Previous studies have identified that indole-oxidases are present in P. putida, whose major ligands are heterocyclic substrates and have an interesting affinity when the substrate is indole. 771-51-7, formula is C10H8N2, Name is 2-(1H-Indol-3-yl)acetonitrile. These enzymes oxidize the ring so the substrate turns into Indigo. Formula: C10H8N2.
Skalicky, Vladimir;Vojtkova, Tereza;Pencik, Ales;Vrana, Jan;Juzon, Katarzyna;Kolackova, Veronika;Sedlarova, Michaela;Kubes, Martin F.;Novak, Ondrej research published 《 Auxin Metabolite Profiling in Isolated and Intact Plant Nuclei》, the research content is summarized as follows. The plant nucleus plays an irreplaceable role in cellular control and regulation by auxin (indole-3-acetic acid, IAA) mainly because canonical auxin signaling takes place here. Auxin can enter the nucleus from either the endoplasmic reticulum or cytosol. Therefore, new information about the auxin metabolome (auxinome) in the nucleus can illuminate our understanding of subcellular auxin homeostasis. Different methods of nuclear isolation from various plant tissues have been described previously, but information about auxin metabolite levels in nuclei is still fragmented and insufficient. Herein, we tested several published nucleus isolation protocols based on differential centrifugation or flow cytometry. The optimized sorting protocol leading to promising yield, intactness, and purity was then combined with an ultra-sensitive mass spectrometry anal. Using this approach, we can present the first complex report on the auxinome of isolated nuclei from cell cultures of Arabidopsis and tobacco. Moreover, our results show dynamic changes in auxin homeostasis at the intranuclear level after treatment of protoplasts with free IAA, or indole as a precursor of auxin biosynthesis. Finally, we can conclude that the methodol. procedure combining flow cytometry and mass spectrometry offers new horizons for the study of auxin homeostasis at the subcellular level.
Formula: C10H8N2, 3-Indoleacetonitrile is a plant growth activator, which promotes callus growth and shoot formation in tobacco callus.
3-Indoleacetonitrile (Indolylacetonitrile) is a light-induced auxin-inhibitory substance that is isolated from light-grown cabbage (Brassica olearea L.) shoots. It inhibits the biofilm formation of both E. coli O157:H7 and P. aeruginosa without affecting its growth.
3-Indoleacetonitrile, also known as 3-(cyanomethyl)indole or IAN, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 3-alkylindoles. 3-alkylindoles are compounds containing an indole moiety that carries an alkyl chain at the 3-position. 3-Indoleacetonitrile exists as a solid and is considered to be practically insoluble (in water) and relatively neutral. Within the cell, 3-indoleacetonitrile is primarily located in the mitochondria. 3-Indoleacetonitrile participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, 3-indoleacetonitrile can be biosynthesized from acetonitrile. 3-Indoleacetonitrile is also a parent compound for other transformation products, including but not limited to, cys(ian)-gly, gammaglucys(ian), and L-cys(ian). Outside of the human body, 3-indoleacetonitrile can be found in a number of food items such as cloudberry, japanese persimmon, horned melon, and evergreen huckleberry. This makes 3-indoleacetonitrile a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Indole-3-acetonitrile is a nitrile that is acetonitrile where one of the methyl hydrogens is substituted by a 1H-indol-3-yl group. It has a role as an auxin, a plant hormone, a plant metabolite and a human xenobiotic metabolite. It is a nitrile and a member of indoles. It derives from an acetonitrile., 771-51-7.
