Multiplicity of acid phosphatase catalyzing FMN hydrolysis in spinach leaves.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The separation method and some properties of isodynamic acid phosphatases catalyzing FMN hydrolysis in spinach leaves were investigated. 1. The enzyme catalyzing FMN hydrolysis was found to occur practically and exclusively in the final supernatant fraction by differential centrifugation. 2. Acid phosphatase catalyzing FMN hydrolysis was separated into three fractions by chromatography on Sephadex G-100, equilibrated with 0.2 M

On the Enzymatic hydrolysis of FAD in spinach leaves.
The existence and biochemical functions of flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) have been well recognized in plants as well as in other living cells. There are some informa tions concerning the biosynthesis of FAD from flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and ATP by a reversible reaction, catalzyed by FAD pyrophosphorylase in beans (1), yeast (2, 3) and animals (4, 5, 6). On the other hand, the FAD hydroly...
متن کاملEnzyme regulation in c(4) photosynthesis : identification and localization of activities catalyzing the synthesis and hydrolysis of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate in corn leaves.
Activities catalyzing the synthesis of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (fructose-6-phosphate,2-kinase or Fru-6-P,2K) and its breakdown (fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase or Fru-2,6-P(2)ase) were identified in leaves of corn (Zea mays), a C(4) plant. Fru-6-P,2K and Fru-2,6-P(2)ase were both localized mainly, if not entirely, in the leaf mesophyll cells. A partially purified preparation containing the two ac...
متن کاملAbsence of Acid Phosphatase from Chloroplasts of Spinach and Iris.
The presence of phosphatases in leaves is well known. The acid phosphatase of leaves appears to lack specificity with respect to hydrolyzable substrates (1, 6, 7, 8). Glycerophosphate has always been found to be an effective substrate (1, 5, 6, 7, 8). However, there is some evidence for the plurality of the acid phosphatase of leaves in that specific effects of activators and inhibitors have be...
متن کاملPreparation and properties of spinach ribonuclease.
Many investigators (l-6) have reported that crude extracts from a large number of plant sources are capable of catalyzing the depolymerization of ribonucleic acid. Only those plant ribonucleases obtained from pea leaves (7, S), tobacco leaves (9), and ryegrass (10) have been extensively purified, and none has been prepared as an entirely pure protein. It was a major objective of the work descri...
متن کاملCholine kinase and phosphorylcholine phosphatase in plants.
Choline kinase was present in barley and wheat roots and leaves of barley, wheat, tobacco, spinach and squash plants. The kinase was purified 25-fold from spinach leaves. The enzyme had a broad pH optimum between 7.5 and 10.0. Mg(++) was required for activity and in the presence of Mg(++) the enzyme was relatively stable. Maximum enzyme activity was obtained when the Mg(++): ATP ratio was 1:1. ...
