The mechanism of sucrose-starch transformation was studied in corn endosperm. Preparations of endosperm which contain the total protein and starch granules catalyze an incorporation of radioactivity from sucrose-C14 to the granule in presence of ADP or UDP, ADP being more effective. No transfer of glucose-C14 from glucose-1-P to the granule was observed unless Mg++ and ATP were present. The Km values of the UDP-glucose-fructose glucosyl transferase for ADP, UDP, ADP-glucose, and UDP-glucose and their reciprocal inhibitions were measured From all these results the following two sequences for the glucose incorporation into the granule were proposed: (a) SucroseαADP-glucose (or UDP-glucose)→starch (b) SucroseαUDP-glucoseαglucose-1-PαADP-glucose→starch. The enzymes which catalyze all these steps could be demonstrated in corn endosperm. © 1964 Academic Press Inc. All rights reserved.
