Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, a potent regulator of carbohydrate metabolism, inhibits trehalose phosphorylase from protist Euglena gracilis.

Partially purified trehalose phosphorylase (EC 2.4.1.64) from Euglena gracilis SM-ZK was inhibited by fructose 2,6-bisphosphate in both synthetic and degradative directions. Ki value for trehalose phosphorolysis was 1.2 microM and that for trehalose synthesis was 0.5 microM. Functions of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate in Euglena, particularly in the regulative mechanism of the two reserve carbohydrates, paramylon and trehalose, are discussed.

Interactions of the receptor for insulin-like growth factor II with mannose-6-phosphate and antibodies to the mannose-6-phosphate receptor.

Recently, the sequence of the human receptor for insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) was found to be 80% identical [Morgan et al., (1987) Nature 329, 301-307] to the sequence of a partial clone of the bovine cation-independent mannose-6-phosphate receptor [Lobel et al., (1987) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 84, 2233-2237]. In the present study, the purified receptor for insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) was found to react with two different polyclonal antibodies to the purified mannose-6-phosphate receptor. Moreover, mannose-6-phosphate was found to stimulate the binding of labeled IGF-II to the IGF-II receptor by two-fold. This effect had the same specificity and affinity as the reported binding of mannose-6-phosphate to its receptor; mannose-1-phosphate and mannose had no effect on the binding of labeled IGF-II to its receptor, and the half-maximally effective concentration of mannose-6-phosphate was 0.3 mM. Also, mannose-6-phosphate did not affect labeled IGF-II binding to the insulin receptor. These results support the hypothesis that a single protein of Mr-250,000 binds both IGF-II and mannose-6-phosphate. Furthermore, they indicate that mannose-6-phosphate can modulate the interaction of IGF-II to its receptor.

Mannose 6-phosphate/insulin-like growth factor II receptor: distinct binding sites for mannose 6-phosphate and insulin-like growth factor II.

Pentamannosyl phosphate substituted bovine serum albumin (PMP-BSA) and insulin like growth factor II (IGF II) bind specifically to immobilized mannose 6-phosphate/insulin like growth factor II receptor. An excess of IGF II inhibited binding of PMP-BSA by less than or equal to 20%, and an excess of PMP-BSA inhibited binding of IGF II by less than or equal to 10%. Polyclonal antibodies against the receptor purified from human liver inhibited preferentially the binding of PMP-BSA, and a monocloncal antibody 2C2 inhibited only the binding of IGF II to the receptor. Similar results were obtained for binding of PMP-BSA and IGF II to human skin fibroblasts. These results suggest that the binding sites for mannose 6-phosphate and IGF II reside in different portions of the receptor.

Inhibition by lysosomal enzymes and mannose-6-phosphate of the phosphorylation of the lysosomal enzyme binding receptor protein from monkey brain.

The lysosomal enzymes beta-glucuronidase and alpha-L-fucosidase and mannose-6-phosphate inhibited the phosphorylation of the lysosomal enzyme binding receptor protein prepared from monkey brain. Inhibition of both serine and tyrosine phosphorylation was observed. A non-lysosomal glycoprotein enzyme butyrylcholinesterase, mannose or glucose did not inhibit phosphorylation. Tyrosine phosphorylation of histone by the receptor protein was also inhibited by the lysosomal enzymes and mannose-6-phosphate.

Insulin-like growth factor-II/mannose 6-phosphate receptor is incapable of activating GTP-binding proteins in response to mannose 6-phosphate, but capable in response to insulin-like growth factor-II.

We previously reported that insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II) stimulates both calcium influx and DNA synthesis by acting on the cell surface IGF-II receptor (IGF-IIR) in a manner sensitive to pertussis toxin, and recently demonstrated that IGF-II binding to the IGF-IIR gives rise to functional changes of purified Gi-2, a GTP-binding protein (G protein) in phospholipid vesicles as well as in broken cell membranes. On the other hand, a variety of evidence indicates that the IGF-IIR binds mannose 6-phosphate (man6P) with high affinity probably at a receptor extracellular region different from the IGF-II-binding site. In the present study, we examined whether man6P stimulation of the IGF-IIR evokes the activation of Gi-2 in phospholipid vesicles and in native cell membranes. In vesicles reconstituted with purified rat IGF-IIR and bovine Gi-2, man6P did not stimulate GDP dissociation from Gi-2 even in concentrations up to 10 mM, while IGF-II dose-dependently facilitated GDP release from Gi-2 with an EC50 of 6 nM. The stimulatory effect of IGF-II was not observed in vesicles reconstituted with Gi-2 alone. In addition, also in a native environment of cell membranes, man6P did not affect an endogenous 40-kDa protein or exogenously added purified Gi-2 as assessed with reduction of the pertussis toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation. These results indicate that the IGF-IIR does not activate Gi-like proteins upon man6P binding in phospholipid vesicles and in native cellular membranes, whereas the receptor activates Gi-like proteins upon IGF-II binding in both environments. Thus, we postulate that the IGF-IIR dissimilarly responds to the two structurally unrelated ligands, IGF-II and man6P, in the linkage function with G proteins.
