Abstract

Neutral rabbit liver fructose-1,6-diphosphatase which does not contain tryptophan has been isolated and shown to possess catalytic properties identical to that for the neutral enzyme which contains tryptophan. Criteria include pH activity optimum, EDTA and oleate activation, AMP inhibition and specific activity. However, the enzyme lacking tryptophan responds differently to proteolysis by subtilisin exhibiting a more rapid loss of sensitivity to AMP inhibition.
