Abstract: | Summary Tests for enzymes of gluconeogenesis and of the synthesis and degradation of sucrose and polysaccharides have been carried out in the phloem exudate of Cucurbita pepo. All the enzymes which are necessary for the synthesis of sucrose and polysaccharides from metabolites of the citric acid cycle were found to be present in the exudate, except phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase. The polysaccharide synthetase was found to exhibit higher activity with glycogen (which is an unnatural polysaccharide in higher plants) than with starch. In addition, polysaccharide synthetase activity could be increased remarkably with 2 mM glucose-6-phosphate and glycogen as primer. Among the enzymes which catabolize sucrose and polysaccharides (phosphorylase, invertase, sucrose phosphorylase), only sucrose phosphorylase showed activity. |
