The other possible routes for oxaloacetate synthesis are carboxylation of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) by PEP carboxylase (PPC) and PEP carboxytransphosphorylase, splitting of citrate by citrate lyase and ATP-citrate lyase, and the reversal of the PEP … 178:5960-5970 (1996)). Cyclic di-3′,5′-adenosine monophosphate (c-di-AMP) is a broadly conserved bacterial second messenger that has been implicated in a wide range of cellular processes. Pyruvate carboxylase (PYC; EC 6.4.1.1) fulfils an anaplerotic role by catalyzing the biotin-mediated carboxylation of pyruvate to oxaloacetate, which is then oxidized via the tricarboxylic acid cycle or utilized for biosynthesis [].PYCs produced by eukaryotes and most bacteria are α4 homotetramers whose long-term regulation occurs by two general mechanisms. We report here structural, biochemical, and functional studies on the inhibition of Lactococcus lactis pyruvate carboxylase (LlPC) by c-di-AMP. A pyc::Tn5 mutant had severely reduced growth, or failed to grow on sugars, three-carbon organic acids or glycerol, consistent with these substrates being metabolized via pyruvate.

An alternative explanation for the role of pyruvate carboxylase in regulation of biotin biosynthesis would be that BioQ senses low levels of biotin in a manner similar to E. coli BirA. When biotin levels are low, biotin‐binding domains would not be saturated with biotin cofactor, and unbiotinylated BCCP domains could interact directly with BioQ to modulate BioQ's regulatory … Differential regulation of the yeast isozymes of pyruvate carboxylase and the locus of action of acetyl CoA.
