Erratum to: Drought tolerance and proteomics studies of transgenic wheat containing the maize C4 phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) gene [PDF]
Protoplasma, 2015 Enhancing drought tolerance of crops has been a great challenge in crop improvement. Here, we report the maize phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) gene was able to confer drought tolerance and increase grain yield in transgenic wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) plants.

Bacterial-type Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase (PEPC) Functions as a Catalytic and Regulatory Subunit of the Novel Class-2 PEPC Complex of Vascular Plants [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2009 Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) is a tightly regulated anaplerotic enzyme situated at a major branch point of the plant C metabolism. Two distinct oligomeric classes of PEPC occur in the triglyceride-rich endosperm of developing castor oil seeds (COS).

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.

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 ...

Biochemical relationship of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylases (PEPCs) from thermophilic archaea [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2006 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.

Environment Control in Biology, 2002 The in vivo sensitivity to inhibition by L-malate of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC, EC 4.1.1.31) in rapidly prepared crude extracts (within 2 min) was investigated for two CAM plants Kalanchoe pinnata and pineapple (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr. cv. Smooth-cayenne N67-10) . The phosphorylation process may not occur in pineapple PEPC.
