Gene Description

Phosphoglycerate kinase 1 is the enzyme that catalyzes the first ATP-generating (substrate-level phosphorylation) step of the glycolytic payoff phase, reversibly transferring a phosphate between 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate + ADP and 3-phosphoglycerate + ATP (EC 2.7.2.3); the reverse reaction operates in gluconeogenesis. It is a cytosolic, monomeric, Mg2+-dependent enzyme that is X-linked and ubiquitously expressed. Beyond glycolysis, PGK1 has documented moonlighting activities, including a secreted extracellular disulfide-reductase activity that liberates the angiogenesis inhibitor angiostatin from plasmin, and, under hypoxic or oncogenic conditions, a mitochondrially-translocated protein kinase activity that phosphorylates PDHK1 to suppress pyruvate oxidation and promote aerobic glycolysis (the Warburg effect). Loss-of-function variants cause phosphoglycerate kinase 1 deficiency, an X-linked disorder combining hemolytic anemia, myopathy (exercise intolerance and rhabdomyolysis) and central nervous system involvement.

Phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (PGK1), the first ATP-generating enzyme in the glycolytic pathway, catalyzes the transfer of the high-energy phosphate from the 1-position of 1,3-diphosphoglycerate (1,3-BPG) to ADP, which leads to the generation of 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PG) and ATP

ACCEPT
Summary: Sequence-similarity annotation (from UniProtKB:P00559) of ATP binding, the nucleotide substrate/product of the reaction.
Reason: ATP binding is intrinsic to the phosphoglycerate kinase reaction and is supported by kinetic and structural data; supports the core catalytic function.

Core Functions

Catalyzes the reversible, Mg2+-dependent transfer of a phosphate between 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate + ADP and 3-phosphoglycerate + ATP, the first ATP-generating step of the glycolytic payoff phase (and the reverse step in gluconeogenesis), acting in the cytosol.

    Phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (PGK1), the first ATP-generating enzyme in the glycolytic pathway, catalyzes the transfer of the high-energy phosphate from the 1-position of 1,3-diphosphoglycerate (1,3-BPG) to ADP, which leads to the generation of 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PG) and ATP
  • file:human/PGK1/PGK1-uniprot.txt
    PATHWAY: Carbohydrate degradation; glycolysis; pyruvate from D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate: step 2/5.

In the gluconeogenic direction, uses the reverse phosphoglycerate kinase reaction (3-phosphoglycerate + ATP -> 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate + ADP) to contribute to glucose biosynthesis in the cytosol.
