Oral administration of fructose (4 g/kg body wt) accelerated the production of uric acid and allantoin in rat liver. Changes in the concentrations of various metabolites in the liver after the administration of fructose suggested that this was due to the acceleration of AMP degradation induced by the rapid fall in adenylate energy charge resulted from rapid phosphorylation of fructose with ATP.
1. The allosteric properties of phosphofructokinase from the epithelial cells of thermally injured rat small intestine were studied and compared with those properties of the normal rats. 2. The fructose 6-phosphate saturation curve of mucosal phosphofructokinase from thermally injured rats (3 days post injury, 33% of body surface area) displayed cooperatively; the ratio of the activity observed at pH 7.0 in the presence of 0.5 mM fructose 6-phosphate and 2.5 mM-ATP to the optimal activity at pH 8.0, v 0.5/V, was 0.42 +/- 0.02 in the normal rats and 0.22 +/- 0.03 in the injured rats. 3. The enzyme from thermally injured rats was very sensitive to inhibition by ATP as compared to that from normal rats. 4. The enzyme from thermally injured rats was inhibited by citrate and phosphocreatine in a synergistic manner with ATP. 5. Activation under nearly cellular conditions was produced by ADP, AMP and glucose-1,6-biphosphate. 6. In general, the mucosal enzyme of thermally injured rats was more susceptible to inhibition or activation by various metabolites than the enzyme of the normal rats. 7. These results may suggest that mucosal phosphofructokinase of thermally injured rats may not be subject to the same control mechanism as the normal rats in vivo due to changes in the concentrations of fructose-2,6-biphosphate.
1. Phosphofructokinase from camel liver was purified to homogeneity more than 3600-fold, and the yield of the preparation was 46%. 2. The sodium dodecyl sulphate-treated purified enzyme migrated as a single band in 10% polyacrylamide gel. 3. The enzyme is a tetramer, with a monomer Mr 90,000. 4. The regulatory properties of the purified enzyme from camel liver were studied at pH 7.0. 5. The enzyme displayed cooperativity with respect to fructose 6-phosphate and was inhibited by high concentrations of ATP. 6. The enzyme was also inhibited by citrate, phosphocreatine and 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate. 7. On the other hand, ADP, AMP, glucose 1,6-bisphosphate and fructose 2,6-bisphosphate were all found to be strong activators for camel liver phosphofructokinase.
1. Phosphofructokinases (PFKs) in immature and adult rat submandibular glands were purified to near homogeneity, and their properties were compared. 2. PFK in immature gland was less sensitive to inhibition by ATP than adult PFK. 3. Saturation curve for fructose 6-phosphate of PFK in immature gland was less sigmoidal than that of adult PFK indicating the lower cooperativity of subunits in immature PFK. 4. Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate relieved PFK from inhibition by ATP in adult gland, but a similar effect was not clearly observed in immature gland PFK. 5. Adult PFK was a heterotetramer consisting of C-, M-, L-subunits, but in immature PFK another type of subunit, which was slightly smaller than L-subunit, existed in addition to C-, M- and L-subunits.
1. 6-Phosphofructo-1-kinase (PFK) isoenzymes were studied in the jejunal mucosa of rabbit, rat and mouse. 2. The rat mucosal enzyme was found to be very similar to, although not identical with, the mouse mucosal enzyme, as the physical and regulatory properties of these two enzymes were nearly similar except that the immunological studies were dissimilar. 3. PFK prepared from rabbit mucosa showed different and distinct properties from the rat and mouse mucosal PFK when studied by (NH4)2SO4-precipitation, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, immunological cross-reactivity and regulatory properties. 4. The difference between the rabbit enzyme and the rat or mouse enzymes is suggested to be due to the lower rate of glycolysis observed in the rabbit jejunal mucosa as the total enzyme activities of the rabbit were found to be less than half of those activities of the rat and mouse mucosa. 5. The dissimilarities among the species in mucosal isoenzymes obtained in the present study are rather expected since the term isoenzyme is now properly reserved for forms that have been shown to be genetically distinct as shown for different tissues in the same species. Such multigenic control does not appear to have been established for the same tissue in different species.
1. The glycolytic flow in the skeletal muscle was considerably depressed during hibernation of Jaculus orientalis. 2. Although the ATP content was not modified, the ATP/AMP ratio was twice as large than under homeothermic conditions. 3. Furthermore, the hexose phosphates were markedly depressed. 4. The total activities of the key enzymes, hexokinase, phosphofructokinase and pyruvate kinase, which are regulated through the adenylates, decreased. 5. Under in vivo conditions, taking into account the small amount of fructose-6-phosphate and the ATP/AMP ratio, it is likely that phosphofructokinase was totally inhibited, explaining the undetectable amount of fructose 1.6 bisphosphate.
1. Phosphofructokinase from rat kidney cortex has been purified by affinity chromatography to a final specific activity of 15 units per mg of protein, measured at 25 degrees C and pH 8. 2. This lower spec. act., compared with that of the enzyme from other sources, shows the enzyme in proximal tubules to be less active, which would account for the main gluconeogenic role of these nephron sections. 3. The binding of fructose-6-phosphate to the enzyme is co-operative. ATP increases the Hill coefficient and produces a marked allosteric inhibition on the activity. 4. Fructose-2,6-bis-phosphate is a potent activator of the enzyme from this source. It reduces the Hill coefficient of the enzyme and the inhibition constant of ATP. A marked difference between this and the liver enzyme is that the activation is not co-operative.
Phosphofructokinase (PFK) from Rana ridibunda erythrocytes was purified about 570-fold by column chromatography on Cibacron Blue Sepharose. The resulting enzyme preparation had a specific activity of 1.94 U/mg protein and a pH maximum of 7.6. The molecular weight as determined by HPLC chromatography was 330,000 Da. The S0.5 value for fructose-6-phosphate (F6P) was 5.6 mM and the Km for ATP 0.87 mM. The enzyme was sensitive to inhibition by ATP which was increased with lower F6P concentrations. At physiological levels of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (0.35 mumol/ml RBC), 20% of PFK activity was inhibited. Significant activations under cellular conditions were exercised by AMP and, to a lesser extent, by Pi. Micromolar concentrations of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate and glucose-1,6-bisphosphate were also potent activators of the erythrocyte enzyme. Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (10-50) microM activated the enzyme to a limited extent. With respect to these effects, it is suggested that PFK is a significant enzyme in regulating the glycolytic flux of Rana ridibunda red blood cells. The existence of a regulatory mechanism controlled by the energy status of the red cell, as well as the state of oxygenation of haemoglobin, is discussed, in which PFK occupies a central role.
