Abstract
L-myo-inositol 1-phosphate synthase (EC 5.5.1.4) from cyanobacterial (Spirulina platensis), algal (Euglena gracilis), and higher plant (Oryza sativa, Vigna radiata) sources was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity, biochemically characterized, and compared. Both chloroplastic and cytosolic forms of the enzyme were detected in E. gracilis, O. sativa, and V. radiata, whereas only the cytosolic form was detected in streptomycin-bleached or chloroplastic mutants of E. gracilis and in S. platensis. Both the chloroplastic and cytosolic forms from different sources could be purified following the same three-step chromatographic protocol. L-myo-inositol 1-phosphate synthases purified from these different sources do not differ significantly with respect to biochemical and kinetic parameters except for the molecular mass of the chloroplastic and cytosolic native holoenzymes, which appear to be homotetrameric and homotrimeric associations of their constituent subunits, respectively. Monovalent and divalent cations, sugar alcohols, and sugar phosphates are inhibitory to the enzyme activity. N-ethylmaleimide inhibition of synthase activity could be protected by the combined presence of the substrate glucose-6-phosphate and cofactor NAD+. Antibody raised against the cytosolic enzyme from E. gracilis immunoprecipitates and cross-reacts with both chloroplastic and cytosolic forms from the other sources studied.
