The rat cDNA for the muscle-type (M) isozyme of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase (PFK-2)/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase-2) contains two putative translation initiation sites. To determine whether the M isozyme expressed in rat skeletal muscle corresponds to the short (PFK2M-sf) or the long (PFK2M-lf) isoform, we have expressed them in Escherichia coli. A third construction was also expressed in which the second ATG codon was deleted (PFK2M-lf delta ATG) to ensure that initiation started at the first ATG. The properties of these recombinant proteins were compared with those of the PFK-2/FBPase-2 present in rat skeletal muscle and liver. The recombinant proteins displayed PFK-2 and FBPase-2 activities and the M(r) values of the subunits measured by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were compatible with the calculated ones. The purified recombinant lf form contained not only the expected lf band (54,500 M(r)) but also the sf band (52,000 M(r)), indicating that the expression system could synthesize the long and the short isoforms from the same mRNA. The kinetic properties of the recombinant sf form were not different from those of the rat muscle enzyme. By contrast, lf delta ATG PFK-2 displayed a higher Km for its substrates and a lower Vmax. Immunoblotting with an antibody directed against the long isoform revealed a 54,500 M(r) band both in the lf and the lf delta ATG recombinant, but no band in rat skeletal muscle extracts. In these extracts, one band of 52,000 and a minor one of 54,500 M(r) were detected by an anti PFK-2/FBPase-2 antibody. The 54,500 M(r) band was recognized by an antibody directed against the L isozyme, suggesting that a small amount of the latter is expressed in skeletal muscle. Thus, the M isozyme differs from the L isozyme by replacement of the first 32 amino acids of the L isozyme by an unrelated nonapeptide.

DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
