title: Interaction of mannose-6-phosphate with the hysteretic transition in glucose-6-phosphate hydrolysis in intact liver microsomes.
abstract: We showed previously that glucose-6-phosphatase activity was characterised in intact liver microsomes by a hysteretic transition between a rapid and a slower catalytic form of the enzyme. We have now further investigated the substrate specificity of these two kinetic forms. It was found that the pre-incubation of intact microsomes with mannose-6-phosphate or glucose-6-phosphate (50 microM for 30 s) suppressed the burst in glucose-6-phosphatase activity, that the hysteretic transition was reversible and that mannose-6-phosphate inhibited glucose-6-phosphate hydrolysis during the first seconds of incubation, but not anymore after the burst. Our results indicate (i) that mannose-6-phosphate is recognised by the enzyme and can promote the hysteretic transition and (ii) that the transient phase is part of the catalytic mechanism itself.
