Gene Description

ENO3 encodes beta-enolase (muscle-specific enolase, MSE), the beta subunit of the glycolytic metalloenzyme enolase. It catalyses the penultimate step of glycolysis: the Mg2+-dependent, reversible dehydration of 2-phospho-D-glycerate (2-PG) to phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) plus water (EC 4.2.1.11); the reverse hydration reaction operates in gluconeogenesis. Mammalian enolase functions as a dimer assembled from three tissue-specific subunits - alpha (ENO1, ubiquitous), beta (ENO3, muscle) and gamma (ENO2, neuronal) - which form homodimers and heterodimers; in striated muscle ENO3 forms alpha/beta heterodimers and beta/beta homodimers. The enzyme acts in the cytosol, with an additional sarcomeric pool localized to the Z line and, by similarity, the M band. Loss-of-function ENO3 variants cause glycogen storage disease type XIII (GSD13, beta-enolase deficiency), a metabolic myopathy of distal glycolysis characterized by exercise-induced myalgia, muscle weakness and fatigability, raised serum creatine kinase, and focal sarcoplasmic glycogen accumulation.

IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: Phylogenetically-inferred (IBA) assignment of phosphopyruvate hydratase (enolase, EC 4.2.1.11) activity, the defining molecular function of the enolase family and the core catalytic function of ENO3. Beta-enolase converts 2-phosphoglycerate to phosphoenolpyruvate in glycolysis and the reverse in gluconeogenesis.
Reason: This is the core molecular function of ENO3, at the correct level of specificity, supported by UniProt, EC/RHEA mapping, ISS from mouse ortholog, and multiple TAS Reactome annotations. The IBA is well supported across the enolase orthology group.

Summary: Phylogenetically-inferred involvement in glycolysis. Enolase catalyses the ninth step of glycolysis (2-PG to PEP), a core biological process for ENO3.
Reason: Correct and core. ENO3 is a canonical glycolytic enzyme; the muscle beta-enolase supplies the high glycolytic flux of striated muscle. Supported by UniProt PATHWAY.

Summary: Phylogenetically-inferred assignment to the phosphopyruvate hydratase (enolase) complex - the catalytically active enolase dimer. ENO3 acts as a beta/beta homodimer or an alpha/beta heterodimer with ENO1.
Reason: Enolase is obligately dimeric and Mg2+ stabilizes the dimer; the complex term accurately captures ENO3's quaternary organization. This is where the informative content of the bare protein-binding IPIs (ENO1-ENO3) is properly represented.

Summary: InterPro2GO (IPR000941 Enolase) electronic assignment of magnesium ion binding. Mg2+ is the essential catalytic cofactor of enolase; the structure of P13929 has annotated Mg2+-binding residues (Ser-245, Asp-293, Asp-318).
Reason: Well supported. Mg2+ is required for catalysis and for stabilizing the enolase dimer, and UniProt lists explicit Mg2+ BINDING sites in ENO3. A genuine cofactor function; retained as core because catalysis is Mg2+-dependent.

ACCEPT
Summary: ARBA electronic assignment of involvement in gluconeogenesis. Enolase catalyses the reversible 2-PG/PEP interconversion; running in the hydration (PEP to 2-PG) direction, it participates in the gluconeogenic pathway.
Reason: Biologically correct - the enolase reaction is reversible and operates in both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, as stated explicitly in the UniProt FUNCTION line. Note that muscle is not a major gluconeogenic tissue, so this is a shared enzymatic capability rather than the dominant physiological role of ENO3, but the annotation is not wrong.

Summary: CAFA-sourced direct-assay annotation to the generic term membrane, from a study of cathepsin X cleavage of enolase. The cited paper concerns alpha- and gamma-enolase neuronal biology, not muscle beta-enolase.
Reason: "Membrane" (GO:0016020) is a very general cellular-component term and does not represent the core cytosolic localization of ENO3. The supporting paper studies alpha/gamma-enolase (neurotrophic, cell-surface enolase), so its relevance to muscle beta-enolase is peripheral.

Core biology

ENO3 is the beta (muscle-specific) isozyme of enolase, a cytosolic metalloenzyme
of the enolase superfamily. It catalyses the penultimate step of glycolysis:
the Mg2+-dependent, reversible dehydration of 2-phospho-D-glycerate (2-PG) to
phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) + H2O; the reverse hydration reaction operates in
gluconeogenesis.

  • EC 4.2.1.11; Rhea:RHEA:10164 (2R)-2-phosphoglycerate = phosphoenolpyruvate + H2O
    [file:human/ENO3/ENO3-uniprot.txt "Reaction=(2R)-2-phosphoglycerate = phosphoenolpyruvate + H2O"]
  • FUNCTION: "Enolase that catalyzes the conversion of 2-phosphoglycerate to
    phosphoenolpyruvate in glycolysis and the reverse reaction in gluconeogenesis.
    Appears to have a function in striated muscle development and regeneration."
    [file:human/ENO3/ENO3-uniprot.txt]
  • COFACTOR: "Mg(2+) is required for catalysis and for stabilizing the dimer."
    [file:human/ENO3/ENO3-uniprot.txt]
  • PATHWAY: "Carbohydrate degradation; glycolysis; pyruvate from D-glyceraldehyde
    3-phosphate: step 4/5." [file:human/ENO3/ENO3-uniprot.txt]

Isozymes / quaternary structure

Mammalian enolase is a dimer built from three tissue subunits: alpha (ENO1, ubiquitous),
beta (ENO3, muscle) and gamma (ENO2, neuronal). ENO3 forms alpha/beta heterodimers and
beta/beta homodimers in striated muscle.
[file:human/ENO3/ENO3-uniprot.txt "Mammalian enolase is composed of 3 isozyme subunits, alpha, beta and gamma"]
IntAct records the ENO1(P06733)-ENO3 interaction (the alpha/beta heterodimer).

Localization

  • SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm; "Localized to the Z line. Some colocalization with
    CKM at M-band (By similarity)." [file:human/ENO3/ENO3-uniprot.txt] So a sarcomeric
    (Z-line / M-band) pool exists in addition to the bulk cytosol.
  • HPA IDA: cytosol (GO:0005829) and plasma membrane (GO:0005886).
  • Various HDA/IDA extracellular/membrane detections (exosome, tear fluid, membrane)
    are proteomic surveys, not indicators of the enzyme's core catalytic role — glycolytic
    enzymes are commonly detected in secretomes/exosomes. Treated as over-annotations.

Disease

Glycogen storage disease type XIII (GSD13, MIM:612932), beta-enolase deficiency: a
metabolic myopathy of distal glycolysis; exercise-induced myalgias, generalized muscle
weakness/fatigability, increased serum creatine kinase, decreased ENO3 activity, focal
sarcoplasmic glycogen-beta accumulation. Caused by ENO3 variants (Asp-156, Glu-374 in
the seminal report). [file:human/ENO3/ENO3-uniprot.txt; PMID:11506403 (abstract not cached)]

      Phylogenetically-inferred assignment to the phosphopyruvate hydratase (enolase)

      Enolase is obligately dimeric and Mg2+ stabilizes the dimer; the complex term
      accurately captures ENO3's quaternary organization. This is where the informative
