Abstract: | The partial purification of shikimate dehydrogenase (SDH) from tomato fruit was achieved by precipitation with ammonium sulphate, and chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and hydroxyapatite. The enzyme has a MW of 73000, shows an optimum at pH 9.1 and Km values of 3.8 × 10?5 M and 1.0 × 10?5 M with shikimic acid and NADP as substrates. NADP could not be replaced by NAD. The tomato enzyme is competitively inhibited by protocatechuic acid with a Ki value of 7.7 × 10?5 M. On the other hand, cinnamic acid derivatives and 2-hydroxybenzoic acid were ineffective. At 50° for 5 min the SDH is inactivated by 85%. The activity was inhibited by pCMB and N-ethylmaleimide, suggesting a requirement for SH groups. The inactivation plot of oxidation by pCMB was biphasic, and NADP decreased the reactivity of sulphydryl groups to the reagent. The activation energy was found to be 14.2kcal/mol. The properties of the SDH are discussed in relation to the enzymes from other sources. |
