Induction of myrosinase gene expression and myrosinase activity in radish hypocotyls by phototropic stimulation

Journal of Plant Physiology, 2003
The role of myrosinase (beta-thioglucoside glucohydrolase, EC 3.2.3.1) in the phototropic response in radish hypocotyls was investigated. Unilateral illumination with blue light abruptly up-regulated the activity of myrosinase, which releases bioactive 4-methylthio-3-butenyl isothiocyanate (MTBI) from inactive 4-methylthio-3-butenyl glucosinolate (MTBG)

Characterization of a Novel Myrosinase with High Activity from Marine Bacterium Shewanella baltica Myr-37

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
Myrosinase can hydrolyze glucosinolates to generate isothiocyanates, which have cancer prevention and anti-cancer properties. The main sources of myrosinase are cruciferous plants.

Characterization of a Brassica napus myrosinase pseudogene: myrosinases are members of the BGA family of ?-glycosidases

Plant Molecular Biology, 1993
Myrosinase isoenzymes are known to be encoded by two different families of genes denoted MA and MB. Nucleotide sequence analysis of a Brassica napus genomic clone containing a gene for myrosinase revealed it to be a pseudogene of the MA family. The gene spans more than 5 kb and contains at least 12 exons. The exon sequence of the gene is highly similar

Characterization of a new myrosinase in Brassica napus

Plant Molecular Biology, 1995
A full-length cDNA clone defining the new myrosinase gene family MC in Brassica napus was isolated and sequenced. Southern hybridization showed that the MC family probably consists of 3 or 4 genes in B. napus. MC genes are expressed in the developing seed, but not in the vegetative tissues investigated. In situ hybridizations to developing seeds showed

Myrosinase Activity in Soil

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 2003
Myrosinase (thioglucoside glucohydrolase; EC 3.2.3.1) is an enzyme that hydrolyzes glucosinolates to D ‐glucose and allelochemicals that have biological potential to suppress weed seed germination in soil.

High pressure effects on myrosinase activity and glucosinolate preservation in seedlings of Brussels sprouts

open access: yesFood Chemistry, 2018
During consumption of Brassica vegetables the myrosinase-glucosinolate system plays a dual role;on one hand is the health-improving effect, but on the other hand an undesired bitterness taste.Application of high pressure (HP) can be used as a potential ...

Characterization of rapeseed myrosinase-binding protein

Planta, 1995
Myrosinase-binding proteins (MBPs) were purified from seeds of Brassica napus L. (oilseed rape). The proteins were characterized with respect to amino-acid composition, peptide sequence and isoelectric points. Gel electrophoresis and Western blotting of protein extracts from mature seeds showed the existence of at least ten proteins reacting with a ...
