ABSTRACT
Pyruvate kinase (Pyk, EC 2.7.1.40) is a glycolytic enzyme that generates pyruvate and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP), respectively. Pyk couples pyruvate and tricarboxylic acid metabolisms. Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 possesses two pyk genes (encoded pyk1, sll0587 and pyk2, sll1275). A previous study suggested that pyk2 and not pyk1 is essential for cell viability; however, its biochemical analysis is yet to be performed. Herein, we biochemically analyzed Synechocystis Pyk2 (hereafter, SyPyk2). The optimum pH and temperature of SyPyk2 were 7.0 and 55 °C, respectively, and the Km values for PEP and ADP under optimal conditions were 1.5 and 0.053 mM, respectively. SyPyk2 is activated in the presence of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) and ribose-5-phosphate (R5P); however, it remains unaltered in the presence of adenosine monophosphate (AMP) or fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. These results indicate that SyPyk2 is classified as PykA type rather than PykF, stimulated by sugar monophosphates, such as G6P and R5P, but not by AMP. SyPyk2, considering substrate affinity and effectors, can play pivotal roles in sugar catabolism under nonphotosynthetic conditions.
