[Beta-cyanoalanine synthase from white lupin: some catalytic properties]. 1981

S M Galoian, and E A Tolosa, and I G Villgardt, and E V Goriachenkova

Highly purified beta-cyanoalanine synthase was prepared from 11-day-old etiolated sprouts of white lupine in the presence of diisopropylfluorophosphate. The enzyme preparations were homogeneous during polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis; their specific activity exceeded that of the blue lupine enzyme 100-fold. The purification procedure included preparation of mitochondrial acetonated powder, isolation of enzyme, chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-50, fractionation on Sephadex G-100 and preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Some physico-chemical and catalytic properties of the enzyme, e. g. stability upon storage, pH optimum, isoelectric point, amino acid composition, effect of buffers on the enzyme activity, substrate and cosubstrate specificity, etc., were studied. Some properties of the enzyme were found different from those of the blue lupine enzyme. The Km values for the substrates and cosubstrates of cyanoalanine synthase were determined. The effects of some anions and cations on the enzyme activity are described.

D008190 Lyases A class of enzymes that catalyze the cleavage of C-C, C-O, and C-N, and other bonds by other means than by hydrolysis or oxidation. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992) EC 4. Desmolase,Desmolases,Lyase
D010944 Plants Multicellular, eukaryotic life forms of kingdom Plantae. Plants acquired chloroplasts by direct endosymbiosis of CYANOBACTERIA. They are characterized by a mainly photosynthetic mode of nutrition; essentially unlimited growth at localized regions of cell divisions (MERISTEMS); cellulose within cells providing rigidity; the absence of organs of locomotion; absence of nervous and sensory systems; and an alternation of haploid and diploid generations. It is a non-taxonomical term most often referring to LAND PLANTS. In broad sense it includes RHODOPHYTA and GLAUCOPHYTA along with VIRIDIPLANTAE. Plant
D006863 Hydrogen-Ion Concentration The normality of a solution with respect to HYDROGEN ions; H+. It is related to acidity measurements in most cases by pH pH,Concentration, Hydrogen-Ion,Concentrations, Hydrogen-Ion,Hydrogen Ion Concentration,Hydrogen-Ion Concentrations
