Description | Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPcase) catalyzes the irreversible β-carboxylation of phosphoenolpyruvate by bicarbonate to yield oxaloacetate and phosphate. The enzyme is found in all plants and in a variety of microorganisms. A histidine [ ] and a lysine [] have been implicated in the catalytic mechanism of this enzyme; the regions around these active site residues are highly conserved in PEPcase from various plants, bacteria and cyanobacteria.This entry represents a conserved region containing the lysine active site. |
