Studies on the b-Type Cytochromes from Mung Bean Seedlings
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the previous papers of this series (1, 2), some of the properties of purified mung bean cytochrome b-555 have been described. The present investigation was undertaken to gain some information on the chemical structure of this hemoprotein. The size, amino acid composition, and terminal amino acids of cytochrome b-555 have been examined; the nature of the binding between heme and protein has also been studied.

Mung Bean (Vigna radiata) Seedlings'
Two forms of Fd-NADP+ oxidoreductase (FNR) isoproteins have been purified and characterized from the first foliage leaves of 5d-old mung bean (Vigna radiata). They could be separated by either Mono Q HR 515 or ferredoxin (Fd)-Sepharose 48 affinity columns. Based on immunoblot analysis and N-terminal amino acid sequences, one form resembles the FNR purified from photosynthetic tissues of higher ...
متن کاملCyanide - insensitive Respiration in Plant Mitochondrial
Pathways of electron transport have been studied in mitochondria isolated from hypocotyls of etiolated mung bean seedlings and skunk cabbage spadices that show cyanide-resistant respiratory activity. The residual flux through cytochrome c oxidase is shown to be small in comparison with the flux through an unidentified alternative oxidase that is known to have a high affinity for oxygen. This al...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of lipoxygenase from mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) germinating seedlings
This study reports purification and characterization of lipoxygenase protein from mung bean germinating seedlings. Lipoxygenases (LOXs) are key enzymes in seed germination. The purified mung bean LOX has resolved into two peaks by chromatofocusing, one has highest LOX activity with an isoelectric point of 5.84 and the other has lowest LOX activity with an isoelectric point of 5.52. The purified...
متن کاملFluoride Inhibition of [2- 14c]thymidine Incorporation into Dna in Mung Bean Seedlings
The effect of sodium fluoride (NaF) on the incorporation of [2-14C] thymidine into DNA in germinating mung bean (Vigna radiate cv Uthong-1) seedlings was studied. One-day-old mung bean seedlings were treated with water (control) or 1.0 mM NaF containing [2-14C]thymidine for 24 h and the thymidine incorporation into various parts of the radicle was examined. Silver grains shown by the autoradiog...
متن کاملAnalysis of Photosynthetic Characteristics and UV-B Absorbing Compounds in Mung Bean Using UV-B and Red LED Radiation
Mung bean has been reported to have antioxidant, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor activities. Various factors have important effects on the types and contents of plant chemical components. In order to study quality of mung bean from different light sources, mung bean seedlings were exposed to red light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and ultraviolet-B (UV-B). Changes in the growth paramete...
