Interference by phosphatases in the spectrophotometric assay for phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase.
The aim of this work was to discover the extent of interference by phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) phosphatase in spectrophotometric assays of PEP carboxylase (EC 4.1.1.31) in crude extracts of plant organs. The presence of PEP phosphatase and lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27) in extracts leads to PEP-dependent NADH oxidation that is independent of PEP carboxylase activity, and hence to overestimat...
متن کاملA simple and accurate spectrophotometric assay for phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase activity.
The rate of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase activity measured through the conventional coupled assay with malate dehydrogenase is underestimated due to the instability of oxaloacetate, which undergoes partial decarboxylation into pyruvate in the presence of metal ions. The addition of lactate dehydrogenase to the conventional assay allows the reduction of pyruvate formed from oxaloacetate to la...

Inhibition of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase by malate.
Malate has been noted to be a ;mixed' inhibitor of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) carboxylase. The competitive portion of this inhibition appears to be fairly constant regardless of the condition of the enzyme being measured, but the noncompetitive (V-type) inhibition is subject to variation depending on the source of the enzyme, its storage condition, the presence or absence of various ligands, and...
متن کاملRegulation at the phosphoenolpyruvate branchpoint in Azotobacter vinelandii: phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase.
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (EC 4.1.1.31) from Azotobacter vinelandii, like the corresponding enzyme from other organisms, is activated by acetyl coenzyme A and inhibited by l-aspartate. Both modifiers affect primarily the affinity of the enzyme for phosphoenolpyruvate. This is the first enzyme with a strictly anaplerotic (intermediate-replacing) function to be tested for response to the ad...
