Kinetic and allosteric consequences of mutations in the subunit and domain interfaces and the allosteric site of yeast pyruvate kinase.

Abstract excerpt

The mechanism by which pyruvate kinase (PK) is allosterically activated by fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) is poorly understood. To identify residues key to allostery of yeast PK, a point mutation strategy was used. T403E and R459Q mutations in the FBP binding site caused reduced FBP affinity. Introducing positive charges at the 403, 458, and 406 positions in the FBP binding site had little consequence. The...
