Table 4.

Common features of m-NAD(P)-ME and PFK-1.

Feature m-NAD(P)-ME PFK-1
Subcellular Location Mitochondria Cytosol
Quaternary Structure

Tetramer (most active)

Dimer (less active)

Tetramer (most active)

Dimer (less active)

Allosteric Nucleotide-binding Site

One site

Exosite at the tetramer interface; can bind to NAD+, ATP or ADP2224,27,28

NAD+ binding: Enhances the formation of a tetrameric structure

ATP binding: Promotes the dissociation of tetramers into dimers

Two sites

Activating nucleotide-binding site can bind to ADP or AMP.

Inhibitory nucleotide-binding site can bind to ATP or ADP.

ATP binding: Promotes the dissociation of tetramers into dimers42,43

Nucleotide Substrate NAD+ ATP (<1 mM)
Nucleotide Inhibitor

ATP (IC50 = 0.2 mM)

ADP (IC50 = 3.7 mM) tetramers disassociate into dimers

ATP (>1 mM)

ADP (at mM)

tetramers disassociate into dimers

Nucleotide Activator NAD+ ADP (at μM)
