Ammonium sulfate chromatography has been employed to separate glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenases (GPD) of Sinapis alba cotyledons of various developmental stages. Cotyledons of dark-grown seedlings possess one major NAD-specific enzyme designated NAD-GPD I. Irradiation with continuous far red light leads to a strong increase in NADP-GPD activity and to the formation of a second NAD activity designated NAD-GPD II. These two activities occur in a constant ratio during cotyledon development, and they are eluted together in ammonium sulfate chromatography. In a later stage of cotyledon development the light-dependent increase in NAD-GPD II is matched by an equivalent decrease in NAD-GPD I. These data suggest that the chloroplast marker enzyme NADP-GPD (EC 1.2.1.13) also has NAD activity and that the light-dependent formation of this bifunctional enzyme is correlated with activity changes of the NAD-GPD of cytoplasmic glycolysis (EC 1.2.1.12). 相似文献

Guard cell protoplasts of Pisum sativum show considerable NADP-dependent malate dehydrogenase (MDH) activity in darkness which can be enhanced severalfold by illumination or treatment with dithiothreitol (DTT). The question arose whether guard cells possess an NADP-MDH different from that present in the chloroplasts of the mesophyll (which is inactive in darkness or in the absence of DTT). MDH activities were determined in extracts of isolated protoplasts from mesophyll and epidermis, and in mechanically prepared epidermal pieces (with guard cells as the only living cells and no interference from proteases originating from the cell wall digesting enzymes). Guard cells possessed NAD-dependent MDHs of high activity and incomplete exclusion of NADP as a coenzyme. This NADP-dependent activity of the NAD-MDH(s) could not be stimulated by DTT or, inferentially, by light. The DTT- (and light-) dependent NADP-MDH represented 0.05% of the total protein of the guard cells and had a specific activity of 0.1 unit per milligram protein; both values are in the same range as the corresponding ones of the mesophyll cells. Agreement was also found in the extent of light activation, in subunit molecular weight, immunological cross-reactions, and in the behavior on an ion exchange column. The activity of the chloroplastic NADP-MDH in guard cells barely suffices to meet the malate requirement for stomatal opening in the light. It is therefore likely that NAD-MDHs residing in other compartments of the guard cells supplement the activity of the chloroplastic NADP-MDH particularly during stomatal opening in darkness. 相似文献

The structure of the holo enzyme shows that the four chemically identical sub-units are arranged with almost perfect 222 symmetry. There are indications, however, that the active centre regions might only be related in pairs. 相似文献

The d-glyceraldehyde 3-P dehydrogenases of spinach leaf, pea seed, and pea shoot were purified. The NADP and NAD-linked enzymes of either spinach leaves and pea shoots could not be separated. Changes in the ratio of NADP- to NAD-linked activity of the spinach leaf and pea shoot enzymes were observed during both purification and storage of crude extracts. The spinach leaf, pea shoot, and pea seed enzymes differ electrophoretically from each other and from the rabbit muscle enzyme.The pea seed and shoot enzymes contain bound nucleotide cofactor, resist proteolytic attack, have similar Michaelis-Menton kinetic constants and are competitively inhibited by d-sedoheptulose-7-phosphate and d-sedoheptulose 1,7-diphosphate. Charcoal removes the bound nucleotide from the pea seed enzyme but not from the pea shoot enzymes. NADP and NADPH were found to inhibit the reductive but not oxidative reaction catalyzed by the charcoal treated seed enzyme. The function of the pea shoot NADP and NAD-linked enzymes in chloroplast metabolism is discussed in regard to their location and catalytic properties. Although the NADP-linked activity can be assigned a primary, if not exclusive function in photosynthesis, the assignment of a distinct metabolic function to the NAD-linked activity cannot be made at present. 相似文献

Mitochondria and leaf microbodies isolated from leaves of pea ( Pisum sativum) by sucrose density gradient centrifugation were each shown to have a unique form (isoenzyme) of malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.37) based on chromatographic and kinetic properties. Root organelle preparations were shown to contain only a mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase with physical and kinetic properties similar to the leaf form. The absence of a detectable root microbody malate dehydrogenase similar to the leaf enzyme, which is intermediate in electrophoretic and chromatographic properties between the mitochondrial and soluble isoenzymes, was confirmed by diethylaminoethyl cellulose column chromatography and starch-gel electrophoresis of total homogenates from leaf and root tissue. These findings tend to support the role of the leaf microbody isoenzyme in a pathway unique to photosynthetic tissue. 相似文献

Chloroplasts were isolated from ruptured guard-cell protoplasts of the Argenteum mutant of Pisum sativum L. and purified by centrifugation through a Percoll layer. The combined volume of the intact plastids and the uptake of phosphate were determined by silicone oil-filtering centrifugation, using tritiated water and [14C]sorbitol as membrane-permeating and nonpermeating markers and [32P]phosphate as tracer for phosphate. The affinities of the phosphate translocator for organic phosphates were assessed by competition with inorganic phosphate. The affinities for dihydroxyacetone phosphate, 3-phosphoglycerate (PGA), and phosphoenolpyruvate were in the same order as those reported for mesophyll chloroplasts of several species. However, the guard-cell phosphate translocator had an affinity for glucose-6-phosphate that was as high as that for PGA. Guard-cell chloroplasts share this property with amyloplasts from the root of pea (H.W. Heldt, U.I. Flugge, S. Borchert [1991] Plant Physiol 95: 341-343). An ability to import glucose-6-phosphate enables guard-cell chloroplasts to synthesize starch despite the reported absence of a fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase activity in the plastids, which would be required if only C3 phosphates could enter through the translocator. 相似文献

Enzymatic properties of the chloroplast GAP dehydrogenase and FBPase from the wheat or the rice leaves of the main stems during grain filling period have been investigated. According to the effect of the substrate or coenzymes concentration, it is shown that the GAP dehydrogenases in freshly ruptured wheat or rice chloroplast show higher activities than FBPase, especially the activity of the wheat chloroplast GAP dehydrogenase is over ten times greater than that of FBPase. However, the activities of the above two enzymes in the rice chloroplast show only little difference, but the activity of the rice FBPase is higher than that of the wheat. The maximum initial velocities (Vmax) of the two enzymes in the above two chloroplasts are determined and are apparantly different from each other. At about 0.2 mM NAD(P)H concentration the activity of GAP dehydrogenase in the rice chloroplast is saturated. But, with the same concentration the wheat GAP dehydrogenase is still not saturated. It is noteworthy that the ratio of the activities of the two chloroplast GAP dehydrogenases for NADPH and NADH approaches equal as the coenzyme concentration is increased. Possible physiological significance of the kinetic properties of the above two enzymes during the wheat and rice grain filling period was discussed. 相似文献

Functional and structural properties of the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenases from the mesophilic archaeum Methanobacterium bryantii and from the hyperthermophilic archaea Methan-othermus fervidus, Pyrococcus woesei and Thermoproteus tenax were compared to characterize the thermophilic phenotype. Site dierected mutagenesis with the M. fervidus enzyme were performed to analyse the structural background of the thermoadaptive features of the archaeal glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. 相似文献

Two ferredoxins in approximately equal amounts were isolatedfrom 3 week old Pisum sativum L. seedlings. Both ferredoxinshad identical absorption spectra with maxima at 276, 327, 424,and 468 nm in the oxidized state, and each possessed a single2Fe-2S active centre. The isoelectric points of the two ferredoxinswere both at pH 3·3, and mixtures could not be separatedby isoelectric focusing on polyacrylamide gels. The midpointredox potentials of the ferredoxins were close to 415mV, but they differed slightly in their biological activity.Ferredoxin I was slightly the more active of the two in catalysingNADP + photoreduction by Pisum or Hordeum chloroplasts whereasferredoxin II was more active in catalysing the oxidative cleavageof pyruvate by extracts of Clostridium pasteurianum. Thoughthe molecular weights of the ferredoxins determined by ultracentrifugationwere the same within experimental error, the amino acid compositionsshowed marked differences. The N-terminal 40 amino acid residuesof ferredoxins I and II were determined by means of an automaticsequencer. There were 15 differences, suggesting that gene duplicationhad occurred early in evolutionary time. Ferredoxin I appearsto be more closely related to the other angiosperm ferredoxinssince it differed in only 6 positions compared with the correspondingsequence for Medicago sativa (alfalfa) ferredoxin. The ratioof the two ferredoxins in Pisum sativum was shown to be dependenton the age of the seedlings and environmental growth conditions. 相似文献

Time-dependent thermal inactivation of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) present in the extract of mung beans at different periods of germination showed biphasic kinetics in the 12-h germinated seeds but single exponential decay at 24 h of germination. The glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G-3-P) concentration in the deproteinated extracts was found to increase with period of germination up to 36 h, parallel to that of GAPDH activity. G-3-P was found to offer protection of the enzyme against thermal inactivation and trypsin digestion. It is suggested that accumulation of G-3-P in germinating mung beans may be of physiological significance and it might offer protection to the enzyme in vivo against thermal inactivation and proteolysis. 相似文献

The development of NADP- and NAD-dependent glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase and NADH-specific glyoxylate reductase was followed in Sinapis alba cotyledons grown in the dark or under continuous red and far red light. All three enzyme activities are promoted by light, continuous far red light being more than twice as effective as continuous red light. The activities of the NADP-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase and glyoxylate reductase increase in the far red light from 36 to 96 hours. They remain constant until at least 120 hours after sowing and are respectively 11 and 6 times higher than the maximum dark activities. Contrary to this, the activity of the NAD-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase is scarcely more than doubled under continuous far red irradiation relative to its maximal dark level, and its time course curve is displaced along the time axis, with the activity increasing between 24 and 72 hours after sowing. 相似文献

Activation of NAD(P)-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (NADP-GAPDH, EC 1.2.1.13) can be achieved in isolated chloroplasts in the light, or in the dark upon addition of dithiothreitol (DTT) and/or 3-phosphoglycerate plus ATP. Activation in darkened chloroplasts is only partial with DTT or 3-phosphoglycerate plus ATP alone, but complete when both effectors are added. In the light, full activation is only achieved upon addition of ATP. The time-course of activation appears to depend upon the actual concentration of 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate (1,3bisPGA) inside the chloroplasts. The K a values for 1,3bisPGA are in the same range as has been determined for the purified enzyme, namely around 20 μM for the dark form (in the absence of DTT) and around 1 μM for the light form or in the presence of DTT. In contrast, the K a value for ATP is 1 to 2 mM for both the oxidized and the reduced enzyme forms. The observed activation of NADP-GAPDH is strongly paralleled by an increase of 3PGA, and consequently of 1,3bisPGA in the illuminated chloroplast, while the ATP level remains constant or declines. Activation by 1,3bisPGA is accompanied by dissociation of the 600 kDa form to the 150 kDa form, while reduction alone does not induce a shift in molecular mass as documented by fast gel filtration on Superdex 200. Thus partial activation by DTT in the dark is due to an increased activity of the 600 kDa form, while the activation state in the light is the result of a partial conversion of the 600 kDa form into the more active 150 kDa form. The principle of this activation is a fast reduction of the enzyme by the ferredoxin/thioredoxin system, resulting in a lowered K avalue for 1,3bisPGA, and thus adjusting the properties of the enzyme to the stromal 1,3bisPGA level. The occurrence of a 300 kDa oligomer mainly during inactivation has also been observed. From these results a model is constructed that describes the reversible interconversion of various activation and aggregation states of NADP-GAPDH as observed upon light/dark transitions in isolated spinach chloroplasts. 相似文献

The metabolism of glutamine in the leaf and subtended fruit of the aging pea ( Pisum sativum L. cv. Burpeeana) has been studied in relation to changes in the protein, chlorophyll, and free amino acid content of each organ during ontogenesis. Glutamine synthetase [EC 6.3.1.2] activity was measured during development and senescence in each organ. Glutamate synthetase [EC 2.6.1.53] activity was followed in the pod and cotyledon during development and maturation. Maximal glutamine synthetase activity and free amino acid accumulation occurred together in the young leaf. Glutamine synthetase ( in vitro) in leaf extracts greatly exceeded the requirement ( in vivo) for reduced N in the organ. Glutamine synthetase activity, although declining in the senescing leaf, was sufficient ( in vitro) to produce glutamine from all of the N released during protein hydrolysis ( in vivo). Maximal glutamine synthetase activity in the pod was recorded 6 days after the peak accumulation of the free amino acids in this organ. In the young pod, free amino acids accumulated as glutamate synthetase activity increased. Maximal pod glutamate synthetase activity occurred simultaneously with maximal leaf glutamine synthetase activity, but 6 days prior to the corresponding maximum of glutamine synthetase in the pod. Cotyledonary glutamate synthetase activity increased during the assimilatory phase of embryo growth which coincided with the loss of protein and free amino acids from the leaf and pod; maximal activity was recorded simultaneously with maximal pod glutamine synthetase. We suggest that the activity of glutamine synthetase in the supply organs (leaf, pod) furnishes the translocated amide necessary for the N nutrition of the cotyledon. The subsequent activity of glutamate synthetase could provide a mechanism for the transfer of imported amide N to alpha amino N subsequently used in protein synthesis. In vitro measurements of enzyme activity indicate there was sufficient catalytic potential in vivo to accomplish these proposed roles. 相似文献

NADP-dependent glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase from Euglena gracilis (EC 1.2.1.13
[EC]
) was purified about 170-fold bya two-step procedure involving DEAE-SH cellulose chromatographyand affinity chromatography on ADP-Sepharose. The homogeneousenzyme from mildly sonicated cells contained equal amounts oftwo types of subunits with mol wts of 34,000 (A) and 38,000(B). The active enzyme had a mol wt 144,000 and is thereforean A 2B 2 tetramer. Enzyme from strongly sonicated Euglena cellscontained, in addition, a second allomer with a probable A 4structure. NADdependent glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase,a tetramer with 36,000 mol wt subunits, was unrelated immunologicallyto the NADP-dependent enzyme although the latter also showedminor NAD-dependent activity. Both isoenzymes of the NADPlinkedglyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, however, were immunologicallyidentical.

A new triterpenoid saponin was isolated from Pisum sativum and characterized as 3-O-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1----2)-beta-D-galactopyranosyl(1----2)-be ta- D-glucuronopyranosyl(1----)]-22-O-[3'-hydroxy-2'-methyl-5',6'-dihy dro-4'- pyrone(6'----)]-3 beta, 22 beta, 24-trihydroxyolean-12-ene. The name chromosaponin I is proposed. Chromosaponin I yielded soyasaponin I, known as phytochrome inhibitor, during extraction, but the latter was not found in the free form in this plant. 相似文献

The alterations in GDH activity occurring in preincubated shoots are restricted to the mitochondria.An experimental device suitable for studying the GDH function in isolated intact mitochondria has been established.

-Mannosidase and ß- N-acetylglucosaminidase were purifiedfrom extracts of cotyledons of germinating Pisum sativum L.A 13-fold purification of a-mannosidase free from ß- N-acetylglucosaminidaseactivity was achieved by precipitation in ammonium sulphate,column chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, and treatment with2 M pyridine. ß- N-Acetylglucosaminidase was purified200-fold by the use of (NH 4) 2SO 4, and chromatography on ConcanavalinA 1-Sepharose and Sephacryl-200. This preparation showed no measurablecontamination by -mannosidase activity. Both glycosidases appearto be glycoproteins and demonstrate optimal activity at pH valuesof 4.04.5. Both glycosidases appear to have very similarmolecular weights, with -mannosidase being slightly larger thanß- N-acetylglucosaminidase. An extensive search forthe activity of aspartylglycosylamine amido hydrolase in peacotyledons proved unsuccessful. 相似文献

Some properties of ornithine carbamoyltransferase from chloroplasts isolated from leaves of Pisum sativum L. (cv Marzia) were compared with those of the enzyme partially purified (316-fold) from shoots of seedlings after 3 weeks of cultivation. Both preparations showed a pH optimum at pH 8.3 and had the same affinity to ornithine (Km = 1.2 millimolar) as well as to carbamoyl phosphate (Km = 0.2 millimolar). The approximate molecular weight determined by gel sieving was 77,600. A desalted ammonium sulfate precipitate from 14-day seedlings (inclusive roots and senescing cotyledons) was applied on a column of anion exchanger. The elution pattern showed one peak of ornithine carbamoyl-transferase activity. This elution pattern was the same as observed for the enzyme from chloroplasts. The results suggest the presence of one form of ornithine carbamoyl-transferase in pea seedlings. 相似文献
