Area of Science:

Biochemistry
Plant Physiology

Background:

Proteinases play crucial roles in plant development and stress responses.
Understanding potato proteinase activity is vital for agricultural and biotechnological applications.

Purpose of the Study:

To screen potato vegetative tissues for endopeptidase and exopeptidase activity.
To characterize the identified proteinases based on their physical and chemical properties.

Main Methods:

Screening of potato tissues (leaves, roots, flowers, sprouts, tubers) for proteinase activity.
Utilizing substrates like gelatin and various L-amino acid-4-nitroanilides (BAPA, GLUPHEPA, APA, LPA, BTPA).
Characterization of identified proteinases (L-BAPAase, APAase, BTPAase) including optima, isoelectric points, and molecular weights.

Main Results:

Leaves and roots displayed the highest endopeptidase activity.
Three proteinase types were identified: L-BAPAase (serine proteinase), APAase (thiol proteinase), and BTPAase.
Characterization revealed distinct optima (temperature and pH), isoelectric points, and molecular weights for each proteinase type.

Conclusions:

Potato vegetative tissues possess diverse proteinase activities.
The characterized proteinases exhibit unique properties, suggesting specialized functions within the plant.
Further research can explore the specific roles of these proteinases in potato physiology.
