Effects of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate on the activation of yeast phosphofructokinase by fructose 2,6-bisphosphate and AMP.

Fructose 1,6-bisphosphate decreases the activation of yeast 6-phosphofructokinase (ATP:fructose 6-phosphate 1-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.11) by fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, especially at cellular substrate concentrations. AMP activation of the enzyme is not influenced by fructose 1,6-bisphosphate. Inorganic phosphate increases the activation by fructose 2,6-bisphosphate and augments the deactivation of the fructose 2,6-bisphosphate activated enzyme by fructose 1,6-bisphosphate. Because various states of yeast glucose metabolism differ in the levels of the two fructose bisphosphates, the observed interactions might be of regulatory significance.
