Abstract

The influence of 16 substances-effectors on the extracellular mollicute fructosobisphosphatase (FBPhase) was studied for the first time. These effectors are used, as a rule, when studying properties of this enzyme biopreparations newly isolated from the cells of animals, plants and cells of microorganisms. It was established that optimum pH for FBPhase of mollicutes is whithin 7.3-7.5 and on the basis of this index it is attributed to the group of the "neutral" of these enzymes. Cations of K, Mn, Mg, NH4, Tl and phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) increase its activity. Cations of Li and adenosin 5'-monophosphate (AMP) proved to be the inhibitors of mollicute FBPhase activity. Chelators (EDTA, citrate, imidasol pyruvate, L-histidine) activated it inconsiderably (by 10-20%). Cations of Zn, in contrast to those of other tested metals, in low concentrations (0.1 - 0.2 microM) inhibited FBPhase activity, but when increasing their concentration (6 microM and above) activated the enzyme even better than it was observed for Mn and Mg cations, the necessary components of the reacting mixtures. Thus, when determining the components of the reacting mixtures with the purpose to study the properties of mollicute FBPhase and to regulate its activity in the in vitro systems under pH values optimal for the enzyme, the monovalent (NH4, K, Tl) and bivalent (Mg, Mn, Zn) cations may be introduced in their compositions as activators, AMP and Li cations should be used as inhibitors. Other substances which were studied when making their work proved to be inessential effectors is respect of mollicute FBPhase.
