Description:

Coniferin has ATP-dependent transport activity; the extracts of the Balanophora involucrate and trans-Coniferin have anti-oxidation effects; the chromogenic coniferin analog show the exclusive presence of beta-glucosidase activity in the differentiating xylem, similar to peroxidase activity.

A beta-glucosidase from lodgepole pine xylem specific for the lignin precursor coniferin.   

Coniferin, the glucoside of the monolignol coniferyl alcohol, accumulates to high levels in gymnosperms during spring-cambial reactivation. A cinnamyl alcohol glucoside/beta-glucosidase system is thought to play a key role in lignification by releasing the monolignol aglycones. Investigation of such an enzyme system in the xylem of Pinus contorta var latifolia Engelm. revealed two major beta-glucosidases. 

METHODS AND RESULTS:

One efficiently hydrolyzed the native substrate, Coniferin, and the other was more active against synthetic glucosides. The Coniferin beta-glucosidase was purified to apparent homogeneity using anion exchange, hydrophobic interaction, and size-exclusion chromatography. The apparent native molecular weight was estimated to be 60,000. A dominant 28-kD protein and a minor 24-kD protein were detected in the purified preparation following sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Immunological evidence from polyclonal antibodies directed against the synthetic N-terminal peptide of the 24-kD protein suggested that the native protein is a dimer of 28-kD subunit size. 

CONCLUSIONS:

The N-terminal sequence showed that Coniferin beta-glucosidase has high homology to known plant beta-glucosidases. Coniferin, syringin, and a synthetic Coniferin analog were preferred substrates for the Coniferin beta-glucosidase. In situ localization using the chromogenic Coniferin analog showed the exclusive presence of beta-glucosidase activity in the differentiating xylem, similar to peroxidase activity.

Study of Anti-oxidation Effects of Extracts of Balanophora Involucrate and Trans-Coniferin.   

METHODS AND RESULTS:

To study the anti-oxidation effect of extracts of Balanophora involucrate and trans-Coniferin,using the methods of DHHP to study the anti-oxidation effect of extracts of Balanophora involucrate and trans-Coniferin.When the concentration of the extracts of Balanophora involucrate is 3 mg/mL,the absorbency is the least;other concentrations can definitly eliminate the DPPH free radical. 

CONCLUSIONS:

The conclusion is that both the extracts of the Balanophora involucrate and trans-Coniferin have anti-oxidation effects.
