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.

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.

IntAct-curated physical interaction (BioPlex AP-MS interactome) of ENO3 with ENO1

uninformative generic term protein binding.
action: MARK_AS_OVER_ANNOTATED
reason: >-
Bare "protein binding" (GO:0005515) is uninformative and per curation guidelines
should not be treated as a core function. The biologically meaningful content - the
ENO1-ENO3 (alpha/beta) association - is properly represented by GO:0000015
phosphopyruvate hydratase complex. The interaction itself is a real, high-throughput
AP-MS observation, so it is not removed, only flagged as over-annotation.

As for the BioPlex IPI, bare "protein binding" is uninformative; the ENO1-ENO3
interaction is captured more specifically by GO:0000015 phosphopyruvate hydratase

Enolase is a well-known moonlighting cell-surface protein in several isozymes, so a

"Membrane" (GO:0016020) is a very general cellular-component term and does not
