Characterization and Expression Analysis of Genes Encoding Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase and Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase Kinase of Lotus japonicus, a Model Legume

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2003
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylases (PEPCs), one form of which in each legume species plays a central role in the carbon metabolism in symbiotic root nodules, are activated through phosphorylation of a conserved residue by a specific protein kinase (PEPC-PK)

Cooling effect of fungal stromata in the Dactylis-Epichloë-Botanophila symbiosis

Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2021
The stromata of Epichloë fungi are structures covering part of the stem of grasses. Under the fungal layer, still green tissues of the plant survive, although the development of the new leaves is inhibited.

Phenotypic landscape inference reveals multiple evolutionary paths to C$_4$ photosynthesis [PDF]

, 2013
C$_4$ photosynthesis has independently evolved from the ancestral C$_3$ pathway in at least 60 plant lineages, but, as with other complex traits, how it evolved is unclear.

Genome-Wide Identification and Analysis of the Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase Gene Family in Suaeda aralocaspica, an Annual Halophyte With Single-Cellular C4 Anatomy

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) plays pivotal roles in the carbon fixation of photosynthesis and a variety of metabolic and stress pathways. Suaeda aralocaspica belongs to a single-cellular C4 species and carries out a photosynthetic pathway in an

Regulatory Properties of Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase in Crassulacean Acid Metabolism Plants: Diurnal Changes in Phosphorylation State and Regulation of Gene Expression

Plant Production Science, 2007
Regulatory properties of Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC, EC 4.1.1.31) in three CAM species, Kalanchoë pinnata, K. daigremontiana and Ananas comosus (pineapple) were examined.

Host reticulocytes provide metabolic reservoirs that can be exploited by malaria parasites [PDF]

, 2015
Human malaria parasites proliferate in different erythroid cell types during infection. Whilst Plasmodium vivax exhibits a strong preference for immature reticulocytes, the more pathogenic P. falciparum primarily infects mature erythrocytes.

Photosynthesis and antioxidative defense mechanisms in deciphering drought stress tolerance of crop plants

Biologia Plantarum, 2016
Crop plants are regularly exposed to an array of abiotic and biotic stresses, among them drought stress is a major environmental factor that shows adverse effects on plant growth and productivity. Because of this these factors are considered as hazardous

Low irradiance alters carbon metabolism and delays flower stalk development in two orchids

Biologia Plantarum, 2013
In Phalaenopsis, lowering irradiance has been used to delay flower stalk development but the accompanying biochemical changes remain poorly understood. We cultured two commercial Phalaenopsis-type orchids, Phalaenopsis cv.

Multiple-Peptidase Mutants of Lactococcus lactis Are Severely Impaired in Their Ability To Grow in Milk [PDF]

, 1996
To examine the contribution of peptidases to the growth of Lactococcus lactis in milk, 16 single- and multiple-deletion mutants were constructed. In successive rounds of chromosomal gene replacement mutagenesis, up to all five of the following peptidase ...

Characterization of bacterial-type phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase expressed in male gametophyte of higher plants

BMC Plant Biology, 2010
Background Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) is a critical enzyme catalyzing the β-carboxylation of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to oxaloacetate, a tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediate.
