title: Metabolism of glycerate-2,3-P2--IV. Effect of Hg2+ on the enzymes involved in the metabolism of glycerate-2,3-P2 in pig skeletal muscle.
abstract: Type M phosphoglycerate mutase and skeletal muscle bisphosphoglycerate synthase-phosphatase from pig are similarly affected by Hg2+. Both enzymes lose the phosphoglycerate mutase and the glycerate-2,3-P2 synthase activities, and increase the glycerate-2,3-P2 phosphatase activity upon Hg2+-treatment. In contrast, bisphosphoglycerate phosphatase from pig skeletal muscle is inactivated by Hg2+. These results confirm the similarity between phosphoglycerate mutase and bisphosphoglycerate synthase-phosphatase. In addition they support the existence of separate binding sites for monophosphoglycerates and for bisphosphoglycerates at the phosphoglycerate mutase active site.
