title: Effects of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate and glucose 1,6-bisphosphate on phosphofructokinase from chicken erythrocytes.
abstract: 1. Phosphofructokinase (EC 2.7.1.11) from chicken erythrocytes is activated by fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, glucose 1,6-bisphosphate and AMP, and it is inhibited by 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate and inositol hexaphosphate. 2. The stimulatory effects produced by the two bisphosphorylated hexoses are additive and the effects produced by fructose 2,6-bisphosphate and by AMP are synergistic. 3. The activatory effect produced by fructose 2,6-bisphosphate is counteracted by fructose 1,6-bisphosphate. 4. The inhibition produced by both 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate and inositol hexaphosphate is released by fructose 2,6-bisphosphate. 5. It is concluded that, like phosphofructokinase from mammalian tissues, the enzyme from chicken erythrocytes can be modulated by the relative concentrations of those metabolites.
