Isolation, purification and characterization of pyruvate kinase from Staphylococcus aureus : a potential drug target [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Scientific Research, 2014
Background: With emergence of multidrug-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus, there is an urgent need for the development of new antimicrobials which are narrow and pathogen specific.

Integrated Transcriptome and Metabolomics Analyses Show MYC as a Potential Therapeutic Target for Behçet's Uveitis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Integrated single‐cell transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses reveal that MYC‐driven glycolysis activates the PI3K‐AKT‐FOXO1 pathway, disrupting Th17/Treg balance and promoting uveitis. MYC inhibition restores immune homeostasis and alleviates disease symptoms.

MTCH2 Deficiency Promotes E2F4/TFRC‐Mediated Ferroptosis and Sensitizes Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastasis to Sorafenib

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies MTCH2 as a crucial regulator of ferroptosis in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression. High expression of MTCH2 is correlated with poor prognosis in CRC patients. Furthermore, MTCH2 depletion induces ferroptosis to suppress CRC liver metastasis via the E2F4/TFRC axis and sensitizes tumors to sorafenib treatment, supporting MTCH2 as a

Novel Antimicrobial Protein Fibroblast Growth Factor 8 Accelerates Skin Wound Healing via Directly Inhibiting Bacteria and Activating Glycolysis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Wound infections induce gcFGF8a expression, which subsequently executes direct antimicrobial activity to suppress local infection while simultaneously activating the FGFR4‐mediated ERK/AKT‐mTOR signaling cascade, thereby upregulating HIF1α and enhancing glycolysis. These coordinated actions synergistically promote tissue repair by eliminating pathogens

Metabolic responses to pyruvate kinase deletion in lysine producing Corynebacterium glutamicum

Microbial Cell Factories, 2008
Background Pyruvate kinase is an important element in flux control of the intermediate metabolism. It catalyzes the irreversible conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate into pyruvate and is under allosteric control.

The Evolutionary Trajectory and Prognostic Value of GITR+ Tregs Reprogramed by Tumor‐Intrinsic PD‐1/c‐MET Signaling in Pancreatic Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), tumor‐intrinsic PD‐1 signaling activates the MET pathway, leading to the establishment of an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). This MET‐driven signaling cascade promotes the selective accumulation of GITR+ regulatory T cells (Tregs), a highly immunosuppressive subset.

New insights on the mechanism of the K(+-) independent activity of crenarchaeota pyruvate kinases.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Eukarya pyruvate kinases have glutamate at position 117 (numbered according to the rabbit muscle enzyme), whereas in Bacteria have either glutamate or lysine and in Archaea have other residues.
