چکیده
introduction: oxalate oxidase (ec.1, 2, 3, 4), an acute phase protein of plants, is used widely in agriculture, food industries, medical diagnosis of kidney stones and oxaluria. in this study oxalate oxidase from barley was purified and partially characterized. materials & methods: roots and sprouts of barley cultured in hydroponic states were separated and extracted. ion exchange resins of the enzyme were done through heat treatment (80°c, 3min), ammonium sulphate fractionation and two-step chromatography. purification and weight-determining of the enzyme were done by deae-cellulose and deae-sepharose fast flow, respectively. the enzyme activity was measured by spectrophotometric and specific gel staining methods. purity and molecular mass of the product was estimated using sds-page. isoelectric points (pis) of the separated enzymes were estimated using chromatofocusing and isoelectric focusing. in addition, the effect of different concentrations of urea and denaturing agents were tested on the enzyme activity. results: oxalate oxidase was purified at least 688-fold with purity of more than 90 percent. the molecular mass of the enzyme was estimated to be 25-26 and 115-120 kda, respectively in reducing and non-reducing sds-page. the enzyme sub-units showed no activity in the specific gel staining method. at least two isoenzymes with pis of 6.8 and 6-6.2 were identified. the purified enzyme was resistant to many denaturing agents such as heat, urea and detergents. these characteristics make oxalate oxidase a suitable enzyme for oxalate assays. conclusion: so in accordance with the obtaind data from this study, it can be concluded that we can utilize the purification method of this enzyme for measuring oxalate.

Objective: Enzymes like oxalate oxidase (EC 1.2.3.4) and superoxide dismutase (EC 1.15.1.1) from germin family are known to generate active oxygen species. In the mammalian system, excess accumulations of oxalate causes kidney stones. Oxalate oxidase, an H2O2-generating enzyme, used for detection of oxalate. The aim of the present work is to screen out the activity of enzymes from all three sta...
متن کاملPartial purification and characterization of endoproteinases from senescing barley leaves.
Two major endoproteinases were purified from senescing primary barley leaves. The major enzyme (EP(1)) appeared to be a thiol proteinase and accounted for about 85% of the total proteolytic activity measured in vitro. This proteinase was purified 5,800-fold and had a molecular weight of 28,300. It was highly unstable in the absence of dithiothreitol or at a pH greater than 7.5. Leupeptin, at a ...

A peptidase acting on Leu-Gly-Gly and Leu-Tyr at pH 8 to 10 was purified about 670-fold from germinated grains of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). Gel electrophoretic analyses indicated a purity of about 90%. The purified enzyme is remarkably similar to mammalian leucine aminopeptidases (EC 3.4.1.1) both in chemical and in enzymatic properties. It has a sedimentation constant of 12.7S and a molecul...

متن کاملBarley (Hordeum vulgare) oxalate oxidase is a manganese-containing enzyme.
Oxalate oxidase (EC 1.2.3.4) catalyses the conversion of oxalate and dioxygen into CO(2) and H(2)O(2). The barley (Hordeum vulgare) seedling root enzyme was purified to homogeneity and shown by metal analysis and EPR spectroscopy to contain Mn(II) at up to 0.80 atom per subunit. The involvement of Mn and neither flavin, Cu nor Fe in the direct conversion of dioxygen to H(2)O(2) makes oxalate ox...
