Unusual Properties and Functions of Plant Pyruvate, Orthophospate Dikinase

نویسنده

  • Veronika Hyskova
چکیده

The pyruvate, orthophosphate dikinase (PPDK, EC 2.7.9.1), crucial plant enzyme in the process of concentrating CO2 for Calvin cycle, catalyzes phosphoenolpyruvate-regeneration phase of the C4 photosynthetic pathway [1]. However plants possess also nonphotosynthetic isoform of PPDK, which functions are less understood, probably due to its low abundance [2]. In all plants, PPDK is located in both cytoplasmic and plastidic compartments [3]. PPDK catalyzes the reversible ATPand Pidependent formation of phosphoenolpyruvate from pyruvate [4,5].

Regulation of pyruvate , orthophosphate dikinase by ADP - / Pi - dependent reversible phosphorylation in C 3 and C 4 plants > Chris

Pyruvate, orthophosphate dikinase (PPDK, E.C. 2.7.9.1) is a cardinal carbon-assimilating, stromal enzyme of the C4 photosynthetic pathway. Like several other photosynthetic pathway enzymes, its activity is strictly and reversibly regulated by light. This regulation is conferred by the PPDK regulatory protein (RP), a bifunctional protein kinase/phosphatase that catalyzes the ADP-/Pi-dependent, r...

The pyruvate, orthophosphate dikinase regulatory proteins of Arabidopsis possess a novel, unprecedented Ser/Thr protein kinase primary structure.

Pyruvate, orthophosphate dikinase (PPDK) is a ubiquitous, low-abundance metabolic enzyme of undetermined function in C3 plants. Its activity in C3 chloroplasts is light-regulated via reversible phosphorylation of an active-site Thr residue by the PPDK regulatory protein (RP), a most unusual bifunctional protein kinase (PK)/protein phosphatase (PP). In this paper we document the molecular clonin...

Pyruvate orthophosphate dikinase from the immature grains of cereal grasses.

Pyruvate orthophosphate dikinase has been identified in the green grains of eight cereal grasses, most of which are classified as C(3) plants. The wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Lerma Rojo) grain enzyme was further investigated: activity was low in very young grains, increased to a maximum at about 25 days after anthesis, then returned to a low level as the grain matured. It appeared to be loc...

Pyruvate orthophosphate dikinase of c(3) seeds and leaves as compared to the enzyme from maize.

Pyruvate orthophosphate dikinase (PPDK) was found in various immature seeds of C(3) plants (wheat, pea, green bean, plum, and castor bean), in some C(3) leaves (tobacco, spinach, sunflower, and wheat), and in C(4) (maize) kernels. The enzyme in the C(3) plants cross-reacts with rabbit antiserum against maize PPDK. Based on protein blot analysis, the apparent subunit size of PPDK from wheat seed...

Influence of Oxygen and Temperature on the Dark Inactivation of Pyruvate, Orthophosphate Dikinase and NADP-Malate Dehydrogenase in Maize.

The influence of oxygen and temperature on the inactivation of pyruvate, Pi dikinase and NADP-malate dehydrogenase was studied in Zea mays. O(2) was required for inactivation of both pyruvate, Pi dikinase and NADP-malate dehydrogenase in the dark in vivo. The rate of inactivation under 2% O(2) was only slightly lower than that at 21% O(2). The in vitro inactivation of pyruvate, Pi dikinase, whi...
