Abstract
The active and allosteric sites of fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (Fru-P 2ase, EC 3.1.3.11) were labeled by reaction with pyridoxal phosphate and sodium borohydride in the presence of the allosteric inhibitor AMP or the substrate, Fru-P 2, respectively. Modification of the active site results in loss of activity. Modification of the allosteric site decreases the sensitivity of the enzyme to inhibition by AMP and alters its ability to bind to blue dextran-Sepharose. The allosteric and active sites have been located on different cyanogen bromide peptides; the sequence of a nonapeptide from the active site is (H)GlyLysLeuArgLeuLeu TyrGluCys(OH). The lysyl residue is modified by pyridoxal phosphate.
