چکیده
Studies with extracts obtained from mung beans (Phaseolus aureus) showed that UDP-N-acetyl d-glucosamine is formed from d-fructose 6-phosphate by a series of the following enzymic reactions: [Formula: see text]UDP-N-acetyl-d-glucosamine inhibits the first reaction in the multistep pathway leading to its biosynthesis.

Partial Purification and Properties of l-Glutamine d-Fructose 6-Phosphate Amidotransferase from Phaseolus aureus.
l-Glutamine d-fructose 6-phosphate amidotransferase (EC 2.6.1.16) was extracted and purified 600-fold by acetone fractionation and diethylaminoethyl cellulose column chromatography from mung bean seeds (Phaseolus aureus). The partially purified enzyme was highly specific for l-glutamine as an amide nitrogen donor, and l-asparagine could not replace it. The enzyme showed a pH optimum in the rang...

Radioactivity from d-glucosamine-(14)C is incorporated into particulate fractions of hypocotyls of Phaseolus aureus (mung bean) seedlings. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the sodium dodecyl sulfate-solubilized materials revealed that several polypeptide components varying considerably in molecular weight had become radioactive during the incubation. A considerable amount of (14)C was also...
