Abstract
Nuclear localization has been observed for glycolytic enzymes but not for key gluconeogenic enzymes. We report our findings on the intracellular localization of liver FBPase in rat liver and kidney, the main organs in the endogenous glucose production. Immunofluorescence and confocal analysis revealed that FBPase was present in the cytosol and, unexpectedly, inside the nucleus of hepatocytes and proximal cells of the nephron. Additionally, FBPase was found in the plasma membrane area of adjacent hepatocytes where glycogen is synthesized and in the apical region of proximal kidney cells. This subcellular distribution in multiple compartments suggests the presence of different localization signals on FBPase for diverse metabolic functions.

Abstract
High-fat feeding has been shown to cause hepatic insulin resistance. The aims of this study were to investigate the biochemical steps responsible for enhanced gluconeogenesis as a result of increased dietary fat intake and the site or sites at which the antihyperglycemic agent metformin acts to inhibit this process. Male Hooded Wistar rats were fed either a standard chow diet (5% fat by weight) or a high-fat diet (60% fat by weight) for 14 days with or without metformin. Total endogenous glucose production and gluconeogenesis were determined using [6-(3)H]glucose and [U-(14)C]alanine, respectively. Gluconeogenic enzyme activity and, where appropriate, protein and mRNA levels were measured in liver tissues. The high-fat diet increased endogenous glucose production (21.9 +/- 4.4 vs. 32.2 +/- 4.8 micromol x kg(-1) x min(-1), P < 0.05) and alanine gluconeogenesis (4.5 +/- 0.9 vs. 9.6 +/- 1.9 micromol x kg(-1) x min(-1), P < 0.05). Metformin reduced both endogenous glucose production (32.2 +/- 4.8 vs. 16.1 +/- 2.1 micromol x kg(-1) x min(-1), P < 0.05) and alanine gluconeogenesis (9.6 +/- 1.9 vs. 4.7 +/- 0.8 micromol x kg(-1) x min(-1), P < 0.05) after high-fat feeding. These changes were reflected in liver fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase protein levels (4.5 +/- 0.9 vs. 9.6 +/- 1.9 arbitrary units, P < 0.05 chow vs. high-fat feeding; 9.5 +/- 1.9 vs. 4.7 +/- 0.8 arbitrary units, P < 0.05 high fat fed in the absence vs. presence of metformin) but not in changes to the activity of other gluconeogenic enzymes. There was a significant positive correlation between alanine gluconeogenesis and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase protein levels (r = 0.56, P < 0.05). Therefore, excess supply of dietary fat stimulates alanine gluconeogenesis via an increase in fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase protein levels. Metformin predominantly inhibits alanine gluconeogenesis by preventing the fat-induced changes in fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase levels.

Abstract
The 1282 bp cDNA of an isoenzyme of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase was cloned from rat muscle. It shows 70% positional identity to the cDNA of rat liver fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase and is clearly the product of a gene different from that coding for the liver enzyme. After cloning of the coding region of the rat muscle fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase cDNA in an expression vector, the recombinant enzyme could be detected in E. coli cell-free extracts by activity determination and Western blotting. Overexpressed fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase was found to be allosterically inhibited by AMP comparably to the enzyme isolated from rat muscle. Analysis of steady-state mRNA levels of various rat tissues with reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Northern blotting revealed one or the two fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase isoenzyme mRNAs in most tissues tested with significant quantitative differences. Quantitative PCR using a homologous competitor showed that 1 microg of total RNA of rat muscle contains 1.7 x 10(6) molecules of rat muscle fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase mRNA. 3 x 10(4) copies of this message were found per microg total RNA of heart and kidney, respectively.

Abstract
The localization of fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (D-Fru-1,6-)2-1-phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.11) in rat kidney and liver was determined immunohistochemically using a polyclonal antibody raised against the enzyme purified from pig kidney. The immunohistochemical analysis revealed that the bisphosphatase was preferentially localized in hepatocytes of the periportal region of the liver and was absent from the perivenous region. Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase was also preferentially localized in the cortex of the kidney proximal tubules and was absent in the glomeruli, loops of Henle, collecting and distal tubules, and in the renal medulla. As indicated by immunocytochemistry using light microscopy and confirmed with the use of reflection confocal microscopy, the enzyme was preferentially localized in a perinuclear position in the liver and the renal cells. Subcellular fractionation studies followed by enzyme activity assays revealed that a majority of the cellular fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase activity was associated to subcellular particulate structures. Overall, the data support the concept of metabolic zonation in liver as well as in kidney, and establish the concept that the Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase is a particulate enzyme that can not be considered a soluble enzyme in the classical sense.

Abstract
The SV40 early promoter is active both in mammalian cells and in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, and is used to drive full-length cDNA in polyvalent pcD-libraries. Two such liver libraries, of human and rat origin, were used to trans-complement a S. pombe mutant deficient in fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (Fru-1,6-Pase) activity, a key gluconeogenic enzyme restricted to liver, kidney and intestine in mammals. A rat liver Fru-1,6-Pase cDNA was readily cloned and sequenced. Complementary PCR experiments revealed full-length Fru-1,6-Pase cDNA also present in the human liver library, however at a low abundance. Two human liver transcripts were thus characterized. Contrary to expectation, they were not differentially spliced products. They both encoded the same protein and were generated by a polyadenylation choice mechanism. The longest transcript comprised two polyadenylation signals and a consensus GT-rich element for the 3' processing of the upstream site. Rapid amplification of cDNA ends-polymerase chain reaction (RACE-PCR) analysis of 3' ends from hepatic, renal and intestinal mRNA disclosed that both Fru-1,6-Pase transcripts are expressed in the three main gluconeogenic cell types and are subject to insulin differential modulation. On the other hand, overcoming liver cell heterogeneity problems, sequence analysis of 16 independent clones of 3' end-cDNA demonstrated that, in addition to a monocytic type corresponding to a previously described lambda gt11 clone, human liver does not contain a hepatic type Fru-1,6-Pase comprising a liver-specific carboxyl-terminal extension like its rat counterpart. This liver-specific extension is involved in enzyme up-regulation and appears to give a conclusive advantage to the rat hepatic enzyme over the human one when trans-complementing mutant yeast.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Fructose-1,6 bisphosphatase (FBPase) is a ubiquitous enzyme controlling a key reaction. In non-photosynthetic tissues, it regulates the rate of gluconeogenesis. In photosynthetic tissues, two FBPase isozymes (chloroplastic and cytosolic) play key roles in carbon assimilation and metabolism. The cytosolic FBPase is one of the regulatory enzymes in the sucrose biosynthetic pathway - its activity is regulated by both fine and coarse control mechanisms. Kinetic and allosteric properties of the plant cytosolic FBPase are remarkably similar to the mammalian and yeast FBPase, but differ greatly from those of the chloroplastic FBPase. Cytosolic FBPase is relatively conserved among various organisms both at amino acid and nucleotide sequence levels. There is slightly higher similarity between mammalian FBPase and plant cytosolic FBPase than there is between the two plant FBPases. Expression of plant cytosolic FBPase gene is developmentally regulated and appears to be coordinated with the expression of Rubisco and other carbon metabolism enzymes. Similar to the gluconeogenic FBPase, relatively rapid end product repression of FBPase gene occurs in plant. However, unlike the gluconeogenic FBPase, a concurrent decline in plant FBPase activity does not occur in response to increased end product levels. The physiological significance of FBPase gene repression, therefore, remains unclear in plants. Both expression and activity of the cytosolic FBPase are regulated by environmental factors such as light and drought conditions. Light-dependent modulation of FBPase activity in plants appears to involve some type of posttranslational modification. In addition to elucidating the exact nature of the presumed posttranslational modification, cloning of genomic and upstream sequences is needed before we fully understand the molecular regulation of the cytosolic FBPase in plants. Use of transgenic plants with altered rates of FBPase activity offers potential for enhanced crop productivity.

Abstract
Homogeneous preparations of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase from mouse, man, rabbit, pig, and rat were tested as substrates for cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. Up to 1 mol of [32P]phosphate per mole enzyme subunit was incorporated into fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase from pig and rabbit liver, which should be compared with 2.6 mol of phosphate per mole enzyme subunit in the case of the rat liver enzyme. The phosphorylation of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase from the livers of man and mouse was negligible. Phosphorylation of pig and rabbit fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase decreased the apparent Km for fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, but in contrast to the case of the rat liver enzyme it did not change the inhibition constants for AMP and fructose-2,6-bisphosphate. The phosphorylation sites in rabbit and pig liver fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase were located close to the carboxyterminal of the polypeptide chains, since trypsin treatment of the phosphorylated enzyme quantitatively removed all of the protein-bound radioactivity without significantly altering the subunit molecular weight and with a maintained neutral pH optimum.

Abstract
Purified human lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) was covalently labeled by [3H]diisopropylflourophosphate with concomitant loss of enzymatic activity (M. Jauhiainen and P.J. Dolphin (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 7023-7043). Some 60% of the enzyme was labeled in 1 h. Cyanogen bromide (CNBr) cleavage of the labeled, reduced, and carboxymethylated protein, followed by gel permeation chromatography yielded a 5- to 6-kDa peptide (LCAT CNBr-III) containing at least 60-70% of the incorporated label. Comparison of the amino acid composition of LCAT CNBr-III with that of the CNBr peptides predicted from the LCAT sequence (J. McLean et al. (1986) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 83, 2335-2339) indicates that LCAT CNBr-III is peptide 168-220. In 22 cycles of automated Edman degradation of CNBr-III a radioactive derivative was only observed at cycle 14, and of the predicted CNBr fragments only peptide 168-220 contains a serine at position 14 from the amino terminus. Tryptic peptides predicted from the sequence should contain Ser181 at positions 22 and 23 from the N-terminus of fragments 160-199 and 159-199, respectively. On the other hand, Ser216 should be in position 15 from the N-terminus in fragment 202-238. Radiolabel sequencing of the tryptic digest of [3H]diisopropylphosphate-LCAT resulted in recovery of radioactivity in cycles 22 and 23, whereas cycle 15 yielded negligible radioactivity. These results establish that Ser181 is the major active site serine in human LCAT.

Abstract
We describe the identification and submitochondrial localization of four protein kinases and of their target proteins in derepressed yeast mitochondria. The activity of one of the kinases depends on the presence of cyclic AMP (cAMP). It is soluble and localized in the mitochondrial intermembrane space. Its natural target is a polypeptide of 40 kDa molecular mass, which is bound to the inner membrane. Besides this natural target this kinase phosphorylates acidic heterologous proteins, like casein, with high efficiency. The other protein kinases identified so far are cAMP-independent. At least one is localized in the matrix having its natural substrates (49 and 24 kDa) in the same compartment. Two others are firmly bound to the inner membrane phosphorylating target proteins in the inner membrane (52.5 kDa) and in the intermembrane space (17.5 kDa), respectively.

Abstract
The effects of epinephrine, glucagon and insulin on the activity and degree of phosphorylation of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase in isolated hepatocytes maintained in cell culture for 24 h were investigated. Epinephrine caused a rapid decrease in the apparent Km monitored as the activity ratio between the activity at 12.5 and 83 microM fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, reaching a maximum after 5 min. Glucagon caused a slower and less pronounced activation, and insulin caused an equally slow increase in Km. The effect of epinephrine and glucagon was completely reciprocated by insulin and the action of insulin was totally erased by the other two. Glucagon stimulated the incorporation of [32P]phosphate into fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase from about 2.5 to 4.2 mol/mol enzyme and epinephrine to 3.5 mol/mol. The effect of the two hormones acting together was cumulative. Insulin brought about a decrease in the degree of phosphorylation to 2.0 mol/mol. The effect of epinephrine was shown to be caused by the beta-receptors, since it was completely blocked by propanolol (a beta-antagonist) and remained unaffected by the presence of phentolamine (an alpha-antagonist).

Abstract
Rabbit muscle pyruvate kinase was inactivated by 2', 3'-dialdehyde ADP with the incorporation of one molecule of reagent per enzyme subunit. The inactivated protein was digested with trypsin after reduction and carboxymethylation. The labeled peptide was isolated by gel filtration and further purified by HPLC. The peptide was sequenced both by liquid-phase and gas-phase automatic Edman degradation. A 34-residue peptide was obtained. This peptide is identical to a tryptic peptide labeled with trinitrobenzenesulfonate, isolated and sequenced by Johnson et al. (Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. (1979) 90, 525-530) from bovine muscle pyruvate kinase. Available evidence suggests that dialdehyde ADP labels the enzyme at the same lysine in position 25 of the peptide, as found by Johnson et al. The high homology between the isolated peptide and regions of other pyruvate kinases from low to high eukaryotes supports the idea that this peptide is related to the enzyme active site.

Abstract
Three monomeric phospholipases A2 with isoelectric points 4.5, 6.9 and 9.3 were purified from the venom of Agkistrodon halys pallas. The complete amino acid sequence of the acidic enzyme and partial amino acid sequences of the neutral and basic phospholipases were determined in order to relate differences in enzymatic reactivities, pharmacologic activities and cytotoxicities to aspects of structure. Studies reported here and elsewhere demonstrate that the three phospholipases A2 exhibit pronounced differences relative to function. The acidic enzyme maintains the highest reactivity toward hydrolysis of monolayers at the air-water interface and may share a feature in common with the acidic enzyme from A. h. blomhoffii, namely the inhibition of platelet aggregation. The neutral phospholipase A2 designated agkistrotoxin, is characterized by potent activity as a pre-synaptic neurotoxin. Agkistrotoxin is the first single polypeptide chain, neurotoxic phospholipase A2 to be documented with a Group II disulfide pattern and, in several respects, may be considered functionally and structurally analogous to notexin from the Australian tiger snake venom. Finally, the basic membranes in the presence of a bactericidal-permeability-increasing protein from neutrophil sources.

Abstract
The effects of cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylation on the structural properties of rat liver fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase were investigated by uv difference spectroscopy and circular dichroism. The incorporation of 4 mol of phosphate per mole of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase induces a significant increase in the alpha-helix content of the enzyme without affecting its spectrophotometric properties. The addition of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate or fructose 2,6-bisphosphate also affects the conformation of the enzyme. However, both the phosphorylated and the nonphosphorylated forms exhibit similar ligand-induced conformational changes. These results show that cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylation of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase induces a specific conformational change. They also suggest that this modification does not alter the interaction of the enzyme protein with fructose 1,6-bisphosphate and fructose 2,6-bisphosphate.

Abstract
Treatment of chicken liver fructose- 1,6-bisphosphatase with oxidized glutathione (GSSG) leads to an increase in activity. This activation is markedly enhanced if treatment is performed in the presence of AMP or Mn2+. The effects of AMP and Mn2+ appear to be synergistic. The maximal activation is over 13-fold and is accompanied by the disappearance of 4 sulfhydryl groups per molecule of enzyme. Both fructose 1,6-bisphosphate and fructose 2,6-bisphosphate can largely prevent this activation. Activation can be reversed by dithiothreitol or cysteine. It appears that GSSG activates this enzyme by thiol/disulfide exchanges with the enzyme's specific sulfhydryl groups.

Abstract
The hydrolysis of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate to fructose 6-phosphate is a key reaction of carbohydrate metabolism. The enzyme that catalyzes this reaction, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, appears to be present in all forms of living organisms. Regulation of the enzyme activity, however, occurs by a variety of distinct mechanisms. These include AMP inhibition (most sources), cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylation (yeast), and light-dependent activation (chloroplast). In the present studies, we have made a comparison of the primary structure of mammalian fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase with the sequence of peptides isolated from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Escherichia coli, and spinach chloroplast enzymes. Our results demonstrate a high degree of sequence homology, suggesting a common evolutionary origin for all fructose-1,6-bisphosphatases.

Abstract
Chemical modification and electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR) spin-labelling techniques have been employed to investigate the local environment of the essential sulfhydryl groups of chicken liver fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase. The results demonstrate the presence of two distinct classes of sulfhydryl groups in this enzyme. The first class react preferentially with iodoacetate and its spin-labelled derivative, and this results in an increase in catalytic activity, while the second class react preferentially with N-ethylmaleimide and its spin-labelled derivative, and this leads to a decrease in catalytic activity. The ESR spectral data strongly suggest that the first class of sulfhydryl groups are located in a deep cleft of the enzyme molecule, while the second class of sulfhydryl groups are located in a shallow crevice. The environment of the second class of the sulfhydryl groups appears to undergo a significant change after the modification of the first class of sulfhydryl groups by iodoacetate.

Abstract
Chloroplast fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase is an essential enzyme in the photosynthetic pathway of carbon dioxide fixation into sugars and the properties of this enzyme are clearly distinct from cytosolic gluconeogenic fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase. Light-dependent activation via a ferredoxin/thioredoxin system and insensitivity to inhibition by AMP are unique characteristics of the chloroplast enzyme. In the present study, purified spinach chloroplast fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase was reduced, S-carboxymethylated with iodoacetic acid, and cleaved with either cyanogen bromide or trypsin. The resulting peptides were purified by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography. Automated Edman degradation of some of the purified peptides showed amino acid sequences highly homologous to residues 72-86, 180-199, and 277-319 of pig kidney fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase. These findings suggest a common evolutionary origin for mammalian gluconeogenic and chloroplast fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, enzymes catalyzing the same reaction but having different functions and modes of regulation.

Abstract
We have recently established from sequence analysis that rat liver fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase contains a 24-26 residue extension beyond the COOH-terminal amino acid of other mammalian fructose-1,6-bisphosphatases that results in an increased subunit molecular weight (Rittenhouse et al. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 7648-7652). In the present work the distribution of the COOH-terminal extension of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatases was tested by subunit molecular weight analysis of the enzyme immunoprecipitated from liver extracts. Of all rodent species tested, including several Muridae other than Rattus; only the enzyme from animals of the genus Rattus was found to have the extension. Further studies on the distribution of the enzyme extension could provide a simple tool to study the phylogeny of the genus Rattus.

Abstract
The identities of the protein phosphatases involved in the regulation of hepatic glycolysis, gluconeogenesis and aromatic amino acid breakdown were investigated using 6-phosphofructo-1-kinase, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, L-pyruvate kinase, phenylalanine hydroxylase and the bifunctional enzyme 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase as substrates. Purified preparations of protein phosphatases-1, 2A, 2B and 2C exhibited activity towards all five substrates in vitro, although phosphatases-1 and 2B were only weakly active. Studies in liver extracts using inhibitor-2 and trifluoperazine, which inhibit protein phosphatase-1 and 2B, respectively, confirmed that these phosphatases are unlikely to be important in dephosphorylating these substrates in vivo. Sequential fractionation of rat liver extracts by anion-exchange chromatography and gel-filtration failed to resolve any protein phosphatases acting on each substrate, apart from protein phosphatases-2A and 2C. The present results, together with those described in the following paper (in this journal) indicate that under the assay conditions used, protein phosphatase-2A is the most powerful phosphatase acting on each substrate, although protein phosphatase-2C contributes a significant percentage of the activity towards 6-phosphofructo-1-kinase. No clear evidence was obtained for a role of metabolites in the regulation of dephosphorylation of the five substrates. This study reinforces our contention that only a few serine-specific and threonine-specific protein phosphatase catalytic subunits participate in cellular regulation.

Abstract
Protein samples prepared for sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis are preferentially cleaved at aspartyl-prolyl peptide bonds upon heating at 110 degrees C. The presence of aspartyl-prolyl peptide bonds in a protein can therefore be detected by gel electrophoresis of heated samples and the resulting peptides mapped. The method of heat cleavage also works well with proteins in bands cut from electrophoresed gels using modified stacking conditions in the second electrophoresis. An immunoblotting procedure for peptide mapping of nanogram quantities of specific proteins in complex mixtures is demonstrated. Peptide maps produced by aspartyl-prolyl peptide bond cleavage of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatases from different sources show the effectiveness of the above techniques and suggest a conservation of aspartyl-prolyl peptide bonds in pig kidney and mouse and rat liver fructose-1,6-bisphosphatases.

Abstract
In contrast with previous results that indicate that Saccharomyces cerevisiae fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase is a dimer of 56,000 molecular weight subunits, we find that the subunit Mr of the enzyme purified from baker's yeast is 40,000. The same subunit Mr was observed in immunoprecipitates of crude supernatants of baker's yeast and S. cerevisiae cultures, as well as in acid-extracts of cells detected by immunoblotting, suggesting that the native subunit indeed has a Mr of 40,000 and it has not been produced from a larger polypeptide. Complete immunoprecipitation of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase activity with saturating concentrations of specific antibody suggests that there is only one fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase isozyme in S. cerevisiae. The Mr of the purified enzyme determined by size exclusion HPLC suggests that it has a tetrameric structure characteristic of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatases from a broad phylogenetic spectrum.

Abstract
Rabbit brain phosphofructokinase was purified to homogeneity by a rapid procedure involving affinity chromatography and gel filtration. The enzyme consists of hybrids of the three phosphofructokinase subunit types C, A, and B. The molecular weights of these subunits are 86,000, 84,000, and 80,000, respectively; they are present in brain phosphofructokinase in a ratio of approximately 5:4:1.5. The enzyme as isolated from rabbit brain contains 0.16-0.18 mol phosphate per mole of subunit; another 0.4-0.5 mol phosphate per mole subunit can be incorporated in vitro in the presence of the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. The initial rate of phosphorylation is increased by fructose 2,6-bisphosphate or AMP and decreased by citrate or high concentrations of ammonium sulfate. All three subunit types are phosphorylated in vitro, and the phosphorylation site on each subunit is sensitive to cleavage by trypsin at a terminal region of each subunit. However, these sites show different relative rates of phosphorylation in vitro in the presence of ammonium sulfate. In vitro phosphorylation of brain phosphofructokinase had no affect on specific activity, inhibition by ATP, or activation by fructose 2,6-bisphosphate.

Abstract
Purified liver fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase exhibits different forms upon isoelectric focusing. The enzyme focused at pH 5.75, 5.60, and 5.44. Treatment of the enzyme preparation with the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase and ATP altered the isoelectric focusing profile such that the bands at 5.75 and 5.60 were diminished, the band at 5.44 increased, and two new bands appeared at 5.30, and 5.18. Fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase may be present in rat liver in different forms, one of which is phosphorylated as the enzyme is isolated.
