Limited information exists regarding molecular events that occurred during the evolution of C(4) plants from their C(3) ancestors. The enzyme β-carbonic anhydrase (CA; EC 4.2.1.1), which catalyses the reversible hydration of CO(2), is present in multiple forms in C(3) and C(4) plants, and has given insights into the molecular evolution of the C(4) pathway in the genus Flaveria. cDNAs encoding three distinct isoforms of β-CA, CA1-CA3, have been isolated and examined from Flaveria C(3) and C(4…

C(4) photosynthesis, a biochemical CO(2)-concentrating mechanism (CCM), evolved more than 60 times within the angiosperms from C(3) ancestors. The genus Flaveria, which contains species demonstrating…
Biochemical characterization of the chloroplastic β-carbonic anhydrase from Flaveria bidentis (L.) “Kuntze”
TLDR
Recombinant FbiCA1 is a compact octameric protein that is moderately inhibited by carboxylate molecules, suggesting that its capacity to tolerate high pyruvate concentration reflects the high concentration of pyruVate in the chloroplasts of bundle-sheath and mesophyll cells involved in C4 photosynthesis.
(In)organic anions as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors.
Kinetic and anion inhibition studies of a β-carbonic anhydrase (FbiCA 1) from the C4 plant Flaveria bidentis.
Photorespiration and the evolution of C4 photosynthesis.
TLDR
Phylogenetically informed research indicates that the repositioning of mitochondria in the bundle sheath is one of the earliest steps in C(4) evolution, as it may establish a single-celled mechanism to scavenge photorespired CO(2) produced in the bundles sheath cells.
Bioinformatic analysis of beta carbonic anhydrase sequences from protozoans and metazoans
TLDR
These investigations identified 75 novel beta carbonic anhydrases in metazoan and protozoan species, and among them there were 52 novel sequences that were not previously annotated as beta carbonics, and contained highly conserved amino acid residues, which are inferred to form the active site in beta Carbonic anHydrases.
Evolution of the Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase Protein Kinase Family in C3 and C4 Flaveria spp.1[W][OPEN]
TLDR
This work links the evolutionary changes in sequence, PPCK expression, and phosphorylation pattern to an evolutionary phase shift of kinase activity from a C3 to a C4 mode.
A MEM1-like motif directs mesophyll cell-specific expression of the gene encoding the C4 carbonic anhydrase in Flaveria
TLDR
Results support the idea that a common regulatory switch drives the expression of the C4Flaveria ca3 and ppcA1 genes specifically in M cells.
Evolutionary History of Blepharis (Acanthaceae) and the Origin of C4 Photosynthesis in Section Acanthodium
TLDR
A phylogenetic framework of Blepharis is presented and hypotheses of where and when C4 photosynthesis evolved in the genus are presented, suggesting that it evolved two or three times in southern Africa and Asia between 1 and 5 million years ago.

Molecular comparison of carbonic anhydrase from Flaveria species demonstrating different photosynthetic pathways
TLDR
The F. bidentis (C4) CA sequence was found to be the least similar of the Flaveria proteins and, as most of the sequence dissimilarity was found in the first third of the CA molecule, these differences may be involved in the intracellular targeting of CA.
Carbonic Anhydrase and Its Role in Photosynthesis
TLDR
Recent studies on carbonic anhydrase include the isolation and characterization of new isoforms, the generation and phenotypic description of carbonicAnhydrase mutants, as well as elucidation of mechanisms responsible for regulation of expression.
The Flaveria bidentis β-Carbonic Anhydrase Gene Family Encodes Cytosolic and Chloroplastic Isoforms Demonstrating Distinct Organ-Specific Expression Patterns1[OA]
Carbonic anhydrase (CA) catalyzes the interconversion of CO2 and bicarbonate, the forms of inorganic carbon used by the primary carboxylating enzymes of C3 and C4 plants, respectively. Multiple forms…
Loss of the Transit Peptide and an Increase in Gene Expression of an Ancestral Chloroplastic Carbonic Anhydrase Were Instrumental in the Evolution of the Cytosolic C4 Carbonic Anhydrase in Flaveria1[C][OA]
TLDR
Comparisons of ortholog sequences, expression patterns, and intracellular locations of their products indicated that CA1 and CA2 have maintained their ancestral role in C4 plants, whereas modifications to the C3 CA3 gene led to the evolution of the CA isoform that catalyzes the first step in the C4 photosynthetic pathway.
Gamma carbonic anhydrases in plant mitochondria
TLDR
It is proposed that photosynthetic eukaryotic organisms (green algae and plants) contain γCAs and that these enzymes codified by nuclear genes are imported into mitochondria to accomplish their biological function.
Photosynthetic and photorespiratory characteristics of flaveria species.
TLDR
The evolution of C(3)-C(4) intermediate photosynthesis likely occurred in response to environmental conditions which limit the intercellular CO(2) concentration first via refixation of photorespired CO(1) and prior to substantive reduction in O( 2) inhibition and development of the C( 4) syndrome.
Carbonic anhydrase and C4 photosynthesis a transgenic analysis
TLDR
The present data show that CA activity is essential for the functioning of the C4 photosynthetic pathway and reduces the CO2 partial pressure required to saturate CO2 assimilation rates.

NADP-malic enzyme (NADP-ME, EC 1.1.1.40), a key enzyme in C4 photosynthesis, provides CO2 to the bundle-sheath chloroplasts, where it is fixed by ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase. We…

TLDR
The intracellular compartmentation of carbonic anhydrase (CA; EC 4.2.1.1), an enzyme that catalyses the reversible hydration of CO2 to bicarbonate, has been investigated in potato leaves and Cytosolic and chloroplastic CA isoenzymes were found to be similarly inhibited by monovalent anions and sulfonamides.
