چکیده
To investigate the role in catalysis and/or substrate binding of the Walker motif residues of rat testis fructose 6-phosphate, 2-kinase:fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (Fru 6-P,2-kinase:Fru-2,6-Pase), we have constructed and characterized mutant enzymes of Asp-128, Thr-52, Asn-73, Thr-130, and Tyr-197. Replacement of Asp-128 by Ala, Asn, and Ser resulted in a small decrease in Vmax and a significant increase in Km values for both substrates. These mutants exhibited similar pH activity profiles as that of the wild type enzyme. Mutation of Thr-52 to Ala resulted in an enzyme with an infinitely high Km for both substrates and an 800-fold decreased Vmax. Substitution of Asn-73 with Ala or Asp caused a 100- and 600-fold increase, respectively in KFru 6-P with only a small increase in KATP and small changes in Vmax. Mutation of Thr-130 caused small changes in the kinetic properties. Replacement of Tyr-197 with Ser resulted in an enzyme with severely decreased binding of Fru 6-P with 3-fold decreased Vmax. A fluorescent analog of ATP, 2'(3')-O-(N-methylanthraniloyl)ATP (mant-ATP) served as a substrate with Km = 0.64 microM, and Vmax = 25 milliunits/mg and was a competitive inhibitor with respect to ATP. When mant-ATP bound to the enzyme, fluorescence intensity at 440 nm increased. mant-ATP binding of the wild type and the mutant enzymes were compared using the fluorometric method. The Kd values of the T52A and D128N enzymes were infinitely high and could not be measured, while those of the other mutant enzymes increased slightly. These results provide evidence that those amino acids are involved in substrate binding, and they are consistent with the crystallographic data. The results also suggest that Asp-128 does not serve as a nucleophile in catalysis, and since there are no other potential nucleophiles in the active site, we hypothesize that the Fru 6-P,2-kinase reaction is mediated via a transition state stabilization mechanism.

The covalent structure of pig kidney fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase. Sequence of a 63-residue cyanogen bromide peptide containing a phosphorylatable serine.
Native pig kidney fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, in contrast to the rat liver enzyme, is not a substrate of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. However, the pig kidney enzyme becomes a substrate when phosphorylation is performed in 1.6 M urea, after prior unfolding in 8 M urea. A cyanogen bromide fragment containing the phosphorylation site has been isolated and the amino acid sequence of this 6...
متن کاملSite-directed mutagenesis of Lys-174, Asp-179 and Asp-191 in the 2-kinase domain of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase.
In a structural model of the 2-kinase domain of the bifunctional enzyme 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase based on the analogy with adenylate kinase, Lys-174, Asp-179 and Asp-191 residues are located in the putative active site. Asp-179 and Asp-191 are conserved in all known 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase sequences. In contrast, Lys-174 is conserved except in a yeast isoenzyme, fbp...
متن کاملAmino acid sequence of the phosphorylation site of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase.
Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has properties similar to other gluconeogenic fructose-1,6-bisphosphatases, but an unusual characteristic of the yeast enzyme is that it can be phosphorylated in vitro by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Phosphorylation also occurs in vivo, presumably as part of a signalling mechanism for the enzyme's degradation. To probe the st...

The sugar phosphate specificity of the active site of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase and of the inhibitory site of fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase was investigated. The Michaelis constants and relative Vmax values of the sugar phosphates for the 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase were: D-fructose 6-phosphate, Km = 0.035 mM, Vmax = 1; L-sorbose 6-phosphate, Km = 0.175 mM, Vmax = 1.1; D-tagatose 6-phosphate, Km = 15...
