Characterization of phosphatases in tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum L.)
Růžičková, Kateřina ; Ryšlavá, Helena (advisor) ; Tichá, Marie (referee)
Phosphateses (EC 3.1.3.x) are a group of enzymes that hydrolyze phosphoesters. That way they affect the energetic metabolism of a cell and its regulation. Phosphatases that dephosphorylate proteins are an integral part of signaling pathways, stress responses and they modulate enzymatic activity. This thesis deals with the study of phosphatases obtained from tobacco leaves (Nicotiana tabacum, L.). Solution of enzymes was prepared by extraction in both acidic and alkaline buffers. Through the use of the chromogenic substrate pNP-phosphate it was determined that there is a higher phosphatase activity in the glycosylated fraction than in the fraction that did not bind to Con A Sepharose. The research of the ions effect on the phosphatase activity has determined that Mg2+ and Ca2+ show positive effect on the phosphatase activity while the effect of Co2+ and Mn2+ is inhibitory. The Zn2+ ions have shown no effect whatsoever. The glycosylated phosphatases also dephosphorylated low-weight-molecular substrates phosphoserine, ATP and glucose-6-phosphate. The research of protein phosphatase activity discovered the affinity to the substrate phosvitin, although neither to casein nor its tryptic cleaves. Detailed experiments have shown that the pH optima for all the substrates lie from pH 5 to 6. Glycosylated phosphatases...

Study of acid phosphatase in pea and tobacco
Šandová, Sandra ; Ryšlavá, Helena (advisor) ; Tichá, Marie (referee)
Phosphatases catalyze the hydrolytic fission of orthophosphoric acid ester. They are generally divided into acid and alkaline phosphatases according to their pH optimum. There was preparated the extract of leaves Nicotiana tabacum L. and Pissum sativum. Furthermore, there were determinated pea and tobacco phosphatases's rate constants. Reaction speed katalyzed by tobacco phosphatase is 10,0 mol/min.ml and by pea phosphatase 38,0 mol/min.ml using paraNP - phosphate as a substrate. Using a substrate phospho - L serine the reaction speed katalyzed by phosphatase of tobacco is 1,8 mol/min.ml and by phosphatase of pea is 0,4 mol/min.ml. Michaelis constant Km is 1,8 mM for tobacco phosphatase and 8,5 mM for pea phosphatase using paraNP - phosphate. Using a substrate phospho - L serine Michaelis constant Km of phosphatase of tobacco and pea is the same - 4,0 mM. The pH optimum of pea phosphatase is 5,0 using paraNP - phosphate as a substrate and 6,0 using phopho - L serine. pH optimum of tobacco phosphatase is 5,4 using paraNP - phosphate and 7,0 using phospho - L serine. Temperature optimum for pea phosphatase is 60 C and for tobacco phosphatase 55C.

The effect of biotic stress on the metabolism of saccharides in tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum L.)
Kloudová, Kateřina ; Ryšlavá, Helena (advisor) ; Tichá, Marie (referee)
Plants have developed a number of ways how to minimise negative influence of the environment. As a consequence of stress action, plants carbohydrate metabolism is quite often influenced, esp. on the level of expression and activities of different enzymes and also several metabolites concentration. One of key enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism is invertase. The aim of this work was to find out, whether the activity of its isoforms (cytoplasmic, vacuolar and extracellular) in tobacco plants is influenced by Potato virus Y (PVY). It was shown, that activity of cytoplasmic invertase was not affected, but the activity of vacuolar and extracellular isoform was enhanced during potyviral infection. Hence, it is likely, that vacuolar and extracellular invertases are related to plant antiviral defence. The effect of PVY on other enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism and several metabolites content was studied. Activity of α-amylase and phosphorylase, starch-degrading enzymes, was strongly enhanced during potyviral infection. That is probably how plant cells get glucose, which is a key source of energy and metabolites for biosynthesis of different compounds. It may also serve as a signal molecule. Activity of other hydrolytic enzymes, β-glucosidase and β-hexosaminidase, was also slightly increased. There was no...
