Plant Physiology 69:1404-1406 (1982) © 1982 American Society of Plant Biologists Light Modulation of Phosphofructokinase in Pea Leaf Chloroplasts 1University of Illinois at Chicago Circle, Box 4348, Chicago, Illinois 60680
Chloroplastic phosphofructokinase, phosphorylase, phosphoglucomutase, and phosphoglucoisomerase in peas are light inactivated. The effect of light on phosphofructokinase is mimicked by dithiothreitol. DCMU, arsenite, and sulfite inhibit light modulation of the enzyme. No effect of light inactivation on the Km (fructose-6-P) or pH optima of phosphofructokinase was observed.
