Abstract

Glucokinase reversibly partitions between a bound and a free state in the hepatocyte in response to the metabolic status of the cell. Maximum binding occurs at low [glucose] (<5 mM) and minimum binding at high [glucose] or in the presence of sorbitol or fructose. In this study we determined the binding characteristics of glucokinase in the hepatocyte in situ, by adenovirus-mediated glucokinase overexpression combined with the digitonin-permeabilization technique. We also determined the sensitivity of glycogen synthesis to changes in either total glucokinase overexpression or in free glucokinase activity. Glucokinase overexpression is associated with an increase in both free and bound activity, with an overall decrease in the proportion of bound activity. In hepatocytes incubated at low [glucose] (0-5 mM), glucokinase binding involves a high-affinity binding site with a Kd of approximately 0.1 microM and a binding capacity of approximately 3 pmol/mg total cell protein and low-affinity binding with a Kd of approximately 1.6 microM. Increasing glucose concentration to 20 mM causes a dose-dependent increase in the Kd of the high- affinity site to approximately 0.6 microM, and this effect was mimicked by 50 microM sorbitol, a precur...Continue Reading
