Abstract
This review attempts to summarize the large body of information on the structure regulation and biosynthesis of the enzyme phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase in C4 plants which has accumulated particularly since the appearance of the last review in 1987 Among the major discoveries are the involvement of protein phosphorylationdephosphorylation cascade in the light activation of the enzyme extraction and characteristics of PEPCprotein serine kinase dynamic changes in oligomeric state of the enzyme in response to pH or temperature isolation of multiple cDNAs encoding different forms of PEPC and cloning and expression of maize/sorghum PEPC in transgenic tobacco or transformed E coli cells Further experiments using advanced techniques of biochemistry and molecular biology would help in understanding the molecular mechanism of reaction regulation of enzyme activity gene expression and evolutionary pattern of C4 PEPC
