Abstract
All mammals have 50-100 μM mannose in their blood. However, the source of the dynamic pool of mannose in blood is unknown. Most of it is thought to be derived from glucose in the cells. We studied mannose uptake and release by various cell types. Interestingly, our results show that mannose taken up by the cells through transporters is handled differently from the mannose released within the cells due to glycan processing of protein-bound oligosaccharides. Although more than 95% of incoming mannose is catabolized, most of the mannose released by intracellular processing is expelled from the cells as free mannose predominantly via a nocodazole-sensitive sugar transporter. Under physiological conditions, incoming mannose is more accessible to hexokinase, whereas mannose released within the cells is protected from HK and therefore has a different fate. Our data also suggest that generation of free mannose due to the processing of glycoconjugates composed of glucose-derived mannose and its efflux from the cells can account for most of the mannose found in blood and its steady state maintenance.

Abstract
The metabolism of D-glucose displays anomeric specificity in rat pancreatic islets. The aim of the present report is to investigate whether such a situation implies enzyme-to-enzyme tunnelling of metabolites in the early steps of glycolysis. For such a purpose, the modelling of alpha- and beta-D-glucose catabolism, itself based on available information concerning both the utilisation of these two anomers and the intrinsic properties of phosphoglucoisomerase, was first examined. According to a theoretical model with enzyme-to-enzyme channelling, the generation of 3HOH from D-[2-3H]glucose should be higher in islets exposed to beta-D-glucose rather than alpha-D-glucose, whilst the opposite situation should prevail in the case of D-[5-3H]glucose conversion to 3HOH. Experimental data collected in rat islets incubated for 60 min at 4 degrees C in the presence of either alpha- or beta-D-glucose mixed with tracer amounts of either alpha- or beta-D-[2- 3H]glucose and alpha- or beta-D-[5-3H]glucose indicate that the beta/alpha ratio for D-[2-3H]glucose conversion to 3HOH is indeed higher than the beta/alpha ratio for D-[5-3H]glucose conversion to 3HOH. These findings are consistent with the postulated enzyme-to-enzyme tunnelling of glycolytic intermediates between hexokinase isoenzyme(s), phosphoglucoisomerase and, possibly, phosphofructokinase.

Abstract
D-glucose was previously reported to cause a concentration-related decrease in the 36Cl- content of prelabeled islets prepared from ob/ob mice, a current animal model of inherited obesity. From these findings, it was inferred that the hexose stimulates Cl- efflux from islet cells and that such an increase in Cl- permeability may partly mediate glucose-induced depolarization of insulin-producing cells. The aim of the present study was to investigate the possible extension of these findings to islets prepared from normal rats by measuring the changes evoked by increasing concentrations of D-glucose in 36Cl- outflow itself from prelabeled isolated islets. After 60 min preincubation at 37 degrees C in the presence of 3 mM D-glucose and 36Cl- (75 microCi/mL), the islets were incubated for 8-10 min at 37 degrees C in the presence of increasing concentrations of the hexose (3-20 mM). The changes in 36Cl- outflow during incubation indicated that D-glucose, in excess of a threshold concentration close to 5 mM, indeed increases effluent radioactivity from the prelabeled islets. It is proposed, therefore, that a gating of volume-sensitive anion channels in glucose-stimulated insulin-producing islet cells participates in the depolarization of the plasma membrane recorded in the range of insulinotropic concentrations of the hexose.

Abstract
The enzyme-to-enzyme channeling of metabolic intermediates is not an uncommon process. The present review draws attention to recent experimental work documenting, in rat pancreatic islets, the enzyme-to-enzyme channeling of alpha-D-glucose 6-phosphate between hexokinase isoenzyme(s), mainly glucokinase, and phosphoglucoisomerase. Likewise, the possible enzyme-to-enzyme channeling of beta-D-fructose 6-phosphate between phosphoglucoisomerase and phosphofructokinase is briefly evoked. These considerations are relevant to the anomeric specificity of D-glucose metabolism, even in islets exposed to equilibrated D-glucose, to the perturbation of such an anomeric specificity in the phenomenon of so-called B-cell glucotoxicity, and to the correct interpretation of 3HOH generation from D-[2-(3H)]glucose.

Abstract
It was recently proposed that alpha-D-glucose 6-phosphate may undergo enzyme-to-enzyme channelling between glucokinase and phosphoglucoisomerase in rat pancreatic islets. The present study aims at exploring whether a different situation prevails in cells deprived of glucokinase, namely in erythrocytes. At anomeric equilibrium, the ratio between D-[2-3H]glucose and D-[5-3H]glucose conversion to 3HOH was lower in rat erythrocytes incubated for 60 min at 4 degrees C in the presence of 2.8 mM, rather than 8.3 mM, D-glucose. This coincided with both a greater relative increase in beta-D-[5-3H]glucose, as compared to alpha-D-[5-3H]glucose, conversion to 3HOH and an increase in the beta/alpha ratio for 3HOH generation from D-[5-3H]glucose in response to an increase in the anomeric concentration from 2.8 to 8.3 mM, the suppression of the difference between the beta/alpha ratios for 3HOH generation from D-[2-3H]glucose and D-[5-3H]glucose in the erythrocytes incubated at 8.3 mM, as distinct from 2.8 mM, alpha- and beta-D-glucose, and a [2-3H]/[5-3H] ratio for 3HOH generation lower than unity in erythrocytes exposed to alpha-D-glucose but not significantly different from unity in the presence of beta-D-glucose. These findings emphasize the relevance of alpha-D-glucose 6-phosphate channelling between hexokinase and phosphoglucoisomerase as a determinant of the difference between D-[2-3H]glucose and D-[5-3H]glucose conversion to 3HOH, and reveal that the regulation of such a tunnelling process by the concentration of the D-glucose represents, in rat erythrocytes, a mirror image of that observed in rat pancreatic islets. The regulation of this process thus tightly depends on the identity of the hexokinase enzyme mainly responsible for the phosphorylation of D-glucose in distinct cell types.

Abstract
It was recently proposed that in rat pancreatic islets exposed to 8.3 mM D-glucose, alpha-D-glucose-6-phosphate undergoes enzyme-to-enzyme channelling between hexokinase isoenzyme(s) and phosphoglucoisomerase. To explore the identity of the hexokinase isoenzyme(s) involved in such a tunnelling process, the generation of 3HOH from the alpha- and beta-anomers of either D-[2-3H]glucose or D-[5-3H]glucose was now measured over 60 min incubation at 4 degrees C in pancreatic islets exposed only to 2.8 mM D-glucose, in order to decrease the relative contribution of glucokinase to the phosphorylation of the hexose. Under these experimental conditions, the ratio for 3HOH production from D-[2-3H]glucose/D-[5-3H]glucose at anomeric equilibrium (39.7 +/- 11.6%) and the beta/alpha ratios for the generation of 3HOH from either the D-[2-3H]glucose anomers (70.9 +/- 12.6%) or the D-[5-3H]glucose anomers (59.6 +/- 12.4%) indicated that a much greater fraction of alpha-D-glucose-6-phosphate escapes from the process of enzyme-to-enzyme channelling in the islets exposed to 2.8 mM, rather than 8.3 mM D-glucose. These findings suggest, therefore, that the postulated process of enzyme-to-enzyme channelling involves mainly glucokinase.

Abstract
The low affinity glucose-phosphorylating enzyme glucokinase shows the phenomenon of intracellular translocation in beta cells of the pancreas and the liver. To identify potential binding partners of glucokinase by a systematic strategy, human beta cell glucokinase was screened by a 12-mer random peptide library displayed by the M13 phage. This panning procedure revealed two consensus motifs with a high binding affinity for glucokinase. The first consensus motif, LSAXXVAG, corresponded to the glucokinase regulatory protein of the liver. The second consensus motif, SLKVWT, showed a complete homology to the bifunctional enzyme 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (PFK-2/FBPase-2), which acts as a key regulator of glucose metabolism. Through yeast two-hybrid analysis it became evident that the binding of glucokinase to PFK-2/FBPase-2 is conferred by the bisphosphatase domain, whereas the kinase domain is responsible for dimerization. 5'-Rapid amplification of cDNA ends analysis and Northern blot analysis revealed that rat pancreatic islets express the brain isoform of PFK-2/FBPase-2. A minor portion of the islet PFK-2/FBPase-2 cDNA clones comprised a novel splice variant with 8 additional amino acids in the kinase domain. The binding of the islet/brain PFK-2/ FBPase-2 isoform to glucokinase was comparable with that of the liver isoform. The interaction between glucokinase and PFK-2/FBPase-2 may provide the rationale for recent observations of a fructose-2,6-bisphosphate level-dependent partial channeling of glycolytic intermediates between glucokinase and glycolytic enzymes. In pancreatic beta cells this interaction may have a regulatory function for the metabolic stimulus-secretion coupling. Changes in fructose-2,6-bisphosphate levels and modulation of PFK-2/FBPase-2 activities may participate in the physiological regulation of glucokinase-mediated glucose-induced insulin secretion.

Abstract
The activities of hexokinase and glucokinase were measured in cross-linked and permeabilized rat pancreatic islets. After exposure to dimethyl suberimidate (20 mM) and digitonin (0.4 mM), the activity of hexokinase represented about half of that found in homogenates of freshly isolated islets. The K(m) of hexokinase for D-glucose and the Ki for its inhibition by D-glucose-6-phosphate were similar, however, in the cross-linked and permeabilized islets and in homogenates of freshly isolated islets. Glucokinase activity also was documented in the cross-linked and permeabilized islets, it being less sensitive than hexokinase activity to inhibition by D-glucose-6-phosphate. At a high concentration of D-glucose (16.7 mM), the phosphorylation of the hexose failed to be increased by D-fructose-1-phosphate, whether in the absence or presence of D-glucose-6-phosphate. These findings indicate that the intrinsic properties of hexokinase isoenzymes are preserved in cross-linked islets, but suggest that the cross-linking of proteins prevents the activation of glucokinase by its regulatory protein.

Abstract
The physiological regulation of nutrient catabolism in islet cells, its perturbation in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and the tools available to compensate for such a perturbation are reviewed. In terms of physiology, emphasis is placed on the relevance of glucokinase to hexose-induced insulin release, protein-to-protein interaction and enzyme-to-enzyme channelling, and the preferential stimulation of mitochondrial oxidative events in glucose-stimulated B-cells. In terms of pathology, attention is drawn to the deficiency of FAD-linked mitochondrial glycerophosphate dehydrogenase. Last, as far as therapeutic aspects are concerned, the potential usefulness of hypoglycemic sulfonylureas and meglitinide analogs, adenosine analogs, non-glucidic nutrients, and GLP-1 is underlined.

Abstract
Tumoural islet cells of the RINm5F line were incubated for 120 min in the presence of [2-13C]propionate (10 mmol/l), and the 13C enrichment of lactate released in the incubation medium was monitored by 13C nuclear magnetic resonance. The C3/C2 ratio of resonance areas was much lower than that found with naturally 13C-enriched lactate. This reveals that symmetric Krebs cycle intermediates undergo oriented transfer in the sequence of reactions catalysed by succinate thiokinase, succinate dehydrogenate and fumarase in the mitochondria of islet cells.

Abstract
The yeast two-hybrid system was used to investigate whether protein-protein interactions between enzymes of the early reactions of glycolysis exist in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Various glycolytic enzymes were fused either to the GAL4 transcription-activating or DNA-binding domain and were tested for their ability to restore GAL4-dependent gene activation. All the different fusion proteins complemented the growth and enzymatic defects caused by the deletion of the respective genes, which indicates that these proteins are still functional. Interactions between the two phosphofructo-1-kinase subunits PFK1 and PFK2, interactions between the phosphofructo-2-kinase subunits, and dimerization of phosphoglucose isomerase were demonstrated. Dimerization of hexokinase 2, however, could not be demonstrated neither with N-terminal nor C-terminal fusions. A direct interaction between the hexose-6-phosphate interconverting enzymes hexokinase 2, phosphoglucose isomerase, and phosphofructo-1-kinase could also not be demonstrated. Nevertheless, our results indicate a weak interaction between phosphofructo-1-kinase and phosphofructo-2-kinase.

Abstract
Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion is believed to require metabolism of the sugar via a high Km pathway in which glucokinase (hexokinase IV) is rate-limiting. In this study, we have used recombinant adenoviruses to overexpress the liver and islet isoforms of glucokinase as well as low Km hexokinase I in isolated rat islets of Langerhans. Glucose phosphorylating activity increased by up to 20-fold in extracts from islets treated with adenoviruses containing the cDNAs encoding either tissue isoform of glucokinase, but such cells exhibited no increase in 2- or 5-[3H]glucose usage, lactate production, glycogen content, or glucose oxidation. Furthermore, glucokinase overexpression enhanced insulin secretion in response to stimulatory glucose or glucose plus arginine by only 36-53% relative to control islets. In contrast to the minimal effects of overexpressed glucokinases, overexpression of hexokinase I caused a 2.5-4-fold enhancement in all metabolic parameters except glycogen content when measured at a basal glucose concentration (3 mM). Based on measurement of glucose phosphorylation in intact cells, overexpressed glucokinase is clearly active in a non-islet cell line (CV-1) but not within islet cells. That this result cannot be ascribed to the levels of glucokinase regulatory protein in islets is shown by direct measurement of its activity and mRNA. These data provide evidence for functional partitioning of glucokinase and hexokinase and suggest that overexpressed glucokinase must interact with factors found in limiting concentration in the islet cell in order to become activated and engage in productive metabolic signaling.

Abstract
1. Cross-linked and permeabilized rat erythrocytes were incubated for 2-5 min at 37 degrees C in the presence of ATP and either D-[U-14C]glucose 6-phosphate (3 mM) mixed with unlabelled D-fructose 6-phosphate (1 mM) or D-[U-14C]fructose 6-phosphate (1 mM) mixed with unlabelled D-glucose 6-phosphate (3 mM). 2. The contribution of molecules derived from the radioactive ketohexose ester relative to the total amount of newly formed D-fructose 1,6-bisphosphate was lower than the time-related average value for such a relative contribution in the pool of D-fructose 6-phosphate. 3. From such a difference, it was calculated that, under the present experimental conditions, 13.1 +/- 2.0% of the molecules of D-fructose 1,6-bisphosphate formed during incubation are directly derived from D-glucose 6-phosphate by a process of enzyme-to-enzyme channelling between phosphoglucoisomerase and phosphofructokinase, rather than originating from the free pool of D-fructose 6-phosphate. 4. A comparable value of 13.2 +/- 3.2% was reached when the process of enzyme-to-enzyme tunnelling was judged from the 3H/14C ratio in D-fructose 1,6-bisphosphate formed by permeabilized erythrocytes exposed for 5-15 min to D-glucose 6-phosphate (3 or 5 mM) mixed with tracer amounts of both D-[1-14C]glucose 6-phosphate and D-[2-3H]glucose 6-phosphate.

Abstract
When rat erythrocytes are exposed to both dibutyryl-cyclic AMP and isobutylmethylxanthine, the rates of D-glucose phosphorylation and glycolysis are both markedly increased. On the contrary, menadione by increasing the flow rate through the pentose phosphate pathway, decreases the generation rate of triose phosphates from exogenous D-glucose. Yet, both procedures lead to a decrease in the production of 3HOH from D-[2-3H]glucose relative to its phosphorylation rate. It is proposed, therefore, that such a radioactive measurement should no more be considered as a reliable index of D-glucose phosphorylation, at variance with current practice.

Abstract
When rat erythrocytes were preincubated with 2-deoxy-D-glucose, the generation of both 3H-labelled acidic metabolites and 3HOH from D-[5-3H]glucose, the total production of L-lactate, and the generation of 14CO2, 14C-labelled acidic metabolites and 14C-labelled lactate from D-[1-14C]glucose or D-[U-14C]glucose were all lower than in erythrocytes preincubated in the absence of a hexose or in the presence of 3-O-methyl-D-glucose. However, preincubation with 2-deoxy-D-glucose failed to decrease the generation of 3H-labelled acidic metabolites and L-[3-3H]lactate from D-[2-3H]glucose, while decreasing the production of 3HOH more severely from D-[2-3H]glucose than from D-[5-3H]glucose. This may be attributable not solely to inhibition of D-glucose phosphorylation by 2-deoxy-D-glucose and 2-deoxy-D-glucose 6-phosphate, but also to inhibition by 2-deoxy-D-glucose 6-phosphate of hexose 6-phosphate interconversion in the reaction catalysed by phosphoglucoisomerase, as also observed with the purified enzyme. The generation of 3HOH from D-[2-3H]glucose should therefore be considered as a tool to assess the efficiency of interconversion of hexose 6-phosphates in the reaction catalysed by phosphoglucoisomerase, rather than to estimate D-glucose phosphorylation rate.

Abstract
The reversible conversion between D-mannose 6-phosphate and D-fructose 6-phosphate catalyzed by yeast phosphomannoisomerase was studied by phase sensitive 2D 13C-(1H) EXSY NMR spectroscopy at 100.623 MHz, using 13C enriched substrates in the C2 position of the D-hexose 6-phosphates. The unique pair of isomerization cross-peaks observed in the 2D EXSY map correlates the 13C2 resonances of the beta-anomers of both D-[2-13C]-mannose 6-phosphate and D-[213C]-fructose 6-phosphate. This indicates that phosphomannoisomerase specifically catalyzes the reversible conversion between beta-D-mannose 6-phosphate and beta-D-fructose 6-phosphate. Since phosphoglucoisomerase was recently found to catalyze specifically the interconversion of alpha-D-glucose 6-phosphate and beta-D-fructose 6-phosphate, the beta-anomer of the ketohexose ester could be directly channeled in a multi-enzyme system involving phosphoglucoisomerase, phosphomannoisomerase and phosphofructokinase.

Abstract
Rat pancreatic islets cultured for 1 to 5 days in the presence of 20 to 80 mmol/L D-glucose accumulate glycogen in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. When the glycogen-rich islets are incubated for 6 to 10 minutes in the absence of D-glucose, the rate of glycogenolysis is grossly proportional to the glycogen content. Exogenous D-glucose (7 to 20 mmol/L) inhibits glycogenolysis. This inhibitory effect opposes the increase in glycolytic flux attributable to the utilization of exogenous glucose. Both the inhibitory effect of D-glucose on glycogenolysis and the utilization of exogenous hexose tend to be higher with alpha- than with beta-D-glucose. In light of these findings, it is proposed that the interference of D-glucose with glycogenolysis might play a role in the paradoxical changes in insulin output and its altered anomeric specificity in response to D-glucose administration, as is often encountered in non-insulin-dependent diabetic subjects and experimental models of B-cell glucotoxicity.
