To investigate the physiological effects of rare earth ions, we have studied the effect of LaCl3 on the activity of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (RuBPcase) in tobacco (Nicotiana tobacum). When treated with 20-80 mu mol/l LaCl3 in Hoagland solution by water culture or by spraying with 400-1600 mu mol/l LaC(l)3 in pot experiment, the total and initial activities of RuBPcase were raised gradually, but decreased when the concentrations of LaCl3 were greater than or equal to 200 mu mol/l in water culture and > 1600 mu mol/l by spraying. it was indicated that LaCl3 promoted the activation of RuBPcase at low concentrations in vivo. It was also proved that lanthanides (Ln(3+)) increased the activity of RuBPcase in vitro. Upon addition of different concentrations of Ln(3+) to replace Mg2+, the RuBPcase activity exhibited an apparently biphasic response curve. Among the three Ln(3+) tested, the activation effects of La3+ and Ce3+ on RuBPcase were greater than that of Gd3+, but the activation effects of all the three Ln(3+) were lower at high concentrations than that of Mg2+, showing strongly inhibitory function. The extended X-ray absorption fine structure study of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco)-La complex indicated that La is bound with the oxygen atoms of amino acid residues, with the distance of the La-O bond being 2.51 Angstrom. The mechanism of molecular interaction between Ln(3+) and RuBPcase is discussed. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
