PG - 507-12 LID - 10.1007/BF00398096 [doi] AB - Homogeneous phosphoribulokinase (PRK; ATP: D-ribulose-5-phosphate 1-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.19) was isolated from wheat leaves with a specific activity of 15 mukat mg(-1) protein. The purification included ammonium sulfate cuts, isoelectric precipitation, and hydrophobic and affinity chromatography on pentylagarose and Blue Sepharose CL 6B, respectively. Gel filtration of the purified enzyme yielded a 83000 Da protein. Subunits of about 42000 Da were estimated from sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. Wheat leaf PRK was stable for at least four weeks when stored at 4 degrees C. Saturation curves for ribulose 5-phosphate (Ru5P) and ATP followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics (K m values: K m Ru5P=50-80 muM; K m ATP=70 muM). The saturation curve for MgCl2 was sigmoidal (half-maximal velocity <0.5 mM). The affinity for Ru5P, ATP and Mg(2+) was not affected by pH changes comparable to pH shifts in the stroma. In contrast to chloroplast fructose-bisphosphatase (Zimmermann et al. 1976, Eur. J. Biochem. 70, 361-367) the affinity for ligands remained unchanged in the dithiothreitol-activated and in the non-activated state. The activity of PRK was increasingly sensitive to inhibition by 3-phosphoglyceric acid with decreasing pH below pH 8.0.
