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...
