X Abstract

An interaction between the Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein kinase Mck1 and pyruvate kinase (Pyk1) was detected by using the two-hybrid method. Purified Mck1 was able to phosphorylate purified Pyk1 on Ser in vitro. Pyruvate kinase activity was elevated in mck1 delta cells. Several of the phenotypes of mck1 delta mutants are similar to those observed in cells overexpressing PYK1. Co-overexpression of MCK1 suppressed all of the phenotypes associated with PYK1 overexpression. These results indicate that Mck1 negatively regulates pyruvate kinase activity, possibly by direct phosphorylation.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
