The intracellular localization of several aspartate pathway enzymes has been studied in pea (Pisum sativum cv Feltham First) and barley (Hordeum vulgare cv Julia) leaves. Protoplast lysates were fractionated by differential or sucrose density gradient centrifugation, in media optimized for each enzyme. The results show that aspartate kinase, homoserine kinase, threonine synthase, and cystathionine gamma-synthase are confined to the chloroplast. Cystathionine beta-lyase appears to be present in several fractions, though more than 50% of the total activity is associated with the chloroplasts. In contrast, neither methionine synthase nor methionine adenosyl-transferase were significantly associated with chloroplasts, and only a small proportion of the methionine synthase was associated with the mitochondrial fraction. Methionine adenosyltransferase, and hence S-adenosylmethionine synthesis, is not found in any organelle fraction. The conclusion is that whereas threonine, like lysine, is synthesized only in the chloroplast, the last step in methionine biosynthesis occurs largely in the cytoplasm.
