چکیده
TREATMENT OF CARROT ROOTS WITH ETHYLENE LED TO: (a) a doubling of the fructose-2,6-bisphosphate content; (b) a general increase in the concentration of glycolytic intermediates; and (c) an increase in the extractable activity of fructose-6-phosphate,2-kinase, the enzyme synthesizing fructose-2,6-bisphosphate from fructose-6-phosphate and adenosine triphosphate.

In ripening banana (Musa acuminata L. [AAA group, Cavandish subgroup] cv. Valery) fruit, the steady state concentration of the glycolytic regulator fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (Fru 2,6-P(2)) underwent a transient increase 2 to 3 hours before the respiratory rise, but coincident with the increase in ethylene synthesis. Fru 2,6-P(2) concentration subsequently decreased, but increased again approxim...
متن کاملA Rapid Increase in Spinach Leaf Fructose 2,6-Bisphosphate Occurs during a Light to Dark Transition.
Spinach leaf fructose 2,6-bisphosphate levels increase rapidly during the first 15 minutes of a normal dark period followed by a gradual decline during the next 5 hours. The regulatory mechanism responsible for the dark-induced rise in fructose 2,6-bisphosphate levels can be counteracted by a brief exposure to light intensities greater than 1 microeinstein per square meter per second.
متن کاملRegulation of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate content in rat hepatocytes, perfused hearts, and perfused hindlimbs.
A method has been developed to specifically measure fructose-2,6-bisphosphate in tissues. After elimination of the hexose-6-phosphate present in the extract, fructose-2,6-bisphosphate is hydrolyzed and the acid-revealed fructose-6-phosphate is measured in a coupled enzymatic assay with bacterial NADH-linked luciferase. Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate was found in all tissues studied; and, in order of...
متن کاملEffect of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate on the kinetic properties of cytoplasmic fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase from germinating castor bean endosperm.
The cytoplasmic form of fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) was purified over 60-fold from germinating castor bean endosperm (Ricinus communis). The kinetic properties of the purified enzyme were studied. The preparation was specific for fructose 1,6-bisphosphate and exhibited optimum activity at pH 7.5. The affinity of the enzyme for fructose 1,6-bisphosphate was reduced by AMP, which was a m...
متن کاملChanges in Fructose 2,6-Bisphosphate Levels in Green Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) Fruit in Response to Temperature.
The regulatory metabolite, fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (Fru 2,6-P(2)) was found in green pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). The Fru 2,6-P(2) level was found to: (a) rise rapidly in response to heat; (b) drop rapidly, followed by recovery, in response to cold storage of fruit and, (c) oscillate during cold storage of fruit. The possible existence of a relationship between chilling injury and Fru 2,6-P(2...
