Plant Physiology 55:199-202 (1975) © 1975 American Society of Plant Biologists Inactivation of Pea Leaf Phosphofructokinase by Light and Dithiothreitol 1a Department of Biological Sciences, University of Illinois at Chicago Circle, Chicago, Illinois 60680
When intact pea (Pisum sativum L.) plants are illuminated, the glycolytic enzyme phosphofructokinase is inactivated. In crude extracts the enzyme is inhibited by dithiothreitol. It would seem that this cytoplasmic enzyme, like glucose-6-P dehydrogenase, is light-inactivated when the enzymes of photosynthetic carbon metabolism are light-activated.
