Abstract:
:Light-stimulated carotenoid biosynthesis associated with the transformation of etioplasts to chloroplasts was investigated after dark-grown maize (Zea mays) seedlings were transferred into light. These studies focused on the enzymes of the pathway to detect those enzyme activities that were stimulated in the light and thus that were responsible for increased biosynthesis of carotenoids. In preliminary experiments, norflurazon, an inhibitor of phytoene desaturase, was used to prevent phytoene being further metabolized to carotenoids. Light-dependent stimulation of phytoene accumulation indicated that the light-regulated steps are located in the pathway leading to phytoene synthesis. The use of the 14C- labeled precursors mevalonic acid, isopentenyl pyrophosphate, and farnesyl pyrophosphate pointed to increased activity of an enzyme involved in the biosynthetic steps between isopentenyl pyrophosphate and farnesyl pyrophosphate. Determination of the activities of all five enzymes of the pathway involved in the sequence from mevalonic acid to phytoene revealed that the only enzyme activity stimulated by light was isopentenyl pyrophosphate isomerase. Over a 3-h period of illumination, this enzyme activity, like carotenoid biosynthesis, was stimulated 2.8-fold.
