Abstract

Several enzymes of the glycolytic pathway are phosphorylated in vitro and in vivo by retroviral transforming protein kinases. These substrates include the enzymes phosphoglycerate mutase (PGM), enolase and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Here we show that purified EGF (epidermal growth factor)-receptor kinase phosphorylates the enzymes PGM and enolase and also the key regulatory enzymes of the glycolytic pathway, phosphofructokinase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), in an EGF-dependent manner. Stoichiometry of phosphate incorporation into GAPDH (calculated from native Mr) is the highest, reaching approximately 1. LDH and other enzymes of the glycolytic pathway are not phosphorylated by the purified EGF-receptor kinase. These enzymes are phosphorylated under native conditions, and the Km values of EGF-receptor kinase for their phosphorylation are close to the physiological concentrations of these enzymes in the cell. EGF stimulates the reaction by 2-5-fold by increasing the Vmax. without affecting the Km of this process. Phosphorylation is rapid at 22 degrees C and at higher temperatures. However, unlike the self-phosphorylation of EGF-receptor, which occurs at 4 degrees C, the glycolytic enzymes are poorly phosphorylated at this temperature. Some enzymes, in particular enolase, increase the receptor Km for ATP in the autophosphorylation process and thus may act as competitive inhibitors of EGF-receptor self-phosphorylation. On the basis of the Km values of EGF receptor for the substrate enzymes and for ATP in the phosphorylation reaction, these enzymes may also be substrates in vivo for the EGF-receptor kinase.
