Fraction I Protein

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Results and Problems in Cell Differentiation ((RESULTS,volume 10))

Abstract

When examining the soluble protein from spinach leaves in the ultracentrifuge, Wildman and Bonner in 1947 coined the term Fraction I protein to designate a high molecular weight protein which occurred in very high yield. Subsequent studies in a number of laboratories have shown that this protein contributes up to 50% of the soluble protein of leaves and is probably the most abundant protein in nature (Kawashima and Wildman 1970a). It occurs with remarkably little variation in structure in all plants containing chlorophyll a, ranging from Euglena and the bluegreen algae to all higher plants examined. Later Weissbach et al. (1956) succeeded in purifying the enzyme responsible for the first step in the Calvin photosynthetic cycle, the carboxylation of ribulosebisphosphate with CO2 to form 3-phosphoglycerid acid, and it became apparent that the two proteins had very similar physical properties. Subsequently they have been shown to be identical. Hence Fraction I protein is responsible for catalyzing the initial step of photosynthesis, the process on which all life as we know it depends. More recently (Bowes et al. 1971), this enzyme has been found to be responsible for a second important activity in the plant, that of ribulosebisphosphate oxygenase, an enzyme activity which converts RuBP in the presence of oxygen to 3-phospho-D-glycerate and phosphoglycolate and is the first step of photorespiration.
