Mitapivat, a novel pyruvate kinase activator, for the treatment of hereditary hemolytic anemias
Mitapivat (AG-348) is a novel, first-in-class oral small molecule allosteric activator of the pyruvate kinase enzyme. Mitapivat has been shown to significantly upregulate both wild-type and numerous mutant forms of erythrocyte pyruvate kinase (PKR ...

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 controls signal strength in the insulin secretory pathway
Pancreatic β-cells couple nutrient metabolism with appropriate insulin secretion. Here, we show that pyruvate kinase (PK), which converts ADP and phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) into ATP and pyruvate, underlies β-cell sensing of both glycolytic and ...

Crystal structure of Cryptosporidium parvum pyruvate kinase. [PDF]
Pyruvate kinase plays a critical role in cellular metabolism of glucose by serving as a major regulator of glycolysis. This tetrameric enzyme is allosterically regulated by different effector molecules, mainly phosphosugars.

Management of Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency in Children and Adults.
Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency (PKD) is an autosomal recessive enzyme defect of the glycolytic pathway that causes congenital, non-spherocytic hemolytic anemia.

From meadows to milk to mucosa – adaptation of Streptococcus and Lactococcus species to their nutritional environments [PDF]
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are indigenous to food-related habitats as well as associated with the mucosal surfaces of animals. The LAB family Streptococcaceae consists of the genera Lactococcus and Streptococcus.

Targeting Glycolysis with Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate Enhances the Efficacy of Chemotherapeutics in Pancreatic Cancer Cells and Xenografts. [PDF]
Pancreatic cancer is a complex disease, in need of new therapeutic approaches. In this study, we explored the effect and mechanism of action of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a major polyphenol in green tea, alone and in combination with current ...
