Benzoyl-L-arginine p-nitroanilide hydrolase in the etiolated leaves of Zea mays L. has been purified 1,266-fold by a combination of gel filtration, ion exchange, and hydrophobic chromatography with a recovery of 13%. The specific activity of the purified enzyme is 5.7 units/mg protein. The enzyme is

The activity and allosteric properties of plant phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC; EC 4.1.1.31) are controlled posttranslationally by specific reversible phosphorylation of a strictly conserved serine residue near the N-terminus. This up/down-regulation of PEPC is catalyzed by a dedicated and

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades have been shown to be important components in abscisic acid (ABA) signal transduction pathway. In this study, a 46 kDa MAPK (p46MAPK) induced by ABA was partially purified from maize (Zea mays) by Q-Sepharose FF, Phenyl-Sepharose FF, Resource Q, Mono

Lysine-ketoglutarate reductase catalyzes the first step of lysine catabolism in maize (Zea mays L.) endosperm. The enzyme condenses l-lysine and alpha-ketoglutarate into saccharopine using NADPH as cofactor. It is endosperm-specific and has a temporal pattern of activity, increasing with the onset

Dihydrodipicolinic acid reductase, an enzyme which catalyzes the pyridine nucleotide-linked reduction of dihydrodipicolinic acid to tetrahydrodipicolinic acid in the biosynthetic pathway leading to l-lysine, has been partially purified from maize (Zea mays cv Pioneer 3145) kernels. The crude maize

Regenerable maize (Zea mays L.) tissue cultures were selected for ability to grow in the presence of inhibitory (1.0-1.5 mM) concentrations of L-lysine plus L-threonine. Testcross kernels from one regenerated plant (LT20) segregated for wild-type and high free threonine concentration in a 1∶1 ratio

A protein kinase of 57 kDa, able to phosphorylate tyrosine in synthetic substrates pol(Glu4,Tyr1) and a fragment of Src tyrosine kinase, was isolated and partly purified from maize seedlings (Zea mays). The protein kinase was able to phosphorylate exogenous proteins: enolase, caseins, histones and

1H, 13C NMR, ESMS and MS/MS investigations proved that there is an antagonism in the spontaneous reaction of formaldehyde with L-lysine and L-arginine. L-Arginine can only be hydroxymethylated on the guanidino group in a very fast reaction forming mono-, di-, and trihydroxymethyl arginines (HMA).

Dipicolinic acid, a known inhibitor of an enzyme (dihydrodipicolinic acid reductase) in the maize (Zea mays L.) lysine biosynthetic pathway, inhibits the growth of maize suspension and callus cultures. Inhibited cultures contain somewhat lower free lysine levels, but the inhibition of suspension

Aspartate kinase is a feedback-regulated enzyme that controls the first step common to the biosynthesis of lysine, threonine, isoleucine, and methionine in plants. Aspartate kinase was purified from Black Mexican Sweet maize (Zea mays L.) cell suspension cultures for physical and kinetic

The first enzyme of the lysine degradation pathway in maize (Zea mays L.), lysine-ketoglutarate reductase, condenses lysine and [alpha]-ketoglutarate into saccharopine using NADPH as a cofactor, whereas the second, saccharopine dehydrogenase, converts saccharopine to

A microscale vertical fluidic cell system has been implemented, based on a simple theta pipet pulled to a sharp point (ca. 10-20 μm diameter for the studies herein) and positioned with a high degree of control on a surface. The dual channel arrangement allows an electric field to be generated

The name Vibrio hollisae (synonym = Special Bacteriology group EF-13) is proposed for a new group of 16 strains that occurred in stool cultures of patients with diarrhea. V. hollisae is a small gram-negative rod, which is motile with a single polar flagellum. No lateral or peritrichous flagella were

Snake venom L-amino acid oxidases (SV-LAAOs) are the least studied venom enzymes. These enzymes catalyze the stereospecific oxidation of an L-amino acid to their corresponding α-keto acid with the liberation of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and ammonia (NH₃). They display

A restricted protein diet supplemented with amino acids and fat may reduce the acidogenic effects of exercise. Twelve Arabian horses were assigned to a 2 x 2 factorial experiment: two fat levels: 0 or 10 g/100 g added corn oil and two crude protein levels: 7.5 g/100 g (supplemented with 0.5%
