Characterization of two isozymic forms of heart fructose 6-phosphate, 2-kinase:fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase

Abstract:
Occurrence of two isozymic forms of fructose 6-P, 2-kinase: fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase in bovine heart was investigated by transcribing mRNAs and amplifying the cDNAs with polymerase chain reactions. Analysis of the PCR products revealed 1.7 Kb and 1.5 Kb DNAs, and the determination of their nucleotide sequences showed that these DNAs are identical except for the lack of 180 base pairs near the 3' of the bovine heart enzyme DNA previously reported (6). This missing nucleotide sequence encodes Asn451-Gln510 and contains the phosphorylation sites for cAMP dependent protein kinase and protein kinase C.

Phosphorylation
During phosphorylation, protein kinases transfer the terminal phosphate group of ATP to specific amino acid side chains of substrate proteins. Serine, threonine, and tyrosine are the most commonly...
What is Glycolysis?
Cells make energy by breaking down macromolecules. Cellular respiration is the biochemical process that converts "food energy" (from the chemical bonds of macromolecules) into chemical energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The first step of this tightly regulated and intricate process is glycolysis. The word glycolysis originates from the Latin glyco (sugar) and lysis (breakdown). Glycolysis serves two main intracellular functions: generating ATP and generating...

Flippase
Eukaryotic flippases are type-IV P-type ATPases or P4-ATPases belonging to P-type ATPase family proteins that are membrane-bound pumps involved in the ATP-mediated transport of ions and molecules across the membrane. Flippases flip specific phospholipids from the outer to the inner leaflet of a membrane. All P4-ATPases have one...
