INTERACTIONS OF A FUNGAL THIOGLUCOSIDE GLUCOHYDROLASE AND CRUCIFEROUS PLANT EPITHIOSPECIFIER PROTEIN TO FORM 1-CYANOEPITHIOALKANES: IMPLICATIONS OF AN ALLOSTERIC MECHANISM

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0031-9422(00)83521-9

Allylglucosinolate is converted to 1-cyano-2,3-epithiopropane by interaction of the thioglucoside glucohydrolase from the fungus Aspergillus sydowi QM 31c and the epithiospecifier protein from Crambe abyssinica.The kinetic evidence presented supports the hypothesis that the epithiospecifier protein interacts with thioglucoside glucohydrolase in allosteric manner.Key Word Index - Crambe abyssinica; Cruciferae; Aspergillus sydowi; thioglucoside glucohydrolase; thioglucosidase; epithiospecifier protein; crucifer; glucosinolate; 1-cyanoepithioalkanes; 1-cyano-2,3-epithiopropane.
