The coupling factor of photophosphorylation, which carries out the terminal steps in the light-dependent synthesis of ATP in spinach chloroplasts, forms tight complexes with [(14)C]ADP in vitro. The bound [(14)C]ADP undergoes a transphosphorylation reaction to give [(14)C]AMP and [(14)C]ATP. The [(14)C]ATP remains tightly bound, and can be recovered conveniently only by denaturation of the enzyme nucleotide complex. If spinach membranes are illuminated in the presence of pyocyanine and [(3)H]AMP or [(32)P]P(i), the enzyme can be recovered as a tight complex with [(3)H]ADP or [(32)P]ADP. The evidence indicates that AMP is an earlier acceptor of phosphate than is ADP, in a light-driven phosphorylation reaction. It also suggests that AMP serves as a cofactor in photophosphorylation.
光磷酸化的偶联因子在菠菜叶绿体中依赖光的ATP合成过程中执行终端步骤,它在体外与[(14)C]ADP形成紧密复合物。结合的[(14)C]ADP发生转磷酸化反应,生成[(14)C]AMP和[(14)C]ATP。[(14)C]ATP仍紧密结合,只有通过使酶核苷酸复合物变性才能方便地回收。如果在存在绿脓菌素和[(3)H]AMP或[(32)P]P(i)的情况下照射菠菜膜,该酶可以作为与[(3)H]ADP或[(32)P]ADP的紧密复合物回收。证据表明,在光驱动的磷酸化反应中,AMP是比ADP更早的磷酸盐受体。这也表明AMP在光磷酸化中作为辅助因子起作用。
