A thiocyanate-forming protein generates multiple products upon allylglucosinolate breakdown in Thlaspi arvense.

Phytochemistry 72(14-15) , 1699-709, (2011)

Glucosinolates, amino acid-derived thioglycosides found in plants of the Brassicales order, are one of the best studied classes of plant secondary metabolites. Together with myrosinases and supplementary proteins known as specifier proteins, they form the glu...

Identification and origin of N-linked β-D-N-acetylglucosamine monosaccharide modifications on Arabidopsis proteins.

Plant Physiol. 161(1) , 455-64, (2013)

Many plant proteins are modified with N-linked oligosaccharides at asparagine-X-serine/threonine sites during transit through the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi. We have identified a number of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) proteins with modification...

Protein modeling and active site binding mode interactions of myrosinase-sinigrin in Brassica juncea--an in silico approach.

J. Mol. Graph. Model. 29(5) , 740-6, (2011)

Myrosinase, the only known S-glycosidase, occurs particularly in Cruciferae family. It is responsible for the hydrolysis of glucosinolates and serves as a vital element of plant defense system. The biological and chemical properties of myrosinase catalyzed pr...

Feed or food responsible for the presence of low-level thiouracil in urine of livestock and humans?

J. Agric. Food Chem. 59(10) , 5786-92, (2011)

In recent years, questions have been raised on the possible semi-endogenous status of the alleged xenobiotic thyreostatic drug thiouracil; thiouracil has been detected in the urine of various animals (livestock and domesticated) at concentrations between 1 an...

Modifying the processing and handling of frozen broccoli for increased sulforaphane formation.

J. Food Sci. 78(9) , H1459-63, (2013)

Frozen broccoli can provide a cheaper product, with a longer shelf life and less preparation time than fresh broccoli. We previously showed that several commercially available frozen broccoli products do not retain the ability to generate the cancer-preventat...

Molecular models and mutational analyses of plant specifier proteins suggest active site residues and reaction mechanism.

Plant Mol. Biol. 84(1-2) , 173-88, (2014)

As components of the glucosinolate-myrosinase system, specifier proteins contribute to the diversity of chemical defenses that have evolved in plants of the Brassicales order as a protection against herbivores and pathogens. Glucosinolates are thioglucosides ...

Effect of NaCl treatments on glucosinolate metabolism in broccoli sprouts.

J. Zhejiang Univ. Sci. B 14(2) , 124-31, (2013)

To understand the regulation mechanism of NaCl on glucosinolate metabolism in broccoli sprouts, the germination rate, fresh weight, contents of glucosinolates and sulforaphane, as well as myrosinase activity of broccoli sprouts germinated under 0, 20, 40, 60,...

Crambe tataria: the glucosinolate/myrosinase system in vivo and in vitro.

Nat. Prod. Commun. 8(11) , 1615-6, (2013)

The Crambe tataria glucosinolate/myrosinase system in seeds and leaves of in vivo and in vitro regenerated plantlets, and two callus cell lines was investigated. It was demonstrated that in all the extracts glucosinolates were present and the myrosinase syste...

A mammalian thioglycosidase.

Science 130(3373) , 450-1, (1959)

A thioglycosidase capable of catalyzing the hydrolysis of 6-purine beta-d-glucothiopyranoside and other thioglycosides has been found in a number of mammalian tissues (including tumors) as well as in almond emulsin. The substrate specificity of mammalian thio...

Induction of detoxification enzymes by feeding unblanched Brussels sprouts containing active myrosinase to mice for 2 wk.

J. Food Sci. 75(6) , H190-9, (2010)

In cruciferous vegetables, myrosinase metabolizes the relatively inactive glucosinolates into isothiocyanates and other products that have the ability to increase detoxification enzyme expression. Thus, maintaining myrosinase activity during food preparation ...
