A Rapid Increase in Spinach Leaf Fructose 2,6-Bisphosphate Occurs during a Light to Dark Transition.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spinach leaf fructose 2,6-bisphosphate levels increase rapidly during the first 15 minutes of a normal dark period followed by a gradual decline during the next 5 hours. The regulatory mechanism responsible for the dark-induced rise in fructose 2,6-bisphosphate levels can be counteracted by a brief exposure to light intensities greater than 1 microeinstein per square meter per second.

A Role for Fructose 2,6-Bisphosphate in the Regulation of Sucrose Synthesis in Spinach
The subceliular distribution of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate in spinach (Spinacia oleracea) leaves was studied using nonaqueous fractionation, showing that all, or almost all, is located in the cytosol. The amount of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate present in leaves during the diurnal cycle was measured and compared to the accumulation of starch and sucrose, and the amounts of selected phosphorylated in...
متن کاملRelationship between Fructose 2,6-Bisphosphate and Carbohydrate Metabolism in Darkened Barley Primary Leaves.
Initial dark fructose 2,6-bisphosphate levels in 10-day-old barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) leaves increased when the photosynthetic period was lengthened, when the temperature during the prior photosynthetic period was reduced, and following leaf excision. These treatments also increased the leaf sucrose concentration. Conversely, a decrease in dark fructose 2,6,-bisphosphate occurred during exten...
متن کاملEvidence for control of carbon partitioning by fructose 2,6-bisphosphate in spinach leaves.
Excision of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) leaves had no effect on photosynthetic rates, but altered normal carbon partitioning to favor increased formation of starch and decreased formation of sucrose. The changes were evident within 2 hours after excision. Concurrently, leaf fructose-2,6-bisphosphate content increased about 5-fold (from 0.1 to 0.5 nanomoles per gram fresh weight). The activit...
متن کاملEnzyme regulation in c(4) photosynthesis : identification and localization of activities catalyzing the synthesis and hydrolysis of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate in corn leaves.
Activities catalyzing the synthesis of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (fructose-6-phosphate,2-kinase or Fru-6-P,2K) and its breakdown (fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase or Fru-2,6-P(2)ase) were identified in leaves of corn (Zea mays), a C(4) plant. Fru-6-P,2K and Fru-2,6-P(2)ase were both localized mainly, if not entirely, in the leaf mesophyll cells. A partially purified preparation containing the two ac...
متن کاملFructose 2,6-bisphosphate hydrolyzing enzymes in higher plants.
The phosphatases that hydrolyze fructose 2,6-bisphosphate in a crude spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) leaf extract were separated by chromatography on blue Sepharose, into three fractions, referred to as phosphatases I, II, and III, which were further purified by various means. Phosphatase I hydrolyzed fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, with a K(m) value of 30 micromolar, to a mixture of fructose 2-phosp...
