HBV-Induced Pyruvate Increases Lactylation of Pyruvate Kinase M2 (PKM2) at K206 to Promote Liver Fibrosis [PDF]

Pathogens
We previously demonstrated that HBV promotes liver fibrosis through the enhanced production of pyruvate. Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2), a key enzyme in pyruvate metabolism, plays an important role in liver fibrogenesis. Recently, lactylation of PKM2 has been

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

Reciprocal Regulation of Protein Kinase and Pyruvate Kinase Activities of Pyruvate Kinase M2 by Growth Signals [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2013
Pyruvate kinase isoform M2 (PKM2) is an enzyme-catalyzing conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate in the glycolysis pathway. It was demonstrated that PKM2 interacts with tyrosine phosphopeptide, and the interaction with the tyrosine phosphopeptide affects the pyruvate kinase activity of PKM2.

Diagnostic value of plasma M2-pyruvate kinase in Egyptian patients with colorectal cancer [PDF]

Al-Azhar International Medical Journal, 2022
Background: M2-pyruvate kinase (M2-PK) plays an important role in tumor metabolism, and new studies have shown that M2-PK can operate as both a protein kinase and a transcription factor coactivator.

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.

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 ...
