title: Amino-acids imitate the EDTA activation on the fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase of mantle tissue from the sea mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis Lmk).
abstract: In the absence of AMP and Fru-2,6-P2, several amino-acids such as histidine, lysine, alanine, aspartic acid, and other molecules, as reduced glutathione or citrate, activate FBPase-1 from Mytilus galloprovincialis mantle. AMP decreases Vmax and Km for Fru-1,6-P2 both in the absence and in the presence of activators; but the addition of Fru-2,6-P2 decreases the affinity of the enzyme by its substrate. Na+ acts as a inhibitor reducing both Vmax and Km. The Km value is lower than the physiological level of Fru-1,6-P2, suggesting that the enzyme is operative but its activity is very reduced.
