title: Functional characterization of the enzymes with 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate phosphatase activity from pig skeletal muscle.
abstract: In pig skeletal muscle exist four enzymes with 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate phosphatase activity. Two of them (forms I-A and I-C) are multi-functional enzymes which, in addition to the phosphatase activity, possess 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate synthase and phosphoglycerate mutase activities. The other two enzyme forms (II-A and II-B) only show the phosphatase activity. The four enzymes differ in substrate specificity. Form I-C is highly specific for glycerate 2,3-P2; form I-A also hydrolyzes the monophosphoglycerates and forms II-A and II-B are specific for phosphoester bonds adjacent to a C-1 carboxylic group. The enzymes possess similar Km, Kcat and optimum pH value, but they are differently inhibited by the reaction products. They are also differently affected by glycolate-2-P (their main activator) and by other modifiers. Probably form I-A, which corresponds to M-type phosphoglycerate mutase, is the main enzyme implicated in the breakdown of glycerate 2,3-P2 in pig muscle.
