IPOMEAMARONE ACCUMULATION AND LIPID METABOLISM IN SWEET POTATO INFECTED BY THE BLACK ROT FUNGUS II. ACCUMULATION MECHANISM OF IPOMEAMARONE IN THE INFECTED REGION WITH SPECIAL REGARD TO CONTRIBUTION OF THE NON-INFECTED TISSUE

Tracer studies with the use of 2-¹⁴C-acetate revealed that theinfected tissue of diseased sweet potato roots with black rotwas incapable of synthesizing ipomeamarone from acetate, butwas capable of synthesizing it from some intermediate(s) whichwas produced from acetate by the non-infected tissue in a shortperiod. It is very likely that migration of the intermediate(s)from the non-infected tissue to the infected region occurs duringinfection process. Significance of the intermediate(s) in ipomeamaroneaccumulation was discussed. ¹This paper constitutes Part 41 of Phytopathological Chemistryof Sweet Potato with Black Rot.     

IPOMEAMARONE ACCUMULATION AND LIPID METABOLISM IN SWEET POTATO INFECTED BY THE BLACK ROT FUNGUS I. IDENTIFICATION OF STEROL AND CHANGES IN LIPID METABOLISM DURING INFECTION PROCESS

Changes in lipid contents during infection process in the non-infectedtissue adjacent to the infected region of diseased sweet potatoroots with black rot were examined in comparison with cut controltissue. Incorporation of 2 ¹⁴C-acetate and ³²P-phosphate intolipid fraction was also investigated. Although there was nosignificant change in lipid ester groups in both tissues, increasein phospholipids was found in diseased tissue. Sterol isolatedfrom fresh material was identified with ß-sitosterol.Chromatographic patterns of non-phospholipid fraction of diseasedtissue suggested that some metabolic alteration of this fractionmight occur in response to infection. ¹This paper constitutes Part 40 of Phytopathological Chemistryof Sweet Potato with Black Rot.     

CHANGE OF B-TYPE HAEM CONTENT IN RELATION TO PEROXIDASE BIOSYNTHESIS IN INJURED SWEET POTATO ROOTS

The methods of quantitative analysis of b-type haem in plantswere investigated. With an improved method developed was determinedthe haem content in the supernatant, mitochondrial, and microsomalfractions of sweet potato tissue. The activities of peroxidase,catalase, and cytochrome oxidase, as well as the contents ofb-type haem and acid-insoluble nitrogen in the cellular fractionswere determined at different incubation times after cuttingof sweet potato tissue. Peroxidase and catalase increased withtime in each celluler fraction, following a short lag phase.In the mitochondrial fraction, b-type haem, cytochrome oxidase,and acid insoluble nitrogen increased linearly with time. Inthe microsomal and supernatant fraction, b-type haem increasedwith time following a short lag phase. The increase in haemcontent of the supernatant fraction appeared to be associatedwith peroxidase formation. Time course analysis showed that ⁵⁹Fe-incorporation into b-typehaem of the supernatant fraction increased with time and thatincorporation was markedly inhibited by blasticidin S. The incorporationof ⁵⁹Fe into mitochondrial haem did not increase with time andwas not inhibited by blasticidin S. Blasticidin S inhibited⁵⁹Fe-incorporation into microsomal haem. Time course analysisof b-type haem content, ⁵⁹Fe-incorporation into b-type haem,and peroxidase activity suggest that in the injured tissue haemis synthesized from low molecular weight compounds and is incorporatedinto peroxidase as the haem moiety. ¹ This paper constitutes Part 57 of the Phytopathological Chemistryof Sweet Potato with Black Rot. ² Present address: Institute for Plant Virus Research, Chiba.     

假单胞杆菌D-海因酶的纯化及酶学性质

D-海因酶是工业上生产D-型氨基酸的关键酶,用热变性,硫酸铵沉淀及Sepharose Q fast flow,Phenyl-Sepharose fast flow,Superose 12等柱层析步骤从pseudomonas2262菌体中分离纯化了该酶,纯化倍数约为60,活力回收约为16%.该酶为同源二聚体,分子量约为109kD,亚基分子量约为53.7kD,反应最适pH为8.0,最适温度为70℃,在pH6.0～10.0和温度60℃以下稳定,该酶对巯基试剂敏感,大多数二价金属离子如镁、锰离子等能促使酶活提高,但高浓度锌离子能抑制酶活,以二氢尿嘧啶为底物的米氏常数Km=2.5×10-2mol/L.该酶的N末端10个氨基酸残基依次为MDKLIKNGTI.     

黄孢原毛平革菌木素过氧化物酶类在天然木素降解中作用的研究

通过诱变得到十一株木素过氧化物酶酶活降低的黄孢原毛平革菌（Ｐｈａｎｅｒｏｃｈａｅｔｅｃｈｒｙｓｏｓｐｏｒｉｕｍ）突变株,用灰色理论分析了其木素过氧化物酶类的产生与木素降解能力间的相关性,并从中筛选到一株木素过氧化物酶缺陷、锰过氧化物酶酶活明显降低的突变株,其木素降解能力为原始菌株的８０％左右。该菌粗酶液作用于纤维素酶酶解杉木木素和天然褐腐木素,可产生小分子的木素降解产物,此反应不需Ｈ２Ｏ２参与。红外光谱分析表明粗酶液对木素的作用主要为氧化作用,因此推测此突变株粗酶液中含有不同于木素过氧化物酶和锰过氧化物酶的与木素氧化降解有关的酶类
