Kinetic properties of β-N-acetylhexosaminidase from tobacco plants
Valenta, Robert ; Ryšlavá, Helena (advisor) ; Šulc, Miroslav (referee)
β-N-acetylhexosaminidase from tobacco leaves (Nicotiana tabacum L.) was partially purified to final specific activity 1,72 µmol . min-1 . mg-1 using p-nitrofenyl-β-N- acetyl-D-glucosaminide as substrate. The enzyme exhibited one band after both isoelectric focusing and native electrophoresis. Molecular mass of native enzyme was determined by gel chromatography (MR 275000) and native electrophoresis (MR 285000). Isoelectric point pI 5.4 was determined by isoelectric focusing. Activity of β-N-acetylhexosaminidase was measured using substrates p-nitrofenyl-β-N-acetyl-D-galactosaminide, p-nitrofenyl-β- N-acetyl-D-glucosaminide, N,N'-diacetylchitobiose, p-nitrofenyl-N,N'- diacetylchitobioside and N,N',N''-triacetylchitotriose. For substrates N,N'- diacetylchitobiose, p-nitrofenyl-N,N'-diacetylchitobioside and N,N',N''-triacetylchitotriose an enzyme assay of β-N-acetylhexosaminidase using capillary zone electrophoresis was developed. Optimal pH and temperature of β-N-acetylhexosaminidase were determined with individual substrates, as well as products of hydrolysis. Activity of β-N- acetylhexosaminidase was highest using p-nitrofenyl-β-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminide as substrate and lowest using N,N',N''-triacetylchitotriose (35% in relative comparison). Maximum velocity and Michaelis constant of...

Study of β-N-acetylhexosaminidase in tobacco plants
Valenta, Robert ; Tichá, Marie (referee) ; Ryšlavá, Helena (advisor)
β-N-acetylhexosaminidases are ubiquitous in all living organisms, but there is little information about these enzymes in plants, especially in leaves. Suggested functions of plant β-N-acetylhexosaminidases are participation in defence responses against fungal and other pathogens and also in degradation of storage glycoproteins. β-N-acetylhexosaminidase from tobacco leaves (Nicotiana tabacum L.) was purified to final specific activity 190 nmol min-1 mg-1 with p-NP-GlcNAc as substrate. Precipitation by ammonium sulphate, gel filtration chromatography on Sephacryl S-300 column and affinity chromatography on Con A- Sepharose column were used. Michaelis constant and maximal reaction rate of β-N- acetylhexosaminidases determined for p-NP-GlcNAc was 0.33 mM and 414 nmol min-1 mg-1 , respectively. The cleavage of diacetylchitobiose catalyzed by β-N-acetylhexosaminidase was studied using capillary electrophoresis. Determined activity of β-N-acetylhexosaminidase for diacetylchitobiose was more than 10-times lower compared to β-N-acetylhexosaminidase activity for p-NP-GlcNAc. These results indicate that chitobiose and probably other chitooligomers are not natural substrates of β-N-acetylhexosaminidase and thus this enzyme is most likely not involved in protection against fungal pathogens. Natural substrate...
