Kinetic properties of phosphoglycolate phosphatase from Pisum sativum and Phaseolus vulgaris

High activities of phosphoglycolate phosphatase were observed in Pisum sativum and Phaseolus vulgaris leaves. The low values for K m phosphoglycolate and the K a values for the activation by Mg 2+ and Cl &− are consistent with the efficient hydrolysis of phosphoglycolate in these plants. This is...

Summary:High activities of phosphoglycolate phosphatase were observed in Pisum sativum and Phaseolus vulgaris leaves. The low values for K m phosphoglycolate and the K a values for the activation by Mg 2+ and Cl &− are consistent with the efficient hydrolysis of phosphoglycolate in these plants. This is confirmed by the absence of detectable phosphoglycolate in photosynthetically active leaves of Pisum sativum.
