Aspartate aminotransferase in alfalfa root nodules : I. Purification and partial characterization.
Aspartate aminotransferase (l-aspartate:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase, EC 2.6.1.1 [AAT]), a key enzyme in the assimilation of C and N compounds, was purified from the cytosol of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) root nodules. Isoforms that increased during nodule development, AAT-2a, AAT-2b, and AAT-2c, were purified greater than 447-fold to apparent homogeneity, and high titer polyclonal antibodi...
متن کاملNodulin Gene Expression and ENOD2 Localization in Effective, Nitrogen-Fixing and Ineffective, Bacteria-Free Nodules of Alfalfa.
Alfalfa plants form bacteria-free nodules in response to a number of agents, including Rhizobium meliloti exo mutants, Agrobacterium tumefaciens transconjugants carrying cloned R. meliloti nodulation genes, and compounds that function as auxin transport inhibitors, N-( 1-naphthyl)phthalamic acid or 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid. These bacteria-free nodules contain transcripts for the nodulins Nms30...
متن کاملAspartate: 2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase from trichomonas vaginalis. Identity of aspartate aminotransferase and aromatic amino acid aminotransferase.
Aspartate: 2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase from the anaerobic protozoon Trichomonas vaginalis was purified to homogeneity and characterized. It is a dimeric protein of overall Mr approx. 100000. Only a single isoenzyme was found in T. vaginalis. The overall molecular and catalytic properties have features in common with both the vertebrate cytoplasmic and mitochondrial isoenzymes. The purified ...
متن کاملPhotoinactivation of aspartate aminotransferase.
The cofactor pyridoxal 5’-phosphate bound through an aldimine linkage to lysine residues of the enzyme aspartate amiuotransferase is very stable to irradiation with light of 420 nm. The catalytic function of the enzyme exposed to light absorbed by the cofactor remains unaffected, indicating that pyridoxal 5’-phosphate is not an efficient active site photosensitizer for this aminotransferase. Th...
متن کاملAcylation of aspartate aminotransferase.
1. Acetylation of aspartate aminotransferase from pig heart inhibits completely the enzymic activity when the coenzyme is in the amino form (pyridoxamine phosphate) or when the coenzyme has been removed, but not when the coenzyme is in the aldehyde form (pyridoxal phosphate). 2. The group the acylation of which is responsible for the inhibition has been identified with the in-amino group of a l...
