Abstract: | The effect of adenine nucleotides on the catalytic activity of spermatocyte glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GA3PDH) was studied for its significance to metabolic regulation. In the presence of glucose (10 mM), the ATP level declined whereas the ADP and AMP levels remained unchanged. During incubation with glucose, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (fruc 1,6-P2) and dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) were accumulated markedly. GA3PDH was inhibited by ATP (Ki = 2.27 mM), ADP (Ki = 1.21 mM) and AMP (Ki = 0.73 mM) competitively with NAD (Km = 0.24 mM). The results suggest that glycolysis in spermatocytes is regulated by GA3PDH. |
