A Synthetic Facultative CAM‐Like Shuttle in C3 Rice Plants [PDF]
Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 13, April 3, 2025.This study utilizes gene editing and multigene stacking to design a facultative CAM‐like metabolic pathway that includes a stomatal regulation module, a carboxylation module, a decarboxylation module, and a malate transport module. A facultative CAM‐like metabolic pathway is created in C₃ rice, achieving compatibility between the C₃ cycle and the CAM ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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
