摘要: Arabidopsis Rubisco activase was recently shown to be regulated by redox changes in the larger (46-kDa) isoform specifically mediated thioredoxin-f [Zhang and Portis (1999) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 96: 9438–9443]. Reduction greatly increases activity of 46-kDa native protein at physiological ATP/ADP ratios. In this study we conducted additional experiments characterize regulation thioredoxin-f. The Km for both ATP hydrolysis activation lowered 4 5-fold after reduction, but maximum increased only 10%. Only 0.35 μM required a half-maximal change 10 min preincubation with 1 complete min. Equal amounts 43-kDa isoforms were inhibition reduction-oxidation cycle assay an ratio 3:1, whereas inhibited 50% 2:1 (43-/46-kDa) isoforms. This requirement is consistent fact that normally contains about 1:1 two mRNA levels. Redox titrations indicated midpoint potential −344 mV as compared −342 spinach fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase pH 7.9, previous reports indicating these proteins are co-regulated light intensity similar manner.
