Regulation of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate metabolism in human fibroblasts. 1986

P Bruni, and V Vasta, and M Farnararo

In the present work, the mechanism involved in the regulation of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (fructose-2,6-P2) metabolism in human fibroblasts has been studied. Various agents like serum, insulin and adrenaline known to affect glycolysis have been investigated for their ability to influence fructose 2,6-P2 metabolism in confluent human fibroblasts. Serum appears to be the most potent activator of fructose-2,6-P2 levels and capable of inducing a marked increase in 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase (ATP: D-fructose-6-phosphate-2-phosphotransferase), EC 2.7.1. 105). To a lesser extent insulin has the same effects. The increase in enzyme activity elicited by serum and insulin does not require de novo protein synthesis since the process is insensitive to cycloheximide. Incubation of fibroblasts in the presence of adrenaline is responsible for a significant rise in fructose-2,6-P2 levels without affecting 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase. Similar experiments performed on glucose-starved or cytochalasin B-treated cells show that the effects elicited by all the agents are strictly dependent on glucose availability.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D010732 Phosphofructokinase-1 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. D-tagatose- 6-phosphate and sedoheptulose-7-phosphate also are acceptors. UTP, CTP, and ITP also are donors. In human phosphofructokinase-1, three types of subunits have been identified. They are PHOSPHOFRUCTOKINASE-1, MUSCLE TYPE; PHOSPHOFRUCTOKINASE-1, LIVER TYPE; and PHOSPHOFRUCTOKINASE-1, TYPE C; found in platelets, brain, and other tissues. 6-Phosphofructokinase,6-Phosphofructo-1-kinase,Fructose-6-P 1-Kinase,Fructose-6-phosphate 1-Phosphotransferase,6 Phosphofructokinase,Phosphofructokinase 1
