Interactions between beta-enolase and creatine kinase in the cytosol of skeletal muscle cells.

Abstract
:

We studied interactions in vivo between the cytosolic muscle isoform of creatine kinase (M-CK) and the muscle isoform of 2-phospho-D-glycerate hydrolyase (beta-enolase) in muscle sarcoplasm by incubating glycerol-skinned fibres with FITC-labelled beta-enolase in the presence or absence of free CK. A small amount of bound beta-enolase was observed in the presence of large concentrations of CK. The mobility of enolase was measured in cultured satellite cells by modulated-fringe-pattern photobleaching. FITC-labelled beta-enolase was totally mobile in both the presence and the absence of CK but its diffusion coefficient was slightly lower in the presence of CK. This suggests a weak interaction in vivo between enolase and CK.
