A New Method of Measuring Protein-Methionine-S-Oxide Reductase Activity

A New Method of Measuring Protein-Methionine-S-Oxide Reductase Activity Abstract A new assay for measuring protein-methionine-S-oxide reductase is reported. The assay measures the conversion of N-(9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl)-methionine sulfoxide to N-(9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl)-methionine using fluorescence detection after high-performance liquid chromatography separation. Enzyme activity is linear over a 60-min period and the assay is sensitive enough to detect the consumption of only 1% of available substrate. Protein-methionine-S-oxide reductase activity was demonstrated in pea (Pisum sativum L.) chloroplasts, and enzyme levels in leaves of etiolated and light-grown seedlings were compared. 1 This work was supported by grant 90-37280-5462 from the National Research Institute Competitive Grants Program/U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Abstract

Abstract A new assay for measuring protein-methionine-S-oxide reductase is reported. The assay measures the conversion of N-(9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl)-methionine sulfoxide to N-(9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl)-methionine using fluorescence detection after high-performance liquid chromatography separation. Enzyme activity is linear over a 60-min period and the assay is sensitive enough to detect the consumption of only 1% of available substrate. Protein-methionine-S-oxide reductase activity was demonstrated in pea (Pisum sativum L.) chloroplasts, and enzyme levels in leaves of etiolated and light-grown seedlings were compared. 1 This work was supported by grant 90-37280-5462 from the National Research Institute Competitive Grants Program/U.S. Department of Agriculture.
