TLDR
The findings suggest that this enzyme has both phosphohydrolase and phosphotransferase activities i.e. that it is bifunctional, and that both activities can be regulated by cAMP-dependent phosphorylation.

The protein phosphatases involved in cellular regulation

TL;DR: Spermine increased the activity of protein phosphatase-2A towards eight of nine substrates tested and was a more potent activator than spermidine, while putrescine had only a small effect, and Mn2+ could not mimic the activating effect of spermine on dephosphorylation of glycogen synthase (labelled in sites-3) by protein phosph atase 1.

A mechanism for memory storage insensitive to molecular turnover: a bistable autophosphorylating kinase.

TL;DR: It is shown that a kinase that is activated by phosphorylation and an associated phosphatase form a bistable chemical switch that can be turned on by an external stimulus and that is not reset by protein turnover.

6-Phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase: head-to-head with a bifunctional enzyme that controls glycolysis

TL;DR: A PFK-2/FBPase-2 sequence in the genome of one prokaryote could be the result of horizontal gene transfer from a eukaryote distantly related to all other organisms, possibly a protist.

Glucagon physiology and pathophysiology in the light of new advances.

TL;DR: It now appears that α cells can respond directly to hyperglycaemia in the absence of insulin and β cells, but that antecedent hyperglyCAemia masks or attenuates this response.

Protein Measurement with the Folin Phenol Reagent

TL;DR: Procedures are described for measuring protein in solution or after precipitation with acids or other agents, and for the determination of as little as 0.2 gamma of protein.

Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, the probably structure of the glucose- and glucagon-sensitive stimulator of phosphofructokinase.

TL;DR: The low-molecular-weight stimulator of phosphofructokinase has been purified from rat liver and is tentatively identified as fructose 2,6-bisphosphate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase by fructose 2,6-biphosphate

TL;DR: Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, a known powerful stimulator of phosphofructokinase, was found to inhibit, at micromolar concentrations, liver and muscle fructose-1-6-biphosphate (D-fructose-1, 6-bisPhosphate 1-phosphohydrolase, EC 3.3.1.11).

Inhibition of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase by fructose 2,6-bisphosphate.

TL;DR: Rat liver fructose-1,6-bisph phosphatase, which was assayed by measuring the release of 32P from fructose 1,6-[1-32P]bisphosphate at pH 7.5, exhibited hyperbolic kinetics with regard to its substrate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate. A new activator of phosphofructokinase.

TL;DR: Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate had properties identical with those of the activator purified from hepatocyte extracts and is likely that this new activator is an important physiologic factor of phosphofructokinase in vivo.
