Activation and Inhibition of Indoleacetic Acid Oxidase Activity from Peas

Abstract: The inhibition of indoleacetic acid oxidase activity by chlorogenic acid is markedly variable. Aqueous extracts of acetone precipitates from etiolated pea epicotyls contain heat-stable substances which decrease the inhibition produced by chlorogenic acid and also have a small activating effect. Low concentrations of pcoumaric acid (1 micro/ml) can stimulate this action. The possible role of activators and inhibitors in the in vivo regulation of indoleacetic acid oxidase activity is discussed.

“…Recent investigations on the inhibition or activation of in vitro enzyme systems have emphasized the contrasting action of phenylpropane derivatives differing only in their hydroxylation patterns (20 to interpret small changes in the level of phenylpropane derivatives in plants of such different developmental condition. Leaves are the site of perception of most photoperiodic stimuli in mature plants, and dried powders of one-half to three-fourths expanded Xanthium leaves also showed 3 to 4 times higher levels of phenylpropane derivatives than "whole plant" powders.…”

Net light effecits were negative for allagochrome, while for chlorogenic acid the smal,l positive effects with sucrose anid fructose were not statistically significant.…”

“…The immediacy of the response to light wNould appear to minimize a role for synthesis or destruction of cofactors of the type described by Mumford et al (19) or Furuya et al (10). Rather the levels of other regulatory compounds, such as phenols (13,20,25,26,32,37) which might be readily altered by abrupt, 1 or 2 step changes in oxidation or reduction, appear to be a more useful system to explore.…”
