Soluble and cell wall bound gamma-glutamyltransferases (GGTs) were purified from radish (Raphanus sativus L.) cotyledons. Soluble GGTs (GGT I and II) had the same M(r) of 63,000, and were composed of a heavy subunit (M(r), 42,000) and a light one (M(r), 21,000). The properties of GGT I and II were similar. Bound GGTs (GGT A and B) were purified to homogeneity from the pellet after the extraction of soluble GGTs. GGT A and B were monomeric proteins with an M(r) of 61,000. The properties of GGT A and B were similar. Thus, bound GGTs were distinguished from soluble GGTs. The optimal pHs of soluble and bound GGTs were about 7.5. Both soluble and bound GGTs utilized glutathione, gamma-L-glutamyl-p-nitroanilide, oxidized glutathione and the conjugate of glutathione with monobromobimane as substrates, and were inhibited by acivicin, but soluble GGTs were also distinguished from bound GGTs with regard to these properties.

D018548 Cotyledon A part of the embryo in a seed plant. The number of cotyledons is an important feature in classifying plants. In seeds without an endosperm, they store food which is used in germination. In some plants, they emerge above the soil surface and become the first photosynthetic leaves.
