Abstract：
:Demonstrating that naturally occurring enzyme polymorphisms significantly impact metabolic pathway flux is a fundamental step in examining the possible adaptive significance of such polymorphisms. In earlier studies of the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) polymorphism in Drosophila melanogaster, we used two different methods, exploiting both genotype-dependent interactions with the 6Pgd locus, and conventional steady-state kinetics to examine activity differences between the two common allozymes. In this report we use 1-14C- and 6-14C-labeled glucose to estimate directly genotype-dependent flux differences through the pentose shunt. Our results show that G6pdA genotype possesses statistically lower pentose shunt flux than G6pdB at 25 degrees. We estimate this to be about a 32% reduction, which is consistent with the two former studies. These results reflect a significant responsiveness of pentose shunt flux to activity variation at the G6PD-catalyzed step, and predict that the G6PD allozymes generate a polymorphism for pentose shunt flux.
