Nitrate reductase was protected from inactivation in wheat leaf extracts by NADH, while NADPH was less effective. NAD, NADP or adenylates did not affect nitrate reductase inactivation in vitro. Glutamine synthetase was more stable than nitrate reductase and was protected from inactivation by ATP. ADP, AMP or pyridine nucleotides had no or only a minor effect on the decrease of glutamine synthetase activity in extracts. The caseolytic activity extracted from senescing leaves was slightly decreased by NADH and NADPH but this effect was not sufficient to explain the stabilization of nitrate reductase by NADH. Oxidized pyridine nucleotides and adenylates had no major effect on the caseolytic activity under the conditions used.
