چکیده
Large single crystals of rabbit liver fructose-1,6-diphosphatase suitable for a high resolution structure analysis have been grown from polyethylene glycol. The space group of these crystals is I222 with a = 75 A, b = 81 A, and c = 132 A and there are 2 tetrameric molecules in the unit cell. These crystals have one protein subunit as the crystallographic asymmetric unit and establish point group symmetry 222 as the molecular symmetry.

Crystalline Alkaline Form Fructose-1,6=diphosphatase
A simple and rapid procedure has been found for the preparation of highly pure alkaline form fructose-1,6-diphosphatase from turkey liver. The protein is tetrameric and is composed of subunits comprised of a 29,000 molecular weight core fragment and an associated 7,000-dalton Speptide. Large single crystals of the protein, suitable for xray diffraction analysis, are produced in the course of th...
متن کاملInhibition of bovine hepatic fructose-1,6-diphosphatase by substrate analogs.
Purified bovine hepatic fructose-1,6-diphosphatase, which exhibits maximal activity at neutral pH, is competitively inhibited by several analogs of its substrate, fructose 1,6-diphosphate. These include glucose 1,6-diphosphate (Ki = 9.4 X 10(-5) M), hexitol 1,6-diphosphate (Ki = 2.3 X 10(-4) M), and 2,5-anhydro-D-mannitol 1,6-diphosphate (Ki = 3.3 X 10(-8) M), and 2,5-anhydro-D-glucitol 1,6-dip...
متن کاملThe functional significance of variants of fructose 1,6-diphosphatase in the gill and hypodermis of a marine crustacean. A kinetic study.
1. In the hypodermis and gill of the Crustacea fructose 1,6-diphosphatase (EC 3.1.3.11) functions at a primary branch point between glycogen and chitin synthesis. In these tissues of the Arctic king-crab, Paralithodes camtchatica, fructose diphosphatase occurs in two electrophoretically distinguishable forms. 2. Fructose diphosphatase I (pI7.2-7.5) accounts for 70 and 10% of total fructose diph...
متن کاملMetabolism of D-fructose in Aerobacter aerogenes: analysis of mutants lacking D-fructose 6-phosphate kinase and D-fructose 1,6-diphosphatase.
The relative significance of the pathways for the conversion of d-fructose to d-fructose 1,6-diphosphate via d-fructose 1-phosphate or d-fructose 6-phosphate in Aerobacter aerogenes PRL-R3 was assessed by observing growth patterns of mutants lacking either d-fructose 6-phosphate kinase or d-fructose 1,6-diphosphatase. The mutant lacking d-fructose 6-phosphate kinase grew well on d-fructose or g...
متن کاملMolecular and biochemical characterization of a distinct type of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase from Pyrococcus furiosus.
The Pyrococcus furiosus fbpA gene was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli, and the fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase produced was subsequently purified and characterized. The dimeric enzyme showed a preference for fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, with a K(m) of 0.32 mM and a V(max) of 12.2 U/mg. The P. furiosus fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase was strongly inhibited by Li(+) (50% inhibitory concentration, ...
