Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the two PEPC genes in two C4 grasses, Panicum miliaceum and Echinochloa colona, which typically possess one highly expressed PEPC gene that facilitates the carbon-concentrating mechanism in C4 photosynthesis.
- Researchers synthesized coding sequences for the PEPC proteins from both grasses, performed point mutations, and analyzed their kinetic properties using advanced techniques.
- Results showed that PEPCs in P. miliaceum were highly similar and had similar kinetic properties, whereas the PEPCs in E. colona had notable differences, particularly in how they responded to allosteric regulators, suggesting evolutionary variations.
