It is generally assumed that the ATP required forphotosynthetic CO2 fixation derives from the ATP synthase driven by the pHgradient across the thylakoid membrane. However, there are several indicationsthat, at least under certain conditions or in certain types of chloroplast, theuptake of cytosolic ATP supplements anabolic reactions. Such an ATP uptakewould be required when photosynthesis does not deliver sufficient ATP for CO2fixation and other anabolic reactions. The plastidic ATP/ADP transporter shouldbe responsible for translocating ATP generated in the mitochondria from cytosolto stroma in these circumstances(see Fig. 3).
Depending on the rate of ATP uptake, the transport ofATP might contribute to carbon fixation either by only a few percent orsubstantially. Import of ATP ranges from 5 micromoles per milligram ofchlorophyll per hour (in spinach chloroplasts) 5 to >40 micromoles permilligram of chlorophyll per hour (in Digitaria sanguinalis chloroplasts)29.Finally, in isolated chloroplasts from sweet-pepper fruits, the addition of ATPresults in the highest observed rates of starch biosynthesis in the light 30.In conclusion, photosynthetic carbon metabolism in several organisms isobviously positively influenced by exogenous ATP; the plastidic ATP/ADPtransporter is thus important in both heterotrophic plastids (i.e. amyloplasts)and photoautotrophic plastids (i.e. chloroplasts).
