Abstract:
:The breakdown of sucrose to feed both hexoses into glycolytic carbon flow can occur by the sucrose synthase pathway. This uridine diphosphate (UDP) and pyrophosphate (PPi)-dependent pathway was biochemically characterized using soluble extracts from several plants. The sucrolysis process required the simultaneous presence of sucrose, UDP, and PPi with their respective K(m) values being about 40 millimolar, 23 micromolar, and 29 micromolar. UDP was the only active nucleotide diphosphate. Slightly alkaline pH optima were observed for sucrose breakdown either to glucose 1-phosphate or to triose phosphate. Sucrolysis incrased with increasing temperature to near 50 degrees C and then a sharp drop occurred between 55 and 60 degrees C. The breakdown of sucrose to triose-P was activated by fructose 2,6-P(2) which had a K(m) value near 0.2 micromolar. The cytoplasmic phosphofructokinase and fructokinase in plants were fairly nonselective for nucleotide triphosphates (NTP) but glucokinase definitely favored ATP. A predicted stoichiometric relationship of unity for UDP and PPi was measured when one also measured competing UDPase and pyrophosphatase activity. The cycling of uridylates, UDP to UTP to UDP, was demonstrated both with phosphofructokinase and with fructokinase. Enzyme activity measurements indicated that the sucrose synthase pathway has a major role in plant sucrose sink tissues. In the cytoplasmic sucrose synthase breakdown pathway, a role for the PPi-phosphofructokinase was to produce PPi while a role for the NTP-phosphofructokinase and for the fructokinase was to produce UDP.
