Dopamine modification of glycolytic enzymes impairs glycolysis: possible implications for Parkinson's disease.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundParkinson's disease (PD), a chronic and severe neurodegenerative disease, is pathologically characterized by the selective loss of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons. Dopamine (DA), the neurotransmitter produced by dopaminergic neurons, and its metabolites can covalently modify proteins, and dysregulation of this process has been implicated in neuronal loss in PD. However, much remains unknown about the protein targets.
methodsIn the present work, we designed and synthesized a dopamine probe (DA-P) to screen and identify the potential protein targets of DA using activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) technology in combination with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). In situ pull-down assays, cellular thermal shift assays (CETSAs) and immunofluorescence were performed to confirm the DA modifications on these hits. To investigate the effects of DA modifications, we measured the enzymatic activities of these target proteins, evaluated glycolytic stress and mitochondrial respiration by Seahorse tests, and systematically analyzed the changes in metabolites with unbiased LC-MS/MS-based non-targeted metabolomics profiling.
resultsWe successfully identified three glycolytic proteins, aldolase A, α-enolase and pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2), as the binding partners of DA. DA bound to Glu166 of α-enolase, Cys49 and Cys424 of PKM2, and Lys230 of aldolase A, inhibiting the enzymatic activities of α-enolase and PKM2 and thereby impairing ATP synthesis, resulting in mitochondrial dysfunction.
conclusionsRecent research has revealed that enhancing glycolysis can offer protection against PD. The present study identified that the glycolytic pathway is vulnerable to disruption by DA, suggesting a promising avenue for potential therapeutic interventions. Safeguarding glycolysis against DA-related disruption could be a potential therapeutic intervention for PD.
