The kinetic properties of phosphofructokinase from muscle of the giant cirripede Austromegabalanus psittacus were characterized, after partial purification by ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. This enzyme showed differences regarding PFKs from other marine invertebrates: the affinity for fructose 6-phosphate (Fru 6-P) was very low, with an S(0.5) of 22.6+/-1.4 mM (mean+/-S.D., n=3), and a high cooperativity (n(H) of 2.90+/-0.21; mean+/-S.D., n=3). The barnacle PFK showed hyperbolic saturation kinetics for ATP (apparent K(m ATP)=70 microM, at 5 mM Fru 6-P, in the presence of 2 mM ammonium sulfate). ATP concentrations higher than 1 mM inhibited the enzyme. Ammonium sulfate activated the PFK several folds, increasing the affinity of the enzyme for Fru 6-P and V(max). 5'-AMP (0.2 mM) increased the affinity for Fru 6-P (S(0.5) of 6.2 mM). Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate activated the PFK, with a maximal activation at concentrations higher than 2 microM. Citrate reverted the activation of PFK produced by 0.2 mM 5'-AMP (IC(50 citrate)=2.0 mM), producing a higher inhibition than that exerted on other invertebrate PFKs. Barnacle muscular PFK was activated in vitro after exposure to exogenous cyclic-AMP (0.1 mM) as well as by phosphatidylserine (50 microg/ml), indicating a possible control by protein kinase A and a phospholipid dependent protein kinase (PKC). The results suggest a highly regulated enzyme in vivo, by allosteric mechanisms and also by protein phosphorylation.  相似文献

The regulatory properties of citrate on the activity of phosphofructokinase (PFK) purified from rat-kidney cortex has been studied. Citrate produces increases in the K0.5 for Fru-6-P and in the Hill coefficient as well as a decrease in the Vmax of the reaction without affecting the kinetic parameters for ATP as substrate. ATP potentiates synergistically the effects of citrate as an inhibitor of the enzyme. Fru-2,6-P2 and AMP at concentrations equal to Ka were not able to completely prevent citrate inhibition of the enzyme. Physiological concentrations of ATP and citrate produce a strong inhibition of renal PFK suggesting that may participate in the control of glycolysisin vivo.Abbreviations PFK 6-Phosphofructo-1-kinase (EC 2.7.1.11) - Fru-6-P Fructose 6-phosphate - Fru-2,6-P2 Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate  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

In the absence of added calcium, inhibition of NAD-specific isocitrate dehydrogenase by ATP occurred without ADP (I0.5 = 1.8 mM) and with 0.2 mM ADP3- (I0.5 = 1.0 mM) at subsaturating substrate concentrations at pH 7.4. Inhibition by ATP was competitive with NAD+ in the presence and absence of ADP and was not reversed by magnesium citrate. No reversal of ATP inhibition by free Ca2+ was observed in the presence of ADP (0.2 mM). However, when ADP was absent, increasing Ca2+ first caused progressive reversal of ATP inhibition followed by activation by ATP. Without ADP, the S0.5 for calcium activation was 80-140 microM at ATP concentrations between 0.6 and 3.0 mM. The S0.5 for ATP activation, in the absence of ADP, was 1.1 and 2.1 microM when free Ca2+ was held constant at 0.1 and 1.0 mM, respectively. As in activation by ADP, ATP decreased the S0.5 for magnesium isocitrate without affecting V. However, in contrast to ADP, the activation by ATP occurred without lowering the Hill coefficient for the substrate. GDP activated the enzyme at relatively high concentrations of Ca2+ but not without added Ca2+.  相似文献

Previous analyses of glycolytic metabolites in Artemia embryos indicate that an acute inhibition of glucose phosphorylation occurs during pHi-mediated metabolic arrest under anoxia. We describe here kinetic features of hexokinase purified from brine shrimp embryos in an attempt to explain the molecular basis for this inhibition. At saturating concentrations of cosubstrate, ADP is an uncompetitive inhibitor toward glucose and a partial noncompetitive inhibitor toward ATP (Kis = 0.86 mM, Kii = 1.0 mM, Kid = 1.9 mM). With cosubstrates at subsaturating concentrations, the uncompetitive inhibition versus glucose becomes noncompetitive, while inhibition versus ATP remains partial noncompetitive. The partial noncompetitive inhibition of ADP versus ATP is characterized by a hyperbolic intercept replot. These product inhibition patterns are consistent with a random mechanism of enzyme action that follows the preferred order of glucose binding first and glucose-6-P dissociating last. We propose that inhibition by glucose-6-P (Kis = 65 microM) occurs primarily by competing with ATP at the active site, resulting in the formation of the dead-end complex, enzyme-glucose-glucose-6-P. Versus glucose, inhibition by glucose-6-P is uncompetitive at pH 8.0 and noncompetitive at pH 6.8. Over a physiologically relevant pH range of 8.0 to 6.8 alterations in Km and Ki values do not account for the reduction in glucose phosphorylation, and no evidence suggests that Artemia hexokinase activity is modulated by reversible binding to intracellular structures. Total aluminum in the embryos is 4.01 +/- 0.36 micrograms/g dry weight, or, based upon tissue hydration, 72 microM. This concentration of aluminum dramatically reduces enzyme activity at pH values less than 7.2, even in the presence of physiological metal ion chelators (citrate, phosphate). When pH, aluminum, citrate, phosphate, substrates, and products were maintained at cellular levels measured under anoxia, we can account for a 90% inhibition of hexokinase relative to activity under control (aerobic) conditions.  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

The effect of natural "activation factor" and synthetic fructose-2,6-P2 on the allosteric kinetic properties of liver and muscle phosphofructokinases was investigated. Both synthetic and natural fructose-2,6-P2 show identical effects on the allosteric kinetic properties of both enzymes. Fructose-2,6-P2 counteracts inhibition by ATP and citrate and decreases the Km for fructose-6-P. This fructose ester also acts synergistically with AMP in releasing ATP inhibition. The Km values of liver and muscle phosphofructokinase for fructose-2,6-P2 in the presence of 1.25 mM ATP are 12 milliunits/ml (or 24 nM) and 5 milliunits/ml (or 10 nM), respectively. At near physiological concentrations of ATP (3 mM) and fructose-6-P (0.2 mM), however, the Km values for fructose-2,6-P2 are increased to 12 microM and 0.8 microM for liver and muscle enzymes, respectively. Thus, fructose-2,6-P2 is the most potent activator of the enzyme compared to other known activators such as fructose-1,6-P2. The rates of the reaction catalyzed by the enzymes under the above conditions are nonlinear: the rates decelerate in the absence or in the presence of lower concentrations of fructose-2,6-P2, but the rates become linear in the presence of higher concentrations of fructose-2,6-P2. Fructose-2,6-P2 also protects phosphofructokinase against inactivation by heat. Fructose-2,6-P2, therefore, may be the most important allosteric effector in regulation of phosphofructokinase in liver as well as in other tissues.  相似文献

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

Electrophoretically homogeneous phosphoglucomutase (PGM) with specific activity of 3.6 units/mg protein was isolated from pea (Pisum sativum L.) chloroplasts. The molecular mass of this PGM determined by gel-filtration is 125 +/- 4 kD. According to SDS-PAGE, the molecular mass of subunits is 65 +/- 3 kD. The Km for glucose-1-phosphate is 18.0 +/- 0.5 microM, and for glucose-1, 6-diphosphate it is 33 +/- 0.7 microM. At glucose-1-phosphate and glucose-1,6-diphosphate concentrations above 0.5 and 0.2 mM, respectively, substrate inhibition is observed. The enzyme has optimum activity at pH 7.9 and 35 degrees C. Mg2+ activates the PGM. Mn2+ activates the enzyme at concentrations below 0.2 mM, while higher concentrations have an inhibitory effect. The activity of the PGM is affected by 6-phosphogluconate, fructose-6-phosphate, NAD+, ATP, ADP, citrate, and isocitrate.  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 effects of insulin and increased cardiac work on glycolytic rate, metabolite content, and fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6-P2) content were studied in isolated perfused rat hearts. Steady-state rates of glycolysis increased 5-fold with the addition of insulin to the perfusate or by increasing cardiac pressure-volume work and correlated well in most conditions with changes in substrate concentration (Fru-6-P) and with concentration of the activator, Fru-2,6-P2. There was no correlation with changes in other well known regulators including citrate, ATP, AMP, Pi, or cytosolic phosphorylation potential. Using phosphofructokinase purified from hearts perfused under identical conditions, allosteric kinetic experiments were performed using the metabolite and effector concentrations determined from in vivo experiments. Reaction rates for phosphofructokinase calculated in vitro agreed well with the glycolytic rates measured in vivo and correlated with changes in Fru-6-P but not with other effectors. However, higher Fru-2,6-P2 levels were more effective in maintaining phosphofructokinase activity at high ATP and citrate levels. Kinetic experiments did not indicate a covalent modification of phosphofructokinase. These data indicate that control of cardiac phosphofructokinase and glycolysis may be accomplished by changes in the availability of substrate, Fru-6-P, and activator, Fru-2,6-P2, rather than by citrate, adenine nucleotides, or cytosolic phosphorylation potential as previously suggested.  相似文献

Arg252 of fructose-6-phosphate 1-kinase (PFK) from Bacillus stearothermophilus has been proposed to be involved in the binding of the substrate Fru-6-P. We demonstrate here that mutation of this residue to alanine converts the enzyme to a form with characteristics similar to those of its allosterically tight form. The mutant enzyme exhibits a high affinity for its inhibitor phosphoenolpyruvate (a 68-fold difference compared to wild type) and a dramatically decreased Fru-6-P affinity (1500-fold increase in Km). It is more sensitive to inhibition by high ATP concentrations than the wild type, and this inhibition is relieved by ADP, GDP, or higher Fru-6-P concentrations. In contrast, mutation of Arg252 to lysine increases the affinity of the enzyme for P-enolpyruvate by only 2-fold and increases its Km for Fru-6-P by only 50-fold. Sigmoidal kinetics with respect to Fru-6-P in the presence of P-enolpyruvate were observed with Hill numbers of 2.2, 2.4, and 1.7 for wild-type B. stearothermophilus PFK and the Arg252 to lysine and to alanine mutations, respectively. Unlike fructose-6-phosphate 1-kinase from Escherichia coli, in the absence of P-enolpyruvate, B. stearothermophilus PFK exhibits a hyperbolic profile with respect to Fru-6-P concentration. B. stearothermophilus PFK is sensitive to inhibition by high ATP concentrations and competitively inhibited by GDP or ADP. Our data indicate that Arg252 of B. stearothermophilus PFK plays a major role in both Fru-6-P binding and allosteric interaction between the subunits. However, this residue does not seem to participate directly in the catalytic process.  相似文献

In the absence of AMP and Fru-2,6-P2, several amino-acids such as histidine, lysine, alanine, aspartic acid, and other molecules, as reduced glutathione or citrate, activate FBPase-1 from Mytilus galloprovincialis mantle. AMP decreases Vmax and Km for Fru-1,6-P2 both in the absence and in the presence of activators; but the addition of Fru-2,6-P2 decreases the affinity of the enzyme by its substrate. Na+ acts as a inhibitor reducing both Vmax and Km. The Km value is lower than the physiological level of Fru-1,6-P2, suggesting that the enzyme is operative but its activity is very reduced.  相似文献

Partially purified fructose-6-P,2-kinase:fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase from beef heart was phosphorylated by cAMP protein kinase. The phosphorylated fructose-6-P,2-kinase shows lower Km for Fru-6-P (43 versus 105 microM) and for ATP (0.55 versus 1.3 mM) but no change in the Vmax, compared to those for unphosphorylated enzyme. There was no detectable change in Km or Vmax of fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase activity by the phosphorylation. These changes in heart fructose-6-P,2-kinase were in direct contrast to previous results for the liver isozyme in which phosphorylation led to inhibition of the kinase activity and activation of the phosphatase activity.  相似文献

The specificities of cAMP-dependent and cGMP-dependent protein kinases were studied using synthetic peptides corresponding to the phosphorylation site in 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/Fru-2,6-P2ase (Murray, K.J., El-Maghrabi, M.R., Kountz, P.D., Lukas, T.J., Soderling, T.R., and Pilkis, S.J. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 7673-7681) as substrates. The peptide Val-Leu-Gln-Arg-Arg-Arg-Gly-Ser-Ser-Ile-Pro-Gln was phosphorylated by the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase on predominantly the first of its 2 seryl residues. The Km (4 microM) and Vmax (14 mumol/min/mg) values were comparable to those for the phosphorylation of this site within native 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/Fru-2,6-P2ase. An analog peptide containing only two arginines was phosphorylated with poorer kinetic constants than was the parent peptide. These results suggest that the amino acid sequence at its site of phosphorylation is a major determinant that makes 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/Fru-2,6-P2ase an excellent substrate for cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Although 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/Fru-2,6-P2ase was not phosphorylated by cGMP-dependent protein kinase, the synthetic peptide corresponding to the cAMP-dependent phosphorylation site was a relatively good substrate (Km = 33 microM, Vmax = 1 mumol/min/mg). Thus, structures other than the primary sequence at the phosphorylation site must be responsible for the inability of cGMP-dependent protein kinase to phosphorylate native 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/Fru-2,6-P2ase. Peptides containing either a -Ser-Ser- or -Thr-Ser- moiety were all phosphorylated by cGMP-dependent kinase to 1.0 mol of phosphate/mol of peptide, but the phosphate was distributed between the two hydroxyamino acids. Substitution of a proline in place of the glycine between the three arginines and these phosphorylatable amino acids caused the protein kinase selectively to phosphorylate the threonyl or first seryl residue and also enhanced the Vmax values by 4-6-fold. These results are consistent with a role for proline in allowing an adjacent threonyl residue to be readily phosphorylated by cGMP-dependent protein kinase.  相似文献

The pyruvate kinase (ATP: pyruvate 2-O-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.40) from Streptococcus lactis C10 had an obligatory requirement for both a monovalent cation and divalent cation. NH+4 and K+ activated the enzyme in a sigmoidal manner (nH =1.55) at similar concentrations, whereas Na+ and Li+ could only weakly activate the enzyme. Of eight divalent cations studied, only three (Co2+, Mg2+ and Mn2+) activated the enzyme. The remaining five divalent cations (Cu2+, Zn2+, Ca2+, Ni2+ and Ba2+) inhibited the Mg2+ activated enzyme to varying degrees. (Cu2+ completely inhibited activity at 0.1 mM while Ba2+, the least potent inhibitor, caused 50% inhibition at 3.2 mM). In the presence of 1 mM fructose 1,6-diphosphate (Fru-1,6-P2) the enzyme showed a different kinetic response to each of the three activating divalent cations. For Co2+, Mn2+ and Mg2+ the Hill interaction coefficients (nH) were 1.6, 1.7 and 2.3 respectively and the respective divalent cation concentrations required for 50% maximum activity were 0.9, 0.46 and 0.9 mM. Only with Mn2+ as the divalent cation was there significatn activity in the absence of Fru-1,6-P2. When Mn2+ replaced Mg2+, the Fru-1,6-P2 activation changed from sigmoidal (nH = 2.0) to hyperbolic (nH = 1.0) kinetics and the Fru-1,6-P2 concentration required for 50% maximum activity decreased from 0.35 to 0.015 mM. The cooperativity of phosphoenolpyruvate binding increased (nH 1.2 to 1.8) and the value of the phosphoenolpyruvate concentration giving half maximal velocity decreased (0.18 to 0.015 mM phosphoenolyruvate) when Mg2+ was replaced by Mn2+ in the presence of 1 mM Fru-1,6-P2. The kinetic response to ADP was not altered significantly when Mn2+ was substituted for Mg2+. The effects of pH on the binding of phosphoenolpyruvate and Fru-1,6-P2 were different depending on whether Mg2+ or Mn2+ was the divalent cation.  相似文献

1. Activation of glucose 6-phosphate is one of the unique properties of pyruvate kinase from Mycobacterium smegmatis. 2. Pyruvate kinase, partially purified from ultrasonic extracts of the mycobacteria by (NH4)2SO4 fractionation, exhibited sigmoidal kinetics at various concentrations of phosphoenolpyruvate, with a high degree of co-operativity (Hill coefficient, h = 3.7) and S0.5 value of 1.0 mM. 3. In the presence of glucose 6-phosphate, the degree of co-operativity shown by the phosphoenolpyruvate saturation curve was decreased to h = 2.33 and the S0.5 value was lowered to 0.47 mM. 4. The enzyme was activated by AMP and ribose 5-phosphate also, but the activation constant was lowest with glucose 6-phosphate (0.24 mM). 5. The enzyme was strongly inhibited by ATP at all phosphoenolpyruvate concentrations. The concentrations of ATP required to produce half-maximal inhibition of enzyme activity at non-saturating (0.2 mM) and saturating (2 mM) phosphoenolpyruvate concentrations were 1.1 mM and 3 mM respectively. 6. The inhibition of ATP was partially relieved by glucose 6-phosphate. 7. The enzyme exhibited Michaelis-Menten kinetics with ADP as the variable substrate, with an apparent Km of 0.66 mM. 8. The enzyme required Mg2+ or Mn2+ ions for activity. It was not activated by univalent cations. 9. The kinetic data indicate that under physiological conditions glucose 6-phosphate probably plays a significant role in the regulation of pyruvate kinase activity.  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

Acetyl phosphate is hydrolyzed by the calcium ATPase of leaky sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles from rabbit skeletal muscle with Km = 6.5 mM and kcat = 7.9 s-1 in the presence of 100 microM calcium (180 mM K+, 5 mM MgSO4, pH 7.0, 25 degrees C). In the absence of calcium, hydrolysis is 6% of the calcium-dependent rate at low and 24% at saturating concentrations of acetyl phosphate. Values of K0.5 for calcium are 3.5 and 2.2 microM (n = 1.6) in the presence of 1 and 50 mM acetyl phosphate, respectively; inhibition by calcium follows K0.5 = 1.6 mM (n approximately 1.1) with 50 mM acetyl phosphate and K0.5 = 0.5 mM (n approximately 1.3) with 1.5 mM ATP. The calcium-dependent rate of phosphoenzyme formation from acetyl phosphate is consistent with Km = 43 mM and kf = 32 s-1 at saturation; decomposition of the phosphoenzyme occurs with kt = 16 s-1. The maximum fraction of phosphoenzyme formed in the steady state at saturating acetyl phosphate concentrations is 43-46%. These results are consistent with kc congruent to 30 s-1 for binding of Ca2+ to E at saturating [Ca2+], to give cE.Ca2, in the absence of activation by ATP. Phosphoenzyme formed from ATP and from acetyl phosphate shows the same biphasic reaction with ADP, rate constants for decomposition that are the same within experimental error, and similar or identical activation of decomposition by ATP. It is concluded that the reaction pathways for acetyl phosphate and ATP in the presence of Ca2+ are the same, with the exception of calcium binding and phosphorylation; an alternative, faster route that avoids the kc step is available in the presence of ATP. The existence of three different regions of dependence on ATP concentration for steady state turnover is confirmed; activation of hydrolysis at high ATP concentrations involves an ATP-induced increase in kt.  相似文献

Fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase-2) from the mantle tissue of the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis shows a hyperbolic kinetic with a Km value (0.40 mM) for its substrate, that suggest that the "in vivo" Fru-2,6-P2 concentration is not a limiting factor for activity. The enzyme possesses an optimum pH for activity between 6 and 7 units, similar to the reached in mussel mantle during physiological hypoxia. The modulation of activity by the pH, and in addition, the positive effect of ATP are in keeping with the little decrease in concentration of the Fru-2,6-P2 that occurs during the first hour of hypoxia due to the valve closure.  相似文献
