Arabidopsis myrosinases link the glucosinolate-myrosinase system and the cuticle [PDF]
AbstractBoth physical barriers and reactive phytochemicals represent two important components of a plant’s defence system against environmental stress. However, these two defence systems have generally been studied independently. Here, we have taken an exclusive opportunity to investigate the connection between a chemical-based plant defence system ...

Arabidopsis cDNA Sequence Encoding Myrosinase [PDF]
Myrosinase (0-thioglucosidase, thioglucoside glucohydrolase, EC 3.2.3.1) catalyzes the hydrolysis of glucosinolates, a class of sulfur-containing glycosides present in all Crucifers. Although intact glucosinolates are relatively nontoxic, their breakdown products (isothiocyanates, nitriles, or thiocyanates) have important biological influences on ...

The study of Zn2+ and Cu2+ effects on myrosinase activity and sulforaphane production in Lepidium draba [PDF]
Myrosinase is a β-thioglucoside glucohydrolase enzyme which catalyzses the separation of glucose from glucosinolates and produces an unstable intermediate, aglycone.

Yellow mustards are widely cultivated for their spicy flavor and are rich source of glucosinolates and myrosinase. The predominant glucosinolate in yellow mustard seeds is sinalbin and corresponding isothiocyanate is 4-hydroxybenzyl isothiocyanate upon ...

Immunological characterization of rapeseed myrosinase [PDF]
A purified 75‐kDa myrosinase and a crude rapeseed myrosinase fraction were used as antigens to produce mouse anti‐myrosinase monoclonal antibodies. The 75‐kDa myrosinase was also used to produce a polyclonal rabbit antiserum. The antiserum and one monoclonal antibody reacted with three distinct rapeseed polypeptides of 75, 70 and 65 kDa (M75, M70 and ...

Extended darkness induces internal turnover of glucosinolates in Arabidopsis thaliana leaves. [PDF]
Prolonged darkness leads to carbohydrate starvation, and as a consequence plants degrade proteins and lipids to oxidize amino acids and fatty acids as alternative substrates for mitochondrial ATP production.

Sinigrin is present in significant amounts in cruciferous vegetables. Epidemiological studies suggest that the consumption of such vegetables decreases the risk of cancer, and the effect is attributed mainly to allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), a hydrolysis ...

Biomarker Exploration in Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells for Monitoring Sulforaphane Treatment Responses in Autism Spectrum Disorder [PDF]
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders with no drugs treating the core symptoms and no validated biomarkers for clinical use.
