Metabolism of the acutely ischemic dog heart. II. Interpretation of a model. 1979

D Garfinkel, and M J Achs

The glycolytic oscillations occurring in an acutely ischemic dog heart are analyzed with a computer model. The major regulations of the glycolytic pathway flux occur at phosphohexose isomerase, which is inhibited by accumulated pentose shunt intermediates; at phosphorylase, which shapes the first cycle of the oscillation; and at aldolase, which shapes the last two cycles. Aldolase is not under normal substrate control. Its activity, and that of some subsequent glycolytic enzymes, appears to be regulated by known interactions with the muscle proteins. The mitochondria become reduced as a result of anoxia, and their metabolism reorganizes to export rather than import reducing equivalents. It is in general feasible to account for the behavior of this preparation in terms of the known metabolism of less severely perturbed hearts, especially (but not completely) in terms of effects of anoxia. The reasons for the inapplicability of the crossover theorem previously used to analyze this preparation are described.

D005956	Glucose-6-Phosphate Isomerase	An aldose-ketose isomerase that catalyzes the reversible interconversion of glucose 6-phosphate and fructose 6-phosphate. In prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms it plays an essential role in glycolytic and gluconeogenic pathways. In mammalian systems the enzyme is found in the cytoplasm and as a secreted protein. This secreted form of glucose-6-phosphate isomerase has been referred to as autocrine motility factor or neuroleukin, and acts as a cytokine which binds to the AUTOCRINE MOTILITY FACTOR RECEPTOR. Deficiency of the enzyme in humans is an autosomal recessive trait, which results in CONGENITAL NONSPHEROCYTIC HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA.
