Bio-Protocol, 2014 A recent study demonstrated that cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) and NADP-malic enzyme (NADP-ME) have an important role in malate metabolism during fruit ripening (Osorio et al., 2013). PEPCK catalyze the ATP-dependent decarboxylation

Molecular basis and biological relevance of bacterial and plant pinoresinol/lariciresinol reductase specificities. [PDF]
Protein SciAbstract A bacterial pinoresinol/lariciresinol reductase (PLR) homolog named NrPinZ was obtained from a Novosphingobium rhizosphaerae sp. LY bacterial strain, with NrPinZ being part of its 5‐step biochemical system catabolizing pinoresinol into coniferyl aldehyde and vanillin.

Crassulacean acid metabolism in the Gesneriaceae [PDF]
, 1986 The occurrence of the Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) was studied in four epiphytic species of the Gesneriaceae: two neotropical species, Codonanthe crassifolia and Columnea linearis, and two paleotropical species, Aoschynanthus pulcher and ...

Cytosolic NADP-isocitrate dehydrogenase in Arabidopsis leaves and roots
Biologia Plantarum, 2012 NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP-ICDH) catalyses the production of NADPH, which is an essential component in the cellular homeostasis. In Arabidopsis, the kinetic parameters (K m and V max) of cytosolic NADP-ICDH were different in leaves and

Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase Is Involved in the Decarboxylation of Aspartate in the Bundle Sheath of Maize [PDF]
, 1999 We recently showed that maize (Zea mays L.) leaves contain appreciable amounts of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK; R.P. Walker, R.M. Acheson, L.I. Técsi, R.C. Leegood [1997] Aust J Plant Physiol 24: 459–468).

Direct stimulation of NADP+ synthesis through Akt-mediated phosphorylation of NAD kinase
Science, 2019 Akt produces reducing power The protein kinase Akt provides a link from growth factors to the production of metabolic reducing power within the cell. Hoxhaj et al. discovered that Akt directly phosphorylates nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide kinase (NADK)

Evidence of the indirect hormonal activity of prohormones using liver S9 metabolic bioactivation and an androgen bioassay [PDF]
, 2008 Prohormones such as dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) are steroid precursors that do not show hormonal activity by themselves. Abuse of these prohormones in cattle fattening is hard to prove because of strong in vivo metabolism and the difficulty to detect ...
