    Abstract:
    The effects of various metabolites on the two most common phosphoglucomutase allozymes (PGMA and PGMB) in Drosophila melanogaster have been investigated in vitro. 2,3-Diphosphoglycerate (2,3DPG) inhibited PGMA and PGMB to the same degree in the presence of 25 microM glucose-1,6-diphosphate (G1,6P2). However a higher concentration of G1,6P2 partially reversed the inhibition of PGMA exerted by 2,3DPG, so that in the presence of 150 microM G1,6P2 the inhibition of PGMA was half that of PGMB at pH 6.0. Glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) had no significant effect at pH 7.4 but exerted an activating effect at pH 6.0 which was more pronounced in the case of PGMB. ATP, citrate, and fructose-1, 6-diphosphate (F1,6P2) inhibited both PGMA and PGMB. The differences found in vitro between these two allozymes can have a significant impact on in vivo function and, therefore, on the maintenance of PGM polymorphism in experimental populations of D. melanogaster studied in the laboratory.
