Temperature features of enzymes affecting crassulacean Acid metabolism.

چکیده
Enzymes involved in malic acid production via a pathway with 2 carboxylation reactions and in malic acid conversion via total oxidation have been demonstrated in mitochondria of Bryophyllum tubiflorum Harv. Activation of the mitochondria by Tween 40 was necessary to reveal part of the enzyme activities. The temperature behavior of the enzymes has been investigated, revealing optimal activity of acid-producing enzymes at 35 degrees . Even at 53 degrees the optimum for acid-converting enzymes was not yet reached. From the simultaneous action of acid-producing and acid-converting enzyme systems the overall result at different temperatures was established. Up to 15 degrees the net result was a malic acid production. Moderate temperatures brought about a decrease in this accumulation, which was partly accompanied by a shift to isocitrate production, while at higher temperatures total oxidation of the acids exceeded the production.

The intracellular locations of six key enzymes of Crassulacean acid metabolism were determined using enzymically isolated mesophyll protoplasts of Sedum praealtum D.C. Data from isopycnic sucrose density gradient centrifugation established the chloroplastic location of pyruvate Pi dikinase, the mitochondrial location of NAD-linked malic enzyme, and exclusively nonparticulate (not associated wit...
متن کاملLight modulation of the activity of carbon metabolism enzymes in the crassulacean Acid metabolism plant kalanchoë.
When intact Kalanchoë plants are illuminated NADP-linked malic dehydrogenase and three enzymes of the reductive pentose phosphate pathway, ribulose-5-phosphate kinase, NADP-linked glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and sedoheptulose-1,7-diphosphate phosphatase, are activated. In crude extracts these enzymes are activated by dithiothreitol treatment. Light or dithiothreitol treatment does...
متن کاملVariation in the carbon isotope composition of a plant with crassulacean Acid metabolism.
The content of (13)C varies in plants with Crassulacean acid metabolism. Differences up to 3.5 per thousand in the (13)C/(12)C ratios were observed between leaves of different age in the same plant of Bryophyllum daigremontianum. Soluble and insoluble carbon in the same leaf differed up to 8 per thousand, the largest difference occurring in the leaves with the highest Crassulacean acid metaboli...

Isotope ratios of cellulose and cellulose nitrate from aquatic Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) and non-CAM plants were determined. Cellulose oxygen istope ratios for all plants that grew together were virtually identical, whereas large differences were observed for hydrogen isotope ratios of cellulose nitrate between CAM and non-CAM plants. Carbon isotope ratios of cellulose nitrate did not ...
