Identification and Analysis of PEPC Gene Family Reveals Functional Diversification in Orchidaceae and the Regulation of Bacterial-Type PEPC

International Journal of Molecular Sciences
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) gene family plays a crucial role in both plant growth and response to abiotic stress. Approximately half of the Orchidaceae species are estimated to perform CAM pathway, and the availability of sequenced orchid genomes makes them ideal subjects for investigating the PEPC gene family in CAM plants. In this study, a

An in vitro Coupled Assay for PEPC with Control of Bicarbonate Concentration

Bio-Protocol, 2021
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) catalyzes a critical step in carbon metabolism in plants and bacteria, the irreversible reaction between bicarbonate and phosphoenolpyruvate to produce the C4 compound oxaloacetate.

Convergent molecular evolution of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase gene family in C4 and crassulacean acid metabolism plants [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC), as the key enzyme in initial carbon fixation of C4and crassulacean acid mechanism (CAM) pathways, was thought to undergo convergent adaptive changes resulting in the convergent evolution of C4 and CAM ...

Conservation and Divergence of Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase Gene Family in Cotton

Plants, 2022
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) is an important enzyme in plants, which regulates carbon flow through the TCA cycle and controls protein and oil biosynthesis. Although it is important, there is little research on PEPC in cotton, the most important

Differential Expression, Tissue-Specific Distribution, and Posttranslational Controls of Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase

Plants, 2021
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) is a ubiquitous cytosolic enzyme, which is crucial for plant carbon metabolism. PEPC participates in photosynthesis by catalyzing the initial fixation of atmospheric CO2 and is abundant in both C4 and crassulacean ...

Manipulating PEPC levels in plants [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2002
This review examines the current understanding of the structural, functional and regulatory properties of C4 and C3 forms of higher plant phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase. The emphasis is on the interactive metabolic and post-translational controls acting on the enzyme in the physiological context of C4 photosynthesis and the anaplerotic pathway.

The impact of PEPC phosphorylation on growth and development of Arabidopsis thaliana: Molecular and physiological characterization of PEPC kinase mutants [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 2009
Two phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) kinase genes (PPCk1 and PPCk2) are present in the Arabidopsis genome; only PPCk1 is expressed in rosette leaves. Homozygous lines of two independent PPCk1 T‐DNA‐insertional mutants showed very little (dln1), or no (csi8) light‐induced PEPC phosphorylation and a clear retard in growth under our greenhouse ...

Characterization of the Lactobacillus helveticus CNRZ32 pepC gene [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1994
Sequence analysis of the aminopeptidase C gene (pepC) from Lactobacillus helveticus CNRZ32 identified a 1,332-nucleotide open reading frame coding for a polypeptide with motifs characteristic of cysteine proteinases. Homology to the pepC gene appears to be widely distributed among lactic acid bacteria.
