pyruvate kinase activity
Definition
Target type: molecularfunction
Catalysis of the reaction: = ADP + H+ + phosphoenolpyruvate => ATP + pyruvate. [EC:2.7.1.40, RHEA:18159]
Pyruvate kinase (PK) is a key enzyme in glycolysis, catalyzing the irreversible transfer of a phosphate group from phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to ADP, generating ATP and pyruvate. This reaction represents the final step of glycolysis, where energy stored in the form of PEP is harnessed to produce ATP, the primary energy currency of the cell. Pyruvate kinase activity is crucial for maintaining cellular energy homeostasis and fueling various metabolic processes. The enzyme exhibits a complex mechanism involving a two-step reaction. First, PEP binds to the active site of the enzyme, leading to a conformational change that facilitates the transfer of the phosphate group. Second, ADP binds to the enzyme-PEP complex, and the phosphate group is transferred to ADP, producing ATP and pyruvate. The activity of pyruvate kinase is tightly regulated by various factors, including substrate availability, allosteric effectors, and post-translational modifications. This intricate regulation ensures that glycolysis operates efficiently and responds appropriately to changing cellular needs. For instance, high levels of ATP and alanine inhibit PK activity, while fructose 1,6-bisphosphate activates it, providing a feedback loop for controlling glycolytic flux. In addition, phosphorylation of PK at specific residues can modulate its activity and cellular localization. Pyruvate kinase deficiency, a genetic disorder characterized by impaired PK activity, can lead to various health issues, including hemolytic anemia. The molecular function of pyruvate kinase is essential for cellular life, playing a pivotal role in energy production, metabolic regulation, and overall cellular homeostasis.'
