Acid phosphatase isolated from Vigna aconitifolia seeds was immobilized onto glutaraldehyde activated chitosan beads by crosslinking method. Chitosan beads activated with 2% of glutaraldehyde have demonstrated maximum immobilization yield (∼ 83%). The immobilized enzyme showed optimum activity at pH
Acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2) from Vigna aconitifolia seeds was purified to apparent homogeneity by using ammonium sulfate fractionation and cation-exchange chromatography [carboxymethyl (CM) cellulose]. The enzyme was 228-fold purified with 14.6% recovery. Analytical gel filtration chromatography
Sensitivity of acid phosphatase from Vigna aconitifolia seeds to metal ions, fluoride, and phosphate was examined. All the effectors had different degree of inhibitory effect on the enzyme. Among metal ions, molybdate and ferric ion were observed to be most potent inhibitors and both exhibited mixed
Two assays were conducted to investigate the changes of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) and azuki bean (Vigna angularis L.) phosphatases (phytase [Phy] and acid phosphatase [AcPh]) and the degradation of its substrates (inositol phosphate esters) during seed germination. The 1st assay was to establish the
Two cDNAs encoding putative phosphatidate phosphatases (PAPs) designated VuPAP-alpha and VuPAP-beta were cloned in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) leaves. The predicted proteins have six membrane-spanning regions in common with animal type-2 PAPs. Unlike VuPAP-beta, VuPAP-alpha has an N-terminal
Under environmental stresses, several lipolytic enzymes are known to be activated and to contribute to membrane lipid turnover and generation of second messengers. In animal cells, phosphatidic acid phosphatase (PAP, EC 3.1.3.4), which dephosphorylates phosphatidic acid generating diacylglycerol, is
Over a 3-year period, the effect of differing N-application regimes on soil extractable-P concentration, soil phosphatase activity, and forage P uptake in a P-enriched grazed-pasture system was investigated. In the fall of each year, six 0.28-ha plots were overseeded with triticale ( × Triticosecale
Acid phosphatase I (AP-I) is the major isoform of Vigna acid phosphatase. It is constitutively expressed in seed cotyledons during germination. AP-I was separated from other isoforms and purified to homogeneity by three simple purification steps; (NH4)2SO4 precipitation, and phosphocellulose and
A phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) phosphatase was purified to homogeneity from germinating mung beans (Vigna radiata). It was found to be a tetrameric protein (molecular mass 240,000 daltons) made up of apparently identical subunits (subunit molecular mass 60,000 daltons). It was free from bound
Mung bean pyruvate kinase (PK) practically free from PEP-phosphatase has been purified about 36 fold. The enzyme is irreversibly inactivated on desalting by gel filtration or dialysis (without EDTA). The inactivation is also observed in the presence of ATP, Mg2+ or thiols but is prevented by a
In the polyol producing plant, celery (Apium graveolens L.), mannitol is a major photosynthetic product and a form in which carbohydrate is translocated. Measurements of whole leaf extracts of celery indicated substantial activity of the following enzymes: mannose-6-P reductase, mannose-6-P
Aluminium (Al)-activated citrate secretion plays an important role in Al resistance in a number of plant species, such as rice bean (Vigna umbellata). This study further characterized the regulation of VuMATE1, an aluminium-activated citrate transporter. Al stress induced VuMATE1 expression,
Osteoporosis is a global public health problem thought to be caused by an imbalance in bone metabolism. We examined in this study the 40% ethanol fraction of HP-20 resin in combination with a hot-water adzuki extract (EtEx.40) for its effect on osteoblast and osteoclast differentiation.
Phenolics drive the global economy, but they also pose threats to soil health and plant growth. Enzymes like peroxidase have the potential to remove the phenolic contaminants from the wastewater; however, their role in restoring soil health and improving plant growth has not yet been ascertained. We
