✦ Synopsis
The changes in the activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) (EC 1.1.1.49) and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGDH) (EC 1.1.1.44) in leaf tissues and the subcellular localisation of their isozymes in protoplasts derived from healthy and potato virus Y (PVY) infected plants of Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Samsun were determined. The activities of G6PDH and 6PGDH were markedly increased in virus-infected leaves during the acute phase of infection both in crude homogenate and partial purificate (when compared with the values found in healthy control plants) and correlated with the multiplication curve of PVY. Intact chloroplasts and soluble cytosolic proteins were obtained from whole plants upon the culmination of the multiplication curve of PVY and upon the enhancement of the activity of both dehydrogenases by means of differential centrifugation of broken protoplasts. The chloroplastic fraction from infected protoplasts (based on chlorophyll content or NADP + -triosephosphate dehydrogenase activity) showed an enhanced activity of G6PDH (1.81 times that of healthy protoplasts), and 6PGDH (1.77 times). Cytosol from infected protoplasts (based on phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase activity) contained only slightly enhanced activities of G6PDH and 6PGDH (only 1.26 and 1.16 times, respectively). © Elsevier, Paris
