Inactivation by Phenylglyoxal of the Specific Binding of 1-Naphthyl Acetic Acid with Membrane-Bound Auxin Binding Sites from Maize Coleoptiles

Abstract

The specific binding of 1-[3H]naphthyl acetic acid (NAA) to membrane-bound binding sites from maize (Zea mays cv INRA 258) coleoptiles is inactivated by phenylglyoxal. The inactivation obeys pseudo first-order kinetics. The rate of inactivation is proportional to phenylglyoxal concentration. Under conditions at which significant binding occurs, NAA, R and S-1-naphthyl 2-propionic acids protect the auxin binding site against inactivation by phenylglyoxal. Scatchard analysis shows that the inhibition of binding corresponds to a decrease in the concentration of sites but not in the affinity. The results of the present chemical modification study indicate that at least one arginyl residue is involved in the positively charged recognition site of the carboxylate anion of NAA.
