Resumo

Rabbit muscle aldolase was reduced with sodium borohydride (or cyanoborohydride) in the presence of specifically labeled [3H]- and [14C]fructose 1,6-diphosphate. Under steady-state conditions, about 10–15% of the specific ϵ-lysine catalytic sites were bound to fructose 1,6-diphosphate by a covalent ketimine linkage. The remaining substituted lysine residues were identified as N6-β-glyceryllysine. The results argue against a concerted mechanism of binding and cleavage of fructose 1,6-diphosphate by type I aldolases.
