Regulation of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate concentration in white adipose tissue.

ABSTRACT: Injection of insulin to fed rats diminished the concentration of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate in white adipose tissue. Incubation of epididymal fat-pads or adipocytes with insulin stimulated lactate release and sugar detritiation and also decreased fructose 2,6-bisphosphate concentration. Such a decrease was, however, not observed in fat-pads from starved or alloxan-diabetic rats. Incubation of adipocytes from fed rats with various concentrations of glucose or fructose led to a dose-dependent rise in fructose 2,6-bisphosphate which correlated with lactate output and detritiation of 3-3H-labelled sugar. In adipocytes from fed rats, palmitate stimulated the detritiation of [3-3H]glucose without affecting lactate production and fructose 2,6-bisphosphate concentration. Incubation of epididymal fat-pads from fed rats in the presence of antimycin stimulated lactate output but decreased fructose 2,6-bisphosphate concentration. Changes in lipolytic rates brought about by noradrenaline, insulin, adenosine and corticotropin in adipocytes from fed rats were not related to changes in fructose 2,6-bisphosphate or to rates of lactate output. In fed rats, the activity of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase was not changed after treatment of adipocytes with insulin, noradrenaline or adenosine. It is suggested that the decrease in fructose 2,6-bisphosphate concentration observed after insulin treatment can be explained by the increase in sn-glycerol 3-phosphate, an inhibitor of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase.

14-3-3s regulate fructose-2,6-bisphosphate levels by binding to PKB-phosphorylated cardiac fructose-2,6-bisphosphate kinase/phosphatase.

Project description:The cardiac isoform of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/ fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (PFK-2), regulator of the glycolysis-stimulating fructose-2,6-bisphosphate, was among human HeLa cell proteins that were eluted from a 14-3-3 affinity column using the phosphopeptide ARAApSAPA. Tryptic mass fingerprinting and phospho-specific antibodies showed that Ser466 and Ser483 of 14-3-3-affinity-purified PFK-2 were phosphorylated. 14-3-3 binding was abolished by selectively dephosphorylating Ser483, and 14-3-3 binding was restored when both Ser466 and Ser483 were phosphorylated with PKB, but not when Ser466 alone was phosphorylated by AMPK. Furthermore, the phosphopeptide RNYpS(483)VGS blocked binding of PFK-2 to 14-3-3s. These data indicate that 14-3-3s bind to phosphorylated Ser483. When HeLa cells expressing HA-tagged PFK-2 were co-transfected with active PKB or stimulated with IGF-1, HA-PFK-2 was phosphorylated and bound to 14-3-3s. The response to IGF-1 was abolished by PI 3-kinase inhibitors. In addition, IGF-1 promoted the binding of endogenous PFK-2 to 14-3-3s. When cells were transduced with penetratin-linked AARAApSAPA, we found that this reagent bound specifically to 14-3-3s, blocked the IGF-1-induced binding of HA-PFK-2 to 14-3-3s, and completely inhibited the IGF-1-induced increase in cellular fructose-2,6-bisphosphate. These findings suggest that PKB-dependent binding of 14-3-3s to phospho-Ser483 of cardiac PFK-2 mediates the stimulation of glycolysis by growth factor.

Hormonal control of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate concentration in isolated rat hepatocytes.

Project description:The ability of glucagon and of adrenaline to affect the concentration of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate in isolated hepatocytes was re-investigated because of important discrepancies existing in the literature. We were unable to detect a significant difference in the sensitivity of the hepatocytes with regard to the effect of glucagon to initiate the interconversion of phosphorylase, pyruvate kinase, 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase and fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase, and also to cause the disappearance of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate. In contrast, we have observed differences in the time-course of these various changes, since the interconversions of phosphorylase and of pyruvate kinase were at least twice as fast as those of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase and of fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase. When measured in a cell-free system in the presence of MgATP, the cyclic AMP-dependent interconversion of pyruvate kinase was 5-10-fold more rapid than those of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase and of fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase. These data indicate that 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase and fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase are relatively poor substrates for cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase; they also support the hypothesis that the two catalytic activities belong to a single protein. Adrenaline had only a slight effect on the several parameters under investigation, except for the activation of phosphorylase. In the absence of Ca2+ ions from the incubation medium, however, adrenaline had an effect similar to that of glucagon.

Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate in rat erythrocytes. Inhibition of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate synthesis and measurement by glycerate 2,3-bisphosphate.

Project description:The concentration of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate found in freshly isolated erythrocytes was below the limit of detection (20 pmol/ml of packed cells). However, it increased to about 250 pmol/ml of cells when erythrocytes were incubated with glucose at pH 6.9, but not at pH 7.4 or 8.2. This could be explained by variations in the content of glycerate 2,3-bisphosphate, which was found to inhibit 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase, the enzyme responsible for fructose 2,6-bisphosphate synthesis. Glycerate 2,3-bisphosphate was also found to inhibit the potato enzyme (pyrophosphate:fructose-6-phosphate 1-phosphotransferase) used for the measurement of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate.

Central cavity of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase and the evolution of AMP/fructose 2,6-bisphosphate synergism in eukaryotic organisms.

Project description:The effects of AMP and fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6-P2) on porcine fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (pFBPase) and Escherichia coli FBPase (eFBPase) differ in three respects. AMP/Fru-2,6-P2 synergism in pFBPase is absent in eFBPase. Fru-2,6-P2 induces a 13° subunit pair rotation in pFBPase but no rotation in eFBPase. Hydrophilic side chains in eFBPase occupy what otherwise would be a central aqueous cavity observed in pFBPase. Explored here is the linkage of AMP/Fru-2,6-P2 synergism to the central cavity and the evolution of synergism in FBPases. The single mutation Ser(45) → His substantially fills the central cavity of pFBPase, and the triple mutation Ser(45) → His, Thr(46) → Arg, and Leu(186) → Tyr replaces porcine with E. coli type side chains. Both single and triple mutations significantly reduce synergism while retaining other wild-type kinetic properties. Similar to the effect of Fru-2,6-P2 on eFBPase, the triple mutant of pFBPase with bound Fru-2,6-P2 exhibits only a 2° subunit pair rotation as opposed to the 13° rotation exhibited by the Fru-2,6-P2 complex of wild-type pFBPase. The side chain at position 45 is small in all available eukaryotic FBPases but large and hydrophilic in bacterial FBPases, similar to eFBPase. Sequence information indicates the likelihood of synergism in the FBPase from Leptospira interrogans (lFBPase), and indeed recombinant lFBPase exhibits AMP/Fru-2,6-P2 synergism. Unexpectedly, however, AMP also enhances Fru-6-P binding to lFBPase. Taken together, these observations suggest the evolution of AMP/Fru-2,6-P2 synergism in eukaryotic FBPases from an ancestral FBPase having a central aqueous cavity and exhibiting synergistic feedback inhibition by AMP and Fru-6-P.

Enzymatic intracrine regulation of white adipose tissue.

Project description:Abdominal fat formation has become a permanent risk factor for metabolic syndrome and various cancers in one-third of the world's population of obese and even lean patients. Formation of abdominal fat involves additional mechanisms beyond an imbalance in energy intake and expenditure, which explains systemic obesity. In this review, we briefly summarized autonomous regulatory circuits that locally produce hormones from inactive precursors or nutrients for intra-/auto-/paracrine signaling in white adipose depots. Enzymatic pathways activating steroid and thyroid hormones in adipose depots were compared with enzymatic production of retinoic acid from vitamin A. We discussed the role of intracrine circuits in fat-depot functions and strategies to reduce abdominal adiposity through thermogenic adipocytes with interrupted generation of retinoic acid.

Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate synthesis by 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase 4 (PFKFB4) is required for the glycolytic response to hypoxia and tumor growth.

Project description:Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (F2,6BP) is a shunt product of glycolysis that allosterically activates 6-phosphofructo-1-kinase (PFK-1) resulting in increased glucose uptake and glycolytic flux to lactate. The F2,6BP concentration is dictated by four bifunctional 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatases (PFKFB1-4) with distinct kinase:phosphatase activities. PFKFB4 is over-expressed in human cancers, induced by hypoxia and required for survival and growth of several cancer cell lines. Although PFKFB4 appears to be a rational target for anti-neoplastic drug development, it is not clear whether its kinase or phosphatase activity is required for cancer cell survival. In this study, we demonstrate that recombinant human PFKFB4 kinase activity is 4.3-fold greater than its phosphatase activity, siRNA and genomic deletion of PFKFB4 decrease F2,6BP, PFKFB4 over-expression increases F2,6BP and selective PFKFB4 inhibition in vivo markedly reduces F2,6BP, glucose uptake and ATP. Last, we find that PFKFB4 is required for cancer cell survival during the metabolic response to hypoxia, presumably to enable glycolytic production of ATP when the electron transport chain is not fully operational. Taken together, our data indicate that the PFKFB4 expressed in multiple transformed cells and tumors functions to synthesize F2,6BP. We predict that pharmacological disruption of the PFKFB4 kinase domain may have clinical utility for the treatment of human cancers.

Subunit interactions and composition of the fructose 6-phosphate catalytic site and the fructose 2,6-bisphosphate allosteric site of mammalian phosphofructokinase.

Project description:Mammalian phosphofructokinase originated by duplication, fusion, and divergence of a primitive prokaryotic gene, with the duplicated fructose 6-phosphate catalytic site in the C-terminal half becoming an allosteric site for the activator fructose 2,6-bisphosphate. It has been suggested that both sites are shared across the interface between subunits aligned in an antiparallel orientation, the N-terminal half of one subunit facing the C-terminal half of the other. The composition of these binding sites and the way in which subunits interact to form the dimer within the tetrameric enzyme have been reexamined by systematic point mutations to alanine of key amino acid residues of human muscle phosphofructokinase. We found that residues His-199, His-298, Arg-201, and Arg-292 contribute to the catalytic site and not to the allosteric site, because their mutation decreased the affinity for fructose 6-phosphate without affecting the activation by fructose 2,6-bisphosphate or its binding affinity. In contrast, residues Arg-566, Arg-655, and His-661 were critical components of the fructose bisphosphate allosteric site, because their mutation strongly reduced the action and affinity of the activator, with no alteration of substrate binding to the active site. Our results suggest that mammalian phosphofructokinase subunits associate with the N-terminal halves facing each other to form the two catalytic sites/dimer and the C-terminal halves forming the allosteric sites. Additionally, mutation of certain residues eliminated activation by fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, but not its binding, with little effect on activation by fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, indicating a divergence in the signal transduction route despite their binding to the same site.

Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate in livers of genetically obese rats.

Project description:Livers of genetically obese (fa/fa) rats, starved for 24 h, contained more fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, glucose 6-phosphate, fructose 6-phosphate and glycogen, and more pyruvate kinase and phosphofructokinase 2 activities, than livers of control lean rats. These changes may be explained in terms of cyclic AMP concentration, which was decreased in livers of obese starved rats.

Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate in rat skeletal muscle during contraction.

Project description:Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate and several glycolytic intermediates were measured in two rat muscles, extensor digitorum longus and gastrocnemius, which were electrically stimulated in situ. Both the duration and the frequency of stimulation were varied to obtain different rates of glycolysis. There was no relationship between fructose 2,6-bisphosphate content and the increase in tissue lactate in contracting muscle. However, in gastrocnemius stimulated at low frequencies (less than or equal to 5 Hz), there was a 2-fold increase in fructose 2,6-bisphosphate at 10s, followed by a return to basal values, whereas lactate increased only after 1 min of contraction. The concentrations of hexose 6-phosphates, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate and triose phosphates were all increased during the 3 min stimulation. During tetanus (frequencies greater than or equal to 10 Hz) fructose 2,6-bisphosphate was not increased, whereas glycolysis was maximally stimulated and resulted in an accumulation of tissue lactate, mostly from glycogen. The concentrations of hexose 6-phosphate increased continuously during the 1 min tetanus, whereas fructose 1,6-bisphosphate was increased at 10s and then decreased progressively. It therefore appears that fructose 2,6-bisphosphate does not play a role in the stimulation of glycolysis during tetanus; it may, however, be involved in the control of glycolysis when the muscles are stimulated at low frequencies for short periods of time.

Structure of fructose bisphosphate aldolase from Bartonella henselae bound to fructose 1,6-bisphosphate.

Project description:Fructose bisphosphate aldolase (FBPA) enzymes have been found in a broad range of eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. FBPA catalyses the cleavage of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate into glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate. The SSGCID has reported several FBPA structures from pathogenic sources, including the bacterium Brucella melitensis and the protozoan Babesia bovis. Bioinformatic analysis of the Bartonella henselae genome revealed an FBPA homolog. The B. henselae FBPA enzyme was recombinantly expressed and purified for X-ray crystallographic studies. The purified enzyme crystallized in the apo form but failed to diffract; however, well diffracting crystals could be obtained by cocrystallization in the presence of the native substrate fructose 1,6-bisphosphate. A data set to 2.35 Å resolution was collected from a single crystal at 100 K. The crystal belonged to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a=72.39, b=127.71, c=157.63 Å. The structure was refined to a final free R factor of 22.2%. The structure shares the typical barrel tertiary structure and tetrameric quaternary structure reported for previous FBPA structures and exhibits the same Schiff base in the active site.
