BIOCHEMISTRY AND ENZYMOLOGY

In Vivo Regulatory Phosphorylation of Soybean Nodule Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase

In this report we provide evidence that cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) in soybean (Glycine max L.) root nodules is regulated in vivo by a seryl-phosphorylation cycle, as with the C4, Crassulacean acid metabolism, and C3 leaf isoforms. Pretreatment of parent plants by stem girdling for 5 or 14 h caused a significant decrease in the apparent phosphorylation state of nodule PEPC, as indicated by the 50% inhibition constant (L-malate) and specific activity values assayed at suboptimal conditions, whereas short-term darkness alone was without effect. However, extended (26 h) darkness led to the formation of a relatively dephosphorylated nodule PEPC, an effect that was reversed by illuminating the darkened plants for 3 h. This reversal of the apparent phosphorylation state in the light was prevented by concomitant stem girdling. In contrast, the optimal activity of nodule PEPC and its protein level showed little or no change in all pretreated plants. These results suggest that the phosphorylation state of PEPC in soybean root nodules is possibly modulated by photosynthate transported recently from the shoots. In situ [32P]orthophosphate labeling, immunoprecipitation, and phosphoamino acid analyses confirmed directly that PEPC in detached intact soybean nodules is phosphorylated on a serine residue(s).
