A conserved phosphatase destroys toxic glycolytic side products in mammals and yeast

Authors:

Abstract
The glycolytic enzymes GAPDH and pyruvate kinase produce 4-phosphoerythronate and 2-phospho-L-lactate, which block metabolic flux. A newly identified conserved metabolic repair enzyme, phosphoglycolate phosphatase, eliminates these side products.
