摘要
Small molecule activators of glucokinase (GK) were used in kinetic and equilibrium binding studies to probe the biochemical basis for their allosteric effects. These small molecules decreased the glucose K-0.5 (similar to 1 mM vs similar to 8 mM) and the glucose cooperativity (Hill coefficient of 1.2 vs 1.7) and lowered the k(cat) to various degrees (62-95% of the control activity). These activators relieved GK's inhibition from glucokinase regulatory protein (GKRP) in a glucose-dependent manner and activated GK to the same extent as control reactions in the absence of GKRP. In equilibrium binding studies, the intrinsic glucose affinity to the activator-bound enzyme was determined and demonstrated a 700-fold increase relative to the apoenzyme. This is consistent with a reduction in apparent glucose K-D and the steady-state parameter K-0.5 as a result of enzyme equilibrium shifting to the activator-bound form. The binding of small molecules to GK was dependent on glucose, consistent with the structural evidence for an allosteric binding site which is present in the glucose-induced, active enzyme form of GK and absent in the inactive apoenzyme [Kamata et al. (2004) Structure 12, 429-438]. A mechanistic model that brings together the kinetic and structural data is proposed which allows qualitative and quantitative analysis of the glucose-dependent GK regulation by small molecules. The regulation of GK activation by glucose may have an important implication for the discovery and design of GK activators as potential antidiabetic agents.
