first committed step of gluconeogenesis, important enzyme in the interconversion between C3 and C4 metabolites, recycling of an excess of phosphoenolpyruvate produced from pyruvate
one of the important enzymes in the interconversion between C3 and C4 metabolites. It provides phosphoenolpyruvate from oxaloacetate as the first step of gluconeogenesis. The enzyme plays an additional role in the recycling of excess phosphoenolpyruvate produced from pyruvate, replacing the function of the anaplerotic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase that is missing from this archaeon

in the presence of one divalent cation alone, Mn2+ gives the highest activity. Mg2+ and Co2+also support the reaction, although the activities are 4.5% and 21%, respectively, of that with Mn2+. Km for Co2+: 0.752 mM. When Mg2+ is added as a second cation, in presemce of Mg2+, the Km values for CO2+ in both directions of the reaction are markedly decreased

Km for Mg2+: 5.36 mM. When Mg2+ is added as a second cation, the Km values for Mn2+ in both directions of the reaction are markedly decreased to 0.021-0.022 mM
