| Why is fructose 2,6-bisphosphate important in regulation? | 1) fructose 2,6-bisphosphate stimulates PFK1, 2) inhibits fructose 1,6 bisphosphatase, 3) signal molecule present at low conc. during starvation |
| What is increased because of adenylate cyclase? | cAMP, which activates protein kinase A (PKA) |
| (fill in with arrows) low blood glucose: _blood glucagon, _cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of this bifunctional enzyme, _PFK2 and _FBPase 2, which then _F 2,6-BP, and then _PFK1 and _Fructose 1,6-bis-phosphatase | low blood glucose: increase blood glucagon, increase cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of this bifunctional enzyme, decrease PFK2 and increase FBPase 2, which then decrease F 2,6-BP, and then decreases PFK1 and increases Fructose 1,6-bis-phosphatase |
| How does glucagon stimulate gluconeogenesis? | decrease concentration of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate in liver |
| (fill in with arrows) glucagon: _adenylate cyclase, _cAMP-dependent protein kinase, _phosphorylation of PFK2/fructose bisphosphatase 2, _kinase activity, _phosphatase activity, leads to _of fructose 2,6-BP | glucagon: increases adenylate cyclase, increases cAMP-dependent protein kinase, increases phosphorylation of PFK2/fructose bisphosphatase 2, decreases kinase activity, increase phosphatase activity, leads to decrease of fructose 2,6-BP |
