title: [The effect of insulin on the catalytic efficacy of rat skeletal muscle hexokinase isoenzyme II].
abstract: The effect of insulin on the intracellular localization of rat skeletal muscle hexokinase isozyme II (hexokinase II) was studied in vivo. It was found that after injection of the hormone the glucose concentration in the muscle gradually increases in parallel with the hexokinase II redistribution between the cytosol and the mitochondrial fraction in the direction of the bound form of the enzyme. This effect of insulin is due to glucose, an indispensable participant of the complex formation between the enzyme and the mitochondrial membrane. It was shown that the effect of glucose as a hexokinase II adsorbing reagent is a highly specific one. The hexokinase II binding to mitochondria in the presence of glucose is accompanied by changes in some kinetic properties of the enzyme. A kinetic analysis of catalytic efficiency of the free and bound hexokinase II forms revealed that the catalytic efficiency of hexokinase II within the composition of the enzyme-membrane complex exceeds by two orders of magnitude that of the free enzyme. The data obtained are discussed in the framework of an adsorption mechanism of hexokinase activity regulation in the cell.
