Simultaneous kinetic analysis of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase activities.

چکیده
An assay was developed for simultaneous kinetic analysis of the activities of the bifunctional plant enzyme ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase [EC 4.1.1.39]. [1-(14)C,5-(3)H]Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) was used as the labeled substrate. Tritium enrichment of the doubly labeled 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA) product, common to both enzyme activities, may be used to calculate V(c)/V(o) ratios from the expression A/(B-A) where A and B represent the (3)H/(14)C isotope ratios of doubly labeled RuBP and 3-PGA, and V(c) and V(o) represent the activities of carboxylase and oxygenase, respectively. Doubly labeled substrate was synthesized from [2-(14)C]glucose and [6-(3)H]glucose using the enzymes of the pentose phosphate pathway coupled with phosphoribulokinase.The kinetic properties of a commercial preparation of fully activated spinach carboxylase were studied under approximated physiological conditions of 20% O(2) (252 micromolar), 295 mul/l CO(2) (10 micromolar), 25 C, and pH 8.19. The V(c)/V(o) ratio was, within experimental error, constant at 30 seconds and 1 minute. This double label assay method may be used to calculate V(c)/V(o) ratios for the Laing-Ogren-Hageman equation, V(c)/V(o) = (V(c)K(o)/V(o)K(c)) ([CO(2)]/[O(2)]) where V(c) and V(o) represent V(max), and K(c) and K(o) represent Michaelis constants for the carboxylase and oxygenase activities, respectively.

Exchange Properties of the Activator CO(2) of Spinach Ribulose-1,5-Bisphosphate Carboxylase/Oxygenase.
The exchange properties of the activator CO(2) of spinach ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase were characterized both in vitro with the purified enzyme, and in situ within isolated chloroplasts. Carboxyarabinitol-1,5-bisphosphate, a proposed reaction intermediate analog for the carboxylase activity of the enzyme, was used to trap the activator CO(2) on the enzyme both in vitro and i...

The small subunit (S) increases the catalytic efficiency of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (EC 4.1.1.39) by stabilizing the active sites generated by four large subunit (L) dimers. This stabilization appears to be due to an influence of S on the reaction intermediate 2,3-enediol, which is formed after the abstraction of a proton from the substrate ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate. We ...

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 ...
