  • Title: Metabolite-controlled phosphorylation of hepatic phosphofructokinase proceeds by cAMP-dependent protein kinase.
    Author: Brand IA, Mieskes G, Söling HD.
    Journal: FEBS Lett; 1983 Apr 05; 154(1):65-9. PubMed ID: 6299795.
    Abstract:
    In hepatocytes 32P-incorporation into rat liver phosphofructokinase is stimulated by glucose as well as by glucagon, the effects of both stimuli being prevented by L-alanine [Eur. J. Biochem. (1982) 122, 175]. The phosphopeptides of the enzyme derived from limited proteolysis by subtilisin and from exhaustive tryptic digestion were analyzed either by one-dimensional mapping on sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide slab gels and by fingerprint mapping, respectively. It is shown that in vivo stimulation of 32P-incorporation by glucose or by glucose plus glucagon results in identical phosphopeptide maps, and that these maps were identical with those obtained from phosphofructokinase phosphorylated in vitro with catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. It is concluded that in the intact liver cell phosphofructokinase is phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase but that the state of phosphorylation is modified by metabolite control.
