L-Galactono-gamma-lactone dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.2.3; GLDase), an enzyme that catalyzes the final step in the biosynthesis of L-ascorbic acid was purified 1693-fold from a mitochondrial extract of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea, var. botrytis) to apparent homogeneity with an overall yield of 1.1%. The purification procedure consisted of anion exchange, hydrophobic interaction, gel filtration, and fast protein liquid chromatography. The enzyme had a molecular mass of 56 kDa estimated by gel filtration chromatography and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and showed a pH optimum for activity between pH 8.0 and 8.5, with an apparent Km of 3.3 mM for L-galactono-gamma-lactone. Based on partial peptide sequence information, polymerase chain reaction fragments were isolated and used to screen a cauliflower cDNA library from which a cDNA encoding GLDase was isolated. The deduced mature GLDase contained 509 amino acid residues with a predicted molecular mass of 57,837 Da. Expression of the cDNA in yeast produced a biologically active protein displaying GLDase activity. Furthermore, we identified a substrate for the enzyme in cauliflower extract, which co-eluted with L-galactono-gamma-lactone by high-performance liquid chromatography, suggesting that this compound is a naturally occurring precursor of L-ascorbic acid biosynthesis in vivo. << Less

L-Galactono-gamma-lactone dehydrogenase (L-galactono-gamma-lactone:ferricytochrome c oxidoreductase [EC 1.3.2.3], GLDHase) which catalyzes the terminal step in the biosynthesis of L-ascorbic acid (AsA) has been purified from roots of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L., cv. Kintoki). Highly purified preparation of the GLDHase was obtained by three column chromatography steps with a recovery of ca. 1%, after solubilization from mitochondria in sweet potato roots. SDS-PAGE exhibited a single band at 56 kDa. In the native state, the apparent molecular mass of the enzyme was 56 kDa, based on a Sephadex G-100 gel filtration. The pI and optimum pH values were 5.8 and 7.9, respectively. The Km value for L-galactono-gamma-lactone was 0.12 mM. Substrate inhibition was obtained at concentrations greater than 4.2 mM. The enzyme was inhibited by p-chloromercuribenzoate (PCMB) and acriflavine, and the inhibition of acriflavine was diminished by the addition of FAD or FMN. The only effective substrate for the GLDHase was L-galactono-gamma-lactone. << Less
