The substrate specificity and some kinetic properties of the monomeric (Mr = 26 000--35 000) and dimeric (Mr = 55 000--70 000) forms of phenol oxidase from vine leaves were studied. These forms possess different hydroxylating and o-diphenol oxidase activities. A kinetic analysis demonstrated that the monomeric form of the enzyme possesses a higher affinity for monophenols and can more effectively accomplish the hydroxylation reaction as compared to the dimeric one. During vine vegetation the ratio of molecular forms of phenol oxidase is altered manifesting itself in quantitative and qualitative changes of enzymatic activity. During plant maturation the dimeric fraction is predominant. The maturation process is associated with a sharp rise of the o-phenol oxidase activity, a disappearance of the hydroxylating activity and a substantial deceleration of phenol compounds production. |
