Abstract
Oxidation-reduction midpoint potentials have been measured for the two chloroplast thioredoxins, thioredoxin f and m, for ferredoxin:thioredoxin reductase (FTR) and for the thioredoxin-regulated enzymes fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase), phosphoribulokinase and NADP-malate dehydrogenase. The effects of pH on the midpoint potentials of these chloroplast proteins have been measured so that the effect of the light-induced increase in chloroplast stromal pH on the redox properties of the proteins can be calculated. Spectroscopic measurements on FTR and on an N-ethylmaleimide-modified derivative of the enzyme have been used to elucidate the role of the [4Fe-4S] cluster of FTR during the reduction of the enzyme's active-site disulfide by ferredoxin.
