Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase [GTP] (abbr .: PEPCK) is that of the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of oxaloacetate by GTP to phosphoenolpyruvate catalyzed . This reaction step is the rate-determining sub-step of gluconeogenesis . PEPCK is also found in bacteria, in vertebrates there are two isoforms , cytosolic and mitochondrial. They are encoded in humans by the genes PCK1 and PCK2 and are particularly expressed in the liver , kidneys and adipocytes . In contrast to PEPCK-M, the activity of PEPCK-C can be regulated by hormones. Mutations in PCK1 or PCK2 can cause the corresponding (rare) PEPCK deficiency disease.

The PEPCK [GTP] is not to be confused with the ATP-dependent PEPCK, which occurs in plants and bacteria, but not in animals.

Because of its central position in gluconeogenesis, the PEPCK is a candidate when it comes to hereditary diabetes or obesity.

Catalyzed reaction

GTP + GDP + + CO 2Oxaloacetate    PEP

A phosphate group is transferred from GTP to oxaloacetate and carbon dioxide is split off. In the active center of the enzyme there is an arginine residue and the metal manganese in oxidation state + II. The keto oxygen forms a complex between arginine and Mn 2+ and thus enables the carboxy group to be split off at the end further away with the formation of a double bond. A phosphate is then transferred from GTP to the oxygen. At the same time, Mn 2+ and arginine also ensure the complexation of GTP in the enzyme.

regulation

The activity of PEPCK-C, and thus gluconeogenesis as a whole, is influenced by a number of hormones . Glucagon promotes the transcription of PEPCK by phosphorylation of a transcription factor in the liver , just like all-trans retinoic acid . Other regulating molecules are liver lipids , insulin (via SREBP -1c) and γ- interferon .

For regulation by glucocorticoids, see the detailed example there.
