Abstract The hydrolysis of fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate to fructose 6-phosphate is a key reaction of carbohydrate metabolism. The enzyme that catalyzes this reaction, fructose-1, 6-bisphosphatase, appears to be present in all forms of living organisms. Regulation of the enzyme activity, however, occurs by a variety of distinct mechanisms. These include AMP inhibition (most sources), cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylation (yeast), and light-dependent activation (chloroplast). In the present studies, we have made a comparison of the primary structure of mammalian fructose-1, 6-bisphosphatase with the sequence of peptides isolated from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Escherichia coli, and spinach chloroplast enzymes. Our results demonstrate a high degree of sequence homology, suggesting a common evolutionary origin for all fructose-1, 6-bisphosphatases.
