Plant myrosinases and glucosinolates constitute a defence system in cruciferous plants towards pests and diseases. We have purified for the first time a non-plant myrosinase from the cabbage aphid Brevicoryne brassicae (L.) to homogeneity. The protein was N-terminally blocked and protease (trypsin and lys c) degradation gave peptides of which five were sequenced. The protein is a dimer with subunits of mass 54 kDa+/-500 Da. Western blot analysis with an anti-aphid myrosinase antibody showed a strong cross reaction with a protein extract from the Brassica specialist, B. brassicae. The anti-aphid myrosinase antibody does not cross react with plant myrosinase neither does an anti-plant myrosinase antibody cross react with aphid myrosinase. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
