The kinetic data on sugarcane (Saccharumspp. hybrids) sucrose synthase (SuSy, UDP-glucose: D-fructose 2-a-D-glucosyltransferase, EC ) are limited. We character-ized kinetically a SuSy activity partially purified from sugarcane variety N19 leaf roll tissue. Primary plot analysis and product inhibition studies showed that a compulsory order ternary complex mechanism is followed, with UDP binding first and UDP-glucose dissociating last from the enzyme. | Eur.

We characterized kinetically a SuSy activity partially purified from sugarcane variety N19 leaf roll tissue. Primary plot analysis and product inhibition studies showed that a compulsory order ternary complex mechanism is followed with UDP binding first and UDP-glucose dissociating last from the enzyme. Product inhibition studies showed that UDP-glu-cose is a competitive inhibitor with respect to UDP and a mixed inhibitor with respect to sucrose. Fructose is a mixed inhibitor with regard to both sucrose and UDP. Kinetic constants are as follows Km values mM SE were for sucrose for UdP for UDP-glucose and for fructose . KS values were for sucrose 227 mM for UDP mM for UDP-glucose and for fructose mM. Replacing estimated kinetic parameters of SuSy in a kinetic model of sucrose accumulation with experimentally determined parameters of the partially purified isoform had significant effects on model outputs with a 41 increase in sucrose concentration and reduction in fructose the most notable. Of the metabolites included in the model fructose concentration was most affected by changes in SuSy activity doubling and halving of SuSy activity reduced and increased the steady-state fructose concentration by about 42 and 140 respectively. It is concluded that different isoforms of SuSy could have significant differential effects on metabolite concentrations in vivo therefore impacting on metabolic
