Popis: Inhibitor experiments indicate that light effect mediatorII which is reductively activated by transfer of electrons from the photosynthetic electron transport system at or beyond ferredoxin, is involved in activation by light of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase in the pea plant. Activation proceeds optimally when the pH is low and Mg2+ is 10 millimolar. Modulation by light results in increases in maximal velocity, apparently as a result of changes in enzyme conformation. Pea leaf thylakoids are effective in modulating the activity of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase but not of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase or glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in Kalanchoe stromal extracts. There is apparently species specificity for modulation of some, but not all, of the modulatable enzymes.
