  • Title: Effect of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate on the kinetic properties of cytoplasmic fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase from germinating castor bean endosperm.

    Abstract:
    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 mixed linear inhibitor. Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate also inhibited FBPase and induced a sigmoid response to fructose 1,6-bisphosphate. The effects of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate were enhanced by low levels of AMP. The latter two compounds interacted synergistically in inhibiting FBPase, and their interaction was enhanced by phosphate which, by itself, had little effect. The enzyme was also inhibited by ADP, ATP, UDP and, to a lesser extent, phosphoenolpyruvate. There was no apparent synergism between UDP, a mixed inhibitor, and fructose 2,6-bisphosphate. Similarly ADP, a predominantly competitive inhibitor, did not interact with fructose 2,6-bisphosphate. Possible roles for fructose 2,6-bisphosphate and the other effectors in regulating FBPase are discussed.
