RESUMO

2-Carboxyarabinitol 1-phosphate limits photosynthetic CO2 assimilation at low light because it is a potent, naturally occurring inhibitor of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase. Evidence is presented that this inhibitor is derived from chloroplastic fructose 1,6-bisphosphate. First, transgenic plants containing decreased amounts of chloroplastic fructose 1,6-bisphosphate phosphatase contained increased amounts of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate and 2-carboxyarabinitol 1-phosphate and greatly increased amounts of the putative intermediates hamamelose and 2-carboxyarabinitol, which in some cases were as abundant as sucrose. Second, French bean leaves in the light were shown to incorporate 14C from 14CO2 sequentially into fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, hamamelose bisphosphate, hamamelose monophosphate, hamamelose, and 2-carboxyarabinitol. As shown previously, 14C assimilated by photosynthesis was also incorporated into 2-carboxyarabinitol 1-phosphate during subsequent darkness.
