Anomeric specificity of D-glucose metabolism study in rat and human erythrocytes
نویسنده
چکیده
The anomeric specificity of D-glucose metabolism in erythrocytes has been since 1985 the matter of extensive investigations reported in about ten publications. The present report aims at providing an integrated review of the major findings on this issue.

Anomeric specificity of hexokinase in rat, human, and murine tumor cells.
In tumoral cells derived from the insulin-producing rat cell line RINm5F, both low- and high-Km glucose-phosphorylating enzymic activities were present. The hexokinase-like enzyme was inhibited by glucose 6-phosphate and displayed a greater affinity for but lower maximal velocity with alpha-D-glucose than beta-D-glucose. A comparable anomeric behavior of hexokinase was observed in breast cancer...
متن کاملStudies on mutarotases. II. Investigations of possible rate-limiting anomerizations in glucose metabolism.
The possible involvement of mutarotases in glucose metabolism has been studied by examining the anomeric specificities of a number of glycolytic enzymes. Hexokinases from yeast or Ehrlich ascites tumor cells showed only a marginal preference for the cx anomer of glucose. (All configurations, unless otherwise specified, refer to the D configuration of glucose and its derivatives.) The K, values ...
متن کاملIs glucokinase responsible for the anomeric specificity of glycolysis in pancreatic islets?
At a low concentration of D-glucose (3.3 mM), the phosphorylation rate of this hexose in rat pancreatic islet homogenates incubated at 8 degrees C is higher with the beta- than with the alpha-anomer, as expected from the anomeric specificity of hexokinase. In the presence of a high concentration of glucose 6-phosphate (3.0 mM), which inhibits hexokinase but not glucokinase, the phosphorylation ...
متن کاملTautomeric and anomeric specificity of allosteric activation of yeast pyruvate kinase by D-fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate and its relevance in D-glucose catabolism.
In aqueous solution Dfructose 1,6-bisphosphate (FBP)? exists as equilibrium mixture of 20 + 4% a-D-fructofuranose 1,6-bisphosphate, 80 f 10% /3-Dfructofuranose 1,6-bisphosphate, and less than 1.5% of the open chain [l-4] . The two anomeric forms are spontaneously interconvertible via the open chain tautomer. The first order rate constant for the ring opening of the o!-D-fructofuranose 1,6-bisph...
متن کاملReversible Dissociation of Glycolytic Enzymes: Kinetic Studies on Lactate Dehydrogenase, Glyceraldehyde 3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase and Aldolase
e.g. phosphoglucomutase, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and fructose 6-phosphate kinase. However, if the reaction occurs distant from the anomeric carbon atom of the substrate the enzymes show no anomeric specificity, e.g. hexokinase, glucokinase and glucose 6-phosphatase (Wurster & Hess, 1974~). A search for enzymes catalysing anomerization reactions leads to the following conclusion. For D...
