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.

Serine biosynthesis with one carbon catabolism represents a novel pathway for ATP generation in cells using alternative glycolysis with zero net ATP production [PDF]
, 2011 Recent experimental evidence indicates that some cancer cells have an alternative glycolysis pathway with net zero ATP production, implying that upregulation of glycolysis in these cells may not be related to the generation of ATP.

Minimizing acetate formation in E. coli fermentations [PDF]
, 2007 Escherichia coli remains the best established production organisms in industrial biotechnology. However, during aerobic fermentation runs at high growth rates, considerable amounts of acetate are accumulated as by-product.

Pyruvate Carboxylase in Rhodopseudomonas spheroides [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1969 SUMMARY: Unlike some other photosynthetic bacteria, Rhodopseudomonas spheroides directly carboxylates pyruvate in a reaction catalysed by a pyruvate carboxylase (E.C. 6·4.1·1). A partially purified preparation of the enzyme was acetylCoA-dependent. No phosphoenolpyruvate synthetase or phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase activity was detected in extracts of

The Urea Carboxylase and Allophanate Hydrolase Activities of Urea Amidolyase Are Functionally Independent [PDF]
, 2016 Urea amidolyase (UAL) is a multifunctional biotin-dependent enzyme that contributes to both bacterial and fungal pathogenicity by catalyzing the ATP-dependent cleavage of urea into ammonia and CO2.

Pre-hybridisation: an efficient way of suppressing endogenous biotin-binding activity inherent to biotin–streptavidin detection system [PDF]
, 2014 Endogenous biotin or biotinylated protein binding activity is a major drawback to biotin-avidin/streptavidin detection system. The avidin/streptavidin conjugate used to detect the complex of the biotinylated secondary antibody and the primary antibody ...
