Differential function of the phosphoglucomutase isozymes PGM1 and PGM2.

W Beck

    Human Genetics
    |January 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Five metabolites inhibit phosphoglucomutase (PGM) activity. PGM1 isozymes showed greater resilience to inhibition, suggesting better function under challenging metabolic conditions, with potential evolutionary implications.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Enzymology
    • Evolutionary Biology

    Background:

    • Phosphoglucomutase (PGM) isozymes play crucial roles in carbohydrate metabolism.
    • Understanding the regulatory mechanisms of PGM activity is vital for comprehending metabolic pathways.
    • Previous research has suggested potential inhibitory roles for various metabolites on enzyme functions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the inhibitory effects of 13 candidate metabolites on PGM isozyme activities.
    • To determine if specific metabolites differentially inhibit PGM1 and PGM2 isozymes.
    • To explore the functional implications of these inhibitions, particularly under metabolic stress.

    Main Methods:

    • Enzyme activity assays were performed on PGM isozymes using densitometric measurements of starch gels.
    • A range of concentrations for 13 potentially inhibitory metabolites were tested.
    • Statistical analyses were employed to assess the significance of observed inhibition patterns.

    Main Results:

    • Five of the tested metabolites demonstrated significant inhibition of PGM activity.
    • Fructose-1,6-diphosphate, adenosine triphosphate, and citrate significantly inhibited PGM isozymes.
    • A fourth metabolite, 2,3-diphosphoglycerate, possibly inhibited PGM isozymes.
    • PGM1 isozymes exhibited greater resistance to inhibition compared to PGM2 isozymes.

    Conclusions:

    • PGM1 isozymes appear to be more robust and functional under adverse or marginal metabolic conditions.
    • The differential inhibition suggests distinct regulatory roles and evolutionary adaptations of PGM isozymes.
    • These findings contribute to understanding enzyme regulation and metabolic flexibility in biological systems.
