Disease relevance of ppc

  • This fragment was able to complement the E. coli ppc mutant and conferred PEP carboxylase activity to the mutant [1].
 

High impact information on ppc

  • Before the elucidation of the three-dimensional structures of maize C4 leaf and Escherichia coli PEPC, our truncation analysis of the sorghum C4 homologue revealed important roles for the enzyme's C-terminal alpha-helix and its appended QNTG961 tetrapeptide in polypeptide stability and overall catalysis, respectively [2].
  • We have now more finely dissected this element of PEPC structure-function by modification of the absolutely conserved C-terminal glycine of the sorghum C4 isoform by site-specific mutagenesis (G961(A/V/D)) and truncation (DeltaC1/C4) [2].
  • The importance of the strictly conserved, C-terminal glycine residue in phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase for overall catalysis: mutagenesis and truncation of GLY-961 in the sorghum C4 leaf isoform [2].
  • Although the C4 polypeptide failed to accumulate in a PEPC- strain (XH11) of E. coli transformed with the Asp mutant, the other variants were produced at wild-type levels [2].
  • Collectively, these functional and structural observations implicate the importance of the PEPC C-terminal tetrapeptide for both catalysis and negative allosteric regulation [2].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of ppc

 

Biological context of ppc

 

Associations of ppc with chemical compounds

  • A similar dissociation constant was obtained by analysis of the competitive inhibition of the CmpA protein on the carboxylation of phosphoenolpyruvate by phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase at limiting concentrations of HCO(3)(-) [5].
  • Conformational change of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (orthophosphate: oxaloacetate carboxy-lyase (phosphorylating), EC 4.1.1.31) induced by allosteric effectors was investigated using a hydrophobic probe, 1-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonate (ANS) [6].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of ppc

  • Additionally, these DNAs yield segments, ordered from left to right, of length (in kilobases [kb]) determined by electron microscopy and 0.7% agarose slab gel electrophoresis as follows: lambdadarg13 (ppc argECBH bfe), 13.9, 2.8, 1.5, and 5.6; lambdadarg14 (ppc argECBH), 3.0, 2.0, 17.3, and 6.2; and lambdadarg23 (argECBH), 18.4 and 6 [7].
