Several kinetic parameters of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) carboxylase/oxygenase from different species were measured and compared. The CO2/O2 specificity (VcKo/VoKc) was .apprx. 80 in the enzymes from several C3 species [Helianthur maximus, Lycopersicon esculentum, Medicago sativa, Petroselinum crispum] and 2 C4 species [Echinochloa crus-galli, Portulaca oleracea]. Specificity values of 58 and 70, respectively, were found in enzymes from the C4 plants Setaria italica and Sorghum bicolor. Two enzymes from cyanobacteria [Aphanocapsa alpicola, plectonema boryanum] had values of .apprx. 50. Substitution of Mn2+ for Mg2+ reduced the CO2/O2 specificity by a factor of .apprx. 20 for all enzymes except that of Rhodospirillum rubrum, which was reduced by a factor of 10. Values for KMg2+(apparent) measured at 102 .mu.M CO2 were varied by a factor of 8 between different RuBP carboxylase/oxygenase enzymes [Spinacia oleracea, Nicotiana tabacum, Glycine max, Amaranthus hybridus, Zea mays, Aphanizomenon flos-aque, R. rubrum]. Enzymes with high KMg2+(apparent) values generally had high Km for CO2. The rate of CO2/Mg2+ activation was inhibited by RuBP in all enzymes, although the concentration of RuBP required to inhibit activation in the enzyme from the cyanobacterium A. flos-aquae was increased by an order of magnitude compared ot other higher plant structural-type enzymes. The wide variation found in the kinetic properties of RuBP carboxylase/oxygenase isolated from diverse species appears to be determined in part by past evolutionary pressures and the present physicochemical environment in which the enzyme functions.
