title: Human erythrocyte phosphoglucomutase: comparison of the kinetic properties of PGM1 and PGM2 isoenzymes.
abstract: Kinetic properties of PGM1 and PGM2 phosphoglucomutase "primary" isoenzymes from human erythrocytes were studied. The two enzyme forms share a "ping-pong" kinetic mechanism and show similar Km for substrate (glucose 1-P) and cofactor (glucose 1,6-P2). Micromolar concentrations of fructose 1,6-P2 and glycerate 2,3-P2 inhibit both PGM1 and PGM2 isoenzymes to a similar extent. The sole PGM2 form is affected by ribose monophosphates (ribose 1-P and ribose 5-P) that act as mutase inhibitors vs. glucose 1,6-P2 and as apparent activators vs. glucose 1-P. The interaction between PGM2 isoenzyme and ribose monophosphates is discussed in the light of the ability of this form to also display phosphoribomutase activity.
