Background: PKLR

Pyruvate kinases (PK) are glycolytic enzymes that catalyze the transfer of a phosphoryl group from phosphoenolpyruvate to ADP, generating ATP, the final step in the glycolysis pathway (1, 2). There are 4 isozymes of pyruvate kinase in mammals: L, R, M1 and M2. L type is the major isozyme in the liver, R is found in red cells, M1 is the main form in muscle, heart and brain, and M2 is found in early fetal tissues. R and L types are encoded in a same gene and caused by different splicing (3). The 33 amino acids from the N-terminus in the R type are placed with Met and Glu in the L type. PKLR is allosterically activated by fructose
1,6-bisphosphate (4). Mutation of PKLR is a frequent cause of hereditary non-spherocytic hemolytic anemia (5-8).
