Xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH, EC 1.2.1.37) was purified from root nodules of soybean (Glycine max) and used to prepare a polyclonal rabbit antiserum. Monospecificity of this antiserum was ascertained by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the immunoprecipate. During root
During the period examined from 12 to 63 days after planting, the ureides, allantoin and allantoic acid, were the predominant nitrogenous solutes in the xylem exudate of soybeans (Glycine max [L.]) growing solely on symbiotically fixed nitrogen, accounting for approximately 60% and greater than 95%
Molybdenum cofactor (Moco) is required for the activities of Moco-dependant enzymes. Cofactor for nitrate reductase and xanthine dehydrogenase (Cnx1) is known to be involved in the biosynthesis of Moco in plants. In this work, a soybean (Glycine max L.) Cnx1 gene (GmCnx1) was transferred into
Soybean (Glycine max) and pea (Pisum sativum) differ in the transport of fixed nitrogen from nodules to shoots. The dominant nitrogen transport compounds for soybean are ureides, while amides dominate in pea. A possible enzymic basis for this difference was examined.The level of enzymes involved in
Two methods were developed for the detection of altered ureide metabolism in legume nodules. Both techniques are based on the positive correlation between the presence of high xanthine dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.37) specific activity in nodules and the ability of those nodules to produce the ureides,
The appearance of enzymes involved in the formation of ureides, allantoin, and allantoic acid, from inosine 5'-monophosphate was analyzed in developing root nodules of soybean (Glycine max). Concomitant with development of effective nodules, a substantial increase in specific activities of the
Amide and ureide biogenic enzymes were measured in the plant fraction of soybean (Glycine max) nodules during the period 11 to 23 days after inoculation with Rhizobium japonicum (USDA 3I1b142). Enzymes involved in the initial assimilation of ammonia, i.e. glutamine synthetase, glutamate synthase,
The effect of nitrate on N(2) fixation and the assimilation of fixed N(2) in legume nodules was investigated by supplying nitrate to well established soybean (Glycine max L. Merr. cv Bragg)-Rhizobium japonicum (strain 3I1b110) symbioses. Three different techniques, acetylene reduction, (15)N(2)
Subcellular organelle fractionation of nitrogen-fixing nodules of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) indicates that a number of enzymes involved in the assimilation of ammonia into amino acids and purines are located in the proplastids. These include asparagine synthetase (EC 6.3.1.1), phosphoribosyl
Our previous work demonstrated substantial accumulation of allantoate in leaf tissue of nodulated soybeans (Glycine max L. Merr., cv Williams) in response to nitrogen fertilization. Research was continued to determine the effect of nitrate and asparagine on ureide assimilation in soybean leaves.
The intracellular location of enzymes involved in the synthesis of the ureides, allantoin and allantoic acid, was investigated in nodules of Glycine max L. Merr. Cellular organelles were separated on isopycnic sucrose density gradients. Xanthine dehydrogenase activity (270 nanomoles per min per gram
