Abstract
Acetolactate synthase was purified from Escherichia coli MF2000/pTATX containing Arabidopsis thaliana acetolactate synthase gene. Purification steps included DEAE cellulose ion exchange column chromatography, phenyl sepharose hydrophobic column chromatography, hydroxylapatite affinity column chromatography, and Mono-Q HPLC. Molecular weight was estimated to be ∼65 KDa and purification fold was 109 times. The enzyme showed a pH optimum of 7 and the KM value was 5.9 mM. The purified enzyme was not inhibited by any of the end products, valine, leucine, and isoleucine.
