Sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS, EC 2.4.1.14) biochemical properties and peptide composition have been analyzed in rice leaf seedlings. SPS was purified using DEAE-Sephacel chromatography, gel filtration on Sepharose 6B and anion exchange chromatography on Mono Q. At this stage two enzyme forms (SPS-I and -II) were separated. SPS-II was purified 90-fold; however, SPS-I presented a lower specific activity regarding the previous purification step and an unstable activity. Both enzyme forms had similar apparent Km values for Fru-6P but the SPS-I Km for UDP-Glc was ca. 10-fold higher than the SPS-II one. In addition, they differentiate in the capacity of being modulated by Glc-6-P and Pi: while SPS-II activity was inhibited by Pi and activated by Glc-6-P, SPS-I was not affected by either effectors. A native molecular mass of ca. 420 kDa was found by gel filtration. In SPS expression analysis using leaf rice and wheat germ SPS antibodies, a 116 kDa polypeptide was revealed in rice leaf extracts and no polypeptide was immunoactive in rice roots.
