Oxidation of spermine by an amine oxidase from lentil seedlings.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spermine is a substrate of lentil (Lens culinaris) seedling amine oxidase and the oxidation products are reversible inactivators of the enzyme. The spermine is oxidized at the terminal amino groups to a dialdehyde: 2 moles of hydrogen peroxide and 2 moles of ammonia per mole of spermine are formed. The pH optimum of the enzyme with spermine is 7.9 in TI-HCI buffer; the K(m) value is 4.4.10(-4) molar, similar to that found with other substrates (putrescine and spermidine).

Conformational lock and dissociative thermal inactivation of lentil seedling amine oxidase.
The kinetics of thermal inactivation of copper-containing amine oxidase from lentil seedlings were studied in a 100 mM potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7, using putrescine as the substrate. The temperature range was between 47-60 degrees C. The thermal inactivation curves were not linear at 52 and 57 degrees C; three linear phases were shown. The first phase gave some information about the number...
متن کاملSome properties of amine oxidase from soybean seedlings.
The purpose of the present study was to clarify the properties of amine oxidase partially purified from soybean seedlings, which the authors used as an enzyme sample for the assay of diamines (putrescine, cadaverine) and polyamines (spermidine, spermine). The enzyme activity was highest with cadaverine followed by putrescine, spermidine, L7-diaminoheptane and spermine. The optimum pH was 7.8 fo...
متن کاملTransient kinetics of copper-containing lentil (Lens culinaris) seedling amine oxidase.
The reaction between lentil (Lens culinaris) seedling amine oxidase and its chromogenic substrate, p-dimethylaminomethylbenzylamine, has been studied by the stopped-flow technique. Upon being mixed with substrate in the absence of oxygen, the enzyme is bleached in a complex kinetic process. A yellow intermediate absorbing at 464 nm and the first product (aldehyde) are formed in subsequent steps...
متن کاملAcrolein produced from polyamines as one of the uraemic toxins.
It is well known that the addition of spermine or spermidine to culture medium containing ruminant serum inhibits cellular proliferation. This effect is caused by the products of oxidation of polyamines that are generated by serum amine oxidase. Among the products, we found that acrolein is a major toxic compound produced from spermine and spermidine by amine oxidase. We then analysed the level...
متن کاملMechanisms of spermine toxicity in baby-hamster kidney (BHK) cells. The role of amine oxidases and oxidative stress.
Spermine was toxic to BHK-21/C13 cells in the absence of any extracellular metabolism of the amine. Inhibition of copper-containing amine oxidases with aminoguanidine partially prevented the response, whereas inhibition of polyamine oxidase with MDL-72,527 exacerbated the effect. Oxidation by an intracellular copper-containing amine oxidase may be involved in the toxicity of spermine, whereas t...
