Purification and properties of 5-enolpyruvylshikimate 3-phosphate synthase from seedlings of Pisum sativum L
Abstract
5-Enolpyruvylshikimate 3-phosphate synthase (3-phosphoshikimate 1-carboxyvinyltransferase; EC 2.5.1.19) from shoot tissue of pea seedlings was purified to apparent homogeneity by sequential ammonium-sulphate precipitation, ion-exchange and hydrophobic-interaction chromatography and substrate elution from cellulose phosphate. Gel electrophoresis and gel-permeation chromatography showed that the purified enzyme was monomeric with molecular weight 50,000. The herbicide glyphosate was a potent inhibitor of the forward enzyme-catalyzed reaction.
