Abstract: | Hexokinase in rabbit reticulocytes is present in two molecular forms (hexokinase Ia and Ib) separable by ion-exchange chromatography
on DE-52 columns. By the use of ion-exchange HPLC we have been able to show that the isozymic form we previously called hexokinase
la can be resolved into two peaks of activity one of which is (Ia) soluble, the other (Ia*) particulate. Hexokinase Ia* can
be solubilized by detergents like saponine and Triton X-100 and disappears during ‘in vivo’ reticulocytes maturation. This new hexokinase micro-heterogeneity is not caused by different oxidized forms of the enzyme
nor influenced by the presence of proteolytic inhibitors during lysate preparation. |
