Partial purification of pisatin demethylase, a cytochrome P-450 from the pathogenic fungus Nectria haematococca

Partial purification of pisatin demethylase, a cytochrome P-450 from the pathogenic fungus... 203 144 144 1 1 Anne E. Desjardins Hans D. VanEtten Department of Plant Pathology Cornell University 14853-0331 Ithaca NY USA Northern Regional Research Center USDA 1815 N. University Street 61604 Peoria IL USA Abstract The plant pathogen Nectria haematococca can demethylate pisatin, a phytoalexin from pea. Demethylation is apparently necessary for virulence on pea and is catalyzed by a microsomal cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase system. The cytochrome P-450 and NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase of this system were solubilized with sodium cholate and partially purified by chromatography on blue A-agarose and ω-aminohexyl-agarose. The reductase was further purified by chromatography on 2′,5′-ADP-agarose to a specific activity of about 16 μmoles cytochrome c reduced per min per mg protein. Upon sodium dodecyl sulfatepolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the reductase fraction contained one major band of molecular weight 84,000. The partially purified cytochrome P-450 fraction contained a number of minor bands and three major bands of molecular weights 52,000, 56,000 and 58,000. This fraction lost all demethylase activity during concentration after ω-aminohexyl-agarose chromatography, so it could not be purified further. The purified reductase could reconstitute demethylase activity of cytochrome P-450 fractions and appeared to be rate-limiting for demethylase activity in microsomal extracts. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Archives of Microbiology Springer Journals
