5-Oxoprolinase (l-Pyroglutamate Hydrolase) in Higher Plants: Partial Purification and Characterization of the Wheat Germ Enzyme.
5-Oxoprolinase has been found to be widely distributed in higher plants. This enzyme catalyzes the ATP-dependent hydrolysis of 5-oxo-l-proline (l-pyrollidone carboxylate, l-pyroglutamate) to glutamate. The enzyme has been purified almost 60 fold from wheat germ (Triticum aestivum L). This enzyme requires a divalent cation, either Mn(2+) or Mg(2+), and a combination of both appears to be the mos...
متن کاملChloroplasts of higher plants synthesize L-phenylalanine via L-arogenate.
The specific enzymological route of L-phenylalanine biosynthesis has not been established in any higher plant system. The possible pathway routes that have been identified in microorganisms utilize either phenylpyruvate or L-arogenate as a unique intermediate. We now report the presence of arogenate dehydratase (which converts L-arogenate to L-phenylalanine) in cultured-cell populations of Nico...
متن کاملComparison of urinary 5-L-oxoproline (L-pyroglutamate) during normal pregnancy in women in England and Jamaica.
Urinary 5-L-oxoproline was measured during normal pregnancies in Southampton, England and Kingston, Jamaica. The CV of 5-L-oxoproline excretion in urine, determined over 7 d in a non-pregnant woman and three pregnant women, was 10-36%. Compared with non-pregnant women, urinary 5-L-oxoproline increased three to four times from early pregnancy in women in Southampton, a highly significant differe...
متن کاملInhibition of 5-oxoprolinase by 2-imidazolidone-4-carboxylic acid.
L-2-Imidazolidone-4-carboxylic acid is an effective competitive inhibitor of the reaction catalyzed by 5-oxoprolinase, in which 5-oxo-L-proline (L-pyroglutamic acid, L-2-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic acid, L-5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid) is converted to L-glutamate, with concomitant cleavage of ATP to ADP and orthophosphate. L-2-Imidazolidone-4-carboxylate decreased the rate of metabolism of 5...
متن کاملL-Ascorbate biosynthesis in higher plants: the role of VTC2.
In the past year, the last missing enzyme of the L-galactose pathway, the linear form of which appears to represent the major biosynthetic route to L-ascorbate (vitamin C) in higher plants, has been identified as a GDP-L-galactose phosphorylase. This enzyme catalyzes the first committed step in the synthesis of that vital antioxidant and enzyme cofactor. Here, we discuss how GDP-L-galactose pho...
