695). The level of inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (Ins-1,3,4,5-P4) also rises rapidly in response to treatment with EGF. The initial formation (less than 1 min) of Ins-1,4,5-P3 and Ins-1,3,4,5-P4 does not require Ca2+ present in the culture medium. However, the addition of Ca2+ to the medium at levels of 100 microM or greater potentiates the growth factor-stimulated increases in the levels of all inositol phosphates at later times after EGF addition (1-60 min). The data suggest that EGF-receptor complexes initially stimulate the enzyme phospholipase C in a manner that is independent of an influx of extracellular Ca2+. The presence of Ca2+ in the medium allows prolonged growth factor activation of phospholipase C. Treatment of A-431 cells with Ca2+ ionophores (A23187 and ionomycin) did not mimic the activity of EGF in producing a rapid increase in the formation of the Dowex column fraction containing Ins-1,4,5-P3, Ins-1,3,4,5-P4, and inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate (InsP3). However, the initial EGF-stimulated formation of inositol phosphates was substantially diminished in cells loaded with the Ca2+ chelator Quin 2/AM. EGF receptor occupancy studies indicated that maximal stimulation of InsP3 accumulation by EGF requires nearly full (75%) occupancy of available EGF binding sites, while half-maximal stimulation requires 25% occupancy. 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), an exogenous activator of Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C), causes a dramatic, but transient, inhibition of the EGF-stimulated formation of inositol phosphates. Tamoxifen and sphingosine, reported pharmacologic inhibitors of protein kinase C activity, potentiate the capacity of EGF to induce formation of inositol phosphates. Neither TPA nor tamoxifen significantly affects the 125I-EGF binding capacity of A-431 cells; however, TPA appeared to enhance internalization of the ligand. Ligand occupation of the EGF receptor on the A-431 cell appears to initiate a complex signaling mechanism involving production of intracellular messengers for Ca2+ mobilization and activation of protein kinase C.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)  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

1. The fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6-P2) content of mesenteric lymph nodes was measured in rats. 2. The effects of Fru-2,6-P2 on the activity of 6-phosphofructo-1-kinase (PFK-1) from rat mesenteric lymph nodes were also studied. 3. The affinity of the enzyme for fructose-6-phosphate was increased by Fru-2,6-P2 whereas the inhibition of the enzyme with high concentrations of ATP was released by Fru-2,6-P2. 4. The activity of lymphocyte PFK-1 was highly stimulated in a simultaneous presence of low concentrations of AMP and Fru-2,6-P2. 5. These results show that rat lymphocyte PFK-1 is highly regulated with Fru-2,6-P2 which means that glycolysis in rat lymphocytes is controlled by Fru-2,6-P2.  相似文献

Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6-P(2)) is a potent allosteric activator of the ATP-dependent phosphofructokinase (PFK) in eukaryotes. Based on the sequence homology between rabbit muscle PFK and two bacterial PFKs and the crystal structures of the latter, Ser(530), Arg(292) and His(662) of the rabbit enzyme are implicated as binding sites for Fru-2,6-P(2). We report here the effects of three mutations, S530D, R292A, and H662A on the activation of rabbit muscle PFK by Fru-2,6-P(2). At pH 7.0 and the inhibitory concentrations of ATP, the native enzyme gives a classic sigmoidal response to changes in Fru-6-P concentration in the absence of Fru-2,6-P(2) and a nearly hyperbolic response in the presence of the activator. Under the same conditions, no activation was seen for S530D. On the other hand, H662A can be activated but requires a 10-fold or higher concentration of Fru-2,6-P(2). Limited activation was observed for mutant R292A. A model illustrating the sites for recognition of Fru-2,6-P(2) in rabbit muscle PFK as well as the mechanism of allosteric activation is proposed.  相似文献

Modulation of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (6PF-2-K/Fru-2,6-P(2)ase) gene expression by diet composition and ration size was studied in the liver of gilthead sea bream, Sparus aurata. From five different types of diet supplied to fish, those with either high carbohydrate/low protein or high carbohydrate/low lipid content stimulated 6PF-2-K/Fru-2,6-P(2)ase expression at the levels of mRNA, immunodetectable protein and kinase activity as well as promoting higher fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6-P(2)) values. The expression of the bifunctional enzyme and Fru-2,6-P(2) levels showed also direct dependence on the quantity of diet supplied. These findings demonstrate for the first time nutritional regulation of 6PF-2-K/Fru-2,6-P(2)ase at mRNA level by diet composition and ration size and suggest that the carnivorous fish S. aurata can adapt its metabolism, by stimulation of liver glycolysis, to partial substitution of protein by carbohydrate in the diet. In addition, the expression of 6PF-2-K/Fru-2,6-P(2)ase can be used as an indicator of nutritional condition.  相似文献

The role of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6-P(2)) as a regulatory metabolite in photosynthetic carbohydrate metabolism was studied in transgenic Arabidopsis plants with reduced activity of Fru-6-phosphate,2-kinase/Fru-2,6-bisphosphatase. A positive correlation was observed between the Fru-6-phosphate,2-kinase activity and the level of Fru-2,6-P(2) in the leaves. The partitioning of carbon was studied by (14)CO(2) labeling of photosynthetic products. Plant lines with Fru-2,6-P(2) levels down to 5% of the levels observed in wild-type (WT) plants had significantly altered partitioning of carbon between sucrose (Suc) versus starch. The ratio of (14)C incorporated into Suc and starch increased 2- to 3-fold in the plants with low levels of Fru-2,6-P(2) compared with WT. Transgenic plant lines with intermediate levels of Fru-2,6-P(2) compared with WT had a Suc-to-starch labeling ratio similar to the WT. Levels of sugars, starch, and phosphorylated intermediates in leaves were followed during the diurnal cycle. Plants with low levels of Fru-2,6-P(2) in leaves had high levels of Suc, glucose, and Fru and low levels of triose phosphates and glucose-1-P during the light period compared with WT. During the dark period these differences were eliminated. Our data provide direct evidence that Fru-2,6-P(2) affects photosynthetic carbon partitioning in Arabidopsis. Opposed to this, Fru-2,6-P(2) does not contribute significantly to regulation of metabolite levels in darkness.  相似文献

The addition of either recombinant human interleukin 1 (IL1 alpha) or 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) to cultured rheumatoid synovial cells (RSC) caused dose-related increases in PGE production and cellular fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6-P2). IL1 consistently produced the greater increases in both parameters. A close association between increases in PGE production and Fru-2,6-P2 was demonstrated for both IL1- and TPA-stimulated cells. The combined addition of IL1 with TPA resulted in an additive increase in both parameters. When IL1 was added together with human recombinant interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), the resulting Fru-2,6-P2 level was synergistically increased, whilst the combination of IFN-gamma and TPA produced only an additive increase. Thus despite their very similar effects on RSC in culture, the data suggests that IL1 and TPA do not act via an identical intracellular mechanism.  相似文献

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

The fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6-P2) content and intracellular concentration of lactating mammary gland was measured in fed, starved and re-fed rats. There was little or no change on starvation, and about 1.5-fold rise on re-feeding, contrasting with estimated glycolytic changes of about 10-fold. The 6-phosphofructokinase (PFK-1) activity of mammary extracts was highly sensitive to added Fru-2,6-P2 under all conditions examined, and appeared to approach saturation at physiological concentrations of this effector. The activity of mammary PFK-1 measured under optimal and 'physiological' conditions suggested that this enzyme operates in vivo at about 24% of maximal rate, and is likely to be an important rate-limiting factor in mammary glycolysis.  相似文献

Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6-P2) plays an important role in the regulation of major carbohydrate fluxes as both allosteric activator and inhibitor of target enzymes. To examine the role of Fru-2,6-P2 in the regulation of hepatic carbohydrate metabolism in vivo, Fru-2,6-P2 levels were elevated in ADM mice with adenovirus-mediated overexpression of a double mutant bifunctional enzyme, 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (n = 6), in comparison to normal control mice (control, n = 6). The rates of hepatic glycogen synthesis in the ADM and control mouse liver in vivo were measured using new advances in 13C NMR including 3D localization in conjunction with [1-13C]glucose infusion. In addition to glycogen C1, the C6 and C2-C5 signals were measured simultaneously for the first time in vivo, which provide the basis for the estimation of direct and indirect synthesis of glycogen in the liver. The rate of label incorporation into glycogen C1 was not different between the control and ADM group, whereas the rate of label incorporation into glycogen C6 signals was in the ADM group 5.6 +/- 0.5 micro mol.g-1.h-1, which was higher than that of the control group of 3.7 +/- 0.5 micro mol.g-1.h-1 (P < 0.02). The rates of net glycogen synthesis, determined by the glycogen C2-C5 signal changes, were twofold higher in the ADM group (P = 0.04). The results provide direct in vivo evidence that the effects of elevated Fru-2,6-P2 levels in the liver include increased glycogen storage through indirect synthesis of glycogen. These observations provide a key to understanding the mechanisms by which elevated hepatic Fru-2,6-P2 levels promote reduced hepatic glucose production and lower blood glucose in diabetes mellitus.  相似文献

The hepatic bifunctional enzyme, 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (6PF-2-K/Fru-2,6-P2ase), E.C. 2.7-1-105/E.C. 3-1-3-46, is one member of a family of unique bifunctional proteins that catalyze the synthesis and degradation of the regulatory metabolite fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6-P2). Fru-2,6-P2 is a potent activator of the glycolytic enzyme 6-phosphofructo-1-kinase and an inhibitor of the gluconeogenic enzyme fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, and provides a switching mechanism between these two opposing pathways of hepatic carbohydrate metabolism. The activities of the hepatic 6PF-2-K/Fru-2,6-P2ase isoform are reciprocally regulated by a cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (cAPK)-catalyzed phosphorylation at a single NH2-terminal residue, Ser-32. Phosphorylation at Ser-32 inhibits the kinase and activates the bisphosphatase, in part through an electrostatic mechanism. Substitution of Asp for Ser-32 mimics the effects of cAPK-catalyzed phosphorylation. In the dephosphorylated homodimer, the NH2- and COOH-terminal tail regions also have an interaction with their respective active sites on the same subunit to produce an autoregulatory inhibition of the bisphosphatase and activation of the kinase. In support of this hypothesis, deletion of either the NH2- or COOH-terminal tail region, or both regions, leads to a disruption of these interactions with a maximal activation of the bisphosphatase. Inhibition of the kinase is observed with the NH2-truncated forms, in which there is also a diminution of cAPK phosphorylation to decrease the Km for Fru-6-P. Phosphorylation of the bifunctional enzyme by cAPK disrupts these autoregulatory interactions, resulting in inhibition of the kinase and activation of the bisphosphatase. Therefore, effects of cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylation are mediated by a combination of electrostatic and autoregulatory control mechanisms.  相似文献

This study examines the influence of the growth promoter, lepidimoic acid, on the level of an important cytosolic signal metabolite, fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6-P2), which can activate pyrophosphatedependent:phosphofructokinase (PFP, EC 2.7.1.90), and on glycolytic metabolism in Amaranthus caudatus seedlings. Fru-2,6-P2 concentrations were respectively increased by approximately 2-, 3- and 4-fold when the seedlings were treated with 0.3, 3 and 30 mM lepidimoic acid. Exogenous lepidimoic acid also affected levels of glycolytic intermediates in the seedlings. The increase in fructose 1,6-bisphosphate and decreases in fructose 6-phosphate and glucose 6-phosphate were found in response to the elevated concentration of lepidimoic acid. These results suggest that lepidimoic acid may affect glycolytic metabolism in the Amaranthus seedlings by increasing the activity of PFP due to increasing level of Fru-2,6-P2.  相似文献

Activities catalyzing the synthesis of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (fructose-6-phosphate,2-kinase or Fru-6-P,2K) and its breakdown (fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase or Fru-2,6-P2ase) were identified in leaves of corn (Zea mays), a C4 plant. Fru-6-P,2K and Fru-2,6-P2ase were both localized mainly, if not entirely, in the leaf mesophyll cells. A partially purified preparation containing the two activities revealed that the kinase and phosphatase were regulated by metabolite effectors in a manner generally similar to their counterparts in C3 species. Thus, corn Fru-6-P,2K was activated by inorganic phosphate (Pi) and fructose-6-phosphate, and was inhibited by 3-phosphoglycerate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate. Fru-2,6-P2ase was inhibited by its products, fructose-6-phosphate and Pi. However, unlike its spinach equivalent, corn Fru-2,6-P2ase was also inhibited by 3-phosphoglycerate and, less effectively, by dihydroxyacetone phosphate. The C4 Fru-6-P,2K and Fru-2,6-P2ase were also quite sensitive to inhibition by phosphoenolpyruvate, and each enzyme was also selectively inhibited by certain other metabolites.  相似文献
