摘要
One of the unsolved problems in plant biochemistry has been the identification of the regulatory cysteines in the reductively light-activated and -inactivated chloroplast enzymes. Homology modeling based on the sequences of these enzymes and the three-dimensional structures of homologous enzymes has now allowed tentative identification of the redox-sensitive Cys residues in four light-activated chloroplast enzymes. In each case the regulatory disulfides are not positioned in the active site but instead appeal to be positioned so as to affect the flexibility or the conformation of the enzyme, and thereby to affect catalysis. In glyceraldehyde-3-P dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase inter-domain movement would be restricted. In fructose bisphosphatase and sedoheptulose bisphosphatase the regulatory Cys residues are located on the nucleotide binding domain iri a region Known to be sensitive to nit allosteric effector of other fructose bisphosphatases. Results of site-directed mutagenesis experiments to date are in general agreement with the domain-locking hypothesis. The redox sensitivity of a number of cytosolic enzymes suggests that reductive modulation might occur outside of the chloroplast in leaves, and in the roots, stems and germinating seeds of green plants. Our better understanding of the mechanism of redox regulation may lead to new approaches for the regulation of enzyme activity with biotechnological applications.
