Influence of Certain Cations on Activity of Succinyl CoA Synthetase From Tobacco 12

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Succinyl CoA synthetase from Nicotiana tabacum exhibited a requirement for univalent and divalent cations. Mn2+ replaced Mg2+ in the assay medium and Co2+ and Ca2+ partially replaced Mg2+. Addition of Zn2+ resulted in no enzyme activity. The enzyme was activated by univalent cations K+, Rb+, NH4+, and Na+; Li+ showed little or no activation. Maximum enzyme activity varied significantly with potassium salts of different anions. Greatest activation was obtained with K3PO4 and, respectively, KCl, KNO3, K2SO4 and KF exhibited steadily decreasing enzyme activation.
