Citrullination of pyruvate kinase M2 by PADI1 and PADI3 regulates glycolysis and cancer cell proliferation

Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) activity is regulated by the availability of metabolic intermediates for nucleotide and amino acid synthesis. Here, the authors show that PKM2 citrullination by PADI1 and PADI3 lowers its sensitivity to metabolic inhibitors leading to increased glycolysis and reduced cancer...
