citrate at 2 mM inhibits GST-tagged PfPYK activity by over 90%, citrate slightly decreases the affinity for the PEP substrate, with no obvious change in the apparent kcat
G6P, an activator increasing the apparent maximal velocity of isozyme PYK-I, 1.5fold activation at 5 mM without affecting the affinity and cooperativity towards the PEP substrate. The binding of glucose 6-phosphate and oxalate, which potentially lock the enzyme in its active state, increase the thermal stability of the enzyme. PfPYK might be a V-type allosteric enzyme with respect to G6P. In silico docking of the activator G6P to the canonical effector site, the phosphate group of G6P forms a number of favorable interactions with the PO4-2 motif
comparisons of isozyme PYK-I structures in the active R-state and inactive T-state reveal a rock-and-lock allosteric mechanism regulated by rigid-body rotations of each subunit in the tetramer. It is likely that the GST-tag on the recombinant enzyme partially hinders or affects conformational changes occurring in the PfPYK-I tetramer, which are crucial for allosteric regulation. Structure-function analysis, overview
