Phosphofructokinase II (PFK II) from Trichoderma reesei was partially purified (247-fold). The calculated K m values for fructose 6-phosphate and ATP were 0·7 mm and 40 μm, respectively. Upon incubation in the presence of [γ-32P]ATP, the enzyme formed a radioactive phosphoprotein with molecular mass of 67 kDa in autoradiography analysis after SDS-PAGE. Upon incubation in the presence of ATP-Mg and the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, its activity was not modified. The same result was obtained when a cell-free extract of T. veesei was incubated with ATP-Mg and cAMP. 2,4-Dinitrophenol caused a transient rise in cAMP levels in the fungal cell. These results provide evidence that the fructose 2,6-bisphosphate level in T. reesei is independent of cAMP concentrations and not related to a cAMP-dependent mechanism, but to the availability of substrate fructose 6-phosphate.
