title: Modification of substrate-inhibitor affinities of human platelet monoamine oxidase B in vitro.
abstract: The rate of benzylamine utilization by monoamine oxidase (MAO)-B from human blood platelets was 2-4 times higher than that for octopamine. Both activities were inhibited 100% by 10(-7) M deprenyl (a specific MAO-B inhibitor) and were not affected by clorgyline (a specific MAO-A inhibitor) or by polyclonal antibodies to MAO-A. The preincubation of platelet MAO-B with purified MAO-A from mitochondrial membranes of human placenta resulted in appearance of excess octopamine activity. This additional activity was not precipitated by antibodies to MAO-A or inhibited by deprenyl but was inhibited by clorgyline. Incubation of the MAO-A preparation from placenta at 45 degrees C for 15 min before its preincubation with MAO-B caused 50% loss of both activities. Protease inhibitors had no effect on the modification of MAO. These data indicate that MAO-A or a factor tightly bound to it can modify MAO-B yielding a form of the enzyme with both MAO-A and MAO-B substrate and inhibitor affinities and MAO-B immunospecificity.
