Description

Biochemical Characterization of PGAM1 in Mice

PGAM1 is a dimeric enzyme that exists in isoforms (e.g., brain (BB), muscle (MM), and hybrid (MB) forms) and is essential for glycolysis. Key biochemical features include:

ParameterDetailsSource
Catalytic FunctionReversible conversion of 3-PG to 2-PG in glycolysis.
IsoformsTissue-specific expression (e.g., brain vs. muscle isoforms).
Post-Translational RoleInteracts with 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-BPG) to modulate activity.
Enzyme Activity>150 units/mg (specific activity in recombinant mouse PGAM1).

Recombinant PGAM1 proteins (e.g., His-tagged versions expressed in E. coli) are widely used in biochemical assays to study glycolytic flux and metabolic reprogramming .

Genetic Models of Pgam1 in Mice

Genetic knockout (KO) and heterozygous (Pgam1+/−) models have revealed PGAM1’s essential role in development and metabolism.

Table 1: Genetic Models of Pgam1 in Mice

GenotypePhenotypeKey FindingsSource
Homozygous KOEmbryonic lethality.No viable Pgam1−/− mice survive beyond embryonic stages.
Heterozygous KOViable, with 50% reduction in Pgam1 mRNA and enzymatic activity.Normal glucose tolerance; no significant changes in Pgam2 expression.
T Cell-SpecificImpaired T cell proliferation, differentiation, and immune responses.Reduced glycolytic intermediates and TCA cycle metabolites in CD8+ T cells.

Immune Function

PGAM1 is critical for T cell activation. Pgam1 deletion in T cells leads to:

  • Reduced glycolysis: Impaired conversion of 3-PG to 2-PG, limiting energy production during activation .

  • Impaired differentiation: Defective Th1/Th17 responses, as seen in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) models .

  • Diminished inflammation: Reduced eosinophil/neutrophil infiltration in allergic airway inflammation models .

Reproductive Biology

In Sertoli cells (SCs), PGAM1 regulates spermatogonial stem cell (SSC) fate:

  • PGAM1 overexpression: Upregulates genes promoting SSC proliferation.

  • PGAM1 knockdown: Downregulates proliferation genes, favoring differentiation .

Neuroprotection

PGAM1 protects against ischemic injury:

  • Tat-PGAM1 treatment: Reduces neuronal death, oxidative stress, and microglial activation in spinal cord ischemia models .

Cancer Metabolism

PGAM1 overexpression correlates with aggressive tumors (e.g., uveal melanoma):

  • Mechanisms:

    • Promotes glycolysis and serine synthesis.

    • Interacts with PD-L1, Bcl-2, and Snail to regulate immune evasion, apoptosis, and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) .

  • Therapeutic Target: PGAM1 inhibition may suppress tumor growth and metastasis .

Metabolic Disorders

Heterozygous Pgam1+/− mice exhibit:

  • Normal glucose tolerance: Despite 50% reduced PGAM1 activity .

  • No significant lipid or protein abnormalities: Suggesting compensatory metabolic pathways .

Introduction
PGAM1, a member of the phosphoglycerate mutase family, plays a crucial role in glucose and 2,3-BPGA (2,3-bisphosphoglycerate) metabolism. It catalyzes the reversible conversion of 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA) to 2-phosphoglycerate (2-PGA) within the glycolytic pathway. This dimeric enzyme exists in different isoforms depending on the tissue, including a slow-migrating muscle (MM) isozyme, a fast-migrating brain (BB) isozyme, and a hybrid form (MB). Mutations in PGAM1 can lead to muscle phosphoglycerate mutase deficiency, also known as glycogen storage disease X.
Description
Recombinant PGAM1 Mouse, produced in E.coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain consisting of 278 amino acids (1-254) with a molecular mass of 31.4kDa. This protein is fused to a 24 amino acid His-tag at the N-terminus and purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
Clear, colorless, and sterile-filtered solution.
Formulation
The PGAM1 solution is provided at a concentration of 1mg/ml in a buffer containing 20mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 20% glycerol, 0.1M NaCl, and 1mM DTT.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), keep at 4°C. For extended storage, freeze at -20°C. Adding a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is recommended for long-term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Purity is determined to be greater than 95% by SDS-PAGE analysis.
