Regulation of C4 photosynthesis catalytic dephosphorylation and Pi-mediated activation of pyruvate Pi dikinase

Regulation of C4 photosynthesis catalytic dephosphorylation and Pi-mediated activation of pyruvate Pi dikinase

J N Burnell. Biochem Biophys Res Commun. .

Abstract

In experiments designed to test the reversibility of ADP-dependent inactivation and Pi-dependent activation of pyruvate, Pi dikinase , it was found that the preferred substrate for Pi dependent activation is the catalytically non-phosphorylated form of pyruvate, Pi dikinase . Only the second of the two partial reactions catalysed by pyruvate, Pi dikinase is inhibited when pyruvate, Pi dikinase is inactivated by ADP-dependent phosphorylation. Neither ADP-dependent inactivation nor Pi-dependent activation reactions were found to be reversible.
