Abstract:
The mechanism of activation of hepatic microsomal glucose-6-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.9) in vitro by amiloride has been investigated in both intact and fully disrupted microsomes. The major effect of amiloride is a 4.5-fold reduction in the Km of glucose-6-phosphatase activity in intact diabetic rat liver microsomes. Amiloride also decreased the Km of glucose-6-phosphatase activity in intact liver microsomes isolated from starved rats 2.5-fold. Kinetic calculations, direct enzyme assays and direct transport assays all demonstrated that the site of amiloride action was T1, the hepatic microsomal glucose 6-phosphate transport protein. This is, to our knowledge, the first report of an activation of any of the proteins of the multimeric hepatic microsomal glucose-6-phosphatase complex.

Allosteric Proteins-ATCase
Aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase) is a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the condensation of L-aspartate and carbamoyl phosphate to N-carbamoyl-L-aspartate. This reaction is the first step in pyrimidine biosynthesis. UTP and CTP, the end products of the pyrimidine synthesis pathway,...
