Abstract
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase from rat liver cytosol is activated by Fe2+ ions in either direction of catalysis. Preincubation of the purified enzyme with Fe2+ ions causes a time-dependent irreversible loss of activity; this is not seen with unpurified enzyme. Purified enzyme can be protected from inactivation by Fe2+ ions by partially purified protein fractions from liver (ferroactivator fractions). The possible role of ferroactivator and Fe2+ ions in regulating phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase is discussed.Entities:
