Abstract


6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase is a key regulatory enzyme of glucose metabolism. This bifunctional enzyme controls glycolysis and gluconeogenesis as well as glucose phosphorylation and metabolism. 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase-2 (PFKFB-2) plays significant role in the glycolysis regulation in the heart as well as in some other organs (kidney, brain and lung). Results of this investigation clearly demonstrated that in the glioma cells as well as in some mouse organs are presented several new unique alternative splice variants of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase-2. These PFKFB-2 splice variants are a result of deletions or/and inserts in catalytic regions of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase and fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase as well as in С-terminal regulatory region. Alternative splice variants of PFKFB-2 from glioma and mouse cells contain different inserts after 2nd exon but mouse splice variant has also deletion in 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase region and insert in C-terminus. Another splice variants of mouse PFKFB-2 have deletions in 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase or fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase regions, since one splice variant has deletion of all catalytic domains. In conclusion, this study provides evidences that alternative splicing of PFKFB-2 mRNA possibly has a significant role in glycolysis regulation via creation of monofunctional isoforms of this enzyme.
