title: Membrane potential-dependent conformational changes in mitochondrially bound hexokinase of brain.
abstract: Previously characterized monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) were used in a study of Type I hexokinase from rat brain. Based on the relative reactivity of these Mabs with soluble and mitochondrially bound forms, binding to mitochondria was shown to affect specific epitopic regions in both N- and C-terminal halves of the enzyme and to modulate conformational changes induced by binding of the ligands, Glc or ATP. Reactivities with Mabs recognizing epitopes in two defined regions of the N-terminal half and one defined region of the C-terminal half of the mitochondrially bound enzyme were selectively affected by mitochondrial membrane potential, or by addition of oligomycin, carboxyatractyloside, or bongkrekic acid. The Glc-6-P analog, 1 ,5-anhydroglucitol-6-P, was much more effective as a competitive inhibitor against extramitochondrial ATP than against intramitochondrial ATP generated by oxidative phosphorylation. These results provide further insight into the role of hexokinase-mitochondrial interactions in regulation of cerebral glucose metabolism.
