Abstract: | Amine oxidase (AO) from 4-d-old seedlings of Papaver somniferum L. (Papaveraceae) was purified (58-fold) by using ammonium sulphate precipitation and chromatography on Sephadex G-150 and HA-Ultrogel columns. The most readily oxidized substrate was tyramine and other aromatic amines, while aliphatic amines cadaverine and putrescine were oxidized more slowly. Cu chelating and carbonyl reagents are the most effective inhibitors of poppy amine oxidase. Immunoblotting analysis showed cross reactivity of AO protein from poppy seedlings with polyclonal antisera against AO from pea. Obtained Mr value for AO from poppy (83 kDa) corresponds to that of copper AOs (75 – 90 kDa). These results suggest that the amine oxidase from poppy seedlings is a copper containing and tyramine specific AO.This work was supported by the grant of Slovak Grant Agency (VEGA 1/1197/04) and by the Comenius University, Faculty of Pharmacy Grant (FaF UK/1191/2002). |
