Two isoforms of pyruvate kinase enzymes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa with distinct functional and structural properties
2019-01-01
Abstract excerpt
In most organisms, phosphofructokinase (PFK) and pyruvate kinase (PK) are the key glycolytic regulatory enzymes. However, the opportunistic human pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, relies entirely on the Entner-Doudoroff pathway for glycolysis, and consequently, does not encode a PFK homologue. It does encode two PK isozymes though, denoted PykA and PykF. This arrangement is uncommon in bacteria, although when it d...
