Effects of Cyclic-AMP and Tannin on the Amylase Biosynthesis Induced by Gibberellin in Aleurone Layer I. Acid Phosphatase

Cyclic-AMP와 탄닌이 지베레린으로 유도되는 Amylase 생합성에 미치는 영향 I. Acid Phosphatase

The effect of cyclic-AMP on the induction of acid phosphatase activity in barley aleurone layers was examined. Tannic acid was used as a inhibitor. Decursinol and coumarin were also used as a comparison. Maxiumu promotion of the enzyme activity was obtained with 10-5M cyclic-AMP, but this promotion was lower than that of 10-5M GAS induced enzyme activity in incubation medium. The inhibition rate in the addition of tannic acid was shown 17% and 63% at a ratio to GAs (by weight) of 10 : 1, and 58% and 94% at a ratio of 100 : 1 treated with GAs, and cyclic-AMP, respectively. The most potentiation of 10-6M GAS effect was induced by the additiion of suboptimal concentration (10-6M) of cyclic-AMP. Additional GAs and cyclic-AMP were shown the recovery of the enzyme activity inhibited by tannic acid. The combination with cyclic-AMP and theophylline enhanced the enzyme activity, too. Any other nucleotides tested except cyclic-AMP didn't show the action. There were no differences in acid phosphatase isozyme patterns by polyacrylamide disc electrophoresis, in conjunction with the different additions but the size of bands showed great differences. Especially, the 3rd band and the 5th band group were remarkable.
