title: Non-redox protein interactions in the thioredoxin activation of chloroplast enzymes.
abstract: Thioredoxin derivatives lacking SH groups such as S,S'-dicarboxymethyl-, dicarboxamidomethyl-thioredoxin and cysteine----serine mutant protein are capable of activating chloroplast NADP malate dehydrogenase and fructose-bisphosphatase when added to enzyme assays together with suboptimal amounts of native thioredoxin. The modified thioredoxins alone are inactive. These findings indicate that protein-protein interactions play a significant role in addition to disulfide/thiol exchange reactions in the light-driven regulation of plant enzymes by the various plant thioredoxins.
