Abstract

UDP glucose-4 epimerase from Saccharomyces fragilis was found to be activated at low substrate concentrations by some metabolically related sugar phosphates. The stimulation of the enzyme activity showed a sigmoidal response to the increasing concentration of glucose-6 phosphate at a fixed substrate concentration. The activated enzyme was allosterically inhibited by UMP which otherwise acted as a strictly competitive inhibitor for the enzyme. The interaction with sugar phosphates was not accompanied by any change in the aggregation state of the molelcule.
