Phosphorus (P) is an essential macronutrient element for plant growth, and deficiency of inorganic phosphate (Pi) limits plant growth and yield. Elephant grass () is an important fodder crop cultivated widely in tropical and subtropical areas throughout the world. However, the mechanisms underlying efficient P use in elephant grass under Pi deficiency remain poorly understood.

Background: Glycolytic pathway is common in all plant organs, especially in oxygen-deficient tissues. Phosphofructokinase (PFK) is a rate-limiting enzyme in the glycolytic pathway and catalyses the phosphorylation of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. Cassava (M.

Methylomonas sp. ZR1 was an isolated new methanotrophs that could utilize methane and methanol growing fast and synthesizing value added compounds such as lycopene. In this study, the genomic study integrated with the comparative transcriptome analysis were taken to understanding the metabolic characteristic of ZR1 grown on methane and methanol at normal and high temperature regime.

This work reports the molecular cloning and heterologous expression of the genes coding for α and β subunits of pyrophosphate-dependent phosphofructokinase (PPi-PFK) from orange. When expressed individually, both recombinant subunits were produced as highly purified monomeric proteins able to phosphorylate fructose-6-phosphate at the expenses of PPi (specific activity of 0.075 and 0.

Mitochondrial evolution entailed the origin of protein import machinery that allows nuclear-encoded proteins to be targeted to the organelle, as well as the origin of cleavable N-terminal targeting sequences (NTS) that allow efficient sorting and import of matrix proteins. In hydrogenosomes and mitosomes, reduced forms of mitochondria with reduced proteomes, NTS-independent targeting of matrix proteins is known. Here, we studied the cellular localization of two glycolytic enzymes in the anaerobic pathogen Trichomonas vaginalis: PPi-dependent phosphofructokinase (TvPPi-PFK), which is the main glycolytic PFK activity of the protist, and ATP-dependent PFK (TvATP-PFK), the function of which is less clear.
