Abstract: | Fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (EC 3.1.3.11) has been purified 360-fold from turkey liver. The purified enzyme appears to be homogeneous by disc gel electrophoresis and has a pH profile indistinguishable from that of the enzyme in crude extracts. Mn2+ is significantly more effective than Mg2+ as the essential metal cofactor of this enzyme. The maximal effect of histidine is equivalent to that of EDTA except that EDTA is more efficient at lower concentrations. The histidine effect is decreased with an increase in pH or if substrate is first bound to the enzyme. The enzyme activity is activated equally by d- and l-forms of histidine. Enzyme affinity for the substrate decreases with an increase in pH. The inhibition by high substrate concentrations observed at pH 7.5 is markedly reduced in the absence of chelating activator or when Mg2 is replaced by Mn2+ as the metal cofactor. Turkeys liver fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase resembles the enzyme from mammalian sources in that the sensitivity to AMP inhibition is decreased with the increase in pH, temperature, and Mg2 concentration. |
