title: Sucrose-phosphate synthase phosphatase, a type 2A protein phosphatase, changes its sensitivity towards inhibition by inorganic phosphate in spinach leaves.
abstract: The activity of a type 2A protein phosphatase from spinach leaves was monitored using phosphorylated sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS) as a substrate. After partial purification the overall activities of sucrose-phosphate synthase phosphatase (SPS-P) recovered from leaves harvested in the dark and in the light did not vary. However, SPS-P preparations from darkened leaves were more strongly inhibited by inorganic phosphate and certain phosphorylated compounds than preparations from illuminated or mannose fed leaves. We conclude, that activation of SPS involves an interconversion of multiple forms of SPS-P activity.
