Similarity of activation of yeast phosphofructokinase by AMP and fructose-2,6-bisphosphate.

Phosphofructokinase from yeast is effectively activated by AMP and fructose-2,6-bisphosphate by increasing the affinity of the enzyme to fructose-6-phosphate and the maximum activity toward this substrate. The enzyme is activated by AMP and fructose-2, 6-bisphosphate both at high and at low concentrations of ATP. The half maximum stimulation concentrations of AMP and fructose-2, 6-bisphosphate are about 200 microM and 2 microM, respectively. At saturating concentrations of AMP and fructose-2, 6-bisphosphate similar maximum activities were observed in the dependence of enzyme activity on the concentrations of fructose-6-phosphate. The fructose-6-phosphate affinity is more enhanced by fructose-2, 6-bisphosphate than by AMP.

Changes in fructose-2,6-bisphosphate levels after glucose loading of starved rats.

Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate levels in freeze-clamped livers of starved rats were 0.5 nmol/g liver. Oral administration of 1 g glucose per kg body weight to starved rats increased glycogen levels from 4 mg/g liver to 13.5 mg/g in 2 hr but did not significantly alter fructose-2,6-bisphosphate levels. The low level of this effector is consistent with an active gluconeogenic process and the results support the hypothesis that carbon atoms for glycogen synthesis can be derived from 3-carbon precursors via this pathway, even in the presence of glucose.

The reactive cysteine residue of pig kidney fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase is related to a fructose 2,6-bisphosphate allosteric site.

Modification of a highly reactive cysteine residue of pig kidney fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase with N-ethylmaleimide results in the loss of activation of the enzyme by monovalent cations. Low concentrations of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate or high (inhibitory) levels of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate protect the enzyme against the loss of monovalent cation activation, while non-inhibitory concentrations of the substrate gave partial protection. The allosteric inhibitor AMP markedly increases the reactivity of the cysteine residue. The results indicate that fructose 2,6-bisphosphate can protect the enzyme against the loss of potassium activation by binding to an allosteric site. High levels of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate probably inhibit the enzyme by binding to this allosteric site.

Pyrophosphate-dependent sucrose metabolism and its activation by fructose 2,6-bisphosphate in sucrose importing plant tissues.

In the presence of pyrophosphate and uridine diphosphate, sucrose was cleaved to form glucose 1-phosphate and fructose with soluble extracts from sucrose importing plant tissues. The glucose 1-phosphate then was converted through glycolysis to triose phosphates in a pyrophosphate-dependent pathway which was activated by fructose 2,6-bisphosphate. Much less activity, less than 5%, was found in sucrose exporting tissue extracts from the same plants. These findings suggest that imported sucrose is metabolized in the cytoplasm of plant tissues by utilizing pyrophosphate and that sucrose metabolism is partially regulated by fructose 2,6-bisphosphate.

Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate in human platelets: its possible role in the control of basal and thrombin-stimulated glycolysis.

Human platelets contain fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, 6-phosphofructo-l-kinase (ATP: D-Fructose-6-phosphate-1-phosphotransferase, E.C.2.7. 1.11), the rate-limiting enzyme in platelet glycolysis appear to be significantly activated by physiological concentration of the compound, suggesting for fructose 2,6-bisphosphate a key regulatory role in the control of the glycolytic flux. Incubation of human platelets with thrombin results in a parallel and rapid increase of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate levels and glycolytic flux, suggesting that the compound may also be involved in the enhancement of glycolysis elicited by the stimulating agent.

Effect of chronic uremia on fructose 2,6-bisphosphate glycolytic and gluconeogenic enzymes in rat liver.

The level of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate and the maximal activities of key gluconeogenic and glycolytic enzymes were determined in the liver of a rat model of chronic uremia and in ad libitum-fed control and pair-fed control animals. Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate was decreased in uremia and its level negatively correlated with the concentration of blood urea nitrogen. The changes in gluconeogenic enzymes in uremic rats were not different from those in the pair-fed controls. However, pyruvate kinase was decreased in uremia when compared to both controls. These studies offer a possible mechanism for the role of the liver in the carbohydrate intolerance of uremia.

Activation of muscle phosphofructokinase by alpha-glucose 1,6-bisphosphate and fructose 2,6-bisphosphate is differently affected by other allosteric effectors and by pH.

Citrate, ATP and AMP affect similarly the activation of muscle phosphofructokinase by alpha-glucose 1,6-bisphosphate and fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, but they affect differently its activation by fructose 2,6-bisphosphate. Activation by alpha-glucose 1,6-bisphosphate and fructose 2,6-bisphosphate is also differently affected by pH. This suggest that both alpha-glucose 1,6-bisphosphate and fructose 1,6-bisphosphate induce the same conformational change on muscle phosphofructokinase, distinct from that produced by fructose 2,6-bisphosphate.

Involvement of the conserved histidine-188 residue in the L-lactate dehydrogenase from Thermus caldophilus GK24 in allosteric regulation by fructose 1,6-bisphosphate.

The conserved histidine-188 residue of the L-lactate dehydrogenase of Thermus caldophilus GK 24, which is allosterically activated by fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, has been exchanged to phenylalanine by site-specific mutagenesis. In the mutant enzyme the strong stimulatory effect of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate is abolished. The analysis of the pH dependence of the activity indicates that the positive charge of the conserved His-188 residue is important for the interaction of the enzyme with the allosteric effector.

Increase of intraerythrocytic fructose-1,6-diphosphate after incubation of whole human blood with fructose-1,6-diphosphate.

The incubation of whole blood with fructose-1,6-diphosphate (FDP) entails a statistically significant increase of intraerythrocytic FDP together with a decrease of blood glucose. The increase is not significant when equimolar amounts of fructose plus twice molar phosphate are used. The effect of FDP is decreased in the presence of an excess of oxygen. FDP added to the whole blood is removed from plasma by the activity of plasma enzymes and by the presence of blood cells as well. No specific interaction of FDP with plasma proteins seems to occur and the effects of FDP addition last longer than is compatible with the presence of FDP in the plasma.

Bisphosphorylated metabolites of glycerate, glucose, and fructose: functions, metabolism and molecular pathology.

2,3-Bisphosphoglycerate, glucose 1,6-P2 and fructose 2,6-P2 have been recognized as regulatory signals implicated in the control of metabolism, oxygen affinity of red cells and other cellular functions. The alterations of their metabolism constitute a novel area in molecular pathology. The concentration of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate in erythrocytes changes in a number of pathological conditions. An inherited deficiency of the multifunctional enzyme involved in the synthesis and breakdown of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate in erythrocytes has been reported. The levels of glucose 1,6-P2 are reduced in the liver and in the muscle of rats with experimentally induced diabetes. In muscle of genetically dystrophic mice a decrease in the levels of glucose 1,6-P2 has been found, probably resulting from enhancement of glucose 1,6-P2 phosphatase activity. Fructose 2,6-P2 levels are decreased in the liver of experimental diabetic mice and rats, and elevated in the liver of genetically obese animals.

Purification of the bovine lens isozymes which reduce fructose diphosphate to sorbitol diphosphate.

Three isozymes of an enzyme which reduce fructose 1, 6-diphosphate (FDP) to sorbitol 1, 6-diphosphate (SDP) in the presence of NADH have been purified from bovine lens. The isozymes were fractionated by acid precipitation of the lens homogenate followed by DE-52 column chromatography. This step separated the FDP reducing activity into three major peaks, peak 1, peak 2, and peak 3. Each of these peaks were further purified by affinity chromatography using Reactive blue-2-agarose, Sephadex G-150 gel filtration, and DE-52 column chromatography. Polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis demonstrated the presence of one major isozyme and one minor isozyme in each of the three peaks. The Km values for FDP were 8.0, 5.7, and 4.7 mM for peaks 1, 2, and 3 respectively. The reaction product SDP was characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. All the isozymes utilized pyruvate as substrate with the Km for peaks 1, 2, and 3 being 0.63, 0.20, and 0.09 mM respectively. These studies therefore indicate that FDP reducing activity and lactate dehydrogenase activity co-purify and may be expressed by the same enzyme protein.
