Abstract

Purified RuBP carboxylase requires activation by reaction with CO2 and a divalent metal ion. Mg2+ is the most effective metal ion, and is probably involved in activation in vivo. Ca2+ is reported not to be an activator. Several oxyanions, including phosphate esters, are effectors of activation of RuBP carboxylase by Co2 and Mg2+. It is now shown that Ca2+ is an effective activator of RuBP carboxylase and that PO4 3-, FBP, NADPH and 6-phosphogluconate are effectors of this activation. The ratio of oxygenase to carboxylase activity of enzyme activated with Ca2+ is similar to that for the enzyme activated with Mg2+.
