Recombinant expression and functional analysis of a Chlamydomonas reinhardtii bacterial-type phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase gene fragment [PDF]
, 2013 To investigate the function of a bacterial-type phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC2) derived from photosynthetically-grown Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a fragment of the pepc2 gene was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli.

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

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).

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase kinase in higher plants
, 2002 Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPc) is a ubiquitous enzyme in higher plants. Several isoforms of PEPc exist in plants. They carry out a variety of roles including the anapleurotic role of re-supplying the tricarboxylic acid cycle with four- carbon intermediates that are depleted by aminoacid biosynthesis. PEPc is also involved in processes requiring

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase identified as a key enzyme in erythrocytic Plasmodium falciparum carbon metabolism. [PDF]
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)

Regulation of Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase Activity in Maize Leaves [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1987 The aim of this work was to investigate how light regulates the activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase in vivo in C(4) plants. The properties of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase were investigated in extracts which were rapidly prepared (in less than 30 seconds) from darkened and illuminated leaves of Zea mays. Illumination resulted in a significant

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 ...
