title: Bovine plasma amine oxidase interactions with concanavalin A in solution and with concanavalin A-Sepharose.
abstract: The reaction of bovine plasma amine oxidase, a glycoprotein, with Concanavalin A in 0.1 M potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7.0 at 25 degrees C were investigated by equilibrium and kinetic methods. A tentative mechanism for the reaction was derived. The Concanavalin A-enzyme interaction was used to show that the carbohydrate is not essential for activity and that the carbohydrate is covalently attached to the protein at a site distant from the active site. Concanavalin A-Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography of the enzyme was found to be useful for obtaining the pure enzyme. Chromatographic conditions which elute the enzyme are reported. The superiority of the Concanavalin A-Sepharose 4B over that of the substrate-affinity Sepharose affinity support is discussed. The phenylhydrazone derivative of the enzyme, which was inactive, was shown to bind to the concanavalin A-Sepharose column.
