ATP Citrate Lyase from Germinating Castor Bean Endosperm: Localization and some Properties.
نویسندگان
چکیده
ATP citrate lyase (EC 4.1.3.8) has been found in crude extracts from endosperm tissue of germinating castor bean and shows its maximum activity in 4- to 5-day-old seedlings. A strict requirement for coenzyme A and adenosine 5'-triphosphate was demonstrated. The pH optimum for the reaction is around 7.5. The unstable enzyme can be stabilized by freezing and addition of citrate and glycerol. (-)-Hydroxycitrate is a potent inhibitor. The molecular weight is about 400,000. The adenosine 5'-triphosphate citrate lyase is localized in the plastids, where it possibly plays a role in providing acetyl coenzyme A for lipid biosynthesis.

Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex from Germinating Castor Bean
Subceliular organelles from castor bean (Ricuns commnwuis) endosperm were isolated on discontinuous sucrose gradients from germinating seeds which were 1 to 7 days postbit o. Marker enzyme activities of the organeUes were measured (fumarase, catalase, and triose phosphate isomerase) and the homogeneity of the organelle fractions was examined by electron microscopy. Pyrumate dehydrogenase comple...
متن کاملThe induction of enzyme activity in the endosperm of germinating castor-bean seeds.
Endosperm extracts were prepared at various times during germination from intact castor-bean seeds and from seeds from which the embryos had been removed. The sterilized seeds were incubated either on solid water agar or on agar containing 0.3 mM-gibberellic acid. 2. Isocitrate lyase and 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase had very low activities in the mature seeds, but increased 44-fold and 27-fo...
متن کاملEffect of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate on the kinetic properties of cytoplasmic fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase from germinating castor bean endosperm.
The cytoplasmic form of fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) was purified over 60-fold from germinating castor bean endosperm (Ricinus communis). The kinetic properties of the purified enzyme were studied. The preparation was specific for fructose 1,6-bisphosphate and exhibited optimum activity at pH 7.5. The affinity of the enzyme for fructose 1,6-bisphosphate was reduced by AMP, which was a m...
متن کاملLocalization and properties of ribulose diphosphate carboxylase from castor bean endosperm.
A substantial portion of the ribulose 1,5-diphosphate carboxylase activity in the endosperm of germinating castor beans (Ricinus communis var. Hale) is recovered in the proplastid fraction. The partially purified enzyme shows homology with the enzyme from spinach (Spinacia oleracea) leaves, as evidenced by its reaction against antibodies to the native spinach enzyme and to its catalytic subunit...

The capacity of polyadenylated RNA from developing castor bean endosperm to program protein synthesis in a wheat germ cell-free translational system has been examined. Although the use of micrococcal nuclease-treated wheat germ extracts demonstrated a low but significant content of translatable mRNA in dry seeds, a large scale increase in total translational capacity was observed during germina...
