Cell–cell heterogeneity in phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase biases early cell fate priming in Dictyostelium discoideum [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental BiologyGlucose metabolism is a key factor characterizing the cellular state during multicellular development. In metazoans, the metabolic state of undifferentiated cells correlates with growth/differentiation transition and cell fate determination. Notably, the

Lactobacillus acidophilus NS1 Reduces Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase Expression by Regulating HNF4α Transcriptional Activity [PDF]
Food Science of Animal Resources, 2017 Probiotics have been known to reduce high-fat diet (HFD)-induced metabolic diseases, such as obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. We recently observed that Lactobacillus acidophilus NS1 (LNS1), distinctly suppresses increase of blood glucose

Anionic Phospholipids Induce Conformational Changes in Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase to Increase Sensitivity to Cathepsin Proteases [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) is a cytosolic, homotetrameric enzyme that serves a variety of functions in plants, acting as the primary form of CO2 fixation in the C4 photosynthesis pathway (C4-PEPC).

Oligomerization and characteristics of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase in Synechococcus PCC 7002. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPc) is an essential enzyme in plants. A photosynthetic form is present both as dimer and tetramer in C4 and CAM metabolism. Additionally, non-photosynthetic PEPcs are also present. The single, non-photosynthetic PEPc of

The Regulation of Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase in Bryophyllum fedtschenkoi [PDF]
, 1991 Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) carboxylase is the primary CO2-fixing enzyme in plants which exhibit crassulacean acid metabolism. The activity of this enzyme is under the control of an endogenous circadian rhythm.

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021 Wild-type C. glutamicum ATCC 13032 is known to possess two enzymes with anaplerotic (C4-directed) carboxylation activity, namely phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPCx) and pyruvate carboxylase (PCx). On the other hand, C3-directed decarboxylation can be

The molecular mechanism of propionate-regulating gluconeogenesis in bovine hepatocytes [PDF]
Animal Bioscience, 2023 Objective Cows that are nursing get around 80% of their glucose from liver gluconeogenesis. Propionate, a significant precursor of liver gluconeogenesis, can regulate the key genes involved in hepatic gluconeogenesis expression, but its precise effects ...
