Isolation and characterization of an alkaline phosphatase from pea thylakoids
Abstract
Endogenous dephosphorylation of the light-harvesting chlorophyll-protein complex of photosystem II in pea (Pisum sativum, L. cv Progress 9) thylakoids drives the state 2 to state 1 transition; the responsible enzyme is a thylakoid-bound, fluoride-sensitive phosphatase with a pH optimum of 8.0 (Bennett J [1980] Eur J Biochem 104: 85-89). An enzyme with these characteristics was isolated from well-washed thylakoids. Its molecular mass was estimated at 51.5 kD, and this monomer was catalytically active, although the activity was labile. The active site could be labeled with orthophosphate at pH 5.0. High levels of alkaline phosphatase activity were obtained with the assay substrate, 4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate (350 micromoles per minute per milligram purified enzyme). The isolated enzyme functioned as a phosphoprotein phosphatase toward phosphorylated histone III-S and phosphorylated, photosystem II-enriched particles from pea, with typical activities in the range of 200 to 600 picomoles per minute per milligram enzyme. These activities all had a pH optimum of 8.0 and were fluoride sensitive. The enzyme required magnesium ion for maximal activity but was not dependent on this ion. Evidence supporting a putative function for this phosphatase in dephosphorylation of thylakoid proteins came from the inhibition of this process by a polyclonal antibody preparation raised against the partially purified enzyme.
