Phosphorylation of the ascarid phosphofructokinase with the catalytic subunit of beef heart cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase results in the incorporation of 1 mol of P/mol of subunit. Accompanying the phosphorylation there is a 3-4-fold increase in catalytic activity when measured at pH 6.8 with inhibitory levels of ATP. Studies on the effect of phosphorylation on the ATP saturation curve demonstrated that phosphorylation decreased the inhibitory action of ATP. The apparent Km of the catalytic subunit for the phosphofructokinase was 11.2 microM. Chymotryptic or subtilisin digestion of the labeled enzyme released distinct but overlapping phosphopeptides that were purified by high pressure liquid chromatography and sequenced by gas phase peptide sequencing. The sequence of the chymotryptic peptide was Ala-Lys-Gly-Arg-Ser-Asp-Ser(P)-Ile-Val-Pro-Thr. Based on these results and earlier observations, it is proposed that phosphorylation of phosphofructokinase plays an important role in the regulation of energy metabolism in the parasitic helminth.
