title: Control of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate levels in rat macrophages by glucose and phorbol ester.
abstract: The presence of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (Fru 2,6-P2) in elicited peritoneal macrophages of rat was examined. These cells possess an active phosphofructokinase-2 which is diminished by citrate and only slightly inhibited by glycerol 3-phosphate. Phosphofructokinase-1 submaximal activity was increased 26-fold by the addition of 1 microM Fru 2,6-P2. Incubation of cells without glucose decreased the amount of Fru 2,6-P2 to zero, but further addition of 5 mM glucose increased the levels of the sugar ester 20-fold. In addition, the presence of phorbol ester potentiated the synthesis of Fru 2,6-P2. By contrast phenylisopropyladenosine or prostaglandin F2 alpha inhibited the production of Fru 2,6-P2.
