The level of diamine oxidase in pea seedling stems has been determined as a function of time after germination in both etiolated and non-etiolated plants. The maximum amount of enzyme per plant is obtained between 11 and 13 days. The amount of activity per gram of tissue appears to be proportional to the rate of growth. We describe an efficient method of isolation of pea seedling stem diamine oxidase from 12-day-old etiolated seedlings, a procedure that brings the enzyme to purity after a 97-fold purification. A new assay procedure for pea seedling diamine oxidase is detailed and compared to previously used methods. The kinetic parameters for three common substrates have also been determined. SDS-acrylamide gel electrophoresis, gel filtration chromatography and copper analyses have been used to determine that pea seedling diamine oxidase exists as a dimer of two apparently identical subunits, the dimer molecular weight being about 190,000. The isoelectric point of this enzyme was determined to be 6.5.  相似文献

1. Pig kidney and pea seedling diamine oxidases have similar sensitivity to methylhydrazine and phenylhydrazine as inhibitors. 2. Inhibition of pig kidney and pea seedling enzymes by hydrazine and guanidine compounds is time dependent. To reveal full inhibitory potency, methylhydrazine and aminoguanidine need longer preincubation with plant diamine oxidase as compared with mammalian diamine oxidase. 3. Impromidine, a known H2 histamine receptor agonist with guanidine and imidazole structures, and aminoguanidine have higher inhibitory activity towards pig kidney enzyme in comparison with the pea seedling one. 4. Impromidine inhibits pig kidney diamine oxidase in a noncompetitive manner. The Ki value is 6.6 muM. 5. The 24 hr dialysis of rat intestinal diamine oxidase preincubated with phenylhydrazine or impromidine only partially recovered the enzymic activities. 6. Impromidine inhibits mouse intestinal diamine oxidase in vivo.  相似文献

Several methods for the isolation of apparently homogeneous pig kidney diamine oxidase have been reported in recent years (1-7), but these procedures allow to obtain only little amounts of material making very difficult the study of the molecular properties of the enzyme. Drawing useful indication from the purification procedures previously reported, we were able to set up a new method which allows to obtain homogeneous enzyme samples in high yield and with good reproducibility. This procedure allowed to determine with greater accuracy the molecular weight of the enzyme that resulted to be 170,000 daltons by gel chromatography and 145,000 by ultracentrifuge. The enzyme is composed of two apparently identical subunits and contains two copper atoms per dimer. The amino acid composition of the protein has been also worked out and found similar to those already reported for other copper dependent amine oxidases. Pig kidney diamine oxidase is a glycoprotein containing about 20% sugars by weight.  相似文献

Diamine oxidase (EC 1.4.3.6) was purified from 5-day-old etiolated seedlings ofLathyrus sativus by MnCl2 treatment, (NH4)2SO4 and acetone fractionations, DEAE-Sephadex chromatography followed by gel filtration on Sephadex G-200. A single step purification of the enzyme was achieved by using an immunoaffinity column, wherein rabbit antibodies to the homogeneous diamine oxidase were coupled to CNBr-activated Sepharose. The enzyme thus obtained was homogeneous by electrophoretic, immunological and ultracentrifugal criteria. It had anM r of 148,000 (6.46S) and was a dimer with similar sub-units (M r 75,000). Amino acid analysis showed the absence of cysteine residues although it contained five disulphide bonds. The enzyme had copper (2.7 g atom/mol enzyme) but was not a glycoprotein. No absorption maximum in the visible region was detectable. Ethylenediamine 1,3-diaminopropane and histamine were potent competitive inhibitors for the substrate putrescine. The addition of monospecific antibodies to the enzyme increased the Km for benzyl amine without any change in the Vmax Diamine oxidase from pea seedling, partially purified, exhibited complete crossreactivity with the antibodies to theL. sativus enzyme.  相似文献

The effect of the removal of cotyledons on the growth of etiolated pea plants and on the changes in diamine oxidase activity were followed. Plants with removed cotyledons showed higher diamine oxidase activity both in the shoots and in the roots when expressed per fresh weight unit. Higher diamine oxidase activity can be found also in the remaining cotyledon when one of the two cotyledons is removed (when expressed per fresh weight unit and per cotyledon). The plants belonging to those experimental variants in which a higher diamine oxidase activity was established (plants without cotyledons) had simultaneously a high content of its substrates. These plants at the same time contained in the shoots and in the roots smaller amounts of potassium. On the other hand, these findings cannot be applied when comparing individual organs (shoots and roots), as higher diamine oxidase activity can be found in the shoots than in the roots, but the content of its substrates is in the shoots lower. These data indicate that the relationship between the activity of diamine oxidase and the content of its substrates is probably rather complicated. In the connection with the fact that a high diamine oxidase activity can occur in the plant simultaneously with a high content of its substrates, it is possible to assume that (a) changes in the pattern of substrates may occur after the removing of the cotyledons, (b) the synthesis of diamine oxidase may be induced owing to a higher accumulation of substrates, (c) the enzyme may be spacially separated from the substrates in the cells.  相似文献

The time courses of the synthesis of diamine oxidase in pea plants grown for 14 days either in the light or in the dark are similar with the highest increase in activity occurring in the cotyledons and in the shoots during the first 6 to 8 days. Plants grown in the dark showed a 2- to 3-fold higher enzyme activity than plants grown in the light. Pea diamine oxidase could bein vivo efficiently inhibited by substrate analogues 1,4-diamino-2-butanone and 1,5-diamino-3-pentanone. The first compound inhibited proportionally to its concentration the growth of etiolated pea plants, but its instability makes an unequivocal interpretation of the results difficult. On the other hand, 1,5-diamino-3-pentanone a stable and more efficient diamine oxidase inhibitor depressed the growth of pea seedlings only at concentrations as high as 5 mM and 10 mM, at which the growth of cress seedlings not containing diamine oxidase was also strongly depressed. The results obtained indicate that tryptamine oxidation catalyzed by diamine oxidase is not involved in the main metabolic pathway leading from tryptophan to indoleacetate in pea plants.  相似文献

A procedure has been developed for the purification of amine oxidase (E.C. 1.4.3.4) from etiolated pea epicotyls (Pisum sativum cv. Little Marvel). The enzyme is sensitive to copper chelating reagents and carbonyl reagents, but is not inhibited by sulfhydryl reagents. The purified enzyme has a molecular weight of 1.85 × 105, as determined by sedimentation equilibrium centrifugation, and has been shown to be specifically stimulated by phosphate.  相似文献

Occurrence of diamine oxidase in the apoplast of pea epicotyls   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Most of the diamine oxidase (EC 1.4.3.6) present in pea (Pisum sativum L. cv. Rondo) epicotyls is found in the fluid obtained by centrifuging pea epicotyl sections previously infiltrated under vacuum with a buffer solution. No detectable amount of the cytoplasmic enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase is present in this fluid, showing that there is very little contamination by cell contents. Polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and specific-activity data indicate that diamine oxidase is the most plentiful protein in the extracellular solution obtained from pea epicotyl sections and that an active process is involved in the selective transfer of the enzyme outside the cell. The possible involvement of diamine oxidase in the supply of H2O2 to peroxidase-catalyzed reactions occurring inside the cell wall is discussed.Abbreviations DAO diamine oxidase - Glc6P glucose-6-phosphate  相似文献

The activity of diamine oxidase (EC 1.4.3.6.) in pea, Pisum sativum cv Alaska, cotyledons was studied. The rapid hydration caused by soaking seeds in water, the excision of the embryonic axis, and the suppression of the elongation of the embryonic axis by indoleacetic acid generate anaerobic conditions in these cotyledons that suppress diamine oxidase activity. These results show that oxygen is essential for the induction of diamine oxidase activity in pea cotyledons. During germination cotyledonary diamine oxidase develops as a result of the supply of oxygen through the embryonic axis of the intact pea seedling.  相似文献

A novel, simple, and rapid procedure for the purification of pea seedling amine oxidase is reported. The crude enzyme, obtained by ammonium sulfate fractionation, was purified in two steps: the first one by anion-exchange chromatography and the second one by affinity chromatography. The first chromatography step was carried out on a diethylaminoethyl-cellulose column. By lowering the amount of protein loaded on the column and the buffer concentration it was possible to obtain an enzyme pure at 95% (sp act 1.2 microkat/mg). To achieve a higher degree of purification various affinity resins were prepared and tested. The resins were obtained by covalent immobilization of polyamines on Sepharose according to three different procedures. The best results were obtained with 6-aminohexyl-Sepharose 2B, prepared using CNBr as coupling agent, and eluting the enzyme by a solution containing 1, 4-diaminocyclohexane. This last compound was found to be a relatively strong competitive inhibitor of the oxidative deamination of cadaverine catalyzed by pea seedling amine oxidase (Ki = 32 microM). According to this procedure an electrophoretically homogeneous enzyme, characterized by a specific activity of 1.63 microkat/mg, was obtained.  相似文献

A reexamination has been made for the supposed regulation of pea (Pisum sativum cv Alaska) cotyledonary diamine oxidase (EC 1.4.3.6) activity by the embryonic axis. When dry cotyledons from which the embryo and testa have been removed surgically are imbibed by soaking in water, there is little increase of the enzyme activity during subsequent incubation on filter paper. However, if the dry cotyledons are imbibed and maintained on filter paper from the first, the increase of the enzyme activity is similar to that in the intact seedling. Thus, rapid imbibition of the isolated dry cotyledons is responsible for repression of enzyme development, and a role for the axis need not be invoked.  相似文献

When the stereospecifically deuterated dopamine enantiomers, (R)- and (S)-[alpha-2H1]dopamine, are incubated with amine oxidases, the deuterium atom may be either retained to form monodeuterated 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde, or eliminated to produce the nondeuterated or protio-aldehyde product. These two aldehydes can be separated from one another and identified by high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection. Three types of stereospecific abstraction of a hydrogen from the alpha-carbon of dopamine during deamination have been observed. In the first type, the pro-R hydrogen is removed from the alpha-carbon. Enzymes in this category are mitochondrial monoamine oxidases A and B, as isolated from different tissues and species. The second type of deamination involves the abstraction of pro-S hydrogen from the alpha-carbon of dopamine. Soluble enzymes, such as rat aorta benzylamine oxidase or diamine oxidase from hog kidney and pea seedling, have been found to belong to this group. Bovine plasma amine oxidase exhibits the third type of deamination where no absolute stereospecificity is required. This enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of either (S)- or (R)-[alpha-2H1]dopamine, preferably breaking the C-H bond rather than the C-2H bond in both cases. The kinetic deuterium isotope effect during the deamination of dopamine catalyzed by the different amine oxidases varies greatly; VH/VD ranges from 1.5 to 5.5. The high magnitude of the isotope effect suggests that hydrogen abstraction may be the rate-limiting step (i.e., in reactions catalyzed by benzylamine oxidase and monoamine oxidase). When the isotope effect is low (i.e., for diamine oxidases from hog kidney or pea seedling), it is uncertain if the breaking of the bond is rate limiting.  相似文献

Electrophoretically pure hog kidney diamine oxidase has been isolated by an improved procedure and subjected to molecular weight and subunit analyses. Sedimentation/diffusion and sedimentation equilibrium ultracentrifugation clearly show that the native enzyme has a molecular weight of 172,000. Acrylamide gel electrophoresis indicates that the enzyme consists of two apparently identical subunits of 91,000 daltons each. The native enzyme contains two firmly bound Cu(II) ions. The isolation procedure described provides diamine oxidase in 50–60% yield of activity and of the highest specific activity yet reported (1.2 units/mg).  相似文献

The crude extracts of 3-day-old etiolated seedlings of Lathyrus sativus contained two S-adenosyl-L-methionine decarboxylase activities. The artifactual putrescine-dependent activity was due to the H2O2 generated by diamine oxidase (EC 1.4.3.6) of this plant system and was inhibited by catalase. This observation was confirmed by using an electrophoretically and immunologically homogeneous preparation of L. sativus diamine oxidase. In the presence of putrescine, diamine oxidase, in addition to S-adenosylmethionine, decarboxylated L-lysine, L-arginine, L-ornithine, L-methionine and L-glutamic acid to varying degrees. The decarboxylation was not metal-ion dependent. The biosynthetic S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.21) was detected after removing diamine oxidase specifically from the crude extracts by employing an immunoaffinity column. This Mg2+-dependent decarboxylase was not stimulated by putrescine or inhibited by catalase. The enzyme activity was inhibited by semicarbazide, 4-bromo-3-hydroxybenzoylamine dihydrogen phosphate and methylglyoxal-bis (guanylhydrazone). It was largely localized in the shoots of the etiolated seedlings and was purified 40-fold by employing a p-hydroxymercuribenzoate/AH-Sepharose affinity column, which also separated the decarboxylase activity from spermidine synthase.  相似文献

Diamine-oxidase (DAO; EC 1.4.3.6) activity and di-and polyamine levels were estimated along the epicotyl and root of light-grown and etiolated lentil (Lens culinaris Medicus) and pea (Pisum sativum L.) seedlings. The activity of DAO was higher in etiolated epicotyls than in lightgrown ones. In both species there was a positive correlation between DAO activity and the diamine (putrescine and cadaverine) levels along the whole epicotyl and root. Polyamine (spermine and spermidine) distribution seemed to be associated with the meristematic and elongating zone of the epicotyl and root. The physiological function of DAO is discussed in relation to its possible role in providing hydrogen peroxide to peroxidase-dependent reactions occurring in the cell wall.Abbreviations CAD cadaverine - DA diamine - DAO diamine oxidase - PA polyamine - PUT putrescine - SPD spermidine - SPM spermine  相似文献

The binding of ionic and nonionic, nondenaturing detergents to cytochrome c oxidase has been examined. All bind and displace part but not all of the phospholipid that is associated with the enzyme after isolation. From 6 to 10 phospholipid molecules, depending on the detergent used, do not exchange and these are mostly diphosphatidylglycerol molecules as first shown by Awasthi et al. ((1971) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 226, 42). The binding of Triton X-100 and deoxycholate to the cytochrome c oxidase complex has been studied in detail. Both bind to the enzyme above their critical micelle concentrations: Triton X-100 in the amount of 180 +/- 10 molecules per complex and deoxycholate in the amount of 80 +/- 4 molecules per complex. In nonionic detergents, cytochrome c oxidase exists as a dimer (4 heme complex). The enzyme is dissociated into the monomer or heme aa3 complex by delipidation in bile salts. Activity measurements in different detergents suggest that cytochrome c oxidase requires a flexible, hydrophobic environment for maximal activity and that the dimer or 4 heme complex may be the active species.  相似文献

Diamine oxidase was prepared from pea (Pisum sativum) seedlings by a new purification procedure involving two h.p.l.c. steps. We studied the optical and electrochemical properties of the homogeneous enzyme and also analysed the hydrolysed protein by several methods. The data presented here suggest that the carbonyl cofactor of diamine oxidase is firmly bound pyrroloquinoline quinone.  相似文献

A diamine oxidase enzyme has been isolated from pea epicotyls and purified. The in vitro rates at which a number of amines, structurally related to plant growth substances, are oxidised by this enzyme have been measured. These rates when considered together with the growth regulating activity of the acid ultimately produced, enable an assessment of the activity of the amine as a hormone-type herbicide to be made.  相似文献

An enzyme system which metabolizes α-tocopherol has been identified in homogenates of etiolated pea shoots. Enzyme activity is considerably increased by the presence of 20% ethanol in the incubation mixture. The enzyme has an absolute requirement for phospholipid. The reaction utilizes molecular oxygen and it is proposed that the enzyme be called α-tocopherol oxidase.  相似文献

Diamine oxidase was previously measured in human pregnancy serum with putrescine or histamine as substrate. We have now documented the presence of spermidine oxidase activity in pregnancy serum by means of a specific radioactive assay with [14C]spermidine as substrate and Dowex 50 cation-exchange chromatography to separate products from substrate. The apparent Km of a partially purified preparation of this enzyme for spermidine was 10.9 microM and the Ki for aminoguanidine was 0.8 microM. The pH optimum (pH 9.0) and temperature optimum (55 degrees C) were identical with those for diamine oxidase. Spermidine oxidase activity and diamine oxidase activity eluted in a concerted fashion when pregnancy serum was subjected to cadaverine-Sepharose chromatography, gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography. Spermidine oxidase became detectable in serum during pregnancy in the human approx. 8 weeks after the last menstrual period and increased with gestational age in concert with the increase in diamine oxidase activity, reaching a plateau at 20 weeks of gestation. Foetal-cord serum displayed virtually no activity of either enzyme. A 400-fold-purified preparation of diamine oxidase retained the same diamine oxidase/spermidine oxidase ratio as exhibited by crude pregnancy serum. These data suggest that in pregnancy serum, unlike foetal bovine serum, spermidine oxidase and diamine oxidase activity may be a single enzyme protein.  相似文献
