Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate as a contaminant of commercially obtained fructose 6-phosphate: effect on PPi:fructose 6-phosphate phosphotransferase.

Fructose 6-phosphate from several commercial sources was shown to be contaminated with fructose 2,6-bisphosphate. This contaminant was identified by its activation of PPi:fructose 6-phosphate phosphotransferase, extreme acid lability and behaviour on ion-exchange chromatography. The apparent kinetic properties of PPi:fructose 6-phosphate phosphotransferase from castor bean endosperm were considerably altered when contaminated fructose 6-phosphate was used as a substrate. Varying levels of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate in the substrate may account for differences that have been observed in the properties of the above enzyme from several plant sources.

Inhibition of rat liver phosphofructokinase-2 by phosphoenolpyruvate and ADP.

Phosphofructokinase-2 from rat liver is inhibited by phosphoenolpyruvate and ADP. Phosphoenolpyruvate reduces the maximum activity in respect to fructose-6-phosphate and ATP but does not give rise to complete inhibition of phosphofructokinase-2. ADP increases the apparent Michaelis constant of the enzyme for ATP and leaves the maximum activity in respect to ATP unchanged. The apparent Michaelis constant for fructose-6-phosphate is not influenced by ADP.

Enzyme concentration affects the allosteric behavior of yeast phosphofructokinase.

The influence of enzyme concentration on the kinetic behavior of yeast phosphofructokinase has been examined. A marked decrease in the ATP inhibition was observed when the enzyme activity was studied in permeabilized cells (in situ) as well as when the kinetic study was carried out with the purified yeast enzyme at a concentration of 120 micrograms/ml as compared to a 100-fold diluted enzyme. A similar result was obtained by adding polyethylene glycol either to a cell free extract or to the diluted pure enzyme to increase the local protein concentration. However, enzyme concentration had no significant effect on the fructose-6-P saturation curve. These results provide evidence that the allosteric behavior of yeast phosphofructokinase is affected by enzyme concentration.
