Modulation of glucokinase by glucose, small-molecule activator and glucokinase regulatory protein: steady-state kinetic and cell-based analysis.
GK (glucokinase) is an enzyme central to glucose metabolism that displays positive co-operativity to substrate glucose. Small-molecule GKAs (GK activators) modulate GK catalytic activity and glucose affinity and are currently being pursued as a treatment for Type 2 diabetes. GK progress curves monitoring product formation are linear up to 1 mM glucose, but biphasic at 5 mM, with the transition ...
متن کاملAnomeric specificity of hexokinase and glucokinase activities in liver and insulin-producing cells.
Conflicting data have been reported concerning the anomeric specificity of glucokinase. In the present study, liver hexokinase (Km for D-glucose 0.4 mM) displayed a higher affinity for but lower Vmax. with alpha- than with beta-D-glucose. The velocity of the reaction catalysed by liver glucokinase was higher with with beta- than with alpha-D-glucose, whatever the glucose concentration. The appa...
متن کاملGlucokinase and glucokinase regulatory protein: mutual dependence for nuclear localization.
Conditional expression of the glucokinase regulatory protein in insulinoma cells, under control of the reverse tetracycline-dependent transactivator, was used to investigate whether expression of this protein de novo would alter the intracellular distribution of glucokinase. The regulatory protein, which was undetectable in the basal state, could be induced by doxycycline to levels comparable t...
متن کاملMolecular basis for the role of glucokinase regulatory protein as the allosteric switch for glucokinase.
Glucokinase (GK) is a monomeric allosteric enzyme and plays a pivotal role in blood glucose homeostasis. GK is regulated by GK regulatory protein (GKRP), and indirectly by allosteric effectors of GKRP. Despite the critical roles of GK and GKRP, the molecular basis for the allosteric regulation mechanism of GK by GKRP remains unclear. We determined the crystal structure of Xenopus GK and GKRP co...
متن کاملRole of Glucokinase in the Subcellular Localization of Glucokinase Regulatory Protein
Glucokinase (GCK) is the rate-limiting enzyme of liver glucose metabolism. Through protein-protein interactions, glucokinase regulatory protein (GCKR) post-transcriptionally regulates GCK function in the liver, and causes its nuclear localization. However the role of GCK in regulating GCKR localization is unknown. In the present study, using in vitro and in vivo models, we examined the levels o...
