Abstract
The biological and chemical basis of vanadium action in fungi is relatively poorly understood. In the present study, we investigate the influence of vanadate (V5+) on phosphate metabolism of Phycomyces blakesleeanus. Addition of V5+ caused increase of sugar phosphates signal intensities in 31P NMR spectra in vivo. HPLC analysis of mycelial phosphate extracts demonstrated increased concentrations of glucose 6 phosphate, fructose 6 phosphate, fructose 1, 6 phosphate and glucose 1 phosphate after V5+ treatment. Influence of V5+ on the levels of fructose 2, 6 phosphate, glucosamine 6 phosphate and glucose 1, 6 phosphate (HPLC), and polyphosphates, UDPG and ATP (31P NMR) was also established. Increase of sugar phosphates content was not observed after addition of vanadyl (V4+), indicating that only vanadate influences its metabolism. Obtained results from in vivo experiments indicate catalytic/inhibitory vanadate action on enzymes involved in reactions of glycolysis and glycogenesis i.e., phosphoglucomutase, phosphofructokinase and glycogen phosphorylase in filamentous fungi.

Abstract
Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate is responsible for mediating glucagon-stimulated gluconeogenesis in the liver. This discovery has led to the realization that this compound plays a significant role in directing carbohydrate fluxes in all eukaryotes. Biophysical studies of the enzyme that both synthesizes and degrades this biofactor have yielded insight into its molecular enzymology. Moreover, the metabolic role of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate has great potential in the treatment of diabetes.

Abstract
The phosphorylation of histidine is the first step in many signal transduction cascades in bacteria, yeast and higher plants. The transfer of a very reactive phosphoryl group from phosphorylated histidine kinase to an acceptor is an essential step in many cellular signaling responses.

Abstract
A cDNA clone encoding full-length 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (6PF-2-K/Fru-2, 6-P2ase) was isolated and sequenced from a Sparus aurata liver cDNA library. The 2527 bp nucleotide sequence of the cDNA contains a 73 bp 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR), an open reading frame that encodes a 469 amino acid protein and 1041 bp at the 3'-UTR. The deduced amino acid sequence is the first inferred 6PF-2-K/Fru-2, 6-P2ase in fish. The kinase and bisphosphatase domains, where the residues described as crucial for the mechanism of reaction of the bifunctional enzyme are located, present a high degree of homology with other liver isoenzymes. However, within the first 30 amino acids at the N-terminal regulatory domain of the fish enzyme a low homology is found. Nutritional regulation of the 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase activity, together with immunodetectable protein and mRNA levels of 6PF-2-K/Fru-2,6-P2ase, was observed after starvation and refeeding. In contrast to results previously described for rat liver, the decrease in immunodetectable protein and kinase activity caused by starvation was associated in the teleostean fish to a decrease in mRNA levels.

Abstract
A bifunctional enzyme, fructose-6-phosphate,2-kinase/fructose 2, 6-bisphosphatase (Fru-6-P,2-kinase/Fru-2,6-Pase), catalyzes synthesis and degradation of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6-P2). Previously, the rat liver Fru-2,6-Pase reaction (Fru-2,6-P2 --> Fru-6-P + Pi) has been shown to proceed via a phosphoenzyme intermediate with His258 phosphorylated, and mutation of the histidine to alanine resulted in complete loss of activity (Tauler, A., Lin, K., and Pilkis, S. J. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 15617-15622). In the present study, it is shown that mutation of the corresponding histidine (His256) of the rat testis enzyme decreases activity by less than a factor of 10 with a kcat of 17% compared with the wild type enzyme. Mutation of His390 (in close proximity to His256) to Ala results in a kcat of 12.5% compared with the wild type enzyme. Attempts to detect a phosphohistidine intermediate with the H256A mutant enzyme were unsuccessful, but the phosphoenzyme is detected in the wild type, H390A, R255A, R305S, and E325A mutant enzymes. Data demonstrate that the mutation of His256 induces a change in the phosphatase hydrolytic reaction mechanism. Elimination of the nucleophilic catalyst, H256A, results in a change in mechanism. In the H256A mutant enzyme, His390 likely acts as a general base to activate water for direct hydrolysis of the 2-phosphate of Fru-2,6-P2. Mutation of Arg255 and Arg305 suggests that the arginines probably have a role in neutralizing excess charge on the 2-phosphate and polarizing the phosphoryl for subsequent transfer to either His256 or water. The role of Glu325 is less certain, but it may serve as a general acid, protonating the leaving 2-hydroxyl of Fru-2,6-P2.

Abstract
Fructose-6-phosphate,2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (Fru-6-P, 2-kinase/Fru-2,6-Pase) is a bifunctional enzyme, catalyzing the interconversion of beta-D-fructose- 6-phosphate (Fru-6-P) and fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6-P2) at distinct active sites. A mutant rat testis isozyme with an alanine replacement for the catalytic histidine (H256A) in the Fru-2,6-Pase domain retains 17% of the wild type activity (Mizuguchi, H., Cook, P. F., Tai, C-H., Hasemann, C. A., and Uyeda, K. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 274, 2166-2175). We have solved the crystal structure of H256A to a resolution of 2. 4 A by molecular replacement. Clear electron density for Fru-6-P is found at the Fru-2,6-Pase active site, revealing the important interactions in substrate/product binding. A superposition of the H256A structure with the RT2K-Wo structure reveals no significant reorganization of the active site resulting from the binding of Fru-6-P or the H256A mutation. Using this superposition, we have built a view of the Fru-2,6-P2-bound enzyme and identify the residues responsible for catalysis. This analysis yields distinct catalytic mechanisms for the wild type and mutant proteins. The wild type mechanism would lead to an inefficient transfer of a proton to the leaving group Fru-6-P, which is consistent with a view of this event being rate-limiting, explaining the extremely slow turnover (0. 032 s-1) of the Fru-2,6-Pase in all Fru-6-P,2-kinase/Fru-2,6-Pase isozymes.

Abstract
Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate is an important intracellular biofactor in the control of carbohydrate metabolic fluxes in eukaryotes. It is generated from ATP and fructose-6-phosphate by 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase and degraded to fructose-6-phosphate and phosphate ion by fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase. In most organisms these enzymatic activities are contained in a single polypeptide. The reciprocal modulation of the kinase and bisphosphatase activities by post-translational modifications places the level of the biofactor under the control of extra-cellular signals. In general, these signals are generated in response to changing nutritional states, therefore, fructose-2,6-bisphosphate plays a role in the adaptation of organisms, and the tissues within them, to changes in environmental and metabolic states. Although the specific mechanism of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate action varies between species and between tissues, most involve the allosteric activation of 6-phosphofructo-1-kinase and inhibition of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase. These highly conserved enzymes regulate the fructose-6-phosphate/fructose-1,6-bisphosphate cycle, and thereby, determine the carbon flux. It is by reciprocal modulation of these activities that fructose-2,6-bisphosphate plays a fundamental role in eukaryotic carbohydrate metabolism.

Abstract
Methods for the efficient use of the 13C-labeled nutrients, glucose and histidine, in the production of recombinant protein were developed to provide the large amount of sample required for NMR studies. The nutrient requirements were reduced by determining the minimum amount of these metabolites needed during both the growth and the induction phases of the BL21(DE3) and newly constructed BL21(DE3) histidine auxotrophic Escherichia coli cultures. These methods were developed using the separate bisphosphatase domain of rat liver 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/ fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase, which is expressed to high levels in the pET3a/BL21 (DE3) bacterial system. Use of the optimized expression methods reduced the requirements for the labeled nutrients, glucose and histidine, by 90 and 93.8%, respectively. The savings realized by use of the minimized media and modified induction protocols were obtained without significant reduction of the yield of purified protein. Comprehensive study of the bisphosphatase domain by NMR spectroscopy requires large amounts of protein because of its low solubility and the short lifetime (2-3 days) of the NMR samples. The significant reduction in the costs of labeled protein samples realized by the optimized expression methods can meet these sample requirements in a cost-effective way, and thereby, allow NMR studies of the bisphosphatase domain to proceed.

Abstract
The crystal structure of the fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase domain trapped during the reaction reveal a phosphorylated His 258, and a water molecule immobilized by the product, fructose-6-phosphate. The geometry suggests that the dephosphorylation step requires prior removal of the product for an 'associative in-line' phosphoryl transfer to the catalytic water.
