Purification and Properties of Glyoxysomal Cuprozinc Superoxide Dismutase from Watermelon Cotyledons (Citrullus vulgaris Schrad).
A glyoxysomal copper,zinc-containing superoxide dismutase (EC 1.15.1.1) was purified to homogeneity, for the first time, from watermelon cotyledons (Citrullus vulgaris Schrad.). The stepwise purification procedure consisted of acetone precipitation, batch anion-exchange chromatography, anion-exchange Fast Protein Liquid Chromatography and gel-filtration column chromatography. Pure copper,zinc-s...
متن کاملSuperoxide free radicals are produced in glyoxysomes.
The production of superoxide free radicals in pellet and supernatant fractions of glyoxysomes, specialized plant peroxisomes from watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris Schrad.) cotyledons, was investigated. Upon inhibition of the endogenous superoxide dismutase, xanthine, and hypoxanthine induced in glyoxysomal supernatants the generation of O(2) (-) radicals and this was inhibited by allopurinol. In ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Mineral Elements, Proximate and Nutritive value in Citrullus vulgaris Schrad. (Watermelon) seed extracts
Dietary elements, commonly known as dietary minerals are chemical elements required by living organisms other than the elements present in the common organic molecules. Dietary fibre and minerals are important for healthy functioning of the human body. The mineral nutrition is an important aspect and its pivotal role in human life provides healthy growth. The present study was undertaken to ana...
متن کاملQuantitative estimation of plant metabolites in the hot aqueous seed extract of watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris Schrad.)
Plants are integral part of nature. Nature is a unique source of structures of high phytochemical diversity, many of them possessing interesting biological activities and medicinal properties. The use of traditional medicines is increasing and getting popularity throughout the developed and developing world. The medicinal properties of plants are due to the presence of active principles such as...
متن کاملPeroxisomal copper, zinc superoxide dismutase. Characterization of the isoenzyme from watermelon cotyledons.
The biochemical and immunochemical characterization of a superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC 1.15.1.1) from peroxisomal origin has been carried out. The enzyme is a Cu,Zn-containing SOD (CuZn-SOD) located in the matrix of peroxisomes from watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris Schrad.) cotyledons (L.M. Sandalio and L.A. del Río [1988] Plant Physiol 88: 1215-1218). The amino acid composition of the enzyme was...
