RESUMO
The conversion of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate to glycerate-3-phosphate (PGA) was studied in a reconstituted spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) chloroplast preparation to determine whether a chloroplast-localized NAB(P)H-oxidizing system (Kow, Smyth, Gibbs 1982 Plant Physiol 69: 72-76 with substrates of ascorbate, NAD(P)H, and H2O2 could serve as a coupling enzyme in the recycling of NAD(P)H. The rate of PGA formation was monitored as an indicator of NAD(P) generation. With NAD as a cofactor, ascorbate enhanced PGA formation, and an additional increase resulted upon addition of glucose-glucose oxidase, a H2O2-generating enzyme. This increase in PGA formation due to H2O2 was eliminated by the addition of catalase. With NADP and ferredoxin as cofactors, the recycling of NADP apparently was catalyzed both by ferredoxin-NADP reductase coupled to O2 and by the NAD(P)H-oxidizing system.
