Abstract: | Cold lability was found to be responsible for the initial failure to detect pyruvate kinase activity in extracts of the facultative phototroph, Rhodopseudomonas capsulata. Taking advantage of the reversal of cold inactivation by high concentrations of monovalent cations, the enzyme could be partially purified by (NH4)2SO4-precipitation and gelfiltration. In contrast to the enzyme from Rhodospirillum rubrum, the pyruvate kinase from R. capsulata is nearly insensitive to inorganic phosphate. Instead, it is susceptible to allosteric inhibition by fumarate. Adenosinemonophosphate and sugar phosphates as activators prevent the inhibitory action of fumarate. |
