Purification and characterization of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase from apple fruits.

Abstract:

:1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) synthase, a key enzyme in ethylene biosynthesis, was isolated and partially purified from apple (Malus sylvestris Mill.) fruits. Unlike ACC synthase isolated from other sources, apple ACC synthase is associated with the pellet fraction and can be solubilized in active form with Triton X-100. Following five purification steps, the solubilized enzyme was purified over 5000-fold to a specific activity of 100 micromoles per milligram protein per hour, and its purity was estimated to be 20 to 30%. Using this preparation, specific monoclonal antibodies were raised. Monoclonal antibodies against ACC synthase immunoglobulin were coupled to protein-A agarose to make an immunoaffinity column, which effectively purified the enzyme from a relatively crude enzyme preparation (100 units per milligram protein). As with the tomato enzyme, apple ACC synthase was inactivated and radiolabeled by its substrate S-adenosyl-l-methionine. Apple ACC synthase was identified to be a 48-kilodalton protein based on the observation that it was specifically bound to immunoaffinity column and it was specifically radiolabeled by its substrate S-adenosyl-l-methionine.
