1-O-(indole-3-acetyl)-b-D-glucose: sugar indoleacetyl transferase (1-O-IAGlc-SugAc) is a novel enzyme catalyzing the transfer of the indoleacetyl (IA) moiety from 1-O-(indole-3-acetyl)-b-D-glucose to several saccharides to form ester-linked IAA conjugates. 1-O-IAGlc-SugAc was purified from liquid endosperm of Zea mays by fractionation with ammonium sulphate, anion-exchange, Blue Sepharose chromatography, affinity chromatography on Concanavalin A-Sepharose, adsorption on hydroxylapatite and preparative PAGE. The obtained enzyme preparation indicates only one band of Rf 0.67 on 8% non-denaturing PAGE consisting of two polypeptides of 42 and 17 kDa in SDS/PAGE. Highly purified 1-O-IAGlc-SugAc shows maximum transferase activity with monosaccharides (mannose, glucose, and galactose), lower activity with disaccharides (melibiose, gentobiose) and trisaccharide (raffinose) and minimal enzymatic activity with oligosaccharides from the raffinose family as well. The novel acyltransferase exhibits, besides its primary indoleacetylation of sugar, minor hydrolytic and disproportionation activities producing free IAA and supposedly 1,2-di-O-(indole-3-acetyl)-b-glucose, respectively. Presumably, 1-O-IAGlc-SugAc, like 1-O-indole-3-acetyl-b-D-glucosedependent myo-inositol acyltransferase (1-O-IAGlc-InsAc), is another member of the serine carboxypeptidase-like (SCPL) acyltransferase family.
