Purification, characterization, and kinetic mechanism of S‐adenosyl‐l‐methionine: vitexin 2″‐O‐rhamnoside 7‐O‐methyltransferase of Avena sativa L

Abstract: An 0-methyltransferase catalyzing the transfer of the methyl group of S-adenosyl-L-methionine to the A-ring 7-hydroxyl group of vitexin 2"-O-rhamnoside has been isolated from oat primary leaves and purified 180-fold by protein fractionation with (NH,),S04 and chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and S-adenosyl-L-homocysteinesepharose. K, values for S-adenosyl-L-methionine and the flavonoid substrate were 1.6 pM and 15 pM, respectively. The lack of methyl transfer to biosynthetic intermediates suggests that the rea… Show more

“…However, studies on other AdoMet-dependent methyltransferase enzymes using similarly designed experiments can serve as comparisons. The mechanisms of these enzymes range form ordered sequential rapid equilibrium (69), ordered sequential (40,58,59), semi-ordered sequential (70), to Theorell-Chance mechanisms (60). In accordance with the consensus of these studies we find that the simplest mechanism that is consistent with the variable and fixed substrate data (Fig.…”

“…PAGE under denaturing conditions suggested a composition of two subunits of 24 ± 1 kD. Plant O-MTs, as well as many MTs from mammalian sources (4,10), are commonly composed of only one polypeptide chain ranging from 35 to 65 kD (2,9,12,13,16,28,37). Furanocoumarin O-MTs had been the only exception, to our knowledge, possessing large molecular masses of 85 to 1 10 kD (38) and 67 to 73 kD (7) and being composed of two subunits in parsley (7).…”

“…This protocol was developed after affinity chromatography, as recommended for other O-MTs (2,16,35), and the use of additional affinity matrices had failed. Subsequent isoelectric focusing yielded a homogeneous, catalytically active enzyme with an apparent molecular mass of about 48 kD.…”
