The activation properties of the form I and form II ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylases from Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides were examined. Both enzymes have a requirement of Mg2+ for optimal activity. Mn2+, Ni2+, and Co2+ can also support activity of the form I enzyme, whereas only Mn2+ can substitute for Mg2+ with the form II enzyme. The effect of different preincubations on the carboxylase reaction was also examined. Both enzymes exhibited a lag when preincubated with other than Mg2+ and CO2 before assay, but the lag was much more pronounced and the rate of the reaction was slower with the form I enzyme under these conditions. Activation of the form I carboxylase By Mg2+ and CO2 occurred more rapidly than that of the form II enzyme. The results obtained with the two distinct forms of carboxylase from R. sphaeroides, as well as studies with the spinach and Rhodospirillum rubrum enzymes, thus indicate that the presence of the small subunit affects the rate of activation by Mg2+ and CO2 as well as the rate of reactivation of ribulose bisphosphate-inactivated enzyme.
