RESUMO

A fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (EC 3.1.3.11) (FBPase) was purified over 100-fold from Anacystis nidulans. At variance with a previous report (R. H. Bishop, Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 196:295-300, 1979), the regulatory properties of the enzyme were found to be like those of chloroplast enzymes rather than intermediate between chloroplast (photosynthetic) and heterotrophic FBPases. The pH optimum of Anacystis FBPase was between 8.0 and 8.5 and shifted to lower values with increasing Mg2+ concentration. Under the experimental conditions used by Bishop, we found the saturation curve of the enzyme to be sigmoidal for Mg2+ ions and hyperbolic for fructose 1,6-bisphosphate. The half-maximal velocity of the Anacystis FBPase was reached at concentrations of 5 mM MgCl2 and 0.06 mM fructose 1,6-bisphosphate. AMP did not inhibit the enzyme. The activity of the FBPase was found to be under a delicate control of oxidizing and reducing conditions. Oxidants like O2, H2O2, oxidized glutathione, and dehydroascorbic acid decreased the enzyme activity, whereas reductants like dithiothreitol and reduced glutathione increased it. The oxido-reductive modulation of FBPase proved to be reversible. Reduced glutathione stimulated the enzyme activity at physiological concentrations (1 to 10 mM).l The reduced glutathione-induced activation was higher at pH 8.0 than at pH 7.0.
