Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase

An enzyme with high affinity for carbon dioxide. It catalyzes irreversibly the formation of oxaloacetate from phosphoenolpyruvate and carbon dioxide. This fixation of carbon dioxide in several bacteria and some plants is the first step in the biosynthesis of glucose. EC 4.1.1.31.

1.	Starvation 07/01/2007 - "The present study has shown that PPCK genes are rapidly induced by P(i) starvation leading to increased phosphorylation of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase. " 08/01/1994 - "To study the regulation of gene expression for enzymes in the C4 photosynthetic pathway of maize (Zea mays L.) in response to changing N status in developing photosynthetic cells, we have studied in vitro transcription of the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) gene in leaf nuclei isolated from plants during recovery from N starvation. " 11/01/2000 - "Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPCase) activity was investigated in cucumber roots grown under iron starvation. " 07/01/2000 - "Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) specific activity increased by 250% following 8 to 10 days of Pi starvation of Brassica napus suspension cells. " 06/01/1973 - "Re-feeding starved animals decreases this relative rate of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase synthesis to 0.2% and 1% respectively in liver and adipose tissue, and the activity of the enzyme in each tissue is decreased to 25% of the starvation value. "
2.	Dehydration (Water Stress) 10/01/2005 - "Also it increased phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPc) and N and K concentrations of the twigs<3. Water stress decreased gas exchange rates, predawn needle water potential (PsiPd), C/N ratio, twigs<3 Ca, plant growth, aerial biomass and increased N, twigs with a diameter above 3 mm P and Mg concentrations. " 01/01/1974 - "[Effect of water stress on phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase activity in Mesembryanthemum crystallinum (L.)]." 01/01/2008 - "Further physiological studies indicated increased night-time CO(2) uptake with imposition of water stress, associated with a large diurnal acid fluctuation and a marked increased phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase activity. " 04/01/2003 - "Regulation of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase in Pinus halepensis needles submitted to ozone and water stress." 08/01/1992 - "Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPCase), the key enzyme of Crassulacean acid metabolism, is induced by water stress in leaves of Mesembryanthemum crystallinum. "
3.	Iron Deficiencies 11/01/2000 - "Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) roots under iron deficiency: activity and kinetic characterization." 04/01/1975 - "Malic enzyme was less affected, and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase activity remained high even under severe iron deficiency. " 03/15/2011 - "Iron deficiency increased root sucrose, total organic and amino acid concentrations and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase activity. " 08/01/2011 - "In the present study, the effect of iron deficiency on the activity of some proteins involved in Strategy I response, such as Fe-chelate reductase (FC-R), H(+)-ATPase, and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) and the protein level of iron regulated transporter (IRT1) and H(+)-ATPase proteins has been investigated in both roots and nodules of a tolerant (Flamingo) and a susceptible (Coco blanc) cultivar of common bean plants. "
4.	Disease Resistance 12/19/2019 - "Based upon the conjoint analysis of DAPs with the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) previously published among three germination stages in two LPA mutants, 30 shared DAPs/DEGs were identified with different patterns, including plant seed protein, beta-amylase, protein disulfide-isomerase, disease resistance protein, pyrophosphate-fructose 6-phosphate 1-phosphotransferase, cysteine proteinase inhibitor, non-specific lipid-transfer protein, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase and acyl-coenzyme A oxidase. "
5.	Tetraploidy 09/01/2012 - "We examined evolutionary mechanisms in the tetraploid Elymus caninus by comparing the phylogenetic relationships of 21 accessions suggested by sequence data from two single copy nuclear genes, the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (RPB2) and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (pepC), and one non-coding chloroplast region, TrnD/T.
