Two phosphofructokinase (PFK) chimeras were constructed by exchanging the N- and C-terminal halves of the mammalian M- and C-type isozymes, to investigate the contribution of each terminus to the catalytic site and the fructose-2,6-P(2)/fructose-1,6-P(2) allosteric site. The homogeneously-purified chimeric enzymes organized into tetramers, and exhibited kinetic properties for fructose-6-P and MgATP similar to those of the native enzyme that furnished the N-terminal domain in each case, whereas their fructose-2,6-P(2) activatory characteristics coincided with those of the isozyme that provided the C-terminal half. This reflected the role of each domain in the formation of the corresponding binding site. Grafting the N-terminus of PFK-M onto the C-terminus of the fructose-1,6-P(2) insensitive PFK-C restored transduction of this signal to the catalytic site, which significance is also discussed.

D007527 Isoenzymes Structurally related forms of an enzyme. Each isoenzyme has the same mechanism and classification, but differs in its chemical, physical, or immunological characteristics. Alloenzyme,Allozyme,Isoenzyme,Isozyme,Isozymes,Alloenzymes,Allozymes
D008024 Ligands A molecule that binds to another molecule, used especially to refer to a small molecule that binds specifically to a larger molecule, e.g., an antigen binding to an antibody, a hormone or neurotransmitter binding to a receptor, or a substrate or allosteric effector binding to an enzyme. Ligands are also molecules that donate or accept a pair of electrons to form a coordinate covalent bond with the central metal atom of a coordination complex. (From Dorland, 27th ed) Ligand

D017434 Protein Structure, Tertiary The level of protein structure in which combinations of secondary protein structures (ALPHA HELICES; BETA SHEETS; loop regions, and AMINO ACID MOTIFS) pack together to form folded shapes. Disulfide bridges between cysteines in two different parts of the polypeptide chain along with other interactions between the chains play a role in the formation and stabilization of tertiary structure. Tertiary Protein Structure,Protein Structures, Tertiary,Tertiary Protein Structures
D025203 Phosphofructokinase-1, Muscle Type An allosteric enzyme that regulates glycolysis by catalyzing the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to fructose-6-phosphate to yield fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. In humans, PHOSPHOFRUCTOKINASE-1 in muscle exists as the homotetramer of M subunits. Defects in this muscle enzyme cause GLYCOGEN STORAGE DISEASE TYPE VII, also known as Tarui's disease. 6-Phosphofructokinase, Muscle Type,Phosphofructo-1-kinase Isozyme A,Phosphofructokinase 1, Muscle Type
