Describe how phosphofructokinase activity is regulated in glycolysis? Also further describe the effects of the regulation?

Solutions

Expert Solution

PFK ( phosphofructokinase) is main regulatory of glycolysis cycle. This enzyme catalyzed conversion of fructose 6 phosphate in to fructose 1,6 bis phosphate. This is am allosteric enzyme, various allosteric modulators affect activity of the enzyme.

Main allosteric activator of the enzyme are ADP, H ion , fructose 2,6 bis phosphate ( F 2,6 BP) .

Allosteric inhibitors are , all the high energy status signals ATP, NADH, citrate

Fructose 2,6 bis phosphate, is an important regulator of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. F 2, 6 BP activate PFK 1 thus promote glycolysis. At ths same time F2,6 BP inhibits fructose 1,6 bis phosphates and inhibit gluconeogenesis. Thus this compound regulates both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis.

This regulation has been explained in attached image below

Another highly regulated enzyme in glycolysis is phosphofructokinase (PFK1). There is evidence from some tumors that PFK1 undergoes a posttranslational proteolysis that yields a truncated functional enzyme (47 kD vs 85 kD) that is insensitive to citrate and ATP. How might this work and why would it be beneficial for a tumor cell? Several isoforms of pyruvate kinase (PK) exist, including PK-M2 which exists mainly in embryonic and adult stem cells. PK-M2 has also been found in many tumor cells,...
