Function

Catalyzes the final rate-limiting step of glycolysis by mediating the transfer of a phosphoryl group from phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to ADP, generating ATP (PubMed:15996096, PubMed:1854723, PubMed:20847263). The ratio between 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 (PubMed:15996096, PubMed:1854723, PubMed:20847263). The transition between the 2 forms contributes to the control of glycolysis and is important for tumor cell proliferation and survival (PubMed:15996096, PubMed:1854723, PubMed:20847263). Isoform M2. Isoform specifically expressed during embryogenesis that has low pyruvate kinase activity by itself and requires allosteric activation by D-fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) for pyruvate kinase activity (PubMed:18337823, PubMed:20847263). In addition to its pyruvate kinase activity in the cytoplasm, also acts as a regulator of transcription in the nucleus by acting as a protein kinase (PubMed:18191611, PubMed:21620138, PubMed:22056988, PubMed:22306293, PubMed:22901803, PubMed:24120661). Translocates into the nucleus in response to various signals, such as EGF receptor activation, and homodimerizes, leading to its conversion into a protein threonine- and tyrosine-protein kinase (PubMed:22056988, PubMed:22306293, PubMed:22901803, PubMed:24120661, PubMed:26787900). Catalyzes phosphorylation of STAT3 at 'Tyr-705' and histone H3 at 'Thr-11' (H3T11ph), leading to activate transcription (PubMed:22306293, PubMed:22901803, PubMed:24120661). Its ability to activate transcription plays a role in cancer cells by promoting cell proliferation and promote tumorigenesis (PubMed:18337823, PubMed:22901803, PubMed:26787900). Promotes the expression of the immune checkpoint protein CD274 in BMAL1-deficient macrophages (By similarity). May also act as a translation regulator for a subset of mRNAs, independently of its pyruvate kinase activity: associates with subpools of endoplasmic reticulum-associated ribosomes, binds directly to the mRNAs translated at the endoplasmic reticulum and promotes translation of these endoplasmic reticulum-destined mRNAs (By similarity). Plays a role in caspase independent cell death of tumor cells (PubMed:17308100). Isoform M1. Pyruvate kinase isoform expressed in adult tissues, which replaces isoform M2 after birth (PubMed:18337823). In contrast to isoform M2, has high pyruvate kinase activity by itself and does not require allosteric activation by D-fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) for activity (PubMed:20847263).

Activity summary

PKM also known as pyruvate kinase muscle isozyme (PKM) and PEP is an enzyme that plays an important role in glycolysis by catalysing the conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to pyruvate yielding ATP in the process. The PKM protein has two isoforms PKM1 and PKM2 which result from alternative splicing of the PKM gene. The mass of PKM2 the more studied isoform is approximately 58 kDa. PKM is expressed in various tissues prominently in skeletal muscle heart brain and many tumor cells. Additionally PKM has significant activity in rapidly proliferating cells suggesting its importance in high-energy demanding environments.

Biological function summary

PKM functions not only in catalyzing the last step of glycolysis but also regulates metabolic and transcriptional processes. Specifically PKM2 is a participant in the regulation of gene expression and cellular response to oxidative stress and nutrient availability. It can exist as a dimer or tetramer with the latter being the more active form in glycolytic pathways while the dimeric form can translocate to the nucleus to perform functions unrelated to its glycolytic activity. These transformations make PKM part of a dynamic complex that responds to various cellular signals.

Pathways

PKM integrates into essential metabolic pathways including the glycolytic pathway and influences the pentose phosphate pathway. It works in conjunction with phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK1) another key glycolytic enzyme synchronizing the energy production process in cells. PKM2's non-metabolic roles involve interactions in signaling pathways related to cellular proliferation and survival often interacting with and modulating proteins like HIF-1α which plays a central role in cellular responses to hypoxia.

Associated diseases and disorders

PKM2 shows strong connections to cancer and metabolic diseases. Tumor cells often exhibit a shift in expression from PKM1 to PKM2 facilitating the altered metabolism known as the Warburg effect characterized by increased aerobic glycolysis. Its interaction with HIF-1α promotes adaptation to low oxygen environments typical in tumorous growth. Furthermore PKM disruptions or aberrations contribute to metabolic disorders such as diabetes where altered glucose metabolism becomes evident. The protein's behavior in these disease conditions indicates potential targets for therapeutic intervention highlighting the importance of PKM in both normal physiology and pathology.
