Glycolysis from [6-(3)H]glucose and gluconeogenesis from [U-(14)C]glycerol were examined in isolated hepatocytes from fasted rats. A 5 mm bolus of glycerol inhibited phosphorylation of 40 mm glucose by 50% and glycolysis by more than 60%, and caused cellular ATP depletion and glycerol 3-phosphate accumulation. Gluconeogenesis from 5 mm glycerol was unaffected by the presence of 40 mm glucose. When nonsaturating concentrations of glycerol (< 200 microm) were maintained in the medium by infusion of glycerol, cellular ATP concentrations remained normal. The rate of uptake of infused glycerol was unaffected by 40 mm glucose, but carbohydrate synthesis from glycerol was inhibited 25%, a corresponding amount of glycerol being diverted to glycolytic products, whereas 10 mm glucose had no inhibitory effect on conversion of infused glycerol into carbohydrate. Glycerol infusion depressed glycolysis from 10 mm and 40 mm glucose by 15 and 25%, respectively; however, the overall rates of glycolysis were unchanged because of a concomitant increase in glycolysis from the infused glycerol. These studies show that exposure of hepatocytes to glucose and low quasi-steady-state concentrations of glycerol result in the simultaneous occurrence, at substantial rates, of glycolysis from glucose and gluconeogenesis from the added glycerol. We interpret our results as demonstrating that, in hepatocytes from normal rats, segments of the pathways of glycolysis from glucose and gluconeogenesis from glycerol are compartmentalized and that this segregation prevents substantial cross-over of phosphorylated intermediates from one pathway to the other. The competition between glucose and glycerol implies that glycolysis and phosphorylation of glycerol take place in the same cells, and that the occurrence of simultaneous glycolysis and gluconeogenesis may indicate channelling within the cytoplasm of individual hepatocytes. 相似文献

Glycerol, glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P), and dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) were evaluated as inhibitors of gluconeogenesis on rat liver enzymes in vitro, and for their effects on glucose formation in vivo in well-nourished and malnourished rats. DHAP was more potent as an inhibitor than G3P on fructose-1,6-diphosphatase (FDPase), phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK), and glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase). The I50 for DHAP was 2, 8, and 9 x 10(-3) M, respectively. No effect was observed on rat liver pyruvate carboxylase (PC). Glycerol was a weak inhibitor of FDPase and PEPCK, but did not inhibit PC and G6Pase. In vivo, when G3P was injected before a parenteral L-alanine (Ala) challenge, it produced a hypoglycemic effect in malnourished rats and a lesser, but noticeable, blood glucose level reduction in well-fed animals. Glycerol caused a smaller reduction in glucose formation from Ala. No comparable effects were observed after a fructose pretreatment. These results underscore the potential hypoglycemic effects of phosphorylated glycerol metabolites and identify the steps in gluconeogenesis where this action is exerted. The study also stresses the nutritional component in the glycerol intolerance syndrome, apparent from the far more severe effects observed in malnourished rats given G3P or glycerol prior to Ala. 相似文献

Pyrophosphate-dependent phosphofructokinase from pollen: properties and possible roles in sugar metabolism 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
To evaluate the role of pyrophosphate-dependent phosphofructokinase (PFP. EC 2.7.1.90) in the sugar metabolism of pollen. its occurrence and properties were studied in pollen grains of several plants including camellia ( Camellia japonica L.). In all pollen samples, PFP was strongly activated by fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (F2,6BP), and the activity of F2,6BP-activated PFP was higher than that of phosphofructokinase (PFK. EC 2.7.1.11). PFP partially purified from camellia pollen required Mg2+ for activity with an optimum at 1 m M . and was almost unaflected by a variety of metabolites at 1 m M . Its molecular mass was around 220 kDa, and apparent Km values for F6P, PPi . F1, 6BP and Pi were 294, 4, 20 and 580 u M , respectively. The levels of F2.6BP. PPi and F6P in camellia pollen were sufficent to support the forward reaction by PFP, and PFP, was 20- to 40-fold more active than PFK during pollen growth. These results suggest that pollen PFP plays a role in glycolysis but not gluconeogenesis. and the possible relevance of this to pollen tube growth is discussed. 相似文献

The effect of fructose 2,6-P2, AMP and substrates on the coordinate inhibition of FBPase and activation of PFK in swine kidney has been examined. Fructose 2,6-P2 inhibits the activity of FBPase and stimulates the activity of PFK in the presence of inhibitory concentrations of ATP. Under similar conditions 2.2 μM fructose 2,6-P2 was required for 50% inhibition of FBPase and 0.04 μM fructose 2,6-P2 restored 50% of the activity of PFK. Fructose 2,6-P2 also enhanced the allosteric activation of PFK by AMP and it increased the extent of inhibition of FBPase by AMP. Fructose 2,6-P2, AMP and fructose 6-P act cooperatively to stimulate the activity of PFK whereas the same latter two effectors and fructose 1,6-P2 inhibit the activity of FBPase. Taken collectively, these results suggest that an increase in the intracellular level of fructose 2,6-P2 during gluconeogenesis could effectively overcome the inhibition of PFK by ATP and simulataneously inactivate FBPase. When the level of fructose 2,6-P2 is low, a glycolytic state would be restored, since under these conditions PFK would be inhibited by ATP and FBPase would be active. 相似文献

Fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) from the larvae of the gall moth, Epiblema scudderiana, was purified to homogeneity with a final specific activity of 1.6 U/mg protein. The enzyme had a native molecular weight of 74.0 ± 6.5 kD and a subunit molecular weight of 37.6 ± 3.0 kD; the dimeric structure of the enzyme in this species is unusual. The pH optimum was 7.00 in imidazole buffer at 22°C and rose to 7.31 at 5°C. An Arrhenius plot of enzyme activity vs. temperature was linear with an activation energy of 91 ± 4.1 kJ/mol?1. Km values for FBPase decreased from 4.7 ± 0.34 μM at 22°C to 1.3 ± 0.05 μM at 5°C. No allosteric activators were identified, but the enzyme was inhibited by fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (F2,6P2), AMP, ADP, dihydroxyacetonephosphate, glycerol, and KCI. Inhibition by AMP and F2,6P2 increased at low temperature, and effects of these compounds may be key to preventing futile cycling of carbon at the FBPase/phosphofructokinase loci during the biosynthesis of glycerol cryoprotectant. Oppositely, glycerol clearance in the spring and reconversion into glycogen is promoted by interactions of temperature, inhibitors, and glycerol that promote FBPase activity: I50 values for AMP and F2,6P2 increase at 22°C (compared with 5°C), high glycerol levels override F2,6P2 inhibition of the enzyme, and deinhibitors (ATP, citrate) partially reverse AMP inhibition of the enzyme. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

The chloroplastic and cytosolic forms of spinach (Spinacia oleracea cv Long Standing Bloomsdale) leaf NADH:dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) reductase were separated and partially purified. The chloroplastic form was stimulated by dithiothreitol, reduced thioredoxin, dihydrolipoic acid, 6-phosphogluconate, and phosphate; the cytosolic isozyme was stimulated by fructose 2,6-bisphosphate but not by reduced thioredoxin. End product components that severely inhibited both forms of the reductase included lipids and free fatty acids, membranes, and glycerol phosphate. In addition, two groups of inhibitory peptides were obtained from the fraction precipitated by 70 to 90% saturation with (NH4)2SO4. Chromatography of this fraction on Sephadex G-50 revealed a peptide peak of about 5 kilodaltons which inhibited the chloroplastic DHAP reductase and a second peak containing peptides of about 2 kilodaltons which inhibited the cytosolic form of the enzyme. Regulation of the reduction of dihydroxyacetone phosphate from the C3 photosynthetic carbon cycle or from glycolysis is a complex process involving activators such as thioredoxin or fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, peptide and lipid inhibitors, and intermediary metabolites. It is possible that fructose 2,6-bisphosphate increases lipid production by stimulating DHAP reductase for glycerol phosphate production as well as inhibiting fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase to stimulate glycolysis. 相似文献

Diurnal changes in the regulatory metabolite, fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (F26BP), and key metabolic intermediates of sucrose biosynthesis were studied in maize (Zea mays L. cv Pioneer 3184) during a day-night cycle. Whole leaf concentrations of dihydroxyacetonephosphate (DHAP) and fructose 1,6-bisphosphate changed markedly during the photoperiod. DHAP concentration was correlated positively with the rate of sucrose formation in vivo (assimilate export plus sucrose accumulation) and extractable activity of sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS). The changes closely followed net photosynthetic rate, which tracked irradiance. The other metabolic intermediates measured (glucose 6-phosphate, fructose 6-phosphate, and UDP-glucose) were either relatively constant over the 24 hour period or changed in a different pattern. Diurnal changes in leaf F26BP concentrations were pronounced, and fundamentally different than the pattern reported with other species. F26BP concentration decreased at the beginning of the day and remained low and constant; a 3- to 4-fold increase occurred with darkness, and slowly declined thereafter. In general, leaf F26BP concentration was negatively correlated with net photosynthetic rate, and also leaf DHAP concentration. Consequently, co-ordination of the regulation of cytosolic fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase and SPS was apparent. The results support the postulate that in maize leaves the activation state of SPS may be dependent on availability of DHAP and possibly other metabolites. 相似文献

Allosteric activation of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) from Escherichia coli by phosphoenolpyruvate implies rapid feed-forward activation of gluconeogenesis in heterotrophic bacteria. But how do such bacteria rapidly down-regulate an activated FBPase in order to avoid futile cycling? Demonstrated here is the allosteric inhibition of E. coli FBPase by glucose 6-phosphate (Glc-6-P), the first metabolite produced upon glucose transport into the cell. FBPase undergoes a quaternary transition from the canonical R-state to a T-like state in response to Glc-6-P and AMP ligation. By displacing Phe(15), AMP binds to an allosteric site comparable with that of mammalian FBPase. Relative movements in helices H1 and H2 perturb allosteric activator sites for phosphoenolpyruvate. Glc-6-P binds to allosteric sites heretofore not observed in previous structures, perturbing subunits that in pairs form complete active sites of FBPase. Glc-6-P and AMP are synergistic inhibitors of E. coli FBPase, placing AMP/Glc-6-P inhibition in bacteria as a possible evolutionary predecessor to AMP/fructose 2,6-bisphosphate inhibition in mammalian FBPases. With no exceptions, signature residues of allosteric activation appear in bacterial sequences along with key residues of the Glc-6-P site. FBPases in such organisms may be components of metabolic switches that allow rapid changeover between gluconeogenesis and glycolysis in response to nutrient availability. 相似文献

At seawater temperatures below 1 degrees C, rainbow smelt (Osmerus mordax) accumulate plasma levels of glycerol up to 400 mM. Aspects of the synthesis of glycerol in liver and its regulation were previously investigated, but the pathways leading to glycerol synthesis remained unconfirmed. Here, we report nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies which elucidate, in more detail, the fuel sources for rapid glycerol synthesis in rainbow smelt. Initial NMR analysis of liver homogenates from fish held at cold (-1 degrees C) temperatures and from fish transferred from 8 degrees C to -1 degrees C showed elevated glycerol, whereas those from fish held at 8 degrees C had far lower glycerol levels. These results confirm a temperature-responsive glycerol synthesis and show that NMR is a suitable approach to investigate the phenomenon. Further studies with fish held at low temperature and injected with labelled L-[2,3-(13)C(2)] alanine or D-[U-(13)C(6)]glucose revealed conversion of both alanine and glucose to glycerol. (13)C spectra showed satellites ((1)J(CC)=41.1 Hz) about the glycerol resonances indicating intact incorporation of a (13)C-(13)C unit in liver glycerol of fish injected with L-[2,3-(13)C(2)]alanine and a (13)C-(13)C-(13)C unit in liver glycerol of fish injected with D[U-(13)C(6)]glucose. Thus, glycerol can be efficiently produced directly from amino acid precursors by glyceroneogenesis, which is an abbreviated gluconeogenesis process leading to glycerol through dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP). Glucose can also be metabolised to glycerol via an abbreviated form of glycolysis that similarly leads to glycerol through DHAP. 相似文献

1. 5-HT (10(-4) M) had no effect on the activity of phosphofructokinase in Hymenolepis diminuta. Concentrations of ATP above 33 microM inhibited PFK activity; AMP and cyclic AMP relieved this inhibition. 2. Local levels of cyclic AMP may be indirectly modulated by NaF, guanylyl imidophosphate, or 5-HT in the presence of GTP, which stimulates adenylyl cyclase activity x2 in H. diminuta homogenates. 3. Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (F2BP), a physiological regulator of PFK activity in rat liver, also relieved ATP-induced inhibition of PFK. F2BP was present in supernatants from the worms at about 20 mumol/g wet wt. 4. 5-HT may cause an increase in the rate of glycolysis in H. diminuta by elevating either cyclic AMP and/or AMP levels; these nucleotides can in turn increase PFK activity. 相似文献

Of a range of glycerol analogues, (+/-)-2,3-dihydroxypropyl dichloroacetate (III) has been shown to be the most potent inhibitor of glycerol kinase in vitro. Inhibition is noncompetitive with a Ki value of 1.8 X 10(-3) M. The presence of ATP seems essential for effective inhibition of the enzyme, suggesting that the inhibitor is phosphorylated to a glycerol-3-phosphate analogue. In vivo III causes a decrease in the specific activity of liver glycerol kinase and produces a dose-dependent reduction in blood glucose levels. There is a reduction in the conversion of [U-14C] glycerol into glucose after administration of III to CBA/CA mice while gluconeogenesis from fructose is increased. This suggests that of the enzymes of gluconeogenesis only glycerol kinase is inhibited by III. This compound may be useful in reducing the lipid contribution to gluconeogenesis in advancing cancer. 相似文献

Hypertrehalosemic neuropeptides from the corpora cardiaca such as the decapeptide Bld HrTH bring about a profound switch in the metabolic activity of cockroach fat body during which production of the blood sugar trehalose is stimulated while the catabolism of carbohydrate (glycolysis) is inhibited. The mechanisms of the metabolic switch are not fully understood.Incubation of isolated fat body from the cockroach Blaptica dubia with 10(-8) M Bld HrTH, for 10-60 min, stimulated glycogen breakdown and increased the content of the substrates of both the glycolytic enzyme 6-phosphofructo-1-kinase (PFK, EC 2.7.1.11) and the gluconeogenic enzyme fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase, EC 3.1.3.11) in the tissue. The glycolytic signal fructose 2,6-bisphosphate was markedly decreased in fat body on incubation with Bld HrTH. The content of ATP was slightly reduced, while the contents of ADP and AMP were increased after incubation with the hormone.Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate is a potent activator of PFK and a strong inhibitor of FBPase purified from fat body. The activity of PFK was decreased by about 90% when the hormone-dependent changes in effectors and substrates in fat body were simulated in vitro. FBPase, in contrast, was activated about 25-fold under these conditions, suggesting the hormone to stimulate gluconeogenesis in fat body. The data support the view that fructose 2,6-bisphosphate is a pivotal intracellular messenger in the hormone-induced metabolic switch from carbohydrate degradation to trehalose production in cockroach fat body. 相似文献

Using a streptozotocin-induced type 1 diabetic rat model, we analyzed and separated the effects of hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia over the in vivo expression and subcellular localization of hepatic fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) in the multicellular context of the liver. Our data showed that FBPase subcellular localization was modulated by the nutritional state in normal but not in diabetic rats. By contrast, the liver zonation was not affected in any condition. In healthy starved rats, FBPase was localized in the cytoplasm of hepatocytes, whereas in healthy re-fed rats it was concentrated in the nucleus and the cell periphery. Interestingly, despite the hyperglycemia, FBPase was unable to accumulate in the nucleus in hepatocytes from streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, suggesting that insulin is a critical in vivo modulator. This idea was confirmed by exogenous insulin supplementation to diabetic rats, where insulin was able to induce the rapid accumulation of FBPase within the hepatocyte nucleus. Besides, hepatic FBPase was found phosphorylated only in the cytoplasm, suggesting that the phosphorylation state is involved in the nuclear translocation. In conclusion, insulin and not hyperglycemia plays a crucial role in the nuclear accumulation of FBPase in vivo and may be an important regulatory mechanism that could account for the increased endogenous glucose production of liver of diabetic rodents. 相似文献

Limitation in copper (Cu) leads to pathophysiology in developing brain. Cu deficiency impairs brain mitochondria and results in high brain lactate suggesting augmented anaerobic glycolysis. AMP activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a cellular energy "master-switch" that is thought to augment glycolysis through phosphorylation and activation phosphofructokinase 2 (PFK2) resulting in increases of the glycolytic stimulator fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (F2,6BP). Previously, Cu deficiency has been shown to augment cerebellar AMPK activation. Cerebella of Cu-adequate (Cu+) and Cu-deficient (Cu-) rat pups were assessed to evaluate if AMPK activation in Cu- cerebella functioned to enhance PFK2 activation and increase F2,BP concentration. Higher levels of pAMPK were detected in Cu- cerebella. However, PFK2 activity, mRNA, and protein abundance were not affected by Cu deficiency. Surprisingly, F2,6BP levels were markedly lower in Cu- cerebella. Lower F2,6BP may be due to inhibition of PFK2 by citrate, as citrate concentration was significantly higher in Cu- cerebella. Data suggest AMPK activation in Cu- cerebellum does not augment glycolysis through a PFK2 mechanism. Furthermore, other metabolite data suggest that glycolysis may actually be blunted, since levels of glucose and glucose-6-phosphate were higher in Cu- cerebella than controls. 相似文献

In primary cultured hepatocytes, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) localization is modulated by glucose, dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and insulin. In the absence of these substrates, FBPase was present in the cytoplasm, but the addition of glucose or DHA induced its translocation to the nucleus. As expected, we observed the opposite effect of glucose on glucokinase localization. The addition of insulin in the absence of glucose largely increased the amount of nuclear FBPase. Moreover, at high concentrations of glucose or DHA, FBPase shifted from the cytosol to the cell periphery and co-localized with GS. Interestingly, the synthesis of Glu-6-P and glycogen induced by DHA was not inhibited by insulin. These results indicate that FBPase is involved in glycogen synthesis from gluconeogenic precursors. Overall, these findings show that translocation may be a new integrative mechanism for gluconeogenesis and glyconeogenesis. 相似文献

Sucrose is the starting point of glycolysis and end point of gluconeogenesis in higher plants. During both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis alternative enzymes are present at various steps to carry out parallel pathways; alternatives are available for utilizing nucleotide triphosphates and pyrophosphate; fructose 2,6-bisphosphate serves as a strong internal regulator; and plants use these cytoplasmic alternatives as they develop and as their environments change. 相似文献

Hepatic insulin resistance is one of the characteristics of type 2 diabetes and contributes to the development of hyperglycemia. How changes in hepatic glucose flux lead to insulin resistance is not clearly defined. We determined the effects of decreasing the levels of hepatic fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (F26P(2)), a key regulator of glucose metabolism, on hepatic glucose flux in the normal 129J mice. Upon adenoviral overexpression of a kinase activity-deficient 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase, the enzyme that determines F26P(2) level, hepatic F26P(2) levels were decreased twofold compared with those of control virus-treated mice in basal state. In addition, under hyperinsulinemic conditions, hepatic F26P(2) levels were much lower than those of the control. The decrease in F26P(2) leads to the elevation of basal and insulin-suppressed hepatic glucose production. Also, the efficiency of insulin to suppress hepatic glucose production was decreased (63.3 vs. 95.5% suppression of the control). At the molecular level, a decrease in insulin-stimulated Akt phosphorylation was consistent with hepatic insulin resistance. In the low hepatic F26P(2) states, increases in both gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis in the liver are responsible for elevations of hepatic glucose production and thereby contribute to the development of hyperglycemia. Additionally, the increased hepatic gluconeogenesis was associated with the elevated mRNA levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1alpha and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase. This study provides the first in vivo demonstration showing that decreasing hepatic F26P(2) levels leads to increased gluconeogenesis in the liver. Taken together, the present study demonstrates that perturbation of glucose flux in the liver plays a predominant role in the development of a diabetic phenotype, as characterized by hepatic insulin resistance. 相似文献

In Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum, sn-glycerol-1-phosphate (G-1-P) dehydrogenase is responsible for the formation of the Archaea-specific backbone of phospholipids, G-1-P, from dihydroxyacetonephosphate (DHAP). The possible G-1-P-forming activities were surveyed in cell-free extracts of six species of Archaea. All the archaeal cell-free homogenates tested revealed the ability to form G-1-P from DHAP. In addition, activities of G-3-P-forming glycerol kinase and G-3-P dehydrogenase were also detected in four heterotrophic archaea, while glycerol kinase activity was not detected in two autotrophic methanogens. These results show that G-1-P is produced from DHAP by G-1-P dehydrogenase in a wide variety of archaea while exogenous glycerol is catabolized via G-3-P. 相似文献

The pathways of glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) generation for glyceride synthesis were examined in precision-cut liver slices of fasted and diabetic rats. The incorporation of 5 mM [U-(14)C]glucose into glyceride-glycerol, used to evaluate G3P generation via glycolysis, was reduced by approximately 26-36% in liver slices of fasted and diabetic rats. The glycolytic flux was reduced by approximately 60% in both groups. The incorporation of 1.0 mM [2-(14)C]pyruvate into glyceride-glycerol (glyceroneogenesis) increased approximately 50% and approximately 36% in slices of fasted and diabetic rats, respectively, which also showed a two-fold increase in the activity phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase. The increased incorporation of 1.0 mM [2-(14)C]pyruvate into glyceride-glycerol by slices of fasted rats was not affected by the addition of 5 mM glucose to the incubation medium. The activity of glycerokinase and the incorporation of 1 mM [U-(14)C]glycerol into glyceride-glycerol, evaluators of G3P formation by direct glycerol phosphorylation, did not differ significantly from controls in slices of the two experimental groups. Rates of incorporation of 1 mM [2-(14)C]pyruvate and [U-(14)C]glycerol into glucose of incubation medium (gluconeogenesis) were approximately 140 and approximately 20% higher in fasted and diabetic slices than in control slices. It could be estimated that glyceroneogenesis by liver slices of fasted rats contributed with approximately 20% of G3P generated for glyceride-glycerol synthesis, the glycolytic pathway with approximately 5%, and direct phosphorylation of glycerol by glycerokinase with approximately 75%. Pyruvate contributed with 54% and glycerol with 46% of gluconeogenesis. The present data indicate that glyceroneogenesis has a significant participation in the generation of G3P needed for the increased glyceride-glycerol synthesis in liver during fasting and diabetes. 相似文献
