Abstract
Nature integrates complex biosynthetic and energy-converting tasks within compartments such as chloroplasts and mitochondria. Chloroplasts convert light into chemical energy, driving carbon dioxide fixation. We used microfluidics to develop a chloroplast mimic by encapsulating and operating photosynthetic membranes in cell-sized droplets. These droplets can be energized by light to power enzymes or enzyme cascades and analyzed for their catalytic properties in multiplex and real time. We demonstrate how these microdroplets can be programmed and controlled by adjusting internal compositions and by using light as an external trigger. We showcase the capability of our platform by integrating the crotonyl-coenzyme A (CoA)/ethylmalonyl-CoA/hydroxybutyryl-CoA (CETCH) cycle, a synthetic network for carbon dioxide conversion, to create an artificial photosynthetic system that interfaces the natural and the synthetic biological worlds.

Abstract
Adenylate kinase (ADK) is a phosphotransferase that plays an important role in cellular energy homeostasis. Many isozymes located in different subcellular compartments have been reported. In this study, we focus on the characterization of cassava (Manihot esculenta) ADKs. We found 15 ADKs that are publicly available in the African cassava genome database. We cloned two ADKs, namely MeADK1 and MeADK2, which are phylogenetically grouped together with the plastidial ADK in potato. Both MeADK1 and MeADK2 showed 66% identity in the amino acid sequences with plastidial ADK in potato. However, we demonstrated that they are localized to mitochondria using GFP fusions of MeADK1 and MeADK2. The Escherichia coli-produced recombinant MeADK1 and MeADK2 preferred forward reactions that produce ATP. They exhibited similar specific activities. The semi-quantitative RT-PCR analysis showed that MeADK1 and MeADK2 in 2-month-old leaves have similar expression patterns under a diurnal light-dark cycle. However, MeADK2 transcripts were expressed at much higher levels than MeADK1 in 5-month-old leaves and roots. Thus, we conclude that MeADK2 might play a vital role in energy homeostasis in cassava mitochondria.

Abstract
Adenosine monophosphate kinase (AMK; adenylate kinase) catalyses the reversible formation of ADP by the transfer of one phosphate group from ATP to AMP, thus equilibrating adenylates. The Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) genome contains 10 genes with an adenylate/cytidylate kinase signature; seven of these are identified as putative adenylate kinases. Encoded proteins of at least two members of this Arabidopsis adenylate kinase gene family are targeted to plastids. However, when the individual genes are disrupted, the phenotypes of both mutants are strikingly different. Although absence of AMK2 causes only 30% reduction of total adenylate kinase activity in leaves, there is loss of chloroplast integrity leading to small, pale-looking plantlets from embryo to seedling development. In contrast, no phenotype for disruption of the second plastid adenylate kinase was found. From this analysis, we conclude that AMK2 is the major activity for equilibration of adenylates and de novo synthesis of ADP in the plastid stroma.

Abstract
An Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) L. Heynh mutant deficient in an isoform of adenylate kinase (ADK; At2g37250) was isolated by reverse genetics. It contains a T-DNA insertion 377 bp downstream of the start point of transcription. The mutant lacks At2g37250 transcripts and has a mild reduction in total cellular ADK activity. Green fluorescent protein-fusion based cellular localization experiments, carried out with the full-length At2g37250, suggested a plastidial localization for this isoform. In keeping with this observation, organelle isolation experiments revealed that the loss in ADK activity was confined to the inner plastid. This plastid stroma ADK gene was found to be expressed tissue constitutively but at much higher levels in illuminated leaves. Phenotypic and biochemical analyses of the mutant revealed that it exhibited higher amino acid biosynthetic activity in the light and was characterized by an enhanced root growth. When the mutant was subjected to either continuous light or continuous dark, growth phenotypes were also observed in the shoots. While the levels of adenylates were not much altered in the leaves, the pattern of change observed in the roots was consistent with the inhibition of an ATP-consuming reaction. Taken together, these data suggest a role for the plastid stromal ADK in the coordination of metabolism and growth, but imply that the exact importance of this isoform is tissue dependent.

Abstract
Concentrations of adenylate species and free magnesium (Mg(2+)) within cells are mediated by the equilibrium governed by adenylate kinase (AK), the enzyme abundant in plants in chloroplast stroma and intermembrane spaces of chloroplasts and mitochondria. Ratios of free and Mg-bound adenylates (linked to the values of [Mg(2+)] established under AK equilibrium) can be rationalized in terms of the overall dependence of concentrations of Mg(2+) and free and Mg-bound adenylates, as well as electric potential values across the inner membranes of mitochondria and chloroplasts. The potential across the inner mitochondrial membrane, by driving adenylate translocators, equilibrates free adenylates across the inner membrane according to the Nernst equation and contributes to the ATP(total)/ADP(total) ratio in the cytosol. The ratio affects the exchange of free adenylates with chloroplasts and this, in turn, influences the value of potential across the inner chloroplast membrane. From measurements of subcellular ATP(total)/ADP(total) ratios, we suggest a method of estimating the values of potential across inner membranes of mitochondria and chloroplasts in vivo, which allows a comparison of the operation of these organelles under different physiological conditions. We discuss also how the equilibration of adenylates by AK drives adenylate transport across membranes, and establishes [Mg(2+)] in the cytosol and chloroplast stroma, maintaining the rates of photosynthesis and respiration. This provides a tool for metabolomic research, by which the determined concentrations of adenylate species could be used for computation of essential metabolic parameters in the cell and in subcellular compartments.

Abstract
On the basis of the equilibrium of adenylate kinase (AK; EC 2.7.4.3), which interconverts MgATP and free AMP with MgADP and free ADP, an approach has been worked out to calculate concentrations of free magnesium (Mg(2+)), based on concentrations of total ATP, ADP and AMP in plant tissues and in individual subcellular compartments. Based on reported total adenylate contents, [Mg(2+)] in plant tissues and organelles varies significantly depending on light and dark regimes, plant age and developmental stage. In steady-state conditions, [Mg(2+)] in chloroplasts is similar in light and darkness (in the millimolar range), whereas in the cytosol it is very low in the light and increases to about 0.4 mM in darkness. During the dark-to-light transition (photosynthetic induction), the [Mg(2+)] in chloroplasts falls to low values (0.2 mM or less), corresponding to a delay in photosynthetic oxygen evolution. This delay is considered to result from lower activities of Mg-dependent enzymes in the Calvin cycle. In mitochondria, the changes in [Mg(2+)] are similar but smoother. On the other hand, when the transition from light to darkness is considered, an initial increase in [Mg(2+)] occurs in both chloroplasts and mitochondria, which may be of importance for the control of key regulatory enzymes (e.g. mitochondrial malic enzyme and pyruvate dehydrogenase complex) and for processes connected with light-enhanced dark respiration. A rationale is presented for a possible role of [MgATP]/[MgADP] ratio (rather than [ATP(total)]/[ADP(total)]) as an important component of metabolic cellular control. It is postulated that assays of total adenylates may provide an accurate measure of [Mg(2+)] in plant tissues/cells and subcellular compartments, given that the adenylates are equilibrated by AK.

Abstract
The spinach triose phosphate/phosphate translocator and the 37-kDa protein are both integral components of the chloroplast inner envelope membrane. They are synthesized in the cytosol with N-terminal extensions, the transit peptides, that are different in structural terms from those of imported stromal or thylakoid proteins. In order to determine if these N-terminal extensions are essential for the correct localization to the envelope membrane, they were linked to the mature parts of thylakoid membrane proteins, the light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b binding protein and the CF0II-subunit of the thylakoid ATP synthase, respectively. In addition, the transit peptide of the CF0II-subunit that contains signals for the transport across both the envelope and the thylakoid membrane was fused to the mature parts of both envelope membrane proteins. The chimeric proteins were imported into isolated spinach chloroplasts, and the intraorganellar routing of the proteins was analyzed. The results obtained show that the N-terminal extensions of both envelope membrane proteins possess a stroma-targeting function only and that the information for the integration into the envelope membrane is contained in the mature parts of the proteins. At least part of the integration signal is provided by hydrophobic domains in the mature sequences since the removal of such a hydrophobic segment from the 37-kDa protein leads to missorting of the protein to the stroma and the thylakoid membrane.

Abstract
Adenylate kinases modulate the three adenine nucleotide pools and were found to be localized as isoenzymes in different tissues and organelles in animals and plants. For investigations of adenylate kinase isoenzymes from plant tissues different plant extracts were examined by anion-exchange chromatography. During investigations with the strong anion exchanger Mono Q, adenylate kinase activity eluted in the void volume. This void volume activity did not always occur, but depended on the age of the plants and light treatment. The nature of the factors affecting void volume activity could only be partially resolved. It could be shown that RNase treatment at the beginning of extraction led to the disappearance of void volume activity, whereas an untreated extract still showed this activity.

Most of the chloroplast proteins are coded for in the nucleus and are synthesized in the cytosol from where they are subsequently transported into the different chloroplast compartments. The structural properties of the N-terminal extensions (transit peptides) of these nuclear-coded precursor proteins are discussed as well as the energy requirements for their translocation and the involvement of receptor proteins and that of other (ATP-dependent) factors.

Abstract
Transformation of adenylates (AMP, ADP and ATP) by washed chromatophore membranes of Rhodobactor spheroides G1C in the dark and in the light indicated the functions of ATPase (ADP + Pi in equilibrium ATP) and of an adenylate kinase (2ADP in equilibrium AMP + ATP). The activity of adenylate kinase of the chromatophores was not inhibited by AP5A, and persisted even after sonication in the presence of EDTA or CaCl2; the results suggested the presence of an adenylate kinase bound to the chromatophore membrane. In search of the enzyme, the supernatant after sonication of the chromatophores in the presence of EDTA was subjected to a molecular sieve and then to ion-exchange HPLC; a fraction with high specific adenylate kinase activity, containing a very sharp peak at 55 kDa, was isolated. Preliminary characterization indicated that it is different from the well-documented water-soluble 33 kDa adenylate kinase.

Abstract
A 64-kilodalton (kDa) protein, situated in the lumen between the inner and outer envelopes of pea (Pisum sativum L.) chloroplasts (Soll and Bennett 1988, Eur. J. Biochem., 175, 301-307) is shown to undergo reversible phosphorylation in isolated mixed envelope vesicles. It is the most conspicuously labelled protein after incubation of envelopes with 33 nmol·1(-1) [γ-(32)P]ATP whereas incubation with 50 μmol·1(-1) [γ-(32)P]ATP labels most prominently two outer envelope proteins (86 and 23 kDa). Half-maximum velocity for phosphorylation of the 64-kDa protein occurs with 200 nmol·1(-1) ATP, and around 40 μmol·1(-1) ATP for phosphorylation of the 86- and 23-kDa proteins, indicating the operation of two distinct kinases. GGuanosine-, uridine-, cytidine 5'-triphosphate and AMP are poor inhibitors of the labelling of the 64-kDa protein with [γ-(32)P]ATP. On the other hand, ADP has a potent influence on the extent of labelling (half-maximal inhibition at 1-5 μmol·1(-1)). The ADP-dependent appearance of (32)P in ATP indicates that ADP acts by reversal of kinase activity and not as a competitive inhibitor. However, the most rapid loss of (32)P from pre-labelled 64-kDa protein occurs when envelope vesicles are incubated with ATP t1/2=15 s at 20 μmolsd1(-1) ATP). This induced turnover of phosphate appears to be responsible for the rapid phosphoryl turnover seen in situ.

Abstract
A guanosine 5'-triphosphate (GTP)-dependent protein kinase was detected in preparations of outer chloroplast envelope membranes of pea (Pisum sativum L.) chloroplasts. The protein-kinase activity was capable of phosphorylating several envelope-membrane proteins. The major phosphorylated products were 23- and 32.5-kilo-dalton proteins of the outer envelope membrane. Several other envelope proteins were labeled to a lesser extent. Following acid hydrolysis of the labeled proteins, most of the label was detected as phosphoserine with only minor amounts detected as phosphothreonine. Several criteria were used to distinguish the GTP-dependent protein kinase from an ATP-dependent kinase also present in the outer envelope membrane. The ATP-dependent kinase phosphorylated a very different set of envelope-membrane proteins. Heparin inhibited the GTP-dependent kinase but had little effect upon the ATP-dependent enzyme. The GTP-dependent enzyme accepted phosvitin as an external protein substrate whereas the ATP-dependent enzyme did not. The outer membrane of the chloroplast envelope also contained a phosphotransferase capable of transferring labeled phosphate from [γ-(32)P]GTP to ADP to yield (γ-(32)P]ATP. Consequently, addition of ADP to a GTP-dependent protein-kinase assay resulted in a switch in the pattern of labeled products from that seen with GTP to that typically seen with ATP.

Abstract
Electrophoretic variation and inheritance of four novel enzyme systems were studied in maize (Zea mays L.). A minimum of 10 genetic loci collectively encodes isozymes of aconitate hydratase (ACO; EC 4.2.1.3.), adenylate kinase (ADK; EC 2.7.4.3), NADH dehydrogenase (DIA; EC 1.6.99.-), and shikimate dehydrogenase (SAD; EC 1.1.1.25). At least four loci are responsible for the genetic control of ACO. Genetic data for two of the encoding loci, Aco1 and Aco4, demonstrated that at least two maize ACOs are active as monomers. Analysis of organellar preparations suggests that ACO1 and ACO4 are localized in the cytosolic and mitochondrial subcellular fractions, respectively. Maize ADK is encoded by a single nuclear locus, Adk1, governing monomeric enzymes that are located in the chloroplasts. Two cytosolic and two mitochondrial forms of DIA were electrophoretically resolved. Segregation analyses demonstrated that the two cytosolic isozymes are controlled by separate loci, Dia1 and Dia2, coding for products that are functional as monomers (DIA1) and dimers (DIA2). The major isozyme of SAD is apparently cytosolic, although an additional faintly staining plastid form may be present. Alleles at Sad1 are each associated with two bands that cosegregate in controlled crosses. Linkage analyses and crosses with B-A translocation stocks were effective in determining the map locations of six loci, including the previously described but unmapped locus Acp4. Several of these loci were localized to sparsely mapped regions of the genome. Dia2 and Acp4 were placed on the distal portion of the long arm of chromosome 1, 12.6 map units apart. Dia1 was localized to chromosome 2, 22.2 centimorgans (cM) from B1. Aco1 was mapped to chromosome 4, 6.2 cM from su1. Adk1 was placed on the poorly marked short arm of chromosome 6, 8.1 map units from rgd1. Less than 1% recombination was observed between Glu1 (on chromosome 10) and Sad1. In contrast to many other maize isozyme systems, there was little evidence of gene duplication or of parallel linkage relationships for these allozyme loci.

Abstract
To determine the sites of synthesis of chloroplast-envelope proteins, we have analysed several enzyme and translocator functions ascribed to the envelope membranes, and investigated the envelope polypeptide composition of plastids isolated from 70S ribosome-deficient leaves of rye (Secale cereale L.) generated by growing the plants at a temperature of 32°C. Since the ribosomedeficient plastids are also achlorophyllous in light-grown leaves, not only were chloroplasts from mature, green leaves used for comparison, but also those from yellowing, aged leaves as well as etioplasts from dark-grown leaves raised at a temperature of 22° C. A majority of the plastidenvelope polypeptides appeared to be of cytoplasmic origin. The envelopes of ribosome-deficient plastids possessed ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) activity; this was not, however, dependent on divalent cations, in contrast to the Mn(2+)- or Mg(2+)-dependent ATPase which is associated with chloroplast envelopes. Adenylate kinase (EC 2.7.4.3) was present in the stromal fraction of ribosome-deficient plastids and the stromal form of this enzyme is, therefore, of cytoplasmic origin. In contrast to previous findings, adenylate kinase was not, however, specifically associated with the chloroplast-envelope membranes, either in rye or in spinach. Measurements of the uptake of L-[(14)C]-malate into ribosome-deficient plastids indicated the presence and cytoplasmic origin of the dicarboxylate translocator. Malate uptake into rye etioplasts was, however, low. The phosphate translocator was assayed by the uptake of 3-phospho-[(14)C]glycerate. While rapid 3-phosphoglycerate uptake was observed for rye chloroplasts and etioplasts, it was hardly detectable for ribosome-deficient, plastids and rather low for chloroplasts from aged leaves. A polypeptide of M r approx. 30000 ascribed to the phosphate translocator was greatly reduced in the envelope patterns of ribosome-deficient plastids and of chloroplasts from aged leaves.

Abstract
Of the total adenylate-kinase activity in 10-d-old barley and wheat leaves, 40-50% is localised in the chloroplasts, while in mature spinach leaves 50-70% of the enzyme is chloroplastic. The extra-chloroplastic adenylate-kinase activity is associated with the mitochondria, very little, if any, is freely soluble in the cytoplasm. The adenylate pool of the cytoplasm could have access to adenylate-kinase activity in the intermitochondrial space because of the free permeation of adenylates across the outer mitochondrial membrane. Thus the adenylate pool of the cytoplasm could be subject to adenylate-kinase equilibrium. The mitochondrial adenylate kinase appeared to the localised exclusively in the intermembrane space.

Abstract
1. Fatty acid synthesis in isolated intact chromoplasts from [1-(14)C]acetate was made possible by using ATP, ADP (via adenylate kinase), and, with decreasing efficiency, UTP, CTP, and GTP as energy sources. 2. The glycolytic path from dihydroxyacetone phosphate to acetyl-CoA operates within the chromoplasts. The glycolytic intermediates, especially 2-phosphoglycerate and phosphoenolpyruvate, served as very effective energy donors for fatty acid synthesis by phosphorylating the endogenous adenine nucleotide pool. 3. In the presence of exogenous ATP or ADP, appreciable amounts of in vitro formed fatty acids were found as acyl-CoA and subsequent products, mainly phosphatidylcholine. When other energy sources were used most of the acids formed were in the free form, and to a minor extent, in the phosphatidic acid and diacylglycerol fractions. Similar results have recently been reported for spinach chloroplasts (Kleinig and Liedvogel 1979, FEBS Lett.101, 339-342).
