Eikmanns Hochman Stephanopoulos In general, malic enzymes have a higher affinity towards malate than towards pyruvate, corroborating the C4-decarboxylation rather the C3-carboxylation function. Wood Sinskey Although specifically induced by malate via the MalK/MalR (formerly YufL/YufM) two-component system and biochemically characterized as a primarily NAD-dependent malic enzyme, maeA mutants grow normally on malate [105]. Although certainly increasing the flexibility of the PEP–pyruvate–oxaloacetate node, the associated energetic burden can be expected to be detrimental to high-level metabolite production. The PEP carboxylase genes (ppc) from several bacteria and also from a variety of plants have been cloned and the deduced proteins comparatively characterized (reviewed in [53, 54]). The metabolic link between glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and the TCA cycle is represented by the PEP–pyruvate–oxaloacetate node, also referred to as the anaplerotic node (Fig. Ladero For these reasons, we confine our discussion on the C3-carboxylating enzymes on the PEP and pyruvate carboxylases and deal with the general aspects of PEP carboxykinase and malic enzyme in the following section. Y. M. In bacteria, PEPC is typically activated by fructose 1,6-bisphosphate and acetyl-CoA, and inhibited by aspartate and malate (Chen et al. J. U. Marreiros   BC, Calisto   F, Castro   PJ  et al. 2016). M. The PEP–pyruvate–oxaloacetate node in B. subtilis. J. (, Murai Vol. (, Krampitz J.T. A notable exception is the α4-type PC from C. glutamicum, which seems inhibited by acetyl-CoA, as well as ADP and AMP (Peters-Wendisch et al. However, the efficiency of biotinylation is influenced by the allosteric effectors acetyl-CoA (positive) and aspartate (negative), acting on PC in Geobacillus stearothermophilus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Sundaram, Cazzulo and Kornberg 1971). Inhibition of atPEPC by aspartate was found to be competitive with PEP, rather than allosteric (Dharmarajan et al. in different species of Pseudomonas [42, 135, 136] and Acetobacter[137], C. glutamicum[138], Veillonella parvula[139] and A. vinelandii[140]. Levin However, the C. thermocellum and T. kodakarensis MEs, shown to be non-decarboxylating NADP+-MEs belongs to the group 1 MEs (Fukuda et al. Nimmo class-1/PTPC). Using a more comprehensive network model, in vivo glyoxlate shunt activity was indeed shown in slow-growing wild-type E. coli in glucose-limited chemostat cultures akin to those mentioned above, while it was inactive in rapidly growing batch or chemostat cultures [11].

However, the thermodynamics certainly do not restrict it from working in the glycolytic direction. Instead, it was dependent on divalent cations and accordingly falls into the class of divalent-cation-dependent oxaloacetate decarboxylases. Saenphimmachak ADP and ATP are both reported as inhibitors and activators (Benziman et al.

H. Thakker   C, Martínez   I, San   K-Y  et al. During catalysis, carboxybiotin is translocated to the carboxyltransferase domain … B.J. The identification of the pyruvate carboxylase as alternative anaplerotic enzyme [77, 80] as well as quantitative in vivo flux determinations at the PEP–pyruvate–oxaloacetate node [10] substantiated this conclusion and drew major attention to this enzyme. Yang Finan (iv) Fourth is a noncyclic pathway that involves the glyoxylate cycle enzymes, but in which oxaloacetate is re-plenished by pyruvate carboxylation, resulting in a theoretical maximum yield of 1 1/3 mol malate per mol glucose. Guyonvarch Bowman   E, McQueney   M, Barry   RJ  et al. Whether the PK activity is controlled via this post-translational modification is not known (Bendt et al. 2011; Bartholomae et al. Sugimoto VI, 1972. This supply of AMP fits well with ATP synthesis from AMP by PPS, as shown in Fig. The responsible phosphate donor is not known, but it suggests that the PTS might have a more central metabolic role (in the PPO-node) beyond sugar uptake. Sahm (, Koffas H. M.D. Katsuki Generally, pyruvate carboxylases are biotin-containing enzymes and catalyze the irreversible carboxylation of pyruvate to oxaloacetate (reaction ). A.M. K. W.A. Some places say carboxylation. The enzyme catalyzes the highly exergonic bicarbonate fixation on PEP to form oxaloacetate and inorganic phosphate, using Mg2+ or Mn2+ as a cofactor [1]. 2017), although PKs are ubiquitously present in all three, with only a few exceptions that will be discussed below (Enriqueta Muñoz and Ponce 2003). Recently, a homologous OAD was identified in eukaryotes as well, potentially involved in maintaining an optimal oxaloacetate pool (Pircher et al. Oberholzer   AE, Bumann   M, Schneider   P  et al. (. B.J. K. Although both have been shown to be required for acetyl-CoA generation via pyruvate, primarily NADP+-dependent MEs are thought to be responsible for gluconeogenesis (Voegele, Mitsch and Finan 1999; Sauer and Eikmanns 2005; Bologna, Andreo and Drincovich 2007). B.J. \end{eqnarray*}$$, $$\begin{eqnarray*} Fiaux Raeven As was already mentioned, it was shown that PPdK regulatory protein (PDRP) is a regulator for PPS activity in E. coli, analogous to its regulation of pyruvate phosphate dikinase (Burnell 2010). Altman Another hypothesis is that malic enzyme, together with pyruvate carboxylase and the NADH-dependent malate dehydrogenase, would catalyze an ATP-dependent metabolic cycle generating NADPH from NADH without the loss of carbon [237] as depicted in Fig. 2004; Espariz et al. Gordon (, Cocaign-Bousquet D. A. Eikmanns, submitted for publication). This novel cycle catalyzes complete oxidation of carbohydrates to CO2, a property that was previously considered to be exclusive for the TCA cycle [12].

In most organisms, the primary function of PEPCK is believed to be gluconeogenesis, in order to convert pyruvate to PEP; first by pyruvate carboxylase, followed by PEPCK.

G.Y. R.R. Mg2+ or Mn2+ are required for activity. Only one example is known of a wildtype bacterium that uses a NADP+-dependent ME to fix CO2 (Matula, McDonald and Martin 1969). In few bacteria such as R. eutropha (and also in a pyruvate kinase-deficient mutant of B. subtilis, see Section 4.2), PEP carboxykinase has been found to catalyze the reverse reaction (i.e. Other alternative prioritizations could relate to the trade-off between rate and yield of energy conservation; toxicity of metabolic intermediates; the costs for the required enzyme machinery; requirement for metals, cofactors & coenzymes, or ecologically rare/limiting elements; etc. O.

Yet, despite forming the heart of metabolism, the PPO-node is also the part of the core metabolism that seems to vary the most between different organisms, as many possible biochemical reactions are known to exist in the PPO-node, summarized in Fig. Finally, PEP synthetase is inhibited strongly by PEP and to a lesser extent by AD(M)P, oxaloacetate, and oxoglutarate and stimulated by high energy charge values [180, 181], which would, if expressed, diminish its activity during sugar catabolism. Charles 2013), and the PKs from the parasite Cryptosporidium parvum and other hyperthermophilic archaea have no known effectors at all (Denton et al. Seven different PTS types are distinguished, of which the substrate-recognizing EIIC proteins have evolved from at least four independent sources, giving rise to the Glc-Fru-Lac superfamily, the Asc-Gat superfamily, the Man family and the Dha family. Bayles C. Homuth C.M. S. However, as deduced from annotated (genome) sequences, further bacteria and archaea probably also possess GTP-specific PEP carboxykinases (summarized in [85]) and thus, it might turn out that in fact many if not most bacteria possess a GTP-dependent PEP carboxykinase. Bovee Perhaps the most striking from Fig. Pyruvate phosphate dikinase (PPdK) catalyzes the reversible conversion of PEP to pyruvate via three partial reactions: First, PPdK combines with ATP to form AMP and the enzyme-diphosphate, then pyrophosphate is formed via the combination of orthophosphate and a phosphate group from the enzyme-diphosphate. Stephanopoulos K. The metabolic system-wide perspective of flux traffic then revealed that glyoxylate shunt activity cannot be understood individually, but rather that it functions in combination with PEP carboxykinase in the so-called PEP–glyoxylate cycle (Fig. As deduced from the respective citM gene, this enzyme shows a high level of similarity to malic enzymes from other organisms, however, at least in vitro, it has no malic enzyme activity. In particular the malic enzyme is often present as multiple isoenzymes, with varying cofactor specificities. S. M.

Additionally, pckA is also strongly induced at the onset of stationary phase [5, 96], possibly through accumulated by-products such as acetate. D.S. J.E. In most bacteria studied so far, expression of the respective pckA (or pck) gene is dependent on the carbon source in the growth medium, e.g. The molecular mass of the subunits (32 kDa) and of the native enzyme (118 kDa) suggested an α4 subunit structure.

Solid arrows indicate reactions that are required twice per cycle. A.A. The metabolic fate of pyruvate, oxidative decarboxylation to yield acetyl CoA or carboxylation to yield oxaloacetate, is determined by the relative availability of acetyl CoA (which also arises from β-oxidation of fatty acids and metabolism of ketone bodies) and the need for oxaloacetate to maintain tricarboxylic acid cycle activity. Kai This reaction is highly exergonic, and essentially irreversible. With the exception of C. glutamicum (for further details see Section 4), however, the relevance of the one or the other of the two enzymes under different growth conditions has not been clarified so far.
