The erythrocyte enzyme activities in twenty-six cases of myelodysplastic syndromes were determined. There were remarkably abnormal levels in seven cases; namely, four cases showed increased hexokinase activity, three cases showed increased pyruvate kinase activity, and two cases showed increased adenosine deaminase activity. Among these, one case with elevated pyruvate kinase activity showed the novel expression of M2-type pyruvate kinase activity, in addition to the R-type pyruvate kinase activity normally found in erythrocytes. Southern blotting of peripheral leucocyte DNA revealed only an amplified PK-LR genome, which derived from the chromosomal abnormality of a 1;7 translocation. The mechanism responsible for switching M2-type to R-type during erythroid maturation was considered to be partially disrupted in this case.

D011770 Pyruvate Kinase ATP:pyruvate 2-O-phosphotransferase. A phosphotransferase that catalyzes reversibly the phosphorylation of pyruvate to phosphoenolpyruvate in the presence of ATP. It has four isozymes (L, R, M1, and M2). Deficiency of the enzyme results in hemolytic anemia. EC 2.7.1.40.
