l-Canaline, a potent inhibitor of pyridoxal phosphate-mediated reactions, markedly inhibited the conversion of methionine to ethylene and carbon dioxide by apple tissue. A 50% inhibition of methionine conversion into ethylene was obtained with 50 mum canaline and almost complete inhibition with 300 mum canaline. When 2,4-dinitrophenol, an oxidative phosphorylation uncoupler, was fed to apple tissue, it inhibited the conversion of radioactive methionine to ethylene by 50% at a concentration of 60 mum and by 90% at a concentration of 100 mum. Production of labeled carbon dioxide from acetate-1-(14)C was increased by 2,4-dinitrophenol, indicating that the inhibition of ethylene production was due to uncoupling of phosphorylation. Auxin-induced ethylene production by mungbean (Phaseolus mungo L.) hypocotyl sections was similarly inhibited by these inhibitors.These results support the proposal that pyridoxal phosphate is involved in the formation of ethylene from methionine, substantiate the requirement for ATP in ethylene production, and suggest that this ATP requirement occurs in the step (s) between methionine and ethylene. The biosynthetic mechanism probably involves activation of methionine by ATP followed by a pyridoxal phosphate-mediated gamma-elimination.
