| Abstract |
Phosphofructokinase from the posterior gills of the euryhaline crab Eriocheir sinensis acclimated to freshwater is likely regulated in part via phosphorylation induced by endogenous cyclic nucleotide-dependent protein kinases. Phosphofructokinase from gill extracts devoid of low molecular weight compounds by chromatography through a PD10 Sephadex column, incubated in the presence of cAMP or cGMP protein kinases activators (cAMP or cGMP, Mg-ATP and Mg2+), shows an increased catalytic activity. This treatment is accompanied by 32P incorporation into the proteins immunoprecipitated with anti-mammalian phosphofructokinase polyclonal antibodies cross-reacting with the analog crustacean enzyme. Our results indicate that the covalent modification induced by these nucleotide-dependent protein kinases activates the glycolytic enzyme by increasing its affinity for its substrate and, when the activation is specifically due to cAMP-dependent protein kinases, by also reducing the homotropic cooperativity between its multiple substrate binding sites. |
