The amino-acid sequence of the small subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase from Zea mays has been determined by alignment of peptides generated by digestion with trypsin, chymotrypsin, staphylococcal protease and thermolysin. The protein-chemically determined structure is in

In addition to the normal carboxylation reaction, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase from Zea mays catalyzes a HCO3(-)-dependent hydrolysis of phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate and Pi. Two independent methods were used to establish this reaction. First, the formation of pyruvate was coupled to lactate

The impact of ozone on crops was more studied in C (3) than in C (4) species. In C (3) plants, ozone is known to induce a photosynthesis impairment that can result in significant depressions in biomass and crop yields. To investigate the impact of O (3) on C (4) plant species, maize seedlings ( ZEA

We quantified the ozone impact on levels of Zea mays L. cv. Chambord mRNAs encoding C4-phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (C4-PEPc), ribulose-l,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase small and large subunits (Rubisco-SSU and Rubisco-LSU, respectively) and Rubisco activase (RCA) using real-time RT-PCR.

Herbicidal activity of aryloxyphenoxypropionate and cyclohexanedione herbicides (graminicides) has been proposed to involve two mechanisms: inhibition of acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase) and depolarization of cell membrane potential. We examined the effect of aryloxyphenoxypropionates

The susceptibilities of maize (Zea mays cv. Champ) and two graminicide-resistant grass species, Poa annua (annual meadow grass) and Festuca rubra (red fescue), to two aryloxyphenoxypropionates (quizalofop and fluazifop) and a cyclohexanedione (sethoxydim) graminicide were evaluated in leaf blades

The activity and allosteric properties of plant phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC; EC 4.1.1.31) are controlled posttranslationally by specific reversible phosphorylation of a strictly conserved serine residue near the N-terminus. This up/down-regulation of PEPC is catalyzed by a dedicated and

To study the effects of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and Mg2+ on the activity of the non-phosphorylated and phosphorylated forms of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) from Zea mays leaves, steady-state measurements have been carried out with the free forms of PEP (fPEP) and Mg2+ (fMg2+), both in a

A mutation (Acc1-S2) in the structural gene for maize (Zea mays L.) acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase) that significantly reduces sethoxydim inhibition of leaf ACCase activity was used to investigate the gene-enzyme relationship regulating ACCase activity during oil deposition in developing

Metal ion interactions with phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase from the CAM plant Crassula argentea and the C(4) plant Zea mays were kinetically analyzed. Fe(2+) and Cd(2+) were found to be active metal cofactors along with the previously known active metals Mg(2+), Mn(2+), and Co(2+). In studies with

At low concentrations of phosphoenolpyruvate and magnesium, the substrate of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) from Zea mays leaves is the MgPEP complex and free phosphoenolpyruvate (fPEP) is an allosteric activator [A. Tovar-Méndez, R. Rodríguez-Sotres, D.M. López-Valentín, R.A. Muñoz-Clares,

The catalytic mechanism of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) carboxylase from Zea mays has been studied using (Z)- and (E)-3-fluorophosphoenolpyruvate (F-PEP) as substrates. Both (Z)- and (E)-F-PEP partition between carboxylation to produce 3-fluorooxalacetate and hydrolysis to produce 3-fluoropyruvate.

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) the carbon dioxide processing enzyme of C(4) plants, shows the features of an allosteric enzyme. Allosteric activators such as D-glucose-6-phosphate and glycine increase the affinity of PEPC for its substrate PEP at pH 8.0 and pH 7.0. Allosteric inhibitors like

The reaction catalyzed by phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase from Zea mays has been studied kinetically. Results of initial velocity patterns and inhibition studies indicate that phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase has a random sequential mechanism in which there is a high level of synergism in the binding

This study was conducted to assess the effects of dietary corn oil and vitamin E supplementation on fatty acid (FA) profiles and abundances of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) and Delta(9) stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) mRNA of Hu sheep. Animals were allocated to three dietary treatments: basal and
