L-threonine dehydratase was purified 70-fold, with 35% recovery from the seeds of C. campestris. The enzyme was apparently homogeneous as judged by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at pH 7.0, 7.5 and 9.5 at 3 concentrations of gels (5, 7.5 and 10%). Gel filtration analysis revealed a MW of 230,000 for the purified enzyme. Gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate indicated the presence of 4 subunits/enzyme molecule. The enzyme contains 4 sulfhydryl groups/mol of protein. The biodegradative L-threonine dehydratase activity showed optimum at pH 8.5. The enzyme was not inhibited by isoleucine and does not require externally added pyridoxal phosphate for its maximum activity. The enzyme was insensitive to AMP, ADP, .beta.-mercaptoethanol and glutathione. Iodoacetate, PCMB [para-mercuribenzoate] and ethylmaleimide inhibited the enzyme 12, 88 and 70%, respectively, at 1 .times. 10-2 M. The enzyme was slightly activated by glycine, arginine and histidine.
