Properties of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) carboxylase (EC 4.1.1.31) obtained from isolated guard-cell protoplasts of Vicia faba L. were determined following rapidly desalting of the extract on a Sephadex G 25 column. The activity of PEP carboxylase was measured as a function of PEP and malate concentration, pH and K(+) concentration within 2-3 min after homogenization of the guard-cell protoplasts. The activity of this enzyme was stimulated by PEP concentrations of 0.1 to 0.75 mM and by K(+) ions (12 mM), but inhibited by PEP concentrations above 1 mM and by malate. Changes in the Km(PEP) and Vmax values with increasing malate concentrations (2.5 and 5 mM) indicate that the malate level, varying in relation to the physiological state of guard cells, plays an important role in regulating the properties of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase.
从蚕豆保卫细胞原生质体中分离出的磷酸烯醇丙酮酸(PEP)羧化酶(EC 4.1.1.31)的性质,是在 Sephadex G 25 柱上快速脱盐后测定的。PEP 羧化酶的活性是作为 PEP 和苹果酸浓度、pH 值和 K+浓度的函数来测定的,这是在保卫细胞原生质体匀浆后 2-3 分钟内进行的。该酶的活性受到 0.1 至 0.75 mM 的 PEP 浓度和 K+离子(12 mM)的刺激,但受到超过 1 mM 的 PEP 浓度和苹果酸的抑制。随着苹果酸浓度(2.5 和 5 mM)的增加,Km(PEP)和 Vmax 值的变化表明,苹果酸的水平,与保卫细胞的生理状态有关,在调节磷酸烯醇丙酮酸羧化酶的性质方面起着重要作用。
