Structure-Function Studies on Two Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylases
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (Pepc) are two important CO₂-fixation enzymes which share a similar reaction mechanism. Both operate through a lid-gated active site and have a hypothesized enol-pyruvate intermediate in their catalytic pathway. While …

Application of metabolic and biochemical engineering techniques to enhance metabolic flux throughput and improve succinate production in Escherichia coli
… of the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) enzyme system coupled with pathway manipulations and use of different carbon sources. Incorporation of the glcU gene from Staphylococcus xylosus encoding a novel glucose uptake protein resulted in enhancement of metabolic flux throughput in E. …

Measuring the Effects of a Step Change in the EPC Process
… The result was a step change entitled PEpC (Procure, Engineer, procure, and Construct). This research also sought to provide implementation guidelines for the recommended step change. Through an examination of the literature, a survey of industry experts, and the review of four case …

Influencia de la asimilación de nitrógeno y el estrés salino sobre la capacidad fotosintética en cebada
… y disminuye la sensibilidad a malato de la pepc, indicando un aumento en la capacidad fotosintética por estimulación del flujo de carbono hacia la vía glucolítica. 3) el cultivo en amonio o nitrato amonico como fuente de n aumenta la fijación de co2, respecto al cultivo con nitrato. Las …

Water relations, carbon fixation and growth rates of two leaf succulent species under different water regimes
… which indicated the activity of RuBPc and PEPc. R.carolii had higher photosynthetic and growth rates than R.multiflora under optimal conditions. This explained the dominance of R.carolii on the South facing, protected slope. Under moderate water stress, the species behaved similarly. There …

Metabolic network design and engineering in Escherichia coli
… pantothenate kinase to enhance the activity of PEPC and PYC in order to improve succinate production. Novel metabolic networks were designed and constructed to enable E. coli to produce succinate as a product under complete aerobic conditions. Since this is naturally not possible, extensive …

Physiology Characterization of Nitrogen Use in Maize: Opportunities for Improvement
… within each specific objective suggest that: (1) PEPc may serve as a storage sink for excess leaf N, and that a better allocation of N into Rubisco could improve maize photosynthesis, (2) No hybrid (commercial or experimental) was optimized for both N uptake and N utilization which suggests room …

Systems analysis of Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) physiology and molecular biology
… regulators of key CAM genes, for example, PEPCarboxylase (PEPC), PEPCkinase (PPCK), pyruvate orthophosphate dikinase (PPDK), and pyruvate orthophosphate dikinase regulatory protein (PPDK-RP). Overall, the Gene Regulatory Network Inference provided the ranking of the potential …

PHYSIOLOGICAL STUDIES USING TISSUE CULTURES OF PLATYCERIUM CORONARIUM (KOENIG) DESV
… in biomass and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) activity but a decrease in total chlorophyll content, autofluorescence of chloroplasts, chlorophyll fluorescence and RuBPC activity as compared to the control (0.03% CO2). Short-term Na14HCO3 fixation indicated that a high ratio of 14C was in …
