Purification and characterization of a ferredoxin-NADP super(+) oxidoreductase-like enzyme from radish root tissues

An enzyme able to reduce cytochrome c via ferredoxin in the presence of NADPH, was isolated, purified from radish (Raphanus sativus var acanthiformis cultivar miyashige ) roots and characterized. The results suggest that the enzyme is similar to ferredoxin-NADP super(+) oxidoreductase from chloropla...

Description
Summary:An enzyme able to reduce cytochrome c via ferredoxin in the presence of NADPH, was isolated, purified from radish (Raphanus sativus var acanthiformis cultivar miyashige ) roots and characterized. The results suggest that the enzyme is similar to ferredoxin-NADP super(+) oxidoreductase from chloroplasts and cyanobacteria and is the key enzyme catalyzing the electron transport between NADPH, generated by the pentose phosphate pathway, and ferredoxin in plastids of plant heterotrophic tissues.
