Application

FBP was used to study the kinetic mechanism of pyrophosphate-dependent phosphofructokinase from Propionibacterium freudenreichii.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBP) is an important enzyme in glucose metabolism. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate to fructose-6-phosphate and inorganic phosphate. Fructose-6-phosphate kinase converts fructose-6-phosphate into fructose 1,6-bisphophate in the rate limiting step of the glycolysis cycle.

Other Notes

These two pyrophosphate-dependent fructose-6-phosphate kinases differ in their response to the physiological activator fructose 2,6-diphosphate [Fru (2,6)-P2]. The enzyme from Propionibacterium freudenreichii (F8381) reportedly is not affected by Fru (2,6)-P2. The enzyme from potato tubers (F2258) is stimulated by Fru (2,6)-P2 (half-maximal activation at 5.5 nM Fru (2,6)-P2 for potato tuber enzyme).

Unit Definition

One unit will convert 1.0 μmole of pyrophosphate and fructose 6-phosphate to fructose 1,6-diphosphate and inorganic phosphate per min at pH 7.4 at 30 °C.

Detection of pyrophosphate is important in quantifying enzyme activity, particularly adenylation domain activity during non-ribosomal peptide synthesis. The previous development of an enzyme coupled PPi /NADH assay allowed the measurement of such activity in an online fashion using commercially available

Inorganic pyrophosphate dependent D-fructose-6-phosphate 1-phosphotransferase from Propionibacterium freudenreichii was purified to apparent homogeneity by the criterion of silver staining on sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) gels. In the direction of phosphorylation of fructose 6-phosphate (F6P), an intersecting initial velocity pattern is

The intrinsic fluorescence of potato tuber pyrophosphate:fructose-6-phosphate 1-phosphotransferase (PFP) was used as an indicator of conformational changes due to ligand binding. Binding of the substrates and the allosteric activator fructose-2,6-bisphosphate was quantitatively compared to their respective kinetic effects on enzymatic
