INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	binding HDAC1, in the outer mitochondrial membrane (VDAC1-based peptides interfering with HK-mediated anti-apoptotic activity may potentiate the efficacy of conventional chemotherapeutic agents)(Arzoine 2009)
	mitochondrial hexokinase I (HK1) is a novel PRKN substrate
	PRKN-mediated HK1 degradation may inhibit glycolysis, and consequently Parkin’s mitochondriallocalization is hindered, suggesting HK1 functions as a negative feedback component
	in the presence of Ca2+, KCNIP3 interacts with HK1, a protein known to bind mitochondria and regulate apoptosis
	FUBP1 upregulates the mRNA levels of two hexokinase genes, HK1 and HK2
	direct, GTP-dependent interaction between KRAS and hexokinase 1 (HK1) that alters the activity of the kinase, and thereby establish that HK1 is an effector of KRAS
