Abstract
Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) was shown to act as a stabilizer and as a protecting agent of PEP-carboxylase, under saline conditions, in a cell free system (1). PEP pretreated PEP carboxylases, extracted from 20 species (halophytes and glycophytes), were inhibited by 100 mM NaCl in the presence of low concentrations of PEP in the assay medium; but were activated by 100 mM NaCl, in the presence of high concentrations of PEP. Furthermore, their kinetic properties were affected and their range of salt tolerance was expended (1,2,3).
