Fru-2,6-P/sub 2/ and AMP are potent inhibitors of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase). AMP inhibits by binding to an allosteric site. While Fru-2,6-P/sub 2/ and fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (Fru-1,6-P/sub 2/) binding is mutually exclusive, a controversy exists as to whether Fru-2,6-P/sub 2/ inhibits by binding to the active site or a regulatory site. To address this question, the aromatic region of the /sup 1/H NMR spectrum of FBPase was examined in the absence and presence of Fru-1,6-P/sub 2/, Fru-2,6-P/sub 2/, and AMP. All of the spectral perturbations produced by Fru-1,6-P/sub 2/ binding were also seen with Fru-2,6-P/sub 2/: (1) the C2-H of His 1 (pKa=7.1) shifted downfield 0.03 ppm (pH 5.3); (2) the C2-H of His 2 shifted downfield 0.03 ppm (pH 5.3) and broadened; (3) several resonances in the phe/tyr region of the spectrum decreased in intensity. In addition, both fructose bisphosphates produced a change in the exchange rate of AMP from past/intermediate in the binary enzyme AMP complex to slow exchange in the ternary complex. AMP produced similar changes in the phe/tyr region of the spectrum. Unlike the fructose bisphosphates, AMP binding produced: (1) broadening of the C2-H of His 1; (2) no effect on His 2 and; (3) an enhancement of the intensity of a resonance at 7.25 ppm (pH 5.3). The results are consistent with an active site binding mode of inhibition for Fru-2,6-P/sub 2/. AMP binding to a regulatory site was apparent from the different results obtained with this ligand.
