[Effect of phosphorylation on glycolysis in the cells of assimilating millet leaf tissues].

The effect of phosphorylation on glycolysis reactions was studied in respect with the rate of 1-14C-glucose metabolization and the composition of synthesized labelled products in isolated cells of assimilating millet leave tissues incapable to reassimilation of respiratory CO2. Data on oxygen metabolism in mesophyll protoplasts and in cells of parenchymal facing of vascular bundle sheaths in the absence and in the presence of electron acceptors (3,5-dichlorophenolindophenol and methylviologen) show that they retain adenylate pool and energy charge characteristic of photosynthetizing tissues. The glycolysis rate decreased in illuminated cells, which did not remove carbon products from chloroplasts. Analysis of compounds produced from 1-14C-glucose exogenous ADP effect on their ration and the change of adenylate energy charge in the presence of methylviologen demonstrates that the acting factor is a decrease of Pi and ADP concentrations in cytoplasm because of their use chloroplast phosphorylation. It is suggested, that a short-cut chain of glycolysis reactions may take place in intact cells assimilating CO2 in photosynthesis, and the capacity of this chain is determined by the type of carbon metabolism and photorespiration mechanism.
