Abstract: | Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygelase (RuBPCase) was studied in melon leaves infected by Colletotrichum lagenarium, a fungal pathogen of melons. Electrophoretic analysis of melon leaf proteins indicated a strong effect of infection on RuBPCase, the subunits of which gradually disappeared during the different stages of infection. Enzyme activity also declined 4 d after inoculation and its content, measured by immunoelectrophoresis, decreased to a similar extent. Synthesis of the large and small subunits of RuBPCase was followed by in-vivo pulse-labeling experiments. A drastic decrease in the rate of RuBPCase-subunit synthesis occurred 3 d after inoculation and preceded the appearance of disease symptoms. There was an apparent coordination of the synthesis of the two subunits under these conditions.Abbreviations LS (SS)
