Fe3+‐chelates mediate the oxidative modulation of cyanobacterial and chloroplast enzymes

Fe3+‐EDTA and the Fe3+ complexes of naturally occurring compounds (ATP, ADP, GTP, oxalate, pyridoxal 5'‐phosphate, Pi, PPi) mediated the oxidative modulation of several, partially purified cyanobacterial and chloroplast enzymes. Cyanobacterial glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase deactivated by tr...

Description
Summary:Fe3+‐EDTA and the Fe3+ complexes of naturally occurring compounds (ATP, ADP, GTP, oxalate, pyridoxal 5'‐phosphate, Pi, PPi) mediated the oxidative modulation of several, partially purified cyanobacterial and chloroplast enzymes. Cyanobacterial glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase deactivated by treatment with dithiothreitol + thioredoxin was reactivated in the presence of Fe3+‐chelates under aerobic conditions. Cyanobacterial fructose‐1,6‐bisphosphatase, spinach leaf NADP‐glyceraldehyde‐3‐phosphate dehydrogenase and NADP‐malate dehydrogenase activated by incubation with dithiothreitol + thioredoxin were deactivated in the presence of Fe3+‐chelates under aerobic conditions. Cyanobacterial isocitrate dehydrogenase and cyanophage AS‐1‐induced site‐specific endonuclease, enzymes known to be devoid of redox properties, were not affected by the Fe3+ complexes. The possible role of iron‐chelates in enzyme modulation is discussed.
