Insights Into the Carboxyltransferase Reaction of Pyruvate Carboxylase From the Structures of Bound Product and Intermediate Analogs [PDF]

, 2013
Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) is a biotin-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the MgATP- and bicarbonate-dependent carboxylation of pyruvate to oxaloacetate, an important anaplerotic reaction in central metabolism.

Insect‐Derived Bioactives for Glycemic Control and Gut Health: A Review

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
Insect‐derived bioactive compounds (e.g., peptides, polysaccharides) effectively regulate blood glucose through dual mechanisms: directly inhibiting carbohydrate‐digesting enzymes and glucose transporters, and indirectly modulating gut microbiota to enhance intestinal barrier integrity.

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) is essential for the glycolytic pathway and parasite proliferation in Babesia gibsoni

Animal Diseases
Apicomplexan parasites predominantly generate ATP and lactic acid through glycolysis and anaerobic glucose metabolism, incorporating CO2 into glycolysis via a stage-dependent phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) mechanism.

Enhanced tolerance to drought in transgenic rice plants overexpressing C4 photosynthesis enzymes

Crop Journal, 2013
Maize-specific pyruvate orthophosphate dikinase (PPDK) was overexpressed in rice independently or in combination with the maize C4-specific phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PCK). The wild-type (WT) cultivar Kitaake and transgenic plants were evaluated in

Diurnal Regulation of Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase from Crassula [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 1985
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase appears to be located in or associated with the chloroplasts of Crassula. As has been found with this enzyme in other CAM plants, a crude extract of leaves gathered during darkness and rapidly assayed for phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPc) activity is relatively insensitive to inhibition by malate.

LC-MS proteomics analysis of the iInsulin/IGF-1-deficient Caenorhabditis elegans daf-2(e1370) mutant reveals extensive restructuring of intermediary metabolism [PDF]

, 2014
The insulin/IGF-1 receptor is a major known determinant of dauer formation, stress resistance, longevity, and metabolism in Caenorhabditis elegans. In the past, whole-genome transcript profiling was used extensively to study differential gene expression ...

Preharvest potassium silicate treatments influence the morphological appearance and enhance nutritional composition of almond kernels

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The almond industry requires new strategies to improve almond kernel quality. The use of biostimulants such as potassium silicate (KSi) is an eco‐friendly and non‐polluting alternative. The aim of this work was to investigate the preharvest application of KSi solutions at 2 and 20 mmol L−1 to ‘Peraleja’ almond trees during two ...

Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase from Spinach Leaf Tissue [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 1974
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (EC 4.1.1.31), partially purified from spinach (Spinacia oleracea) leaves, is inhibited by SO(3) (2-) ion. The inhibition is competitive or mixed type with respect to HCO(3) (-) (Ki = 17 mm), and noncompetitive with respect to phosphoenolpyruvic acid (Ki = 11 mm), Mg(2+) (Ki = 10 mm), and Mn(2+) (Ki = 2.4 mm).

Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase Is Involved in the Decarboxylation of Aspartate in the Bundle Sheath of Maize [PDF]

, 1999
We recently showed that maize (Zea mays L.) leaves contain appreciable amounts of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK; R.P. Walker, R.M. Acheson, L.I. Técsi, R.C. Leegood [1997] Aust J Plant Physiol 24: 459–468).

The return of metabolism: biochemistry and physiology of glycolysis

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glycolysis is a fundamental metabolic pathway central to the bioenergetics and physiology of virtually all living organisms. In this comprehensive review, we explore the intricate biochemical principles and evolutionary origins of glycolytic pathways, from the classical Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas (EMP) pathway in humans to various prokaryotic and ...
