Abstract

The GA20 3β-hydroxylase present in immature seeds of Phaseolus vulgaris has been partially purified and characterized. The physical characteristics of the enzyme are similar to those of the GA 2β-hydroxylases present in mature and immature seeds of Pisum sativum. It is acid-labile, hydrophobic, and of Mr 45,000. The enzyme catalyzes the synthesis of GA1, GA5, and GA29 from GA20. Activity is dependent upon the presence of Fe2+, ascorbate, 2-oxoglutarate, and oxygen. 2-Oxoglutarate does not function as a cosubstrate; in the presence of the enzyme, succinate is not a reaction product.
