General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
malfunction | overexpression of wild-type PKM2 increases H3K9 acetylation at the CYP1A1 enhancer, whereas overexpression of the PKM2K367M mutant fails to do so, indicating that efficient histone acetylation at the CYP1A1 enhancer requires the pyruvate kinase activity of PKM2 | Homo sapiens |
metabolism | pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) and pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) regulate production of acetyl-CoA, which functions as an acetyl donor in diverse enzymatic reactions, including histone acetylation. PKM2, the E2 subunit of PDC and histone acetyltransferase p300 constitute a complex on chromatin with arylhydrocarbon receptor (AhR), a transcription factor associated with xenobiotic metabolism. All of these factors are recruited to the enhancer of AhR-target genes, in an AhR-dependent manner | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | PKM2 is recruited to gene enhancers of the AhR-target genes in an AhR-dependent manner and promotes AhR transactivation. Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) and pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) regulate production of acetyl-CoA, which functions as an acetyl donor in diverse enzymatic reactions, including histone acetylation. PKM2, the E2 subunit of PDC and histone acetyltransferase p300 constitute a complex on chromatin with arylhydrocarbon receptor (AhR), a transcription factor associated with xenobiotic metabolism. All of these factors, also PKM2, are recruited to the enhancer of AhR-target genes, in an AhR-dependent manner. PKM2 contributes to enhancement of transcription of cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1), an AhR-target gene, acetylation at lysine 9 of histone H3 at the CYP1A1 enhancer. A local acetyl-CoA production system is proposed in which PKM2 and PDC locally supply acetyl-CoA to p300 from abundant PEP for histone acetylation at the gene enhancer. PKM2 sensitizes AhR-mediated detoxification in actively proliferating cells such as cancer and fetal cells | Homo sapiens |
