The hydrogen isotope-effect that occurs in vitro during myo-inositol1-phosphate synthase-catalyzed conversion of D-[5-3H]glucose 6-phosphate into myo[2-3H]inositol 1-phosphate has been used to compare the functional role of the nucleotide sugar oxidation-pathway with that of the myo-inositol oxidation-pathway in germinating lily pollen. Results reveal a significant difference between the 3H/14C ratios of glucosyl and galactosyluronic residues from pectinase-amyloglucosidase hydrolyzates of the 70% ethanol-insoluble fraction of D-[5-3H, 1-14C]glucose-labeled, germinating lily pollen. This isotope effect at C-5 of D-glucose that occurred during its conversion into D-galactosyluronic residues of pectic substance is not explained by loss of 3H when UDP-D-[5-3H, 1-14C]glucose is oxidized by UDP-D-glucose dehydrogenase from germinating lily pollen. The evidence obtained from this study favors a functional role for the myo-inositol oxidation-pathway during in vivo conversion of glucose into galactosyluronic residues of pectin in germinating lily pollen.
