Purification and immunocharacterization of a plant cytochrome P450: the cinnamic acid 4-hydroxylase
Abstract
Cinnamic acid 4-hydroxylase (CA4H) was purified from microsomes of manganese-induced Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) tuber tissues. The three-step purification procedure involved solubilization and phase partitioning in Triton X-114, followed by chromatography on DEAE-Trisacryl and hydroxylapatite columns. Purification was monitored using carbon monoxide and type I substrate binding properties of the enzyme. The protein, purified to electrophoretic homogeneity, showed an Mr of about 57,000 on SDS-PAGE. Polyclonal antibodies raised against this protein selectively reacted with a 57-kDa polypeptide on Western blots of induced Jerusalem artichoke microsomes. The antibody selectively and strongly inhibited CA4H activity from several plant species.
