چکیده

The successful use of yeast mutants in the study of the cytochrome system (1) suggested that similar techniques could be applied to the study of the synthesis of terminal oxidase systems in other organisms. With this in mind, mutants of Glomerella cingulata, which form varying amounts of color in their mycelia as a result of tyrosinase activity (2), were studied for their tyrosinase and cytochrome oxidase contents, as a function of their age in culture.

Induction and expression of cutinase activity during saprophytic growth of the fungal plant pathogen, Glomerella cingulata

The fungus Glomerella cingulata damages a wide range of crops in the tropics and subtropics. This fungus produces an extracellular enzyme, cutinase, which has been implicated in the plant disease process. A cutin monomer, 16hydroxyhexadecanoic acid was used to induce cutinolytic esterase activity during saprophytic growth of G. cingulata. Cutinolytic esterase was induced in cultures grown in cu...

Structural and Activity Comparison of Native, Apo and Reconstituted Tyrosinase

Background: Mushroom Tyrosinase a potent candidate in clinical studies known as polyphenol oxidase, is a metaloenzyme from the oxidase superfamily widely distributed from lower to higher life forms. It plays a crucial role in sclerotization of exoskeleton in insects, also responsible for skin pigmentation in mammalians. Objective: In this study, after reconstitution of MT by some metal io...

Natural peptides and proteins: potent tyrosinase inhibitors

Background and objectives: Tyrosinase is a copper containing oxidase which is crucial for controlling the production of melanin in creatures such as bacteria, fungi, plants and mammals. It is involved in the first two steps of melanin biosynthesis and leads to pigmentation and different types of cancer such as melanoma. Also, it is responsible for browning of fruits and vegetab...

Heterologous overexpression of Glomerella cingulata FAD-dependent glucose dehydrogenase in Escherichia coli and Pichia pastoris

BACKGROUND FAD dependent glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) currently raises enormous interest in the field of glucose biosensors. Due to its superior properties such as high turnover rate, substrate specificity and oxygen independence, GDH makes its way into glucose biosensing. The recently discovered GDH from the ascomycete Glomerella cingulata is a novel candidate for such an electrochemical applic...
