Kinetic studies indicate that glucose-6-phosphatase is a multifunctional enzyme. a) Phosphohydrolase activities. The mannose-6-phosphatase activity is low (Km = 8 mM, VM = 90 nmoles. min-1mg-1). The enzyme shows a strong affinity for glucose-6-phosphate (Km = 2.5 mM, VM = 220 nmoles.min-1mg-1). beta-glycerophosphate (K1 = 30 mM), D-glucose (Ki = 120 mM) are mixed type inhibitors; pyrophosphate (Ki = 2 mM) is a non competitive one. b) Phosphotransferase activities. Di and triphosphate adenylic nucleosides or phosphoenol pyruvate are not substrates. Carbamylphosphate serves as a phosphoryl donor with D-glucose as acceptor. The phosphate transfer is consisstent with a random mechanism in which the binding of one substrate increases the enzymes affinity for the second substrate. Apparent Km values for carbamyl-phosphate range from 5.2 mM (D-glucose concentration leads to infinity) to 8 mM (D-glucose concentration leads to 0). The corresponding apparent Km values for D-glucose are 59 mM (carbamyl-phosphate concentration leads to infinity) to 119 mM (carbamyl-phosphate concentration leads to 0). Maximal reaction velocity with infinite levels of both substrates is 270 nmoles.min-1.mg-1. Pyrophosphate is a poor phosphoryl donnor (Km = 55 mM with D-glucose concentration 250 mM). In addition we do not find any latency; detergents, namely sodium deoxycholate, Triton X 100 do not affect or inhibit glucose-6-phosphatase activity.

Glucose-6-phosphatase is a multicomponent endoplasmic reticulum system comprising at least six different proteins, including a lumenal enzyme and several transport proteins. One of the transport proteins, T2beta, transports the substrate pyrophosphate and the product phosphate and its genetic deficiency is termed type 1c glycogen storage disease. We have used anti-T2beta antibodies for immunohistochemistry with image analysis and kinetic analysis of the glucose-6-phosphatase system to study for the temporal and spatial development of T2beta in human embryonic and fetal kidney. In metanephric kidney, there is an early predominance of T2beta expression in the ureteric bud derivatives and this changes with ontogeny such that developing nephrons, particularly proximal tubules, become dominant by mid-gestation. T2beta has the same spatial and temporal pattern as the glucose-6-phosphatase enzyme in both mesonephric and metanephric kidney. Pyrophosphate transport capacity is appropriate for the amount of glucose-6-phosphatase activity present in mid-gestation fetal kidney, in contrast to liver, where pyrophosphate transport capacity is developmentally delayed. Increasing knowledge of the temporal and spatial expression of the glucose-6-phosphatase proteins and their catalytic roles in early human development is essential for the elucidation of the aetiology of renal disease in both type I glycogen storage diseases and the developmental disorders of the glucose-6-phosphatase system.
