Cell-cell heterogeneity in phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase biases early cell fate priming in Dictyostelium discoideum. [PDF]

Front Cell Dev Biol
Glucose 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

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.

Biochemical relationship of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylases (PEPCs) from thermophilic archaea [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1997
An archaeal phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) was purified from an acidophilic extreme thermophile, Sulfolobus acidocaldarius. The native enzyme was a homotetramer of 260±20 kDa molecular mass composed of 60±5 kDa subunits. The enzyme appeared to have a temperature optimum of 90°C and a pH optimum of 8.0. The activity of S.

Convergent molecular evolution of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase gene family in C4 and crassulacean acid metabolism plants [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC), as the key enzyme in initial carbon fixation of C4and crassulacean acid mechanism (CAM) pathways, was thought to undergo convergent adaptive changes resulting in the convergent evolution of C4 and CAM ...

An in vitro Coupled Assay for PEPC with Control of Bicarbonate Concentration

Bio-Protocol, 2021
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) catalyzes a critical step in carbon metabolism in plants and bacteria, the irreversible reaction between bicarbonate and phosphoenolpyruvate to produce the C4 compound oxaloacetate.

Differential Expression, Tissue-Specific Distribution, and Posttranslational Controls of Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase

Plants, 2021
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) is a ubiquitous cytosolic enzyme, which is crucial for plant carbon metabolism. PEPC participates in photosynthesis by catalyzing the initial fixation of atmospheric CO2 and is abundant in both C4 and crassulacean ...

Light Regulation of the Photosynthetic Phospho enol pyruvate Carboxylase (PEPC) in Hydrilla verticillata [PDF]

Plant and Cell Physiology, 2006
The submersed monocot, Hydrilla verticillata (L.f.) Royle, is a facultative C(4) NADP-malic enzyme (NADP-ME) plant in which the C(4) and Calvin cycles co-exist in the same cell. Futile cycling is avoided by an intracellular separation of carboxylases between the cytosol and chloroplasts. Of the two sequenced H.
