(A,B) Schematic representations of part of glycolysis (A) and the reaction catalysed by phosphoglycerate mutase in the absence or presence of phosphoglycolate (B). (C,D) The ratios of 3-P-glycerate/2-P-glycerate concentrations (C) and phosphoglycolate concentrations (D) were assessed in parental HCT116 cells or in a PGP knockout clone expressing (or not) the 2,3-BPG-independent phosphoglycerate mutase, gpmI, from Escherichia coli. Values represent the mean ± s.e.m. of four independent experiments and are presented normalized to total ion current in arbitrary units. Asterisks indicate P < 0.05 in post hoc t-test analysis corrected for multiple testing.
