Chloroplast Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate Dehydrogenase Contains a Single Disulfide Bond Located in the C-terminal Extension to the B Subunit

Mass mapping analysis based on cyanylation and CN-induced cleavage indicates that the two cysteine residues in the C-terminal extension of the B subunit of the light-activated pea leaf chloroplast glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase form a disulfide bond. No evidence was found for a disulfide b...

Description
Summary:Mass mapping analysis based on cyanylation and CN-induced cleavage indicates that the two cysteine residues in the C-terminal extension of the B subunit of the light-activated pea leaf chloroplast glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase form a disulfide bond. No evidence was found for a disulfide bond in the A subunit, nor was there any indication of a second disulfide bond in the B subunit. The availability of the structure of the extended glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase from the archaeonSulfolobus solfataricus allows modeling of the B subunit. As modeled, the two cysteine residues in the extension are positioned to form an interdomain disulfide cross-link.
