[pyruvate, phosphate dikinase] phosphate + phosphate | Zea mays | - |
[pyruvate, phosphate dikinase] + diphosphate | reversible phosphorylation at Thr527 by maize pyruvate orthophosphate dikinase regulatory protein. The level of C4PPDK phosphorylated at Ser528 is much lower than that at Thr527 in maize leaves, meaning that phosphorylation at Ser528 is not as important as at Thr527 for the regulation of PPDK activity. The bifunctional enzyme exhibits kinase activity, EC 2.7.11.32, and dephosphorylation activity, EC 2.7.4.27 | ? |

General Information | Comment | Organism |

evolution | two loci for PPDK genes in maize chromosomes: one locus can transcribe two overlapping genes (C4 chloroplast PPDK [C4ppdk] and cytosolic PPDK [CyppdkZm1]) that are divergent at their 5' ends owing to different transcription initiation sites, isozyme sequences comparisons, the two peptides differ by 42 D, overview | Zea mays |
additional information | the two hydrogen bonds between the highly conserved residues Ser528 and Gly525 are required for enzyme PDRP-mediated phosphorylation of the active site residue Thr527 of PPDK | Zea mays |
physiological function | in C4 plants, pyruvate orthophosphate dikinase (PPDK) activity is tightly dark/light regulated by reversible phosphorylation of an active-site threonine residue catalyzed by PPDK regulatory protein (PDRP). Phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of PPDK lead to its inactivation and activation of PPDK, respectively. Light intensity rather than the light/dark transition regulates PPDK activity by modulating the reversible phosphorylation at Thr527 of PPDK in Zea mays. The amount of unphosphorylated PPDK involved in C4 photosynthesis is strictly controlled by light intensity, despite the high levels of PPDK protein that accumulate in mesophyll chloroplasts. The regulation of maize plastid PPDK isoform (C4PPDK) activity is complex, overview | Zea mays |
