Fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase from rat liver   总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16  
An enzyme that catalyzes the stoichiometric conversion of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate into fructose 6-phosphate and inorganic phosphate has been purified from rat liver. This fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase copurified with phosphofructokinase 2 (ATP: D-fructose 6-phosphate 2-phosphotransferase) in the several separation procedures used. The enzyme was active in the absence of Mg2+ and was stimulated by triphosphonucleotides in the presence of Mg2+ and also by glycerol 3-phosphate, glycerol 2-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate. It was strongly inhibited by fructose 6-phosphate at physiological concentrations and this inhibition was partially relieved by glycerol phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate. The activity of fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase was increased severalfold upon incubation in the presence of cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase and cyclic AMP. The activation resulted from an increase in V (rate at infinite concentration of substrate) and from a greater sensitivity to the stimulatory action of ATP and of glycerol phosphate at neutral pH. The activity of fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase could also be measured in crude liver preparations and in extracts of hepatocytes. It was then increased severalfold by treatment of the cells with glucagon, when measured in the presence of triphosphonucleotides.  相似文献

Phosphofructokinase 2 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae was purified 8500-fold by chromatography on blue Trisacryl, gel filtration on Superose 6B and chromatography on ATP-agarose. Its apparent molecular mass was close to 600 kDa. The purified enzyme could be activated fivefold upon incubation in the presence of [gamma-32P]ATP-Mg and the catalytic subunit of cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase from beef heart; there was a parallel incorporation of 32P into a 105-kDa peptide and also, but only faintly, into a 162-kDa subunit. A low-Km (0.1 microM) fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase could be identified both by its ability to hydrolyze fructose 2,6-[2-32P]bisphosphate and to form in its presence an intermediary radioactive phosphoprotein. This enzyme was purified 300-fold, had an apparent molecular mass of 110 kDa and was made of two 56-kDa subunits. It was inhibited by fructose 6-phosphate (Ki = 5 microM) and stimulated 2-3-fold by 50 mM benzoate or 20 mM salicylate. Remarkably, and in deep contrast to what is known of mammalian and plant enzymes, phosphofructokinase 2 and the low-Km fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase clearly separated from each other in all purification procedures used. A high-Km (approximately equal to 100 microM), apparently specific, fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase was separated by anion-exchange chromatography. This enzyme could play a major role in the physiological degradation of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, which it converts to fructose 6-phosphate and Pi, because it is not inhibited by fructose 6-phosphate, glucose 6-phosphate or Pi. Several other phosphatases able to hydrolyze fructose 2,6-bisphosphate into a mixture of fructose 2-phosphate, fructose 6-phosphate and eventually fructose were identified. They have a low affinity for fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (Km greater than 50 microM), are most active at pH 6 and are deeply inhibited by inorganic phosphate and various phosphate esters.  相似文献

1. Fructose 6-phosphate, 2-kinase and fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase occurred in Euglena gracilis SM-ZK, and is located in cytosol. 2. Fructose 6-phosphate, 2-kinase and fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase were partially purified, and both enzyme activities were not separated during the partial purification. 3. The pH optimum for fructose 6-phosphate, 2-kinase activity was 7.0. The saturation curve of the enzyme activity for ATP concentration was hyperbolic, and the Km value for the substrate was 0.88 mM. On the other hand, the saturation curve of the enzyme activity for fructose 6-phosphate concentration was sigmoidal, and the K0.5 value for the substrate was 70 microM. 4. The pH optimum for fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase activity was 6.5. The saturation curve for fructose 2,6-bisphosphate concentration was sigmoidal, and the K0.5 value for the substrate was 1.29 microM. Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate showed a substrate inhibition at high concentration over 5 microM, and the enzyme activity was completely inhibited by 20 microM of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate.  相似文献

Phosphofructokinase 2 and fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase extracted from either chicken liver or pigeon muscle co-purified up to homogeneity. The two homogeneous proteins were found to be dimers of relative molecular mass (Mr) close to 110,000 with subunits of Mr 54,000 for the chicken liver enzyme and 53,000 for the pigeon muscle enzyme. The latter also contained a minor constituent of Mr 54,000. Incubation of the chicken liver enzyme with the catalytic subunit of cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase in the presence of [gamma-32P]ATP resulted in the incorporation of about 0.8 mol phosphate/mol enzyme. Under similar conditions, the pigeon muscle enzyme was phosphorylated to an extent of only 0.05 mol phosphate/mol enzyme and all the incorporated phosphate was found in the minor 54,000-Mr constituent. The maximal activity of the native avian liver phosphofructokinase 2 was little affected by changes of pH between 6 and 10. Its phosphorylation by cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase resulted in a more than 90% inactivation at pH values below 7.5 and in no or little change in activity at pH 10. Intermediary values of inactivation were observed at pH values between 8 and 10. Muscle phosphofructokinase 2 had little activity at pH below 7 and was maximally active at pH 10. Its partial phosphorylation resulted in a further 25% decrease of its already low activity measured at pH 7.1 and in a negligible inactivation at pH 8.5. Phosphoenolpyruvate and citrate inhibited phosphofructokinase 2 from both origins non-competitively. The muscle enzyme and the phosphorylated liver enzyme displayed much more affinity for these inhibitors than the native liver enzyme. Fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase from both sources had about the same specific activity but only the chicken liver enzyme was activated about twofold upon incubation with ATP and cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase. All enzyme forms were inhibited by fructose 6-phosphate and this inhibition was released by inorganic phosphate and by glycerol 3-phosphate. Both liver and muscle fructose 2,6-bisphosphatases formed a 32P-labeled enzyme intermediate when incubated in the presence of fructose 2,6-[2-32P]bisphosphate.  相似文献

Upon differential centrifugation of cell-free extracts of Trypanosoma brucei, 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase and fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase behaved as cytosolic enzymes. The two activities could be separated from each other by chromatography on both blue Sepharose and anion exchangers. 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase had a Km for both its substrates in the millimolar range. Its activity was dependent on the presence of inorganic phosphate and was inhibited by phosphoenolpyruvate but not by citrate or glycerol 3-phosphate. The Km of fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase was 7 microM; this enzyme was inhibited by fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (Ki = 10 microM) and, less potently, by fructose 6-phosphate, phosphoenolpyruvate and glycerol 3-phosphate. Melarsen oxide inhibited 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase (Ki less than 1 microM) and fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (Ki = 2 microM) much more potently than pyruvate kinase (Ki greater than 100 microM). The intracellular concentrations of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate and hexose 6-phosphate were highest with glucose, intermediate with fructose and lowest with glycerol and dihydroxyacetone as glycolytic substrates. When added with glucose, salicylhydroxamic acid caused a decrease in the concentration of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, ATP, hexose 6-phosphate and fructose 1,6-bisphosphate. These studies indicate that the concentration of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate is mainly controlled by the concentration of the substrates of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase. The changes in the concentration of phosphoenolpyruvate were in agreement with the stimulatory effect of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate on pyruvate kinase. At micromolar concentrations, melarsen oxide blocked almost completely the formation of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate induced by glucose, without changing the intracellular concentrations of ATP and of hexose 6-phosphates. At higher concentrations (3-10 microM), this drug caused cell lysis, a proportional decrease in the glycolytic flux, as well as an increase in the phosphoenolypyruvate concentrations which was restricted to the extracellular compartment. Similar changes were induced by digitonin. It is concluded that the lytic effect of melarsen oxide on the bloodstream form of T. brucei is not the result of an inhibition of pyruvate kinase.  相似文献

Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate is the most potent activator of 6-phosphofructo-1-kinase, a key regulatory enzyme of glycolysis in animal tissues. This study was prompted by the finding that the content of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate in frog skeletal muscle was dramatically increased at the initiation of exercise and was closely correlated with the glycolytic flux during exercise. 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase, the enzyme system catalyzing the synthesis and degradation of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, was purified from frog (Rana esculenta) skeletal muscle and its properties were compared with those of the rat muscle type enzyme expressed in Escherichia coli using recombinant DNA techniques. 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase from frog muscle was purified 5600-fold. 6-Phosphofructo-2-kinase and fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase activities could not be separated, indicating that the frog muscle enzyme is bifunctional. The enzyme preparation from frog muscle showed two bands on sodium dodecylsulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The minor band had a relative molecular mass of 55800 and was identified as a liver (L-type) isoenzyme. It was recognized by an antiserum raised against a specific amino-terminal amino acid sequence of the L-type isoenzyme and was phosphorylated by the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. The major band in the preparations from frog muscle (relative molecular mass = 53900) was slightly larger than the recombinant rat muscle (M-type) isoenzyme (relative molecular mass = 53300). The pH profiles of the frog muscle enzyme were similar to those of the rat M-type isoenzyme, 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase activity was optimal at pH 9.3, whereas fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase activity was optimal at pH 5.5. However, the 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase from frog muscle differed from other M-type isoenzymes in that, at physiological pH, the maximum activity of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase exceeded that of fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase, the activity ratio being 1.7 (at pH 7.2) compared to 0.2 in the rat M-type isoenzyme. 6-Phosphofructo-2-kinase activity from the frog and rat muscle enzymes was strongly inhibited by citrate and by phosphoenolpyruvate whereas glycerol 3-phosphate had no effect. Fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase activity from frog muscle was very sensitive to the non-competitive inhibitor fructose 6-phosphate (inhibitor concentration causing 50% decrease in activity = 2 mol · l-1). The inhibition was counteracted by inorganic phosphate and, particularly, by glycerol 3-phosphate. In the presence of inorganic phosphate and glycerol 3-phosphate the frog muscle fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase was much more sensitive to fructose 6-phosphate inhibition than was the rat M-type fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase. No change in kinetics and no phosphorylation of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase from frog muscle was observed after incubation with protein kinase C and a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase. The kinetics of frog muscle 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase, although they would favour an initial increase in fructose 2,6-bisphosphate in exercising frog muscle, cannot fully account for the changes in fructose 2,6-bisphosphate observed in muscle of exercising frog. Regulatory mechanisms not yet studied must be involved in working frog muscle in vivo.Abbreviations BSA bovine serum albumin - Ca/CAMK Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (EC 2.7.1.37) - CL anti-l-type PFK-21 FBPase-2 antiserum - DTT dithiothreitol - EP phosphorylated enzyme intermediate - FBPase-2 fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (EC 3.1.3.46) - F2,6P2 fructose 2,6-bisphosphate - I0,5 inhibitor concentration required to decrease enzyme activity by 50% - MCL-2 anti-PFK-2/FBPase-2 antiserum - Mr relative molecular mass - PEG polyethylene glycol - PFK-1 6-phosphofructo-1-kinase (EC 2.7.1.11) - PKF-2 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase (EC 2.7.1.105) - PKA protein kinase A = cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (EC 2.7.1.37) - PKC protein kinase C (EC 2.7.1.37) - SDS sodium dodecylsulphate - SDS-PAGE sodium dodecylsulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis - U unit of enzyme activity  相似文献

Optimal conditions necessary for the reversible inactivation of crystalline rabbit muscle phosphofructokinase by homogeneous rabbit liver fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase have been studied. At higher enzyme levels (to 530 mug/ml of phosphofructokinase) the two proteins were mixed and incubated in a pH 7.5 buffer composed of 50 mM Tris-HC1, 2 mM potassium phosphate, and 0.2 mM dithiothreitol. Aliquots were removed at various times and assayed for enzyme activity. A time dependent inactivation of phosphofructokinase caused by 1-2.3 times its weight of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase was observed at 30, 23, and 0 degree C. This inactivation did not require the presence of adenosine 5'-triphosphate or Mg2+ in the incubation mixture, but an adenosine 5'-triphosphate concentration of 2.7 mM or greater was required in the assay to keep phosphofructokinase in an inactive form. A mixture of activators (inorganic phosphate, (NH4)2SO4, and adenosine 5'-monophosphate), when added to the assay cuvette, restored nearly all of the expected enzyme activity. Incubations with other proteins, including aldolase, at concentrations equal to or greater than the effective quantity of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase had no inhibitory effect on phosphofructokinase activity. Removal of tightly bound fructose 1,6-bisphosphate from phosphofructokinase could not explain this inactivation, since several analyses of crystalline phosphofructokinase averaged less than 0.1 mol of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate/320 000 g of enzyme. Furthermore, the inactivation occurred in the absence of Mg2+ where the complete lack of fructose-1-6-bisphosphatase activity was confirmed directly. At lower phosphofructokinase concentrations (0.2-2 mug/ml) the inactivation was studied directly in the assay cuvette. Higher ratios of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase to phosphofructokinase were necessary in these cases, but oleate and 3-phosphoglycerate acted synergistically with lower amounts of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase to cause inactivation. The inactivation did not occur when high concentrations of fructose 6-phosphate were present in the assay, or when the level of adenosine 5'-triphosphate was decreased. However, the inactivation was found at pH 8, where the effects of allosteric regulators on phosphofructokinase are greatly reduced. Experiments with rat liver phosphofructokinase showed that this enzyme was also subject to inhibition by rabbit liver fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase under conditions similar to those used in the muscle enzyme studies. Attempts to demonstrate direct interaction between phosphofructokinase and fructose-1,6-bisphosphate by physical methods were unsuccessful. Nevertheless, our results suggest that, under conditions which approximate the physiological state, the presence of fructose-1,6bisphosphatase can cause phosphofructokinase to assume an inactive conformation. This interaction may have a significant role in vivo in controlling the interrelationship between glycolysis and gluconeogenesis.  相似文献

To identify those residues involved in fructose 6-phosphate binding to the kinase domain of rat liver 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase site-directed mutations were engineered at Lys194, Arg195, Arg230, and Arg238. The mutant enzymes were purified to homogeneity by anion exchange and Blue-Sepharose chromatography and/or substrate elution from phosphocellulose columns. Circular dichroism experiments demonstrated that all of the single amino acid mutations had no effect on the secondary structure of the protein. In addition, when fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase activity was measured, all mutants had Km values for fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, Ki values for fructose 6-phosphate, and maximal velocities similar to that of the wild-type enzyme. Mutation of Arg195----Ala, or His, had little or no effect on the maximal velocity of the kinase but increased the Km for fructose 6-phosphate greater than 3,000-fold. Furthermore, the Ka for phosphate for Arg195Ala was increased 100-fold compared with the wild-type enzyme. Mutation of Lys194----Ala had no effect on maximal velocity or the Km for fructose 6-phosphate. Mutation of either Arg230 or Arg238----Ala increased the maximal velocity and the Km for fructose-6 phosphate of the kinase by 2-3-fold but had no effect on fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase. However, the Km values for ATP of the Arg230Ala and Arg238Ala mutants were 30-40-fold higher than that for the wild-type enzyme. Mutation of Gly48----Ala resulted in a form with no kinase activity, but fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase activity was identical to that of the wild-type enzyme. The results indicate that: 1) Arg195 is a critical residue for the binding of fructose 6-phosphate to the 6-phospho-fructo-2-kinase domain, and that interaction of the sugar phosphate with Arg195 is highly specific since mutation of the adjacent Lys194----Ala had no effect on fructose 6-phosphate binding; 2) Arg195 also play an important role in the binding of inorganic phosphate; and 3) Gly48 is an important residue in the nucleotide binding fold of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase and that both Arg230 and Arg238 are also involved in ATP binding; and 4) the bifunctional enzyme has two separate and independent fructose 6-phosphate binding sites.  相似文献

The effects of various oxyanions on the activities of rat liver 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (EC 2.7.1.105/3.1.3.46) were examined. No evidence could be found for an absolute dependence of the kinase activity on inorganic phosphate as was recently reported by M. Laloux, E. Van Schaftingen, and H.-G. Hers ((1985) Eur. J. Biochem. 148, 155-159). Rather, phosphate and arsenate activated the kinase by decreasing the enzyme's Km for fructose 6-phosphate without affecting its Km for ATP or Vmax. The Km of the kinase for fructose 6-phosphate in the presence of inorganic phosphate was found to be significantly lower (6 microM) than previously reported (30 microM) when the hydrolysis of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate by the concomitant bisphosphatase activity at low Fru 6-P concentrations was taken into account. The KA's for phosphate and arsenate activation of the kinase were 0.2 and 0.3 mM, respectively. A number of other oxyanions, including pyrophosphate, sulfate, tungstate, selenate, and molybdate all inhibited the kinase by increasing the Km for fructose 6-phosphate. The apparent Ki's for inhibition of the kinase were in the 0.5-1 mM range. In contrast, all of these oxyanions activated the bisphosphatase, with half-maximal effects requiring millimolar concentrations. Inorganic phosphate was the most potent activator with a KA of 1 mM. In contrast to the other oxyanions, vanadate and meta-periodate inhibited the kinase but had no effect on the bisphosphatase. Vanadate appeared to be a noncompetitive inhibitor since its effects were not overcome by Pi, ATP, or fructose 6-phosphate, and the species responsible was shown to be decavanadate. Like vanadate, meta-periodate had no effect on the bisphosphatase, though it was a potent inhibitor (I0.5 = 30 microM) of the kinase. Its effects were shown to be time-dependent and reversed by dithiothreitol, suggesting that it acted by an oxidative mechanism. These results augment the mounting body of evidence that the enzyme's two reactions are catalyzed at discrete active sites.  相似文献

Phosphofructokinase from the flight muscle of bumblebee was purified to homogeneity and its molecular and catalytic properties are presented. The kinetic behavior studies at pH 8.0 are consistent with random or compulsory-order ternary complex. At pH 7.4 the enzyme displays regulatory behavior with respect to both substrates, cooperativity toward fructose 6-phosphate, and inhibition by high concentration of ATP. Determinations of glycolytic intermediates in the flight muscle of insects exposed to low and normal temperatures showed statistically significant increases in the concentrations of AMP, fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, and glucose 6-phosphate during flight at 25 degrees C or rest at 5 degrees C. Measuring the activity of phosphofructokinase and fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase at 25 and 7.5 degrees C, in the presence of physiological concentrations of substrates and key effectors found in the muscle of bumblebee kept under different environmental temperatures and activity levels, suggests that the temperature dependence of fructose 6-phosphate/fructose 1,6-bisphosphate cycling may be regulated by fluctuation of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate concentration and changes in the affinity of both enzymes for substrates and effectors. Moreover, in the presence of in vivo concentrations of substrates, phosphofructokinase is inactive in the absence of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate.  相似文献

Phosphofructokinase (EC 2.7.1.11) from a citric acid-producing strain of Aspergillus niger was partially purified by the application of affinity chromatography on Blue Dextran--Sepharose and the use of fructose 6-phosphate and glycerol as stabilizers in the working buffer. The resulting preparation was still impure, but free of enzyme activities interfering with kinetic investigations. Kinetic studies showed that the enzyme exhibits high co-operativity with fructose 6-phosphate, but shows Michaelis--Menten kinetics with ATP, which inhibits at concentrations higher than those for maximal activity. Citrate and phosphoenolpyruvate inhibit the enzyme; citrate increases the substrate (fructose 6-phosphate) concentration for half-maximal velocity, [S]0.5, and the Hill coefficient, h. The inhibition by citrate is counteracted by NH4+, AMP and phosphate. Among univalent cations tested only NH4+ activates by decreasing the [S]0.5 for fructose 6-phosphate and h, but has no effect on Vmax. AMP and ADP activate at low and inhibit at high concentrations of fructose 6-phosphate, thereby decreasing the [S]0.5 for fructose 6-phosphate. Phosphate has no effect in the absence of citrate. The results indicate that phosphofructokinase from A. niger is a distinct species of this enzyme, with some properties similar to those of the yeast enzyme and in some other properties resembling the mammalian enzyme. The results of determinations of activity at substrate and effector concentrations resembling the conditions that occur in vivo support the hypothesis that the apparent insensitivity of the enzyme to citrate during the accumulation of citric acid in the fungus is due to counteraction of citrate inhibition by NH4+.  相似文献

The intragastric administration of ethanol to fed rats caused in their liver, within about 1 h, a 20-fold decrease in the concentration of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, an activation of fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase, an inactivation of phosphofructo-2-kinase but no change in the concentration of cyclic AMP. Incubation of isolated hepatocytes in the presence of ethanol caused a rapid increase in the concentration of sn-glycerol 3-phosphate and a slower and continuous decrease in the concentration of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate with no change in that of hexose 6-phosphates. There was also a relatively slow activation of fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase and inactivation of phosphofructo-2-kinase. Glycerol and acetaldehyde had effects similar to those of ethanol on the concentration of phosphoric esters in the isolated liver cells. 4-Methylpyrazole cancelled the effect of ethanol but reinforced those of acetaldehyde. High concentrations of glucose or of dihydroxyacetone caused an increase in the concentration of hexose 6-phosphates and counteracted the effect of ethanol to decrease the concentration of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate. As a rule, hexose 6-phosphates had a positive effect and sn-glycerol 3-phosphate had a negative effect on the concentration of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate in the liver, so that, at a given concentration of hexose 6-phosphates, there was an inverse relationship between the concentration of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate and that of sn-glycerol 3-phosphate. These effects could be explained by the ability of sn-glycerol 3-phosphate to inhibit phosphofructo-2-kinase and to counteract the inhibition of fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase by fructose 6-phosphate. sn-Glycerol 3-phosphate had also the property to accelerate the inactivation of phosphofructo-2-kinase by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase whereas fructose 2,6-bisphosphate had the opposite effect. The changes in the activity of phosphofructo-2-kinase and fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase appear therefore to be the result rather than the cause of the decrease in the concentration of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate.  相似文献

The sugar phosphate specificity of the active site of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase and of the inhibitory site of fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase was investigated. The Michaelis constants and relative Vmax values of the sugar phosphates for the 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase were: D-fructose 6-phosphate, Km = 0.035 mM, Vmax = 1; L-sorbose 6-phosphate, Km = 0.175 mM, Vmax = 1.1; D-tagatose 6-phosphate, Km = 15 mM, Vmax = 0.15; and D-psicose 6-phosphate, Km = 7.4 mM, Vmax = 0.42. The enzyme did not catalyze the phosphorylation of 1-O-methyl-D-fructose 6-phosphate, alpha- and beta-methyl-D-fructofuranoside 6-phosphate, 2,5-anhydro-D-mannitol 6-phosphate, D-ribose 5-phosphate, or D-arabinose 5-phosphate. These results indicate that the hydroxyl group at C-3 of the tetrahydrofuran ring must be cis to the beta-anomeric hydroxyl group and that the hydroxyl group at C-4 must be trans. The presence of a hydroxymethyl group at C-2 is required; however, the orientation of the phosphonoxymethyl group at C-5 has little effect on activity. Of all the sugar monophosphates tested, only 2,5-anhydro-D-mannitol 6-phosphate was an effective inhibitor of the kinase with a Ki = 95 microM. The sugar phosphate specificity for the inhibition of the fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase was similar to the substrate specificity for the kinase. The apparent I0.5 values for inhibition were: D-fructose 6-phosphate, 0.01 mM; L-sorbose 6-phosphate, 0.05 mM; D-psicose 6-phosphate, 1 mM; D-tagatose 6-phosphate, greater than 2 mM; 2,5-anhydro-D-mannitol 6-phosphate, 0.5 mM. 1-O-Methyl-D-fructose 6-phosphate, alpha- and beta-methyl-D-fructofuranoside 6-phosphate, and D-arabinose 5-phosphate did not inhibit. Treatment of the enzyme with iodoacetamide decreased sugar phosphate affinity in the kinase reaction but had no effect on the sensitivity of fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase to sugar phosphate inhibition. The results suggest a high degree of homology between two separate sugar phosphate binding sites for the bifunctional enzyme.  相似文献

Lys-356 has been implicated as a critical residue for binding the C-6 phospho group of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate to the fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase domain of rat liver 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (Li, L., Lin, K., Correia, J., and Pilkis, S. J. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 16669-16675). To ascertain whether the three other basic residues (Arg-352, Arg-358, and Arg-360), which are located in a surface loop (residues 331-362) which contains Lys-356, are important in substrate binding, these arginyl residues were mutated to Ala, and each arginyl mutant was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity. The far UV circular dichroism spectra of the mutants were identical to that of the wild-type enzyme. The kinetic parameters of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase of the mutants revealed only small changes. However, the Km for fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, Ki for fructose 6-phosphate, and Ka for inorganic phosphate of fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase for Arg352Ala were, respectively, 2,800-, 4,500-, and 1,500-fold higher than those for the wild-type enzyme, whereas there was no change in the maximal velocity or the Ki for inorganic phosphate. The Km for fructose 2,6-bisphosphate and Ki for inorganic phosphate of Arg360Ala were 10- and 12-fold higher, respectively, than those of the wild-type enzyme, whereas the maximal velocity and Ki for fructose 6-phosphate were unchanged. In addition, substrate inhibition was not observed with Arg352Ala and greatly reduced with Arg360Ala. The properties of the Arg358Ala mutant were identical to those of the wild-type enzyme. The results demonstrate that in addition to Lys-356, Arg-352 is another critical residue in fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase for binding the C-6 phospho group of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate and that Arg-360 binds the C-2 phospho group of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate in the phosphoenzyme.fructose 2,6-bisphosphate complex. The results also provide support for Arg-352, Lys-356, and Arg-360 constituting a specificity pocket for fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase.  相似文献

Fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase was purified from yeast and separated from 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase and alkaline phosphatase. The enzyme released Pi from the 2-position of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate and formed fructose 6-phosphate in stoichiometric amounts. The enzyme displays hyperbolic kinetics towards fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, with a Km value of 0.3 microM. It is strongly inhibited by fructose 6-phosphate. The inhibition is counteracted by L-glycerol 3-phosphate. Phosphorylation of the enzyme by cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase causes inactivation, which is reversible by the action of protein phosphatase 2A.  相似文献

Lysine 356 has been implicated by protein modification studies as a fructose-2,6-bisphosphate binding site residue in the 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase domain of rat liver 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (Kitajima, S., Thomas, H., and Uyeda, K. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 13995-14002). However, Lys-356 is found in the fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase domain (Bazan, F., Fletterick, R., and Pilkis, S. J. (1989) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 86, 9642-9646). In order to ascertain whether Lys-356 is involved in fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase catalysis and/or domain/domain interactions of the bifunctional enzyme, Lys-356 was mutated to Ala, expressed in Escherichia coli, and then purified to homogeneity. Circular dichroism experiments indicated that the secondary structure of the Lys-356-Ala mutant was not significantly different from that of the wild-type enzyme. The Km for fructose 2,6-bisphosphate and the Ki for the noncompetitive inhibitor, fructose 6-phosphate, for the fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase of the Lys-356-Ala mutant were 2700- and 2200-fold higher, respectively, than those of the wild-type enzyme. However, the maximal velocity and the Ki for the competitive product inhibitor, inorganic phosphate, were unchanged compared to the corresponding values of the wild-type enzyme. Furthermore, in contrast to the wild-type enzyme, which exhibits substrate inhibition, there was no inhibition by substrate of the Lys-356-Ala mutant. In the presence of saturating substrate, inorganic phosphate, which acts by relieving fructose-6-phosphate and substrate inhibition, is an activator of the bisphosphatase. The Ka for inorganic phosphate of the Lys-356-Ala mutant was 1300-fold higher than that of the wild-type enzyme. The kinetic properties of the 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase of the Lys-356-Ala mutant were essentially identical with that of the wild-type enzyme. The results demonstrate that: 1) Lys-356 is a critical residue in fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase for binding the 6-phospho group of fructose 6-phosphate/fructose 2,6-bisphosphate; 2) the fructose 6-phosphate binding site is responsible for substrate inhibition; 3) Inorganic phosphate activates fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase by competing with fructose 6-phosphate for the same site; and 4) Lys-356 is not involved in 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase substrate/product binding or catalysis.  相似文献

Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate is a powerful activator of yeast phosphofructokinase when assayed at pH levels of ≥7.0. Half maximal stimulation of enzyme activity occurs at 10?7 M levels of Fru 2,6-P2 concentration. This stimulating effect by Fru 2,6-P2 can be synergistic to that exerted by AMP in counteracting the inhibition of phosphofructokinase activity by ATP. The affinity (S0.5) of the yeast enzyme to fructose 6-phosphate changes from 1.5 mM in the absence of Fru 2,6-P2 to 40 μM in its presence.  相似文献

6-Phosphofructo-2-kinase and fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase activities were copurified to homogeneity from bovine liver. The purification scheme consisted of polyethylene glycol precipitation, anion-exchange and Blue-Sepharose chromatography, substrate elution from phosphocellulose, and gel filtration. The bifunctional enzyme had an apparent molecular weight of 102,000 and consisted of two subunits (Mr 49,000). The kinase had a Km for ATP of 12 microM and a S0.5 for fructose 6-phosphate of 150 microM while the bisphosphatase had a Km for fructose 2,6-bisphosphate of 7 microM. Both activities were subject to modulation by various effectors. Inorganic phosphate stimulated both activities, while alpha-glycerolphosphate inhibited the kinase and stimulated the bisphosphatase. The pH optimum for the 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase activity was 8.5, while the fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase reaction was maximal at pH 6.5. Incubation of the purified enzyme with [gamma-32P]ATP and the catalytic subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase resulted in 32P incorporation to the extent of 0.7 mol/mol enzyme subunit with concomitant inhibition of the kinase activity and activation of the bisphosphatase activity. The mediation of the bisphosphatase reaction by a phosphoenzyme intermediate was suggested by the isolation of a stable labeled phosphoenzyme when the enzyme was incubated with fructose 2,6-[2-32P]bisphosphate. The pH dependence of hydrolysis of the phospho group suggested that it was linked to the N3 of a histidyl residue. The 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase from bovine liver has properties essentially identical to those of the rat liver enzyme, suggesting that hepatic fructose 2,6-bisphosphate metabolism is under the same control in both species.  相似文献

Glucagon addition to isolated hepatocytes from fed rats resulted in an inhibition of the activity of phosphofructokinase measured in extracts of the cells. Glucagon caused a shift in the fructose 6-phosphate concentration curve to the right resulting in an increase in the K0.5 for F6P from 0.09 mM to 0.31 mM. No effect of glucagon was seen when the enzyme was assayed with saturating concentrations of fructose 6-phosphate or in the presence of 1 mM AMP. The effect of glucagon was seen within minutes and the concentration of hormone giving half-maximal inhibition was 0.2 nM. This effect of glucagon on phosphofructokinase activity may contribute to the effect of glucagon on substrate cycling at the fructose 6-phosphate-fructose bisphosphate level.  相似文献

Pyrophosphate-dependent phosphofructokinase (PPi-PFK) was purified from the mung bean Phaseolus aureus. The enzyme is activated by fructose 2,6-bisphosphate at nanomolar concentrations. The enzyme exhibits Michaelis-Menten kinetics, and the reaction mechanism, deduced from initial velocity studies in the absence of inhibitors as well as product and dead-end inhibition studies, is rapid equilibrium random in the presence and absence of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate. In the direction of fructose 6-phosphate phosphorylation, saturating fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (1 microM) increases V congruent to 9-fold and increases V/KMgPPi and V/KF6P about 30-fold. In the reverse direction (phosphate phosphorylation), the same concentration of activator has little if any effect on V or the Km for inorganic phosphate (Pi) and Mg2+ but does increase V/KFBP about 42-fold. No changes were observed in any of the other rate constants. The binding affinity of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate to all enzyme forms is identical. The activator site of the mung bean PPi-PFK binds fructose 2,6-bisphosphate with a Kact of 30 nM with the 2,5-anhydro-D-glucitol 1,6-bisphosphate (the most effective analogue) 33-fold less tightly. Of the alkanediol bisphosphate series, 1,4-butanediol bisphosphate exhibited the tightest binding (Kact congruent to 3 microM). These and a series of other activating analogues are discussed in relation to the activator site.  相似文献
