Not 1 step… more like 50! O2 + NADPH2 + ATP Interdependent! Calvin Cycle Reactions: perhaps 25 steps AKA: Dark Reactions ATP + NADPH2 + CO2 In sum: CO2 + H2O CH2O + NADP + ADP + P light O2 + CH2O chlorophyll The light and Calvin cycle reactions are interdependent… no dark reactions! RuBisCO: an ancient enzyme with a modern problem RuBP + CO2 RuBisCO RuBisCO often constitutes up to 40% of the protein in a plant…to ensure enough photosynthesis is achieved 1% in air O=C=O RuBP + O2 20% in air O=O 2 x P-C-C-C (a triose relative) RuBisCO P-C-C-C (a triose relative) + P-C-C 2 x CO2 photorespiration • Early in evolution of photosynthesis the atmosphere was anaerobic, so RuBisCo evolved without a problem. • As photosynthesis was successful, competitive inhibition from oxygen was essentially a negative feedback. • Evolution has not yet replaced RuBisCO. • But several workarounds have evolved… C4 Photosynthesis: The first fixation is a 4-carbon compound Mesophyll Cell Bundle Sheath Cell regeneration C3 acid phosphoenol pyruvate HCO3pepc C4 acid plasmodesmata C3 acid Calvin cycle rubisco CO2 decarboxylation C4 acid carboxylation atm CO2 The C4 and C3 reactions are spatially separated C4 Zea mays Leaves bundle sheath mesophyll PEPc expression in leaf cs http://botit.botany.wisc.edu/images/130/Leaf/Zea_leaf_cross_section/ Major_vein_MC.jpg http://www.conabio.gob.mx/malezasdemexico/a steraceae/flaveria-trinervia/imagenes/rama.jpg RubisCO expression in leaf cs Flaveria bidentis http://www.uni-duesseldorf.de/home/Jahrbuch/2002/Grieshaber/Grafik/Grieshaber05.gif http://wings.buffalo.edu/academic/department/fnsm/ bio-sci/facultyart.GIFS/Berryart.gif Zea mays leaf cross section showing classic Kranz anatomy Zea mays leaf cross section These bulliform cells lose water and the leaf rolls…which way?
