Abstract

The role of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate in the regulation of glycolysis in the citric acid accumulating fungus was investigated. Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate stimulated the activity of partially purified phosphofructokinase by increasing the affinity of the enzyme for fructose 6-phosphate and relieving inhibition by ATP. Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate acted synergistically with AMP, but not with NH ions, which otherwise also activate phosphofructokinase. Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate also partially antagonized citrate inhibition of phosphofructokinase; complete deinhibition against high (5 m) concentrations of citrate (as occur during citric acid accumulation), however, required the simultaneous presence of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (0·1 μ). AMP (0·1 μ) and NH ions (20 m).
