Myrciaria dubia is an Amazonian fruit that has high content of vitamin C. Studies that demonstrate that the excessive increase of ascorbic acid in M. dubia, is due to enzymes, are scarce. L-GulDH is an enzyme that synthesizes the final step to ascorbic acid in plants. To understand the biochemical processes involved, the L-GulDH characterization was performed on M dubia. It was determined that this enzyme is found in mitochondrial and cytosolic fractions of various tissues of M. dubia, presenting higher catalytic activity in the cytosolic fraction. Also, it showed that LGulDH has enzymatic activity with different electron acceptors (1 ,4-benzoquinone, cytochrome C, phenazine methosulfate, NAD+, NADP+), being greater with 1,4- benzoquinone. Was also strongly inhibited by divalent ions (Cu2 +, Hg2 l, as well as by N-ethylmaleimide and the chelating agent EDT A Furthermore, it was demonstrated that L-GulDH is stable at pH 7.0 and temperature of26.5 oc. Similarly, L-GulDH presented a Km of 8.27 J.lmol. In conclusion, these experimental evidence indicates that L-GulDH presents isoenzymes in mitochondrial and cytosolic fractions, which increases its catalytic activity at physiological pH and ambient temperature. Enzyme inhibition, L-GulDH evidence presented in the active site catalytic cysteine residue, and certain metal cofactors. The determined Km value indicates the high affinity of the enzyme for its substrate, which could explain the excessive increase of vitamin C inM. dubia.
