چکیده

The activation level of ribulosebisphosphate carboxylase following preincubation with ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate was increased by ATP and ribulosebisphosphate carboxylase activase in the absence of thylakoids or illumination. Maximal activation was obtained with 0.5 millimolar ATP in the presence of an ATP regenerating system (phosphoenolpyruvate and pyruvate kinase). Without the ATP regenerating system, activation was lower, linearly dependent on ATP concentration up to 1.0 millimolar, and was strongly inhibited by ADP.

Purification and assay of rubisco activase from leaves.

Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (rubisco) activase protein was purified from spinach leaves by ammonium sulfate precipitation and ion exchange fast protein liquid chromatography. This resulted in 48-fold purification with 70% recovery of activity and yielded up to 18 milligrams of rubisco activase protein from 100 grams of leaves. Based on these figures, the protein comprised ap...

Activation of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (rubisco) by rubisco activase : effects of some sugar phosphates.

The activation of purified ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (rubisco) has been studied in the presence of sugar phosphates, and the effect of rubisco activase on this process determined. During an 11-minute time course at pH 7.7 and 11 micromolar CO(2), the activation of rubisco was strongly inhibited by ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (4 millimolar), fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (1 milli...

Electron Transport through photosystem I Stimulates Light Activation of Ribulose Bisphosphate Carboxylase/Oxygenase (Rubisco) by Rubisco Activase.

The activation state of ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (rubisco) in a lysed chloroplast system is increased by light in the presence of a saturating concentration of ATP and a physiological concentration of CO(2) (10 micromolar). Electron transport inhibitors and artificial electron donors and acceptors were used to determine in which region of the photosynthetic electron transport...

Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase activase protein prevents the in vitro decline in activity of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase.

The rate of CO(2) fixation by ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (rubisco) following addition of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) to fully activated enzyme, declined with first-order kinetics, resulting in 50% loss of rubisco activity after 10 to 12 minutes. This in vitro decline in rubisco activity, termed fall-over, was prevented if purified rubisco activase protein and ATP were ...

Structure and expression of spinach leaf cDNA encoding ribulosebisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase activase.

Ribulosebisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase activase is a recently discovered enzyme that catalyzes the activation of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase ["rubisco"; ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase; 3-phospho-D-glycerate carboxy-lyase (dimerizing), EC 4.1.1.39] in vivo. Clones of rubisco activase cDNA were isolated immunologically from spinach (Spinacea oleracea L.) and Arabidopsis...
