Animal DiseasesAbstractApicomplexan 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. Although the role of PEPC in plant and bacterial carbon fixation is well documented, its function within Babesia remains ...

Identification and expression analysis of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) and PEPC kinase genes in C3 plants [PDF]
, 2004 Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPc) is a cytosolic enzyme that plays a wide range of roles in different tissues of higher plants. A photosynthetic isoform of PEPc catalyses the primary fixation of CO2 in C4 and CAM plants.

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase kinase isoenzymes play an important role in the filling and quality of Arabidopsis thaliana seed [PDF]
, 2022 Three plant-type phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PPC1 to PPC3) and two phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase kinase (PPCKs: PPCK1 and 2) genes are present in the Arabidopsis thaliana genome. In seeds, all PPC genes were found to be expressed.

Oligomerization and characteristics of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase in Synechococcus PCC 7002
, 2020 Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPc) is an essential enzyme in plants. A photosynthetic form is present both as dimer and tetramer in C4 and CAM metabolism. Additionally, non-photosynthetic PEPcs are also present. The single, non-photosynthetic PEPc of

A Ca2+-dependent protein kinase phosphorylates phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase in maize [PDF]
, 1992 In C4 plants the activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC; EC 4.1.1.31) is regulated by phosphorylation/dephosphorylation which is mediated by light/dark signals.

Phosphorylation of C4 And Non-C4 Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase from Panicum and the Kinetic Behaviour of Phosphorylated and Non-Phosphorylated PEPC [PDF]
, 2019 The C4 photosynthesis pathway is more efficient than C3 photosynthesis due to the capability of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) that provides a CO2 high concentration at Rubisco, thus reducing the photorespiration rate.

Expression Profiles of Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase and Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase Kinase Genes in Phalaenopsis, Implications for Regulating the Performance of Crassulacean Acid Metabolism [PDF]
, 2018 Phalaenopsis is one of the most important potted plants in the ornamental market of the world. Previous reports implied that crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) orchids at their young seedling stages might perform C3 or weak CAM photosynthetic pathways ...

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) in extracts of neisseria gonorrhoeae. [PDF]
, 1975 The enzymatic carboxylation of phosphoenolpyruvate by cell free extracts of Neisseria gonorrhoeae was examined and determined to be similar to the reaction catalysed by phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC).
