ABSTRACT
Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate strongly and reversibly inhibited maize leaf 5-amino levulinic acid dehydratase. The inhibition was linearly competitive with respect to the substrate 5-aminolevulinic acid at pH values between 7 to 9·0. Pyridoxal was also effective as an inhibitor of the enzyme but pyridoxamine phosphate was not inhibitory. The results suggest that pyridoxal 5'-phosphate may be interacting with the enzyme either close to or at the 5- aminolevulinic acid binding site. This conclusion was further corroborated by the detection of a Schiff base between the enzyme and the substrate, 5-aminolevulinic acid and by reduction of pyridoxal phosphate and substrate complexes with sodium borohydride.
