Abstract
A study of substrate–inhibitor specificity of mitochondrial monoamine oxidase (MAO) in the hepatopancreas of the adult Kamchatka crab Paralithodes camtschaticus revealed specific catalytic properties of the enzyme. On the one hand, crab hepatopancreas MAO, like its classical hepatic counterpart, can deaminate tyramine, tryptamine, dopamine, serotonin, noradrenalin, benzylamine, β-phenylethylamine and N-methylhistamine but shows no sensitivity to 10 mM semicarbazide. On the other hand, MAO deaminates histamine but not putrescine, two classical diamine oxidase (DAO) substrates. It was established that MAO activity was several times higher toward benzylamine, β-phenylethylamine and N-methylhistamine than toward serotonin and noradrenalin. MAO was also found to be almost 500 times more sensitive to its selective inhibitor deprenyl than to chlorogilyn. A substrate–inhibitory analysis with the use of deprenyl and chloroginyl provides an indirect evidence for the existence of a sole MAO molecular form in the Kamchatka crab hepatopancreas.
