Аннотация
CONTEXT: Phenylketonuria (PKU) is the most common hereditary defect of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) enzyme achieving the hydroxylation of phenylalanine (Phe). Phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) converts Phe to a harmless metabolite, trans-cinnamic acid (TCA) in plants and PAL enzyme activity is fairly high in plants rich in flavonoids.
OBJECTIVE: The study aimed the biochemical analysis of PAL form Centaurea depressa BIEB. (Asteraceae) a flavonoid rich plant. This study may form the main frame of future research efforts for the development of a plant preparation aimed for oral intake in PKU patients in an attempt to enrich their diet by allowing them to ingest some food stuff containing Phe without being exposed to complications.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: PAL was partially purified from the leaves of C. depressa. Enzyme activity was determined in comparison with that of other herbs that reportedly have a high PAL activity. Enzyme optimization was achieved and the PAL protein was detected by western blotting.
RESULTS: C. depressa PAL demonstrated high activity (34.9 ± 0.6 U/mg protein). The enzyme was purified by 1.92-fold, which resulted in an activity of 53.30 ± 0.2 U/mg protein. The high-performance liquid chromatography analyzes of the PAL activity both before and after purification were in agreement. Western blot of PAL exhibited a 70 kDa protein band. The optimum pH and temperature are pH 8.8 and 37 °C. The optimum activities under gastric and intestinal digestion conditions were observed at pH 4.0 and pH 8.0, respectively.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: PAL activity of C. depressa is high, and does not disappear under different environmental conditions. This enzyme could be used for the development of dietary foods and biotechnological products for patients with PKU.
