Abstract

Bovine brain 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase was purified to homogeneity and characterized. This bifunctional enzyme is a homodimer with a subunit molecular weight of 120,000, which is twice that of all other known bifunctional enzyme isozymes. The kinase/bisphosphatase activity ratio was 3.0. The Km values for fructose 6-phosphate and ATP of the 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase were 27 and 55 microM, respectively. The Km for fructose 2,6-bisphosphate and the Ki for fructose 6-phosphate for the bisphosphatase were 70 and 20 microM, respectively. Physiologic concentrations of citrate had reciprocal effects on the enzyme's activities, i.e. inhibiting the kinase (Ki of 35 microM) and activating the bisphosphatase (Ka of 16 microM). Phosphorylation of the brain enzyme was catalyzed by the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase with a stoichiometry of 0.9 mol of phosphate/mol of subunit and at a rate similar to that seen with the liver isozyme. In contrast to the liver isozyme, the kinetic properties of the brain enzyme were unaffected by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylation, and also was not a substrate for protein kinase C. The brain isozyme formed a labeled phosphoenzyme intermediate and cross-reacted with antibodies raised against the liver isozyme. However, the NH2-terminal amino acid sequence of a peptide generated by cyanogen bromide cleavage of the enzyme had no identity with any known bifunctional enzyme sequences. These results indicate that a novel isozyme, which is related to other 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase isozymes, is expressed specifically in neural tissues.
