Robert G. Kemp and Paul B. Forest abstract: Rabbit skeletal muscle phosphofructokinase contains 16.9±0.3 cysteinyl residues per 90,000 g of enzyme. On the basis of their reactivity toward 5, 5'-dithiobis (2-nitrobenzoic acid), these cysteinyl residues may be classified into fivegroups. A single exceedingly reactive SH group exhibits an apparent second-order rate constant that is 2 X 104 times higher than the rate of the reaction of denatured phosphofructokinase with the disulfide compound. The second class of SH groups consists of two cysteinyl residues that are somewhat less reactive and are protected from reaction by either ade-nine nucleotides or fructose 6-phosphate. The reaction of these two SH groups with 5, 5'-dithiobis (2-nitro-benzoic acid) results in the loss of more than 90% of the enzyme activity. The third class consists of one SH group that reacts at about 0.4 of the rate of the second class. Approximately five SH groupsbecome available for rapidreaction with 5, 5'-dithiobis (2-nitrobenzoic acid) as the pH of the reaction medium is increased to 9. Two of these SH groups are protected from reaction with 5, 5'-dithiobis (2-nitrobenzoic acid) by fructose 1, 6-diphosphate.The remaining SH groups react very slowly with 5, 5'-dithiobis (2-nitrobenzoic acid) and can be made available for rapidreaction only if the tertiary structure of the enzyme is destroyed. A simplifiedpro-cedure for the preparation of crystalline rabbit skeletal muscle phosphofructokinase is described.
