Pyruvate Kinase M2 mutant - S437Y
Structural highlights
Function[KPYM_HUMAN] Glycolytic enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a phosphoryl group from phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to ADP, generating ATP. Stimulates POU5F1-mediated transcriptional activation. Plays a general role in caspase independent cell death of tumor cells. The ratio betwween the highly active tetrameric form and nearly inactive dimeric form determines whether glucose carbons are channeled to biosynthetic processes or used for glycolytic ATP production. The transition between the 2 forms contributes to the control of glycolysis and is important for tumor cell proliferation and survival.[1] [2] [3] Publication Abstract from PubMedPyruvate kinase muscle isoform 2 (PKM2) catalyzes the terminal step in glycolysis, transferring a phosphoryl group from phosphoenolpyruvate to ADP, to produce pyruvate and ATP. PKM2 activity is allosterically regulated by fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (FBP), an upstream glycolytic intermediate. FBP stabilizes the tetrameric form of the enzyme. In its absence, the PKM2 tetramers dissociate, yielding a dimer-monomer mixture having lower enzymatic activity. The S437Y variant of PKM2 is incapable of binding FBP. Consistent with that defect, we find that S437Y exists in a monomer-dimer equilibrium in solution, with a Kd of approximately 20 muM. Interestingly, however, the protein crystallizes as a tetramer, providing insight into the structural basis for impaired FBP binding of S437Y.
