Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC; E. C. 4.1.1.31) catalyzes the irreversible b-carboxylation of PEP to yield oxaloacetate and inorganic phosphate with participation of HCO3 - ion and divalent metal ion. PEPC is a highly regulated cytosolic enzyme. The phosphorylation status is one of the most important regulatory mechanisms of PEPC. We examined the effect of carbon source (CO2, saccharose in in vitro cultivation medium) on activity and phosphorylation status of PEPC in tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum L.). Kinetic parameters such as Michaelis constant, maximal reaction rate, effects of D-glucose-6-P and Lmalate on enzyme activity for phosphorylated and dephosphorylated forms of PEPC were determined. The dephosphorylated form of tobacco PEPC had lower maximal reaction rate, it was less activated by D-glucose-6-P, especially at subsaturation PEP concentrations, but the sensitivity to L-malate was not influenced by phosphorylation. These characteristics of tobacco leaf PEPC were compared with those of PEPC from maize seeds (Zea mays, C4 plant). The dephosphorylation of PEPC from seeds caused the decrease of maximal reaction rate and it changed the kinetics from hyperbolic to sigmoidal one. Unlike to PEPC from tobacco leaves, dephosphorylated form of PEPC from maize seeds was more sensitive to inhibition by L-malate than phosphorylated one. Our results proved that the PEPC phosphorylation caused changes in enzyme kinetic characteristics, which was dependent on plant species.
