Cloning and expression of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase from Escherichia coli
In order to better study the structure and function of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase gene is cloned and expressed by PCR (polymerase chain reaction), double enzyme digestion and cell transformation. The results show

Purification and characterization of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase from a cyanobacterium [PDF]
Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) carboxylase (EC 4.1.1.31) was purified 100-fold from the cyanobacterium Coccochloris peniocystis with a yield of 10%. A single isozyme was found at all stages of purification, and activity of other beta-carboxylase enzymes was ...

Effect of Nitrate and Ammonium Nutrition of Nonnodulated Phaseolus vulgaris L. on Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase and Pyruvate Kinase Activity [PDF]
Young bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L. var Saxa) were fed with 3.5 or 10 millimolar N in either the form of NO3− or NH4+, after being grown on N-free nutrient solution for 8 days. The pH of the nutrient solutions was either 6 or 4.

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)

Glucocorticoid exposure in late gestation permanently programs rat hepatic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and glucocorticoid receptor expression and causes glucose intolerance in adult offspring [PDF]
Low birth weight in humans is predictive of insulin resistance and diabetes in adult life. The molecular mechanisms underlying this link are unknown but fetal exposure to excess glucocorticoids has been implicated, The fetus is normally protected from ...

Effect of salicylic acid pretreatment on cadmium toxicity in wheat
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.

Evidence of coexistence of C₃ and C₄ photosynthetic pathways in a green-tide-forming alga, Ulva prolifera. [PDF]
Ulva prolifera, a typical green-tide-forming alga, can accumulate a large biomass in a relatively short time period, suggesting that photosynthesis in this organism, particularly its carbon fixation pathway, must be very efficient.

Abscisic acid as a factor in regulation of photosynthetic carbon metabolism of pea seedlings
The influence of abscisic acid (ABA) on carbon metabolism and the activity of ribulosebisphosphate (RuBP) and phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) carboxylases in 8-day-old pea seedlings was investigated.
