INTERACTIONS OF THIOGLUCOSIDE GLUCOHYDROLASE AND EPITHIOSPECIFIER PROTEIN OF CRUCIFEROUS PLANTS TO FORM 1-CYANOEPITHIOALKANES

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0031-9422(82)83011-2

Allylglucosinolate is converted to 1-cyano-2,3-epithiopropane by interaction of the thioglucoside glucohydrolase and epithiospecifier protein from several genera: Brassica, Crambe, Armoracia and Sinapis.The interactions occur across genetic lines, indicating non-specific requirements for epithiospecifier protein and thioglucoside glucohydrolase.Key Word Index - Cruciferae; thioglucoside glucohydrolase; thioglucosidase; epithiospecifier protein; glucosinolate; 1-cyanoepithioalkanes; 1-cyano-2,3-epithiopropane.
