Structure, Function and Regulation of a Second Pyruvate Kinase Isozyme in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) depends on the Entner-Doudoroff pathway (EDP) for glycolysis. The main enzymatic regulator in the lower half of the EDP is pyruvate kinase. PA contains genes that encode two isoforms of pyruvate kinase, denoted PykAPA and PykFPA. In other well-characterized organisms cont...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) depends on the Entner-Doudoroff pathway (EDP) for glycolysis. The main enzymatic regulator in the lower half of the EDP is pyruvate kinase. PA contains genes that encode two isoforms of pyruvate kinase, denoted PykAPA and PykFPA. In other well-characterized organisms containing two pyruvate kinase isoforms (such as Escherichia coli) each isozyme is differentially regulated. The structure, function and regulation of PykAPA has been previously characterized in detail, so in this work, we set out to assess the biochemical and structural properties of the PykFPA isozyme. We show that pykFPA expression is induced in the presence of the diureide, allantoin. In spite of their relatively low amino acid sequence identity, PykAPA and PykFPA display broadly comparable kinetic parameters, and are allosterically regulated by a very similar set of metabolites.
