title: Expression and regulation of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose- 2,6-bisphosphatase isozymes in white adipose tissue.
abstract: The aim of this work was to identify the 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (PFK-2/FBPase-2) isozyme(s) present in white adipose tissue. Ion-exchange chromatography of PFK-2 from rat epididymal fat pads yielded an elution pattern compatible with the presence of both the L (liver) and M (muscle) isozymes. This was consistent with a study of the phosphorylation of the purified adipose tissue enzyme by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, by specific labelling of the preparation with [2-32P]fructose 2,6-bisphosphate and by reaction with antibodies. Characterization of the PFK-2/FBPase-2 mRNAs showed that mature adipocytes express the mRNA that codes for the L isozyme and the two mRNAs that code for the M isozyme. Preadipocytes expressed mRNA that codes for the M isozyme. Incubation of rat epididymal fat pads with adrenaline stimulated glycolysis but decreased fructose 2,6-bisphosphate concentrations without significant inactivation of PFK-2. These results support previous findings showing that fructose 2,6-bisphosphate is not involved in the adrenaline-induced stimulation of glycolysis in white adipose tissue.
