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.

Expression Profiles of Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase and Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase Kinase Genes in Phalaenopsis, Implications for Regulating the Performance of Crassulacean Acid Metabolism

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Phalaenopsis is one of the most important potted plants in the ornamental market of the world. Previous reports implied that crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) orchids at their young seedling stages might perform C3 or weak CAM photosynthetic pathways ...

Bacterial-type Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase (PEPC) Functions as a Catalytic and Regulatory Subunit of the Novel Class-2 PEPC Complex of Vascular Plants [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2009
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) is a tightly regulated anaplerotic enzyme situated at a major branch point of the plant C metabolism. Two distinct oligomeric classes of PEPC occur in the triglyceride-rich endosperm of developing castor oil seeds (COS).

The Original Form of C4-Photosynthetic Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase Is Retained in Pooids but Lost in Rice

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Poaceae is the most prominent monocot family that contains the primary cereal crops wheat, rice, and maize. These cereal species exhibit physiological diversity, such as different photosynthetic systems and environmental stress tolerance ...

Prokaryotic Expression of Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase Fragments from Peanut and Analysis of Osmotic Stress Tolerance of Recombinant Strains

Plants, 2021
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) is a ubiquitous cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the irreversible β-carboxylation of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) in presence of HCO3− to produce oxaloacetate (OAA) during carbon fixation and photosynthesis.

Effect of salicylic acid pretreatment on cadmium toxicity in wheat

Biologia Plantarum, 2010
Cadmium (100, 400 and 1000 μM CdCl2) treatments resulted in the inhibition of root dry biomass, root elongation and increased Cd accumulation in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) roots.

Silencing of SbPPCK1-3 Negatively Affects Development, Stress Responses and Productivity in Sorghum

Plants, 2023
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) plays central roles in photosynthesis, respiration, amino acid synthesis, and seed development. PEPC is regulated by different post-translational modifications.

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase identified as a key enzyme in erythrocytic Plasmodium falciparum carbon metabolism.

PLoS Pathogens, 2014
Phospoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) is absent from humans but encoded in the Plasmodium falciparum genome, suggesting that PEPC has a parasite-specific function. To investigate its importance in P. falciparum, we generated a pepc null mutant (D10(Δpepc)
