Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase, catalase, glycolate oxidase, and hydroxypyruvate reductase activities on a protein and fresh weight basis were measured over seven stages of tomato fruit development and ripening. Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase decreased steadily during fruit development from 23 +/- 8 nmoles per minute per milligram protein at the mature green stage to 13.4 +/- 2 at the table ripe stage. There was no change in partially purified preparations of the enzyme in the ratio of carboxylase to oxygenase activity, which was about 10. Catalase activity reached a maximum during the climacteric, simultaneously with increased ethylene and CO(2) formation. Glycolate oxidase activity decreased during early stages of development and was barely detectable at the climacteric. Hydroxypyruvate reductase, associated with serine formation by the glycerate pathway, increased in specific activity during early stages of tomato fruit ripening. In the fruit of the rin tomato mutant, which does not ripen normally, none of these changes in enzyme activity occurred.
