RESUMO
An important question concerning the role of carboxyarabinitol 1-phosphate (CA1P) metabolism in the light-dependent regulation of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) activity is the extent to which CA1P is bound to Rubisco in vivo. We report here the development of an extraction procedure using ammonium sulfate that stabilizes CA1P bound to Rubisco. This procedure exploits the ability of sulfate to bind at the catalytic site of Rubisco and to competitively balance the binding and release of CA1P from Rubisco. In darkened bean leaves about 75% of the Rubisco catalytic sites were found to be bound with CA1P. This confirms previous indirect estimates from gas exchange measurements. We have used this extraction procedure to examine CA1P-Rubisco interactions in bean during a natural transition from darkness to light. With increasing light intensity following sunrise, CA1P degradation proceeded in two distinct phases: first, a majority of the unbound CA1P pool was degraded at very low light levels ([less than or equal to]30 [mu]mol quanta m-2 s-1); second, CA1P initially bound to Rubisco was then degraded at increasing light levels (>30 [mu]mol quanta m-2 s-1). These results indicate that there is a low-fluence activation of CA1P phosphatase that can occur prior to CA1P release by Rubisco activase. This activation may be mediated by NADPH. During sunrise in bean, the level of the catalytically competent form of Rubisco was regulated by CA1P metabolism.
