title: Chloroplast glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase contains a single disulfide bond located in the C-terminal extension to the B subunit.
abstract: Mass mapping analysis based on cyanylation and CN-induced cleavage indicates that the two cysteine residues in the C-terminal extension of the B subunit of the light-activated pea leaf chloroplast glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase form a disulfide bond. No evidence was found for a disulfide bond in the A subunit, nor was there any indication of a second disulfide bond in the B subunit. The availability of the structure of the extended glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase from the archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus allows modeling of the B subunit. As modeled, the two cysteine residues in the extension are positioned to form an interdomain disulfide cross-link.
