Pyruvate kinase deficiency

Haematologica, 2007
Over the past few years the inherited disorders of erythrocyte metabolism have been the object of intensive research which has resulted in a better understanding of their molecular basis. However, curative therapy for red blood cell (RBC) enzyme defects still remains undeveloped.

Pyruvate kinase directly generates GTP in glycolysis, supporting growth and contributing to guanosine toxicity [PDF]

mBio
Guanosine triphosphate (GTP) is essential for macromolecular biosynthesis, and its intracellular levels are tightly regulated in bacteria. Loss of the alarmone (p)ppGpp disrupts GTP regulation in Bacillus subtilis, causing cell death in the presence of ...

Allosteric regulation of pyruvate kinase enables efficient and robust gluconeogenesis by preventing metabolic conflicts and carbon overflow [PDF]

mSystems
Gluconeogenesis, the reciprocal pathway of glycolysis, is an energy-consuming process that generates glycolytic intermediates from non-carbohydrate sources. In this study, we demonstrate that robust and efficient gluconeogenesis in bacteria relies on the

Pyruvate kinase phosphatase [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1981
1. Introduction Liver pyruvate kinase can be phosphorylated and simultaneously inactivated by CAMP-dependent pro- tein kinase; the inactivated enzyme can be reactivated by a multifunctional protein phosphatase (review [ 13). The inactivation of pyruvate kinase has been observed in isolated hepatocytes incubated in the presence of glucagon and in this ...

A Sri Lankan girl with a new genetic variant in the PKLR gene causing pyruvate kinase deficiency: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2021
Background Erythrocyte pyruvate kinase is expressed under the control of the PKLR gene located on chromosome 1q21. Pyruvate kinase catalyzes the final steps of the glycolytic pathway and creates 50% of the red cell total adenosine triphosphate.

Ethyl pyruvate protects SHSY5Y cells against 6-hydroxydopamine-induced neurotoxicity by upregulating autophagy

PLoS ONE, 2023
Parkinson disease is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disorder with a prevalence that increases with age. The glycolytic end-product pyruvate, has antioxidant and neuroprotective feature. Here, we investigated the effects of ethyl pyruvate (EP), a

Protein kinase function of pyruvate kinase M2 and cancer

Cancer Cell International, 2020
Pyruvate kinase is a terminal enzyme in the glycolytic pathway, where it catalyzes the conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate and production of ATP via substrate level phosphorylation.
