RESUMO
ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase from spinach leaves has been purified to homogeneity by hydrophobic chromatography carried out in 1 molar phosphate buffer. After polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the preparation showed only one protein staining band that coincided with a single activity stain. The enzyme appears to be composed of two subunits with molecular weights of 44,000 and 48,000, respectively, as determined by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Thus ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase of spinach appears to be comprised of subunits which are similar in size to the subunits of ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase isolated from bacterial sources. In contrast, a subunit molecular weight of 96,000 has been reported for the maize endosperm ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase (Fuchs RL and JO Smith 1979 Biochim Biophys Acta 556: 40-48). The purified enzyme retains similar allosteric and catalytic properties as reported previously and is more sensitive to phosphate inhibition under “dark”-simulated conditions than under “light”-simulated conditions.
