Structural basis for allosteric regulation of human phosphofructokinase-1 [PDF]
Phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK1) catalyzes the rate-limiting step of glycolysis, committing glucose to conversion into cellular energy. PFK1 is highly regulated to respond to the changing energy needs of the cell.

Mutual regulation between phosphofructokinase 1 platelet isoform and VEGF promotes glioblastoma tumor growth [PDF]
Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly vascular malignant brain tumor that overexpresses vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and phosphofructokinase 1 platelet isoform (PFKP), which catalyzes a rate-limiting reaction in glycolysis.

Phosphofructokinase 1 Platelet Isoform Promotes β-Catenin Transactivation for Tumor Development [PDF]
Metabolism plays a critical role in direct regulation of a variety of cellular activities via metabolic enzymes and metabolites. Here, we demonstrate that phosphofructokinase 1 platelet isoform (PFKP), which catalyzes a rate-limiting reaction in ...

TAp73-induced phosphofructokinase-1 transcription promotes the Warburg effect and enhances cell proliferation [PDF]
TAp73 is a structural homolog of the tumor suppressor p53. Here they show that TAp73 is critical for promoting glycolysis as it stimulates the transcriptional expression of liver type of phosphofructokinase-1 (PFKL), which catalyzes the committed step in

Stabilization of phosphofructokinase 1 platelet isoform by AKT promotes tumorigenesis [PDF]
Phosphofructokinase 1 (PFK1) plays a critical role in glycolysis. Here the authors show that PFK1 platelet isoform is upregulated in Glioblastoma and is required for tumor growth mechanistically, such upregulation is due to an increased stability induced

EGFR-Phosphorylated Platelet Isoform of Phosphofructokinase 1 Promotes PI3K Activation. [PDF]
EGFR activates phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), but the mechanism underlying this activation is not completely understood. We demonstrated here that EGFR activation resulted in lysine acetyltransferase 5 (KAT5)-mediated K395 acetylation of the platelet isoform of phosphofructokinase 1 (PFKP) and subsequent translocation of PFKP to the plasma ...

Phosphofructokinase-1 and fructose bisphosphatase-1 in canine liver and kidney. [PDF]
In healthy individuals, plasma glucose levels are maintained within a normal range. During fasting, endogenous glucose is released either through glycogenolysis or gluconeogenesis. Gluconeogenesis involves the formation of glucose-6-phosphate from a variety of precursors followed by its subsequent hydrolysis to glucose.

Protein phosphatase 4 dephosphorylates phosphofructokinase-1 to regulate its enzymatic activity. [PDF]
Most cancer cells utilize glucose at a high rate to produce energy and precursors for the biosynthesis of macromolecules such as lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. This phenomenon is called the Warburg effect or aerobic glycolysis— this distinct characteristic is an attractive target for developing anticancer drugs.

MiR-135 suppresses glycolysis and promotes pancreatic cancer cell adaptation to metabolic stress by targeting phosphofructokinase-1 [PDF]
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma must adapt to a nutrient-poor microenvironment. Here, the authors show that miR-135 accumulates in response to glutamine deprivation and inhibits aerobic glycolysis by targeting phosphofructokinase-1, thereby redirecting ...
