Glucokinase (ATP:D-glucose 6-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.2) from rat islets of Langerhans was partially purified by chromatography on DEAE-Cibacron blue F3GA agarose. The enzyme eluted in two separate peaks. Sigmoidal rate dependence was found with respect to glucose (Hill coefficient = 1.5) for both enzyme fractions. Km values for glucose were 5.7 mM for the major fraction and 4.5 mM for the minor fraction. Neither fraction phosphorylated GlcNAc. A GlcNAc kinase (ATP:2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose 6-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.59)-enriched fraction, prepared by affinity chromatography on Sepharose-N-(6-aminohexanoyl)-GlcNAc, had a Km of 25 microM for GlcNAc. Islet tissue also contained hexokinase (ATP:D-hexose 6-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.1) eluting in multiple peaks. The results are consistent with the concept that glucokinase serves as the glucose sensor of pancreatic beta cells.
通过在DEAE-汽巴蓝F3GA琼脂糖上进行层析,对来自大鼠胰岛的葡萄糖激酶(ATP:D-葡萄糖6-磷酸转移酶,EC 2.7.1.2)进行了部分纯化。该酶以两个独立的峰洗脱。两种酶组分对葡萄糖均呈现S形速率依赖性(希尔系数 = 1.5)。主要组分的葡萄糖Km值为5.7 mM,次要组分的葡萄糖Km值为4.5 mM。两种组分均不使N-乙酰葡糖胺磷酸化。通过在琼脂糖-N-(6-氨基己酰基)-N-乙酰葡糖胺上进行亲和层析制备的富含N-乙酰葡糖胺激酶(ATP:2-乙酰氨基-2-脱氧-D-葡萄糖6-磷酸转移酶,EC 2.7.1.59)的组分,其对N-乙酰葡糖胺的Km值为25 μM。胰岛组织中还含有以多个峰洗脱的己糖激酶(ATP:D-己糖6-磷酸转移酶,EC 2.7.1.1)。这些结果与葡萄糖激酶作为胰腺β细胞葡萄糖传感器的概念一致。
