Illiminated intact chromatophore of chromatium vinosum in the presence of O-acetylserine(OAS) catalysed incorporation of SeO3(2-) into selenocysteine at rate of 359 nmol.mgBchl-1.h-1. Sonicated chromatophore catalysed SeO3(2-) incorporation at 1.1% of the rate of intact chromatophore. Addition of GSH and NADPH increased the rate to 88.3% of intact rate, but SeO3(2-) incorporation under these conditions was essentially light dependent. The purified GSH reductase from Chromatium vinosum in the presence of cysteine synthase OAs and NADPH catalysed incorporation of SeO3(2-) into selenocysteine. It is proposed that SeO3(2-) is reduced by light-coupled GSH reductase and that Se2- produced is incorporated into selenocysteine by cysteine synthase.
