Biochemical characterization of the mouse muscle-specific enolase: developmental changes in electrophoretic variants and selective binding to other proteins

Abstract: The glycolytic enzyme enolase (EC 4.2.1.11) is active as dimers formed from three subunits encoded by different genes. The embryonic αα isoform remains distributed in many adult cell types, whereas a transition towards ββ and γγ isoforms occurs in striated muscle cells and neurons respectively. It is not understood why enolase exhibits tissue-specific isoforms with very close functional properties. We approached this problem by the purification of native ββ-enolase from mouse hindlimb muscles and by raising sp… Show more

“…In the same way, the observed association of PGM with cytoskeleton in neutrophils may have been due to hereby employed experimental design which involved a phagocytic stimulus. Our result is consistent with the previous report indicating that glycolytic enzymes enolase, aldolase, creatine kinase, pyruvate kinase, and PGM form a complex in rabbit muscle [37]. Thereby, association of PGM with the cytoskeleton may be mediated through other members of this enzyme multiprotein complex such as pyruvate kinase and enolase, whose ability to associate with cytoskeleton is well known [35,36].…”

“…For the ␤-enolase, two different isoforms have been identified on 2D gels. These two isoforms do not correspond to different phosphorylated forms, but are due to the presence or the absence of a C-terminal lysine (40); nevertheless, these two isoforms are both O-linked N-acetylglucosaminylated.…”

“…Most glycolytic enzymes, including PGAM, exist in complexes bound to the microtubule network (26,27). The GTPases Rac and Cdc42 regulate not only F-actin reorganization but also microtubule dynamics through Pak, which phosphorylates and thereby inhibits the microtubule-destabilizing protein stathmin, leading to microtubule stabilization (28).…”
