林生山黧豆中2,4—二氨基丁酸合成代谢的体外酶学研究

用~3H-天门冬氨酸为底物,林生山黧豆(Lathyrus sylvestris L.)叶片匀浆上清液为粗酶液,进行体外反应。结果表明,天门冬氨酸的放射性掺入到2,4-二氨基丁酸,加入谷氨酸则能抑制这种掺入。将上述粗酶液透析,加入可能的辅助因子,天门冬氨酸的放射性也掺入到2,4-二氨基丁酸。研究证实在体外天门冬氨酸可以作为2,4-二基丁酸合成的底物,在林生山黧豆体内存在催化天门冬氨酸转变为2,4-二氨基丁酸的合成酶(系)。以2,4-二氨基丁酸和γ-氨基丁酸为底物,用氨基酸自动分析仪测定产物含量,结果表明,2,4-二氨基丁酸和γ-氨基丁酸不互相转变。

IN VITRO ENZYMOLOGICAL STUDIES ON ANABOLISM OF 2,4-DIAMBVOBUTYRIC ACID IN LATHYRUS SYLVESTRIS

An in vitro synthetic reaction system was established with 2,3-3H-aspartic acid (Asp) as a substrate and the homogenate of flatpea (Lathyrus sylvestris L.) leaves as the crude enzyme extract. The results showed that 3H-Asp was incorporated into 2,4-diaminobutyric acid (DABA). The incorporation was inhibited by the addition of glutamic acid (Glu). 3H-Asp was also incorporated into DABA after the crude enzyme was dialyzed, indicating that Asp as a substrate for DABA synthesis was catalyzed by a group of enzymes which converted Asp to DABA in flatpea. From the in vitro reactions it was proved that DABA and y-aminobutyric acid (GABA) could not be mutually substituted as substrates.
