Isolation of spinach leaf peroxisomes in 0.25 molar sucrose solution by percoll density gradient centrifugation.

چکیده
A procedure for isolating spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) leaf peroxisomes in 0.25 molar sucrose solution by Percoll density gradient centrifugation followed by removal of the Percoll by washing and centrifugation was established. The preparation contains more than 90% peroxisomes as intact organelles with no detectable chlorophyll or cytochrome oxidase contamination. The peroxisomes are stable at 0 to 4 degrees C or 25 degrees C for at least 2 hours.

Peroxisomes from spinach leaves containing enzymes related to glycolate metabolism.
Microbodies, designated as peroxisomes because of their enzyme complement, have been isolated from spinach leaves. After grinding leaves in 0.5 M sucrose, the peroxisomes were removed with the broken chloroplast fraction by differential centrifugation. During sucrose density gradient centrifugation, the peroxisomes banded in about 1.9 M sucrose and were separated from mitochondria and chloropla...
متن کاملIsolation of intact chloroplasts and other cell organelles from spinach leaf protoplasts.
Freshly prepared spinach leaf protoplasts were gently ruptured by mechanical shearing followed by sucrose density gradient centrifugation to separate constituent cell organelles. The isolation of intact Class I chloroplasts (d = 1.21) in high yield, well separated from peroxisomes and mitochondria, was evidenced by the specific localization of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (EC 4.1.1.39)...
متن کاملA survey of plants for leaf peroxisomes.
Leaves of 10 plant species, 7 with photorespiration (spinach, sunflower, tobacco, pea, wheat, bean, and Swiss chard) and 3 without photorespiration (corn, sugarcane, and pigweed), were surveyed for peroxisomes. The distribution pattern for glycolate oxidase, glyoxylate reductase, catalase, and part of the malate dehydrogenase indicated that these enzymes exist together in this organelle. The pe...
متن کاملIsolation of Kenaf leaf peroxisomes to investigate the localization of Hibiscus chlorotic ringspot virus (HCRSV) coat protein (CP) Setiawan F. and Wong S.M
Coat protein (CP) of Hibiscus chlorotic ringspot virus (HCRSV) had been found to be responsible for the spread of infection. Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus) was used as a model organism in this study. As CP is most likely localized in the peroxisomes, there is a need to produce a protocol adapted solely for the isolation of peroxisomes from the leaf of Kenaf as peroxisomal characteristics differ gr...
متن کاملPreparation of synaptoneurosomes from mouse cortex using a discontinuous percoll-sucrose density gradient.
Synaptoneurosomes (SNs) are obtained after homogenization and fractionation of mouse brain cortex. They are resealed vesicles or isolated terminals that break away from axon terminals when the cortical tissue is homogenized. The SNs retain pre- and postsynaptic characteristics, which makes them useful in the study of synaptic transmission. They retain the molecular machinery used in neuronal si...
