Popis: The regulation of 2-carboxyarabinitol 1-phosphatase (CA 1-Pase) by phosphorylated effectors was studied with enzyme purified from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) leaves. CA 1-Pase activity was most stimulated by fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, exhibiting an A(0.5) value of 1.9 millimolar and a 10-fold enhancement of catalysis. With ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate, the A(0.5) was 0.6 millimolar, and maximal stimulation of activity was 5.3-fold. Among the monophosphates, 3-phosphoglycerate and phosphoglycolate were more potent positive effectors than glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, glucose 1-phosphate, glucose 6-phosphate, and dihydroxyacetone phosphate. Stimulation of CA 1-Pase by ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate and fructose 1,6-bisphosphate increased V(max) but did not appreciably alter K(m) (2-carboxyarabinitol 1-phosphate) values. Inorganic phosphate appeared to inhibit CA 1-Pase noncompetitively with respect to 2-carboxyarabinitol 1-phosphate, exhibiting a K(i) of 0.3 millimolar. The results suggest that these positive and negative effectors bind to a regulatory site on CA 1-Pase and may have a physiologial role in the light regulation of this enzyme. Related experiments with CA 1-Pase inactivated by dialysis in the absence of dithiothreitol show that partial reactivation can be achieved in the presence of a range of reducing reagents, including dithiothreitol, cysteine, and reduced glutathione. This could imply an ancillary involvement of sulfhydryl reduction during light activation of CA 1-Pase in vivo. The enzyme was thermally stable up to 35 degrees C, in contrast to ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase activase which lost activity above 30 degrees C. The activation energy for CA 1-Pase was calculated to be 56.14 kilojoules per mole.
