[Comparative properties of multiple forms of rabbit muscle phosphofructokinase].
Some properties of three interconvertible forms of rabbit muscle phosphofructokinase specifically eluted from DEAE-cellulose with 19 mM citrate in 0.1 M tris-phosphate buffer, pH 8,0 (I), with 0,3 M buffer (II) and 1.5 M NaCl (III) are compared. Forms I-III differ in specific activities, alpha-helices content and sedimentation properties. The kinetic behaviour of forms I and III in 25 mM glycylglycine-beta-glycerophosphate, pH 8.3, at inhibitory ATP concentrations is characterized by biphasic velocity versus fructose-6-phosphate concentration curves with nH = 1.0 and 2.3, but with different V and [S]0.5 for the respective forms. At pH 6.8 from I is characterized by the kinetic curves with a lag period, while form III--by that with a burst. Form I reveals negative cooperativity in initial and stationary velocities at low substrate concentrations. The stationary velocity of form III is characterized by negative cooperativity within the whole concentration range studied. At pH 7.0 both forms are inhibited by citrate according to the initial and stationary velocities; however, the Ki values are different. The complex kinetic behaviour of phosphofructokinase corresponds to its complex chromatographic and sedimentation behaviour. The multiplicity of the enzyme forms seems to be due to a complex set of its oligomers and conformers and a hysteretic type of transitions between them as well as to its phosphorylation and possible binding of ligands.
