Abundance of NADP-dependent enzymes in plants
Kovaľová, Terézia ; Hýsková, Veronika (advisor) ; Ryšlavá, Helena (referee)
NADPH is an important molecule in plant metabolism. It is an indispensable substrate for many processes; participates in redox balance of the cell and it is a part of antioxidant defense system in plants. In this work, activities of selected NADP-dependent enzymes producing NADPH, NADP-malic enzyme (oxalacetate decarboxylating) (NADP-ME, EC 1.1.1.40), NADP-isocitrate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) (NADP-ICDH, EC 1.1.1.42), glukosa-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH, EC 1.1.1.49) and shikimate dehydrogenase (SDH, EC 1.1.1.25) in various plants and their parts (leaves, fruits, seeds) were established and compared. The aim of this work was to select suitable model plants for testing the effect of abiotic stress on NADP-dependent enzymes and also to select the best source for purification of these enzymes. Cucumber (Cucumis sativa L.), pea (Pisum sativum L.), or water-lily (Nymphaea) were chosen as suitable water-receptive model plants and Capsella bursa-pastoris as xerophilic plant from 19 analyzed plants. From group of 39 plants the most suitable for purification of NADP-ME were roots of Chinese radish (Raphanus sativus var. Major), which were simultaneously a rich source of other analyzed NADP-enzymes. The best source of NADP-ICDH was poppy (Papaver somniferum), or quinoa Chenopodium quinoa. For...
