The regulation of CO(2) assimilation by intact spinach (Spinacia oleracea) chloroplasts by exogenous NADP-linked nonreversible d-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.9) was investigated. This dehydrogenase mediated a glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate/glycerate 3-phosphate shuttle for the indirect transfer of NADPH from chloroplast to the external medium. The rate of NADPH formation in the medium reflected glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate efflux from the chloroplast. Increasing enzyme concentrations stimulated NADP reduction and, in turn, CO(2) fixation. Pyrophosphate increased CO(2) fixation by apparently inhibiting glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate efflux. Increasing the glycerate 3-phosphate concentration above 0.1 mm stimulated glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate efflux but inhibited CO(2) fixation. Addition of up to 0.5 mm orthophosphate enhanced both glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate efflux and CO(2) fixation while each was inhibited by higher orthophosphate concentrations. The mechanism by which the extent of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate efflux regulated the rate of CO(2) fixation in chloroplasts was discussed. 相似文献

After dark-light transitions, there is a delay in photosynthetic CO 2 fixation by isolated pea chloroplasts in the range of some minutes. In order to assess the physiological significance of light modulation of enzyme activity in the control of induction, we made estimates of the kinetic parameters of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase immediately upon release from pea chloroplasts in the dark and after illumination for various time periods. The Michaelis constant for fructose-1,6-bisphosphate decreased and maximal velocities increased during induction. It seems likely that light activation of this enzyme is one of the factors contributing to the overcoming of the lag period in photosynthetic CO 2 fixation. 相似文献

Disalicylidenepropanediamine (DSPD) at 0.1 to 1 mm levels inhibited light-dependent (14)CO(2) assimilation in intact spinach chloroplasts about 50 to 80%, and this inhibition was accompanied by an increased ratio of (14)C-glycerate 3-phosphate to (14)C-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. Enzymatic analysis established that DSPD also inhibited the light-dependent reduction of glycerate 3-phosphate in intact spinach chloroplasts. DSPD at 0.5 mm did not inhibit ribose 5-phosphate isomerase, ribulose 5-phosphate kinase, glycerate 3-phosphate kinase, NADP(+)-linked glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase or ribulose 1,5-diphosphate carboxylase. The inhibition of chloroplast (14)CO(2) assimilation by DSPD appeared to be related to the inhibition of the photosynthetic electron transport chain. These observations are consistent with experimental results which demonstrated that DSPD inhibited directly the chloroplast lamellar membrane-mediated, light-dependent reduction of ferredoxin (Trebst, A. and M. Burba, 1967, Z. Pflanzenphysiol. 57: 419-433 and Ben-Amotz, A. and M. Avron, 1972, Plant Physiol. 49: 244-248). 相似文献

Photosynthetic oxygen evolution by a reconstituted chloroplast system utilising sn-phospho-3-glycerol (3-phosphoglycerate) ceases upon the addition of ribose 5-phosphate even though the presence of this metabolite permits a rapid and immediate CO2 fixation. The period of cessation is appreciable at 0.1 mM ribose 5-phosphate. It is lengthened as the amount of added ribose 5-phosphate is increased and by the addition of dithiothreitol, a known activator of ribulose-5-phosphate kinase. Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate is without effect. A similar interruption of O2 evolution may also be brought about by the addition of ADP or by ADP-generating systems such as glucose plus hexokinase. Spectrophotometric experiments indicate that the reoxidation of NADPH in the presence of sn-phospho-3-glycerol is similarly affected. The transient inhibition by ribose 5-phosphate is not observed in the presence of an active ATP-generating system or in the presence of sufficient DL-glyceraldehyde to inhibit ribulose-5-phosphate kinase activity. It is concluded that ribose 5-phosphate inhibits photosynthetic O2 evolution by adversely affecting the steady-state ATP/ADP ratio and consequently the reduction of sn-phospho-3-glycerol to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. The results are discussed in their relation to ADP regulation of photosynthetic carbon assimilation and metabolite transport. 相似文献

Inhibitor experiments indicate that photosynthetic electron transport is required for light activation of the pea ( Pisum sativum) leaf chloroplast enzymes NADP-linked glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, NADP-linked malic dehydrogenase, ribulose-5-phosphate kinase and sedoheptulose-1,7-diphosphate phosphatase, and for inactivation of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. Modulation of the activity of the dehydrogenases and kinase apparently involves a component preceding ferredoxin in the photosynthetic electron transport chain; activation of the phosphatase involves an electron transport component at the level of ferredoxin. Modulation of enzyme activity can be obtained in a broken chloroplast system consisting of membrane fragments and stromal extract. The capacity for light regulation in this system is reduced or eliminated when the membrane fraction is exposed to arsenite in the light or to sulfite in light or dark. Light-generated vicinal-dithiols seem therefore to be involved in modulation of the activity of the enzymes included in this study. 相似文献

In order to study the relative contributions of the autocatalytic increase in the level of substrates and the light activation of enzymes to the control of the induction phase or “lag” in wheat chloroplasts, we measured the light-induced reductive activation of fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase, phosphoglycerate kinase, NADP +-dependent glyceraldehyde-phosphate dehydrogenase, ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase, and phosphoribulokinase in isolated chloroplasts. Each was rapidly activated to levels more than adequate to support the maximum rate of photosynthesis. Induction in wheat chloroplasts is characterized by a period of about 1 min during which no O 2 is evolved. If small quantities of intermediates such as dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) or 3-phosphoglycerate (PGA) are added, maximum rates of photosynthesis are achieved within the first minute of illumination. The presence of PGA did not affect the activation of any of the above-mentioned enzymes. Each of the enzymes was therefore capable of sustaining maximum rates of photosynthesis in the presence of PGA, even though there was no O 2 evolution from those chloroplasts incubated with CO 2 alone as substrate. The inclusion of PGA did not give rise to abnormally high levels of DHAP, FBP, or fructose 6-phosphate in the stroma. We conclude that the levels of substrates or cofactors are the principal, if not the sole, determinants of the rate of photosynthetic carbon assimilation during induction in wheat chloroplasts. 相似文献

Redox modulation is a general mechanism for enzyme regulation, particularly for the post-translational regulation of the Calvin cycle in chloroplasts of green plants. Although red algae and photosynthetic protists that harbor plastids of red algal origin contribute greatly to global carbon fixation, relatively little is known about post-translational regulation of chloroplast enzymes in this important group of photosynthetic eukaryotes. To address this question, we used biochemistry, phylogenetics and analysis of recently completed genome sequences. We studied the functionality of the chloroplast enzymes phosphoribulokinase (PRK, EC 2.7.1.19), NADP-dependent glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (NADP-GAPDH, GapA, EC 1.2.1.13), fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase, EC 3.1.3.11) and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH, EC 1.1.1.49), as well as NADP-malate dehydrogenase (NADP-MDH, EC 1.1.1.37) in the unicellular red alga Galdieria sulphuraria (Galdieri) Merola. Despite high sequence similarity of G. sulphuraria proteins to those of other photosynthetic organisms, we found a number of distinct differences. Both PRK and GAPDH co-eluted with CP12 in a high molecular weight complex in the presence of oxidized glutathione, although Galdieria CP12 lacks the two cysteines essential for the formation of the N-terminal peptide loop present in higher plants. However, PRK inactivation upon complex formation turned out to be incomplete. G6PDH was redox modulated, but remained in its tetrameric form; FBPase was poorly redox regulated, despite conservation of the two redox-active cysteines. No indication for the presence of plastidic NADP-MDH (and other components of the malate valve) was found. 相似文献

The ability of envelope-free spinach chloroplasts to carry out self-sufficient CO 2-dependent O 2 evolution at rapid rates has recently been made possible by the appropriate addition of cofactors, coenzymes, unfractionated stromal protein, and purified ferredoxin. Comparable enzymic reconstitution is now reported in which photosynthetic oxygen evolution depends upon the presence of ribose 5-phosphate and purified protein fractions which collectively catalyze its conversion to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. The levels of these enzymes (phosphoriboisomerase, phosphoribulokinase, ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase, 3-phosphoglycerate kinase and NADP-specific triose phosphate dehydrogenase) in intact spinach chloroplasts have also been measured and all but that of 3-phosphoglycerate kinase shown to be substantially higher than those originally reported for the parent tissue. The results are discussed in their relation to the feasibility of complete enzymic reconstitution of carbon assimilation in a chloroplast system capable of normal rates of photosynthesis and its possible role in future evaluation of photosynthetic regulation. 相似文献

Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) is not able to achieve and maintain adequate CO 2 and Mg 2+ activation under physiological conditions. Higher plants and green algae contain Rubisco activase, a soluble protein which not only facilitates Rubisco activation in situ but also regulates enzyme activity in response to irradiance and other factors. Regulation of Rubisco activity by modulation of activation state coordinates the rate of CO 2 fixation with the rate of substrate regeneration. This regulation may be required to ensure that the levels of photosynthetic metabolites in the chloroplast are optimal for photosynthesis under a variety of environrmental conditions. Some plant species also appear to regulate Rubisco activity by synthesizing 2-carboxyarabinitol 1-phosphate, an inhibitor of Rubisco in the dark. This inhibitor may function primarily as a regulator of metabolite binding in the dark rather than as a modulator of Rubisco activity in the light. 相似文献

The Emerson enhancement effect was evaluated in the intact spinach (Spinacia oleracea var. Long Standing Bloomsdale) chloroplast by monitoring the uptake of (14)CO(2) during illumination by 640 nm and 720 nm lights. Low levels (about 10 mum) of fructose 1,6-diphosphate, ribose 5-phosphate, and glycerate 3-phosphate stimulated the rate of photosynthesis and abolished enhancement values observed in their absence. Concentrations of the two sugar phosphates at levels of 1 mm responded similarly. In contrast, 1 mm glycerate 3-phosphate inhibited the rate of photosynthesis and increased enhancement. The exchange of glycerate 3-phosphate for glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate was speculated to be a factor underlying the decrease in photosynthesis and the increase in enhancement. Glucose 6-phosphate, NADPH, and l-malate did not influence photosynthesis or enhancement.The uncoupler, p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone, decreased the rate of photosynthesis but did not change the enhancement values. ATP (0.2 to 1 mm) had an occasional stimulating effect on CO(2) fixation but no effect on enhancement. Magnesium ions inhibited photosynthesis and decreased the enhancement values. It was concluded that the enhancement phenomenon reflects events of the photosynthetic carbon reduction cycle as well as the photochemical act. 相似文献

Abstract Unlike wheat chloroplasts, wheat protoplasts showed a pronounced restoration of the induction phase after a short period of darkness. This difference was used to investigate the relative roles of light-induced reductive activation of enzymes and the auto-catalytic increase in the level of substrates in the control of the rate of photosynthesis during induction. Light activation and dark inactivation of ribulose 5-phosphate kinase, fructose 1,6-biphosphatase and NADP +-specific glyceraldehydephosphate dehydrogenase were measured. In this respect there was no appreciable difference between protoplasts and chloroplasts. In contrast, the level of photosynthetic intermediates remained constant in darkened isolated chloroplasts, but declined rapidly in chloroplasts isolated from darkened protoplasts. When fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase was pre-activated by treating protoplasts with dithiothreitol the lag was only slightly shortened. These results are discussed in terms of control of the rate of the photosynthesis during the lag by substrates rather than limitation imposed by activity of any of the enzymes measured. 相似文献

Photosynthetic CO 2-fixation in isolated pea ( Pisum sativum L., cv Little Marvel) chloroplasts during induction is markedly inhibited by 0.4 millimolar sulfite. Sulfate at the same concentration has almost no effect. The 14CO 2-fixation pattern indicates that the primary effect of sulfite is inhibition of the reaction catalyzed by ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase and a stimulation of export of intermediates out of the chloroplasts. Inhibition of light modulation of stromal enzyme activity does not appear to account for the toxicity of SO 2 in this Pisum variety. Arsenite at 0.2 millimolar concentrations inhibits light activation and inhibits photosynthetic CO 2 fixation. The 14CO 2-fixation pattern indicates that the primary effect of arsenite is inhibition of light activation of reductive pentose phosphate pathway enzyme activity. 相似文献

Dark activation of light-inactivated glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase was inhibited by catalase in a broken pea chloroplast system. Partially purified glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase from pea leaf chloroplasts can be inactivated in vitro by dithiothreitol and thioredoxin and reactivated by H 2O 2. The in vitro activation by H 2O 2 was not enhanced by horseradish peroxidase, and dark activation in the broken chloroplast system was only slightly inhibited by NaCN. These results indicate that the dark activation of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase may involve oxidation by H 2O 2 of SH groups on the enzyme which were reduced in the light by the light effect mediator system. 相似文献

1. Mesophyll and parenchyma-sheath chloroplasts of maize leaves were separated by density fractionation in non-aqueous media. 2. An investigation of the distribution of photosynthetic enzymes indicated that the mesophyll chloroplasts probably contain the entire leaf complement of pyruvate,P(i) dikinase, NADP-specific malate dehydrogenase, glycerate kinase and nitrite reductase and most of the adenylate kinase and pyrophosphatase. The fractionation pattern of phosphopyruvate carboxylase suggested that this enzyme may be associated with the bounding membrane of mesophyll chloroplasts. 3. Ribulose diphosphate carboxylase, ribose phosphate isomerase, phosphoribulokinase, fructose diphosphate aldolase, alkaline fructose diphosphatase and NADP-specific ;malic' enzyme appear to be wholly localized in the parenchyma-sheath chloroplasts. Phosphoglycerate kinase and NADP-specific glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase, on the other hand, are distributed approximately equally between the two types of chloroplast. 4. After exposure of illuminated leaves to (14)CO(2) for 25sec., labelled malate, aspartate and 3-phosphoglycerate had similar fractionation patterns, and a large proportion of each was isolated with mesophyll chloroplasts. Labelled fructose phosphates and ribulose phosphates were mainly isolated in fractions containing parenchyma-sheath chloroplasts, and dihydroxyacetone phosphate had a fractionation pattern intermediate between those of C(4) dicarboxylic acids and sugar phosphates. 6. These results indicate that the mesophyll and parenchyma-sheath chloroplasts have a co-operative function in the operation of the C(4)-dicarboxylic acid pathway. Possible routes for the transfer of carbon from C(4) dicarboxylic acids to sugars are discussed. 相似文献

1. Measurements were made of photosynthetic CO 2 fixation and O 2 evolution by spinach chloroplasts isolated in sorbitol media containing 2-( N-morpholino)ethanesulphonate (MES). 2. The chloroplasts isolated in MES-sorbitol media exhibited induction phenomena which were similar to those shown by chloroplasts isolated in orthophosphate-sugar mixtures. Added ribose 5-phosphate shortened the lags which preceded the attainment of maximal rates of CO2 fixation and O2 evolution. O2 evolution reached its maximum rate almost immediately in the presence of 3-phosphoglycerate. Induction periods were shortened by pre-illumination of the parent tissue prior to separation of the chloroplasts. 3. In the absence of added substrate (other than CO2) lags exhibited by chloroplasts isolated in MES-sorbitol were shorter than those observed with chloroplasts prepared in orthophosphate-sorbitol. These shorter lags could be extended by briefly exposing the chloroplasts to sugar media containing orthophosphate, malate or acetate or to Tris-NaCl. 4. The results are discussed in relation to photosynthetic induction phenomena and current methods of chloroplast isolation. 相似文献

The patterns of light activation of 4 chloroplastic enzymes were examined in mesophyll protoplasts of pea ( Pisum sativum ) in the absence or presence of oligomycin (inhibitor of oxidative phosphorylation) or antimycin A (inhibitor of cytochrome pathway) or salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM, inhibitor of alternative pathway). The results were compared with those of DCMU (inhibitor of photosynthetic electron transport). The light activation of NADP glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (NADP-GAPDH), fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase), phosphoribulokinase (PRK) (enzymes of the Calvin cycle) and NADP malate dehydrogenase (NADP-MDH) (reflects chloroplast redox state) was more pronounced at limiting CO 2 (0.1 m M NaHCO 3) than that at optimal CO 2 (1.0 m M NaHCO 3). SHAM decreased markedly (up to 33%) the light activation of all 4 enzymes, while antimycin A or oligomycin exerted only a limited effect (<10% decrease). Antimycin A or oligomycin or SHAM had no significant effect on light activation of these 4 enzymes in isolated chloroplasts. However, DCMU caused a remarkable decrease in light activation of enzymes in both protoplasts (up to 78%) and chloroplasts (up to 69%). These results suggest that the restriction of alternative pathway of mitochondrial metabolism results in a marked decrease in the light activation of key chloroplastic enzymes in mesophyll protoplasts but not in isolated chloroplasts. Such a decrease in the light activation of enzymes could be also a secondary feedback effect because of the restriction on carbon assimilation. 相似文献

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) from pea chloroplasts has at least two interconvertible kinetic states which differ from one another in their catalytic activities (‘hyperactive’ and ‘hypoactive’ forms). Preincubation of chloroplast extracts with 10 mM glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) led to the accumulation of a ‘hyperactive’ G6PDH form which exhibited a burst of activity at the start of the assay; steady state was reached after a period of several minutes. Preincubation of the pea chloroplast extracts in the absence of G6P resulted in the formation of a ‘hypoactive’ enzyme from which exhibited a lag during the assay. Steady state was reached after several minutes. The enzyme activity in the steady state was the same for both forms. The length of the lag (τ) was inversely related to the concentration of G6DH and substrate concentration. These results show that the G6PDH of pea chloroplasts, like the enzyme of cyanobacteria, behaves as a hysteretic enzyme. 相似文献

The kinetics of the two enzyme phosphoglycerate kinase (EC 2.7.2.3)/NADP-linked glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.13) couple are negatively cooperative and will also fit a model for two enzymes acting on one substrate. When the chloroplast is illuminated apparent negative cooperativity is reduced; maximal velocity of only one of the two enzymes in the two-enzyme model is increased. Even after light activation the activity of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase appears to be too low to support photosynthesis at calculated levels of glycerate-1,3-bisphosphate in isolated chloroplasts (Marques, I.A., Ford, D.M., Muschinek, G. and Anderson, L.E. (1987) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 252, 458–466). The activity of the coupled reaction is apparently sufficient to support observed rates of CO 2 fixation, which suggests that glycerate-1,3-bisphosphate may be channeled from the kinase to the dehydrogenase in vivo. 相似文献

A cDNA fragment coding for the pea (Pisum sativum L.) chloroplastic glyceraldehyde-3-P dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.13) B-subunit and a truncated form corresponding in length to the A-subunit have been cloned into an expression vector, expressed in the absence of the A-subunit in a gap- Escherichia coli strain, purified, and studied. Like the isolated enzyme from higher plant chloroplasts, the recombinant enzymes have dual specificity for NADPH and NADH. The recombinant glyceraldehyde-3-P dehydrogenases have the same optimal pH as the enzyme isolated from pea chloroplasts. Like the native chloroplast enzyme, the recombinant B-subunit has a marked tendency to form large aggregates, whereas the truncated B-subunit exists as the tetramer. The recombinant B-subunit glyceraldehyde 3-P dehydrogenase is more sensitive to dithiothreitol than its truncated form. It seems likely that a different pair of cysteines is responsible for the redox sensitivity of the activity of the enzyme composed of B-subunits than the cysteine residues implicated in the modulation of the activity of the enzyme composed of A-subunits by previous work in this laboratory. 相似文献
