Functional classification of esterases from leaves of Aspidosperma polyneuron M. Arg. (Apocynaceae)

Abstract: Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis system (PAGE) and inhibition tests for biochemical characterization of alpha- and beta-esterases were used to obtain a functional classification of esterases fromAspidosperma polyneuron. The characterization of alpha- and beta-esterases from young leaves of A. polyneuron by the PAGE system showed fourteen esterase isozymes. The differential staining pattern showed that Est-2 isozyme hydrolyzes beta-naphthyl acetate; Est-6, Est-7 and Est-8 isozymes hydrolyze alpha-naphthyl ace… Show more

“…So plant-esterase can be widely applied in rapid warning alerts and field analysis for OPs (Huo et al 2009). Several methods have been developed for the purification of plant-esterase by different researchers (Cummins and Edwards 2004;De Carvalho et al 2003;Stuhlfelder et al 2002). However, almost all these methods involve a large number of steps such as precipitation, centrifugation, dialysis, ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration chromatography which take higher loss of product yield (Kula et al 1992).…”

“…Most esterase isozymes in plant tissues have been classified as carboxylesterases (Pereira et al, 2001;Carvalho et al, 2003;Orasmo et al, 2007). The carboxylesterase activity in plants has been correlated with differentiation processes (Gahan et al, 1983;Melati et al, 1996), and different physiological roles have recently been attributed to these compounds.…”

“…Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) has been used to analyze α-and β-esterase genetic polymorphism in plants (Pereira et al, 2001;Carvalho et al, 2003;Orasmo et al, 2007;Frigo et al, 2009) and is also useful for analyses of the genetic diversity and structure of Capsicum accessions maintained at BAGC. Esterases are often found in multigene families (Robin et al, 1996), and a large number of esterase loci in plant tissues can be used simultaneously for the identification of genetic variation and polymorphism analyses.…”

“…They are adequate co-dominant markers for the analysis of genetic structure in populations. Esterases are often found in multigene families (Oakeshott et al, 1993;Robin et al, 1996); 14 to 16 esterase isozymes have been detected by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) in different plant species (Pereira et al, 2001;Carvalho et al, 2003;Orasmo et al, 2007;Frigo et al, 2009). A large number of esterase loci can be used simultaneously for the identification of genetic variation and for polymorphism analyses.…”

“…The PAGE system has been used for analysis of genetic diversity in peroba trees (Aspidosperma polyneuron; Carvalho et al, 2003), cassava (Manihot esculenta; Pereira et al, 2001), grapes (Vitis vinifera; Orasmo et al, 2007), and wild poinsettia (Euphorbia heterophylla; Frigo et al, 2009), but no such studies have been made of soybean (Glycine max) cultivars. Genetic diversity in soybean has been assessed using morphological traits (Perry et al, 1991), pedigrees (Zhou et al, 2000), geographic origins (Gorman, 1984), parentage coefficient (Miranda et al, 2007), isozymes (Yu and Kiang, 1993;Griffin and Palmer, 1995;Hirata et al, 1999), and DNA markers (Abdelnoor et al, 1995;Li and Nelson, 2001;Ude et al, 2003;Xu and Gai, 2003;Priolli et al, 2002Priolli et al, , 2004Bonato et al, 2006;Yamanaka et al, 2007;Fu et al, 2007;Hwang et al, 2008).…”
