The effect of natural and synthetic D-fructose 2,6-bisphosphate on the regulatory kinetic properties of liver and muscle phosphofructokinases.

The effect of natural "activation factor" and synthetic fructose-2,6-P2 on the allosteric kinetic properties of liver and muscle phosphofructokinases was investigated. Both synthetic and natural fructose-2,6-P2 show identical effects on the allosteric kinetic properties of both enzymes. Fructose-2,6-P2 counteracts inhibition by ATP and citrate and decreases the Km for fructose-6-P. This fructose ester also acts synergistically with AMP in releasing ATP inhibition. The Km values of liver and muscle phosphofructokinase for fructose-2,6-P2 in the presence of 1.25 mM ATP are 12 milliunits/ml (or 24 nM) and 5 milliunits/ml (or 10 nM), respectively. At near physiological concentrations of ATP (3 mM) and fructose-6-P (0.2 mM), however, the Km values for fructose-2,6-P2 are increased to 12 microM and 0.8 microM for liver and muscle enzymes, respectively. Thus, fructose-2,6-P2 is the most potent activator of the enzyme compared to other known activators such as fructose-1,6-P2. The rates of the reaction catalyzed by the enzymes under the above conditions are nonlinear: the rates decelerate in the absence or in the presence of lower concentrations of fructose-2,6-P2, but the rates become linear in the presence of higher concentrations of fructose-2,6-P2. Fructose-2,6-P2 also protects phosphofructokinase against inactivation by heat. Fructose-2,6-P2, therefore, may be the most important allosteric effector in regulation of phosphofructokinase in liver as well as in other tissues.
