| Abstract |
Escherichia coli grown on gluconeogenic compounds as carbon sources produced two chemically and physically distinct types of fructose-1,6-biphosphate aldolases (D-fructose-1,6-bisphosphate D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphatelyase, EC 4.1.2.13), while these bacteria produced only a single enzyme when grown on glucose or fructose. We have investigated this enzyme in several strains of Escherichia coli (Crookes, K-12, and B) grown on glucose, fructose lactate, pyruvate, alanine and glycerol by comparing chemical properties and mechanisms of action. Comparison of these mechanisms was accomplished by following the fate of 18O in the keto position of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate during the aldolase catalyzed cleavage reaction. The results show that the two enzymes have different mechanisms of action and are consistent with a Schiff-base mechanism for the one which was induced by gluconeogenic substrates and metal-chelate mechanism for the constitutive enzyme. |
