FIGURE 1: The enzyme PGP/Pho13 eliminates glycolytic side products and allows parallel action of glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway.
Side activities of glycolytic enzymes are shown in blue; new metabolite repair activities in green and inhibitory interferences discovered or characterized in the paper of Collard and colleagues in red. 6PGDH, 6-P-gluconate dehydrogenase; PGK, phosphoglycerate kinase; 6PG-lactone, 6-P-gluconolactone; Ru5P, ribulose-5-P; BP, bisphospho; PFK-2, phosphofructokinase-2. Modified from [2].
