RESUMO
The activities of the de-N-glycosylation enzymes endo-N-acetyl- [beta]-D-glucosaminidase (ENGase; EC 3.2.1.96) and peptide-N4- (N-acetyl-[beta]-D-glucosaminyl) asparagine amidase (PNGase; EC 3.5.1.52) were monitored during germination and postgerminative development in radish (Raphanus sativus L. cv Flamboyant). The ENGase activity was detected only during postgermination, whereas the PNGase activity was present at high levels in both stages. When germination was inhibited with abscisic acid or cycloheximide, PNGase activity was detected at a basic level and ENGase activity was not detected at all. PNGase is present as an active protein in dry seeds and is apparently synthesized during seed formation. Conversely, the absence of ENGase in dry seeds suggests that its activity is dependent on the protein synthesis that occurs during and after germination. Treatment with gibberellic acid confirmed the production of both de-N-glycosylation enzymes after germination, and demonstrated a temporal delay between the production of the two enzymes during this period. Our results suggest that the two de-N-glycosylation enzymes are differentially regulated during plant development.
