Abstract

Asp-130 of the recombinant skeletal-muscle 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase (PFK-2)/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase was mutated into Ala in order to study its role in catalysis and/or substrate binding. The D130A mutant displayed a 30- to 140-fold decreased 2-kinase Vmax, depending on the pH, and a 30- and 60-fold increase in Km for MgATP and Fru-6-P respectively at pH 8.5 compared with the wild-type. Mutagenesis of Asp-130 to Ala had no effect on the 2-phosphatase activity, and fluorescence measurements indicated that the changes in kinetic properties of PFK-2 in the D130A mutant were not due to instability. The role of Asp-130 in the 2-kinase reaction is discussed and compared with that of Asp-103 of 6-phosphofructo-1-kinase from Escherichia coli, which binds Mg2+.
