Glucokinase 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 کاملSubstrate-induced Nuclear Export and Peripheral Compartmentalization of Hepatic Glucokinase Correlates with Glycogen Deposition
Hepatic glucokinase (GK) is acutely regulated by binding to its nuclear-anchored regulatory protein (GKRP). Although GK release by GKRP is tightly coupled to the rate of glycogen synthesis, the nature of this association is obscure. To gain insight into this coupling mechanism under physiological stimulating conditions in primary rat hepatocytes, we analyzed the subcellular distribution of GK a...
متن کاملIntracellular distribution of hepatic glucokinase and glucokinase regulatory protein during the fasted to refed transition in rats.
We have studied the intracellular distribution in vivo of glucokinase (GK) and glucokinase regulatory protein (GKRP) in livers of fasted and refed rats, using specific antibodies against both proteins and laser confocal fluorescence microscopy. GK was found predominantly in the nucleus of hepatocytes from starved rats. GK was translocated to the cytoplasm in livers of 1- and 2-h refed animals, ...
متن کاملGlucokinase regulatory protein is associated with mitochondria in hepatocytes.
The association of glucokinase with liver mitochondria has been reported [Danial et al. (2003) BAD and glucokinase reside in a mitochondrial complex that integrates glycolysis and apoptosis. Nature 424, 952-956]. We confirmed association of glucokinase immunoreactivity with rat liver mitochondria using Percoll gradient centrifugation and demonstrated its association with the 68 kDa regulatory p...
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...
