  • Title: Inhibition of mitochondrial and soluble hexokinase from various rat tissues by glucose 1,6-bisphosphate.

    Abstract:
    Mitochondrial and soluble Type I and Type II hexokinase from various rat tissues differed in their susceptibility to inhibition by glucose-1,6-bisphosphate (Glc-1,6-P2). In tissues where Type I is the predominant form, the mitochondrial enzyme was less susceptible to inhibition by Glc-1,6-P2 than the soluble enzyme, especially at high Mg2+ concentration. In tissues where Type II is the predominant form, the mitochondrial enzyme was more susceptible to inhibition by Glc-1,6-P2 than the soluble enzyme, especially at low Mg2+ concentration. The results suggest that changes in the intracellular concentrations of Glc-1,6-P2 and Mg2+ under various conditions would affect the activity of the bound and soluble hexokinase from different tissues in a different manner.
