Abstract
Partially purified fructose-6-P,2-kinase:fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase from beef heart was phosphorylated by cAMP protein kinase. The phosphorylated fructose-6-P,2-kinase shows lower Km for Fru-6-P (43 versus 105 microM) and for ATP (0.55 versus 1.3 mM) but no change in the Vmax, compared to those for unphosphorylated enzyme. There was no detectable change in Km or Vmax of fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase activity by the phosphorylation. These changes in heart fructose-6-P,2-kinase were in direct contrast to previous results for the liver isozyme in which phosphorylation led to inhibition of the kinase activity and activation of the phosphatase activity.
