Title: Role of IAA-oxidase in the formation of ethylene from 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid
Abstract: The IAA-oxidase system of olive tree (Olea europea) in the presence of its substrate, IAA, and cofactors, DCP and Mn2, forms ethylene from 1-aminocyclopropane-l-carboxylic acid (ACC) bound as a Schiffs base to pyridoxal phosphate. Similarly, olive leaf discs upon incubation with ACC liberate considerable amounts of ethylene. The results suggest that this IAA-oxidase system may be the one active in the last step in the biosynthesis of ethylene from methionine.
