Triosephosphate Isomerases in Italian Ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) : Characterization and Susceptibility to Herbicides / D. Del Buono, B. Prinsi , L. Espen, L. Scarponi. - In: JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY. - ISSN 0021-8561. - 57:17(2009 Aug 06), pp. 7924-7930. [10.1021/jf901681q]
Abstract:
The effect of treatments with four herbicides and a safener on the activity of triosephosphate
isomerase (TPI) extracted from shoots of Italian ryegrass was investigated. It was found that
atrazine and fluorodifen, herbicides which interfere with photosynthesis, caused a decrease in
measured enzyme activity. In addition, the in vitro effect of oxidized glutathione (GSSG), a
compound produced in situations of oxidative stress, on TPI activity was investigated. It was shown
that GSSG was a strong inhibitor of enzyme activity, at low concentrations in a dose-timedependent
manner. The enzyme extracts were submitted to chromatographic purifications and to
two-dimensional electrophoresis. Some spots had molecular masses ranging between 20 and 30
kDa and were characterized and identified by LC-ESI-MS/MS as TPIs. The mass spectrometry also
made it possible to identify the presence of cysteine residues that could be subjected to
S-glutathionylation, which regulate the enzyme activity.
