A novel peroxidase from Ziziphus jujuba fruit: purification, thermodynamics and biochemical characterization properties.

ABSTRACT: In this study, peroxidase from Ziziphus jujuba was purified using ion exchange, and gel filtration chromatography resulting in an 18.9-fold enhancement of activity with a recovery of 20%. The molecular weight of Z. jujuba peroxidase was 56?kDa, as estimated by Sephacryl S-200. The purity was evaluated by SDS, which showed a single prominent band. The optimal activity of the peroxidase was achieved at pH 7.5 and 50?°C. Z. jujuba peroxidase showed catalytic efficiency (Kcat/Km) values of 25 and 43 for guaiacol and H₂O₂, respectively. It was completely inactivated when incubated with ?-mercaptoethanol for 15?min. Hg²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, and NaN3 (5?mM) were effective peroxidase inhibitors, whereas Cu²⁺ and Ca²⁺ enhanced the peroxidase activity. The activation energy (Ea) for substrate hydrolysis was 43.89?kJ?mol^-1, while the Z value and temperature quotient (Q₁₀) were found to be 17.3?°C and 2, respectively. The half-life of the peroxidase was between 117.46 and 14.15?min. For denaturation of the peroxidase, the activation energy for irreversible inactivation Ea*(d) was 120.9 kJmol^-1. Thermodynamic experiments suggested a non-spontaneous (?G*d > 0) and endothermic reaction phase. Other thermodynamic parameters of the irreversible inactivation of the purified enzyme, such as ?H* and ?S*, were also studied. Based on these results, the purified peroxidase has a potential role in some industrial applications.

Project description:BackgroundJujube is a typical fruit tree species from China. 'Muzao', a cracking-susceptible cultivar, and 'Linhuang No. 1', a cracking-resistant cultivar, were selected in a previous study as contrasting research materials. Whole-genome resequencing and transcriptomic analysis of 'Linhuang No. 1' and 'Muzao' allowed the identification of differentially expressed genes with different gene structures between the two cultivars and could be helpful in explaining the differences and similarities between the two cultivars.ResultsResequencing identified 664,129 polymorphic variable sites between 'Linhuang No. 1' and 'Muzao'. To determine the genetic relationship among 'Linhuang No. 1', 'Muzao' and the jujube genome reference cultivar 'Dongzao', the characteristic polymorphic variable sites were analysed by principal component analysis. The genetic relationship between 'Linhuang No. 1' and 'Muzao' was closer than that of either variety and 'Dongzao'. Nineteen differentially expressed genes were identified by combining transcriptomic analysis with resequencing analysis. LOC107427052 (encoding a nitrite reductase) was identified by Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis for further study. The identified insertion was not in the domain region of the LOC107427052 gene coding sequence (CDS) region and was verified by the finding that the insertion did not affect translation of the protein. The LOC107427052 gene expression levels, nitrite reductase activities and nitrite contents of 'Muzao' were significantly higher than the corresponding values of 'Linhuang No. 1' at the young fruit stage. There was no significant difference in the quantity of the product of nitrite reductase, namely, ammonia, between the two cultivars.ConclusionsThe present study was the first to explore the differences between different jujube cultivars ('Linhuang No. 1' and 'Muzao') by combining genome resequencing and transcriptomics. LOC107427052 (encoding a nitrite reductase) was characterized by KEGG enrichment analysis. The insertion in the CDS region of the LOC107427052 gene provides a new direction for the study of nitrogen metabolism in jujube. Our study has laid a foundation for the comparative analysis of nitrite metabolism between the jujube cultivars 'Linhuang No. 1' and 'Muzao'.

Project description:A previously unreported disease affecting jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) trees was observed in China (Liaoning province) in 2015 and named jujube yellow mottle disease (JYMD), due to prevalent symptoms on the leaves. Diseased plants produced also malformed and discolored fruits. In an attempt to identify the possible causal agent of JYMD, high-throughput sequencing of small RNA libraries was performed and a novel virus, tentatively named jujube yellow mottle-associated virus (JYMaV), was identified and characterized. Six genomic RNA segments of JYMaV were completely sequenced. Each one contains a single open reading frame in the viral complementary strand and two untranslated regions with complementary 5' and 3' terminal ends, thus showing typical features of other negative-stranded RNA viruses. RNA1 (7.1 kb), RNA2 (2.2 kb) and RNA3 (1.2 kb) encode putative proteins that, based on their conserved motifs, have been identified as the RNA dependent RNA polymerase, the glycoprotein and the nucleocapsid protein, respectively. These proteins share significant sequence identity (52.1-70.4%) with proteins encoded by raspberry leaf blotch virus (RLBV). RNA4 (1.5 kb) and RNA5 (1.2 kb) code for two putative 30 K movement proteins also related to the homologous RLBV protein. The functional role of the protein encoded by JYMaV RNA6 remains unknown. These data together with the phylogenetic relationships of JYMaV with other recognized emaraviruses support the proposal that JYMaV is the representative member of a novel species in the genus Emaravirus. In agreement with this proposal, virus-like particles and double-membrane-bound bodies, similar to those previously reported for other emaraviruses, were observed by transmission electron microscopy in extracts and tissues from symptomatic leaves, respectively. A specific RT-PCR-based detection method has been developed and used in a preliminary field survey that provided results strongly supporting the close association of JYMaV with the novel disease.
