“…This suggests that an increase in homologous protein-protein interactions, probably promoting subunit aggregation, is responsible for the PEG-mediated activation and inhibition of COS FBPasec at low and high concentrations of F-1,6-P2, respectively. By contrast, most other enzymes that have been examined in the presence of PEG, or by various in situ approaches, do not display any significant alteration in their kinetic behaviour [5,6]. The exception appears to be certain regulatory oligomers such as mammalian phosphofructokinase and pyruvate kinase [5,6], as well as plant cytosolic pyruvate kinase, ribulose 1,5-P 2 carboxylase activase, and PPi-dependent phosphofructokinase [9][10][11].…”
