THE EFFECT OF L-ASCORBIC ACID ON MYROSINASE ACTIVITY

open access: bronzeTHE JOURNAL OF VITAMINOLOGY, 1964
The addition of 10-2 to 10-3M L-ascorbic acid to the reaction medium was found to greatly promote the white mustard myrosinase activity under the condition (pH 6.4), producing neither white turbidity nor hydrogen sulfide. The amount of the white turbidity and hydrogen sulfide produced on addition of ascorbic acid to the reaction mixture of myrosinase ...

WHIRLY1 regulates aliphatic glucosinolate biosynthesis in early seedling development of Arabidopsis. [PDF]

open access: yesPlant J
SUMMARY WHIRLY1 belongs to a family of plant‐specific transcription factors capable of binding DNA or RNA in all three plant cell compartments that contain genetic materials. In Arabidopsis thaliana, WHIRLY1 has been studied at the later stages of plant development, including flowering and leaf senescence, as well as in biotic and abiotic stress ...

Methods of Modifying the Content of Glucosinolates and Their Derivatives in Sprouts and Microgreens During Their Cultivation and Postharvest Handling. [PDF]

open access: yesInt J Food Sci
Sprouts and microgreens which belong to the Brassicaceae family contain significantly more glucosinolates than mature vegetables, and their composition often differs too. These plant growth stages can be a valuable supplement of the aforementioned compounds in the diet.

QM/MM Study of the Catalytic Reaction of Myrosinase; Importance of Assigning Proper Protonation States of Active-Site Residues

open access: hybridJournal of Chemical Theory and Computation, 2021
Myrosinase from Sinapis alba hydrolyzes glycosidic bonds of β-d-S-glucosides. The enzyme shows an enhanced activity in the presence of l-ascorbic acid.

The Cellular and Subcellular Organization of the Glucosinolate–Myrosinase System against Herbivores and Pathogens

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
Glucosinolates are an important class of secondary metabolites in Brassicales plants with a critical role in chemical defense. Glucosinolates are chemically inactive but can be hydrolyzed by myrosinases to produce a range of chemically active compounds ...

A simple & Rapid Method For Detecting Bacterial Myrosinase Corresponding Protein Band

open access: yesJournal of Pure & Applied Sciences, 2023
Myrosinases have significant scientific and medical implications. Unfortunately, detection and purification of myrosinase from microbes requires the use of highly cost substrates (glucosinolates) such as sinigrin and expensive instruments such as Fast ...

Arabidopsis myrosinases link the glucosinolate-myrosinase system and the cuticle [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2016
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 ...

Targeted Mutagenesis of the Multicopy Myrosinase Gene Family in Allotetraploid Brassica juncea Reduces Pungency in Fresh Leaves across Environments

open access: yesPlants, 2022
Recent breeding efforts in Brassica have focused on the development of new oilseed feedstock crop for biofuels (e.g., ethanol, biodiesel, bio-jet fuel), bio-industrial uses (e.g., bio-plastics, lubricants), specialty fatty acids (e.g., erucic acid), and ...

Anti-Obesogenic Effects of Sulforaphane-Rich Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) Sprouts and Myrosinase-Rich Mustard (Sinapis alba L.) Seeds In Vitro and In Vivo

open access: yesNutrients, 2022
Glucoraphanin (GRA), a glucosinolate particularly abundant in broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) sprouts, can be converted to sulforaphane (SFN) by the enzyme myrosinase.

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.
