Porphyrin biosynthesis in rhodopseudomonas palustris-II. Evidence on the existence of a factor regulating aminolevulinate synthetase activity

1. 1. No changes in ALA-S activity were observed when different preparations of R. palustris were stored at 4°C for various periods of time. 2. 2. Mixing supernatants from pigmented and decoloured R. palustris cells, showed that the activity of ALA-S was several times higher than expected, suggestin...

Mixing supernatants from pigmented and decoloured R. palustris cells, showed that the activity of ALA-S was several times higher than expected, suggesting the presence of an activator. 3. 3. Supernatants from photosynthetically and aerobically grown cells were heated and the effect of the protein-free supernatant was tested on both red and white supernatants.

By gel filtration on Sephadex G-25 of cell free extracts from R. palustris either aerobically or anaerobically grown, a low molecular weight compound was separated, which added back to the homologeous enzyme enhanced its activity confirming the existence of one or two low-molecular weight and heat-stable factors which would act stimulating ALA-S activity. 5. 5.
