TY - JOUR. T1 - Expression of a moderately anionic peroxidase is induced by aluminum treatment in tobacco cells. T2 - Possible involvement of peroxidase isozymes in aluminum ion stress. AU - Ezaki, Bunichi. AU - Tsugita, Shinobu. AU - Matsumoto, Hideaki. PY - 1996/1. Y1 - 1996/1. N2 - To clarify the mechanism of aluminum (Al) toxicity and Al tolerance, we isolated a new clone (pAL201) from a tobacco cDNA library. Northern blot hybridization analysis indicated that the expression of pAL201 is induced by Al treatment and phosphate (Pi) starvation. The complete cDNA sequence suggested that this clone encodes a moderately anionic peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.7). Analysis by isoelectric focussing indicated that a moderately anionic peroxidase (approximately pI 6.7) and two cationic peroxidases (pI 9.2 and 9.7) in the soluble fraction are activated by Al treatment and Pi starvation, while two moderately anionic isozymes are repressed by these stresses. We suppose that Al ion stress can control the activity ...

Fungal secretory peroxidases mediate fundamental ecological functions in the conversion and degradation of plant biomass. Many of these enzymes have strong oxidizing activities towards aromatic compounds and are involved in the degradation of plant cell wall (lignin) and humus. They comprise three major groups: class II peroxidases (including lignin peroxidase, manganese peroxidase, versatile peroxidase and generic peroxidase), dye-decolorizing peroxidases, and heme-thiolate peroxidases (e.g. unspecific/aromatic peroxygenase, chloroperoxidase). Here, we have repeatedly observed a widespread expression of all major peroxidase groups in leaf and needle litter across a range of forest ecosystems (e.g. Fagus, Picea, Acer, Quercus, and Populus spp.), which are widespread in Europe and North America. Manganese peroxidases and unspecific peroxygenases were found expressed in all nine investigated forest sites, and dye-decolorizing peroxidases were observed in five of the nine sites, thereby indicating

Hydrogen peroxide is thought to regulate cellular processes by direct oxidation of numerous cellular proteins, whereas antioxidants, most notably thiol peroxidases, are thought to reduce peroxides and inhibit H2O2 response. However, thiol peroxidases have also been implicated in activation of transcription factors and signaling. It remains unclear if these enzymes stimulate or inhibit redox regulation and whether this regulation is widespread or limited to a few cellular components. Herein, we found that Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells lacking all eight thiol peroxidases were viable and withstood redox stresses. They transcriptionally responded to various redox treatments, but were unable to activate and repress gene expression in response to H2O2. Further studies involving redox transcription factors suggested that thiol peroxidases are major regulators of global gene expression in response to H2O2. The data suggest that thiol peroxidases sense and transfer oxidative signals to the signaling ...

Thiol peroxidases are critical enzymes in the redox control of cellular processes that function by reducing low levels of hydroperoxides and regulating redox signaling. These proteins were also shown to regulate genome stability, but how their dysfunction affects the actual mutations in the genome is not known. Saccharomyces cerevisiae has eight thiol peroxidases of glutathione peroxidase and peroxiredoxin families, and the mutant lacking all these genes (Δ8) is viable. In this study, we employed two independent Δ8 isolates to analyze the genome-wide mutation spectrum that results from deficiency in these enzymes. Deletion of these genes was accompanied by a dramatic increase in point mutations, many of which clustered in close proximity and scattered throughout the genome, suggesting strong mutational bias. We further subjected multiple lines of wild-type and Δ8 cells to long-term mutation accumulation, followed by genome sequencing and phenotypic characterization. Δ8 lines showed a ...

White-rot fungi (WRF) are capable of degrading complex organic compounds such as lignin, and the enzymes that enable these processes can be used for the detoxification of recalcitrant organopollutants. The aim of this study is to evaluate a system based on the use of an in vitro ligninolytic enzyme for the detoxification of recalcitrant dye pollutants. The dyes selected for investigation were the anionic and cationic commercial azo dyes, basic blue 41 (BB41), acid black 1 (AB1), and reactive black 5 (RB5). A supernatant, cell-free culture of WRF with manganese peroxidase activity was used to investigate its degradative capacity under various conditions, and concentrations of cofactors, H2O2 and Mn2+. The assays were carried out using a 22 experimental designs whose variables were concentration of Mn2+ (33 and 1,000 μM) and semicontinuous dosage of the H2O2 (0.02 and 0.10 μmol) added at a frequency of 0.2 min−1. The response variables analyzed were the efficiency and the initial rate of the ...

The main objective of this study was to investigate the effect of adding a pretreatment stage in conventional hydrogen peroxide bleaching of high yield pulps. To achieve this, three main variables considered crucial in the effectiveness of manganese peroxidase on the oxidation of lignin substructures, were chosen to evaluate the effect of this enzyme on high yield pulps. The responses to evaluate this effect were brightness, brightness reversion, pulp viscosity, and yield. Other properties included opacity, scattering and absorption coefficients, and the Hunter Lab values. The pulps were bleached using two sequences Q(MnP), and Q(MnP)QP, to assess the effect of the enzyme alone and when it was a pretreatment. Malonate buffer concentration, MnP charge, and pH were the three factors used and they were varied between two levels, high and low. An analysis of the data indicate that both sequences raised the brightnesses of the two pulps. Following Q(MnP)QP bleaching, brightness reversion was reduced, pulp

Title: Recents Patents in the Use of Peroxidases. VOLUME: 3 ISSUE: 2. Author(s):Berenize Alvarado and Eduardo Torres. Affiliation:Benemerita Universidad Autonoma de Puebla, Centro de Quimica-ICUAP. Ciudad Universitaria, Puebla, 72570. Mexico.. Keywords:Biosensor, enzymatic oxidation, peroxidases, review. Abstract: Peroxidases are hemoenzymes with a wide range of applications, from fine chemical synthesis to environmental biocatalysis. These outstanding biocatalysts are able to catalyze reactions such as heteroatom oxidation (Nand S-oxidation), epoxidation, hydroxylation, and the oxidation of alcohols and indole, often giving high yields and enantiomeric excess values. This makes these biocatalysts very useful for application to several biotechnological processes. In this paper, recent advances and patents surrounding the use of peroxidases are reviewed, covering different aspects related to the applications of peroxidases and the modifications carried out to improve their functionality as ...

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a facultative anaerobic pathogen. Although it maintains fermentative metabolism, during aerobic growth pneumococci produce high levels of H2O2, which can have adverse effects on cell viability and DNA, and influence pneumococcal interaction with its host. The pneumococcus is unusual in its dealing with toxic reactive oxygen species in that it neither has catalase nor the global regulators of peroxide stress resistance. Previously, we identified pneumococcal thiol peroxidase (TpxD) as the key enzyme for enzymatic removal of H2O2, and showed that TpxD synthesis is up-regulated upon exposure to H2O2. This study aimed to reveal the mechanism controlling TpxD expression under H2O2 stress. We hypothesize that H2O2 activates a transcription factor which in turn up-regulates tpxD expression. Microarray analysis revealed a pneumococcal global transcriptional response to H2O2. Mutation of tpxD abolished H2O2-mediated response to high H2O2 levels, signifying the need for an active TpxD

Within biological systems iron is a transition metal that allows access to the benefits of molecular oxygen as an oxidant. However, with these benefits come grave consequences if the reactions are not strictly controlled. The most prominent strategy of control and specialization is the protein environment that surrounds iron. Within iron containing proteins, specifically heme proteins, there are four basic levels of structure that impact the irons function: cofactor structure, protein-supplied ligands, non-ligand active site environment, and protein features that are distant from the active site. This last level remains poorly understood due to a lack of good models to pursue such studies. Catalase-peroxidases are unique heme proteins because they catalyze peroxide decomposition by two separate mechanisms, catalase and peroxidase, using the same active site. However, were it not for three structural features distant from the active site, catalase-peroxidases would be practically superimposable ...

The ionic strength dependence of the reduction of cytochrome c peroxidase compound I by horse cytochrome c has been studied, using stopped-flow technigue, in pH 7.5, potassium phosphate/nitrate buffer. The temperature was set at 25 ± 1° C. The wavelength was monitored at 4 32 nm, an isobestic point for ferri-/ferrocytochrome c, so only the absorbance change of the reduction of cytochrome c peroxidase compound I to compound II can be observed. The observed rate constant, kobs, as a function of the concentration of ferrocytochrome c shows a non-linear increase with increasing ionic strength. A two-parameter eguation is needed to fit the data at low ionic strength, 20 mM to 40 mM, while a three-parameter equation is needed at high ionic strength, 65 mM and above. The maximum rates of these reductions also show two different types of ionic strength dependence. At 20 mM to 40 mM ionic strength, the maximum rate of reduction decreases slightly, within experimental error, with increasing ionic ...

We previously demonstrated that manganese peroxidase from the white-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium was very susceptible to thermal inactivation due to the loss of calcium from the enzyme [Sutherland & Aust (1996) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 332, 128-134]. The structural changes that occur during thermal inactivation and the release of calcium from manganese peroxidase have now been characterized. Thermal inactivation caused distinct alterations in the heme environment and slight changes in the overall protein structure, both of which were reversed upon reactivation of the enzyme with calcium. The absorption spectrum of inactivated manganese peroxidase was similar to that of low-spin ferric heme proteins, indicating that a sixth ligand had bound to the distal side of the heme iron. Consistent with disruption of the distal heme environment, thermally inactivated manganese peroxidase did not react with hydrogen peroxide to form compound I. The inactive enzyme exhibited a pH-dependent absorption

Species of the genus Pleurotus are among the most efficient natural species in lignin degradation belonging to the subclass of ligninolytic organisms that produce laccase (Lac), Mn-dependent peroxidase (MnP), versatile peroxidase (VP), and the H2O2-generating enzyme aryl-alcohol oxidase, but not lignin peroxidases. Production of Lac and oxidation of 2,6-dimethoxyphenol (DMP) in the presence and absence of Mn2+ were detected both in submerged fermentation (SF) of dry ground mandarine peels and in solid-state fermentation (SSF) of grapevine sawdust in all investigated Pleurotus species and strains. Evidence of cultivation methods having a distinct influence on the level of enzyme activities has been demonstrated. Most of the species and strains had higher Lac activity under SSF conditions than under SF conditions. DMP oxidation in the presence and absence of Mn2+ was detected in all investigated species and strains, but was lower under SF conditions than under SSF conditions for most of ...them. ...

Author(s): Smith, Martyn T.; Yager, J; Steinmetz, K; Eastmond, D | Abstract: The metabolism of two of benzenes phenolic metabolites, phenol and hydroquinone, by peroxidase enzymes has been studied in detail. Studies employing horseradish peroxidase and human myeloperoxidase have shown that in the presence of hydrogen peroxide phenol is converted to 4,4-diphenoquinone and other covalent binding metabolites, whereas hydroquinone is converted solely to 1,4-benzoquinone. Surprisingly, phenol stimulates the latter conversion rather than inhibiting it, an effect that may play a role in the in vivo myelotoxicity of benzene. Indeed, repeated coadministration of phenol and hydroquinone to B6C3F1 mice results in a dramatic and significant decrease in bone marrow cellularity similar to that observed following benzene exposure. A mechanism of benzene-induced myelotoxicity is therefore proposed in which the accumulation and interaction of phenol and hydroquinone in the bone marrow and the peroxidase-dependent

Mitochondrial swelling and membrane protein thiol oxidation associated with mitochondrial permeability transition induced by Ca2+ and inorganic phosphate are inhibited in a dose-dependent manner either by catalase, the thiol-specific antioxidant enzyme (TSA), a protein recently demonstrated to present thiol peroxidase activity, or ebselen, a selenium-containing heterocycle which also possesses thiol peroxidase activity. This inhibition of mitochondrial permeability transition is due to the removal of mitochondrial-generated H2O2, which can easily diffuse to the extramitochondrial space. Whereas ebselen required the presence of reduced glutathione as a reductant to grant its protective effect, TSA was fully reduced by mitochondrial components. Decrease in the oxygen concentration of the reaction medium also inhibits mitochondrial permeabilization and membrane protein thioloxidation, in a concentration-dependent manner. The results presented in this report confirm that mitochondrial permeability ...

Lactoperoxidase is a peroxidase enzyme secreted from mammary, salivary, and other mucosal glands that functions as a natural antibacterial agent. Lactoperoxidase is a member of the heme peroxidase family of enzymes. In humans, lactoperoxidase is encoded by the LPO gene. Lactoperoxidase catalyzes the oxidation of a number of inorganic and organic substrates by hydrogen peroxide. These substrates include bromide and iodide and therefore lactoperoxidase can be categorised as a haloperoxidase. Another important substrate is thiocyanate. The oxidized products produced through the action of this enzyme have potent bactericidal activities. Lactoperoxidase together with its inorganic ion substrates, hydrogen peroxide, and oxidized products is known as the lactoperoxidase system. The lactoperoxidase system plays an important role in the innate immune system by killing bacteria in milk and mucosal (linings of mostly endodermal origin, covered in epithelium, which are involved in absorption and secretion) ...

en] The cloning and sequencing of the rbpa gene coding for a versatile peroxidase from a novel Bjerkandera strain is hereby reported. The 1777 bp isolated fragment contained a 1698 bp peroxidase-encoding gene, interrupted by 11 introns. The 367 amino acid-deduced sequence includes a 27 amino acid-signal peptide. The molecular model, built via homology modelling with crystal structures of four fungal peroxidases, highlighted the amino acid residues putatively involved in manganese binding and aromatic substrate oxidation. The potential heme pocket residues (R44, F47, H48, E79, N85, H177, F194 and D239) include both distal and proximal histidines (H48 and H177). RBP possesses potential calcium-binding residues (D49, G67, D69, S71, S178, D195, T197, I200 and D202) and eight cysteine residues (C3, C15, C16, C35, C121, C250, C286, C316). In addition, RIBP includes residues involved in substrate oxidation: three acidic residues (E37, E41 and D183)-putatively involved in manganese binding and H83 and ...

A picture of substrate binding for small, aromatic substrates at the δ-heme edge emerged largely from chemical modification work (reviewed in [5,6,14,15]), although NMR also played an important role [16-23]. A few structures appeared at the end of the 1990s for horseradish peroxidase and Arthromyces ramosus peroxidase in complex with various small organic molecules [1-3], showing binding at the δ-heme edge, and there is now a collection of other crystal structures in which binding of various organic compounds has been observed at the same site (not all of which are genuine substrates) [1-3,12,13,24-27]. For CcP, there was a general consensus of opinion that small substrates were bound close to the δ-site [7,28-30]. The actual binding site for guaiacol has never been identified, although there is a report of phenol binding to an artificially created cavity in CcP [31].. In our structure, we observed guaiacol binding at two sites, close to Phe68 and Ile40. Guaiacol was not seen bound at the ...

This enzyme contains five disulfide bonds, two calcium ions, and one heme prosthetic group. Circular dichroism in the far UV was used to monitor global changes of the protein secondary structure, whereas UV-visible spectroscopy of the Soret band provided information about local changes in the heme cavity. The effects of reducing agents, oxidizing agents, and denaturants on this process were investigated. In addition to affecting the secondary structure content, these factors also affect the binding of the heme and the calcium ions, both of which have a significant effect on the folding process. Our results also show that denaturants induce ...

Endogenous peroxidase activity has been demonstrated in sections of rat liver fixed briefly by glutaraldehyde perfusion and incubated in Graham and Karnovskys medium for cytochemical demonstration of peroxidase activity (29). In 25-40% of sinusoidal cells, an electron-opaque reaction product is localized in segments of the endoplasmic reticulum, including the perinuclear cisternae, a few Golgi vesicles and saccules and in some large membrane-bounded granules. This staining is abolished after prolonged fixation or boiling of tissue sections in glutaraldehyde, and in the absence of H2O2 or DAB from the incubation medium. Furthermore, the reaction is inhibited completely by sodium azide and high concentrations of H2O2, and partially by KCN and aminotriazole. Among the different cells in hepatic sinusoids, the nonphagocytic fat-storing cells (39) are always peroxidase negative, whereas the lining cells in process of erythrophagocytosis are consistently peroxidase positive. The possible biological ...

The plasma membrane-bound peroxidases (PRX) zmprx01, zmprx66 and zmprx70 and the respiratory burst oxidase homologs (RBOH) rbohA, rbohB, rbohC and rbohD were analysed in this study. The distribution of the genes inside the roots was investigated by real-time qPCR. Therefor four different segments (root tip, elongation zone, differentiation zone and lateral roots) were in focus of the analyses. It could be observed that the genes are differently distributed in the root. The peroxidases were predominantly expressed in the elongation zone and almost not in the root tip. The rboh genes were more inhomogeneous distributed. For each RBOH a specific expression pattern could be detected. rbohA was mostly expressed in the differentiation zone. rbohB was more even expressed in the root. rbohC was even distributed as well but predominantly in the elongation zone. rbohD was mostly expressed in the differentiation zone. For a further investigation of the peroxidases plants were exposed to cadmium (short term and

Reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as O2 and H2O2, play a key role in plant metabolism, cellular signaling, and defense. In leaf cells, the chloroplast is considered to be a focal point of ROS metabolism. It is a major producer of O2 and H2O2 during photosynthesis, and it contains a large array of ROS-scavenging mechanisms that have been extensively studied. By contrast, the function of the cytosolic ROS-scavenging mechanisms of leaf cells is largely unknown. In this study, we demonstrate that in the absence of the cytosolic H2O2-scavenging enzyme ascorbate peroxidase 1 (APX1), the entire chloroplastic H2O2-scavenging system of Arabidopsis thaliana collapses, H2O2 levels increase, and protein oxidation occurs. We further identify specific proteins oxidized in APX1-deficient plants and characterize the signaling events that ensue in knockout-Apx1 plants in response to a moderate level of light stress. Using a dominant-negative approach, we demonstrate that heat shock transcription factors play a ...

A dye-decolorizing peroxidase (DyP) from Pleurotus ostreatus (PosDyP4) catalyzes the oxidation of Mn2+ to Mn3+, in the presence of H2O2, with an efficiency similar to the well-known manganese peroxidases and versatile peroxidases from this and other white-rot fungi. PosDyP4 has been overexpressed in Escherichia coli as an active enzyme, and its crystal structure has been solved at 1.56 Å resolution. A combination of substrate diffusion simulations on the solved structure using the PELE software, electron paramagnetic resonance, and site-directed mutagenesis led to identification of the residues involved in Mn2+ oxidation. The oxidation site in PosDyP4 is different than the conserved site in the other Mn-oxidizing peroxidases mentioned above, and it includes four acidic residues (three aspartates and one glutamate) located at the surface of the protein. Moreover, since the Mn2+ ion is not in direct contact with the heme propionates, a tyrosine residue participates in the electron transfer to the ...

The basidiomycete isolate b19, originally identified by morphological characteristics of the fruiting body as Nematoloma frowardii, efficiently produces manganese peroxidase (MNP) and is used for degradation of natural, persistent aromatic polymers (lignin, humic acids and brown coal components). The N. frowardii MNP has shown good activity in conversion of xenobiotic compounds such as polycyclic hydrocarbons and trinitrotoluene. However, this biotechnologically promising fungus has not previously been studied at the molecular biology level. We show here that according to the molecular characterization of its main MNP isozyme, Nf b19 MNP2, and partial sequencing of its MNP3-, three lignin peroxidase- and two laccase-encoding genes, and the gene encoding the ribosomal SSU 18S RNA, that the fungus has a close phylogenetic relationship to the white-rot basidiomycete Phlebia radiata (Fr.). Ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence (ITS1+5.8S+ITS2) phylogeny reclassifies Nf b19 as a possible

The synthesized sheets exhibited outstanding peroxidase mimicking activity towards the peroxidase oxidation of chromogenic probe molecule 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethyl benzidine (TMB), producing a blue coloured solution of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine diimine (TMBDI) in an acidic medium (pH 4). Based on this peroxidase mimicking activity it was utilized for colorimetric determination of toxic Cr(vi) ions ...

In this study, we sought to determine whether the increases in peroxidase activity and electrolyte leakage induced in maize (Zea mays L.) leaves by sodium bisulfite were causally related to the sodium bisulfite-induced increases in sporulation of the pathogen Bipolaris maydis race T on infected maize leaves. Pretreatment of detached leaves of maize inbred W64 A with sodium bisulfite (500 ,ig/ml) for 24 h in the dark at 28°C increased peroxidase activity in the Tms cytoplasm (susceptible) isoline compared with the N cytoplasm (resistant) isoline. No such differences in peroxidase activity between the two isolines were observed when detached leaves were pretreated with double distilled water. The sodium bisulfite-induced increase in peroxidase activity persisted even when leaves pretreated with sodium bisulfite were inoculated with R maydis race T and subsequently incubated for 48 h in the dark at 28° C. Similarly, pretreatment with sodium bisulfite caused a greater increase in electrolyte ...

The ability of plant cells cultivated ,i,in vitro,/i, to metabolize polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) was correlated with the morphology of the cultures tested as models for phytoremediation studies. More differentiated cultures showed generally higher transformation capacity. The ability of plant cells to transform PCBs is connected to their viability in the presence of PCBs and their behaviour can be positively correlated with the production of intracellular and extracellular peroxidases. The cultures with high PCB-transforming activity proved to exhibit high peroxidase activity in the presence of PCBs while those with low ability to metabolize PCB showed a decrease of the enzyme activity in the presence of PCBs. Experiments with propylgallate were used to distinguish the ratio of involvement of peroxidases in PCB metabolism. ,p, ...

The protein encoded by this gene is an antioxidant enzyme and belongs to the peroxiredoxin family. The protein is localized to the cytoplasm. Peroxidases of the peroxiredoxin family reduce hydrogen peroxide and alkyl hydroperoxides to water and alcohol with the use of reducing equivalents derived from thiol-containing donor molecules. This protein has been found to play a regulatory role in the activation of the transcription factor NF-kappaB.

Thiol-specific peroxidase that catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides to water and alcohols, respectively. Plays a role in cell protection against oxidative stress by detoxifying peroxides.

The surface oxidation site (Trp171) in lignin peroxidase (LiP) which is specific for the reaction with the high redox potential substrate, veratryl alcohol (1.4 V), had been previously engineered in a heme peroxidase that has similar protein fold but lacks this activity. The new Trp site was engineered by introducing a Trp residue in the coprinus cinereus peroxidase (CiP) at the equivalent position to that of the Trp171 in LiP. In order to induce the catalytic activity towards veratryl alcohol in CiP, it was also necessary to reproduce the naturally-occurring negatively-charged microenvironment of the Trp site. Multifrequency EPR spectroscopy characterization of the D179W+R258E+R272D variant of CiP unequivocally showed that, upon reaction of the enzyme with hydrogen peroxide a new Trp radical (g-values of gx = 2.0035(5), gy = 2.0027(5) and gz = 2.0022(1)) was formed after the [Fe(IV)=O Por+] intermediate, as a result of intramolecular electron transfer between Trp179 and the porphyrin. The EPR ...

Suspension culture of compact callus aggregates (CCA) of Daucus carota (carrot), consisting of yellow, spherical cellular clumps displaying tissue differentiation was established. The production of peroxidase which was detected in trace amounts in dispersed carrot cell cultures was found in high amounts (5.0-14.5 U g(-1) FW) in CCA cultures. Kinetics analysis showed that CCA grew quickly for 4-12 days with a specific growth rate of 0.20 day(-1), while the peroxidase activity increased sharply after day 12. Fungal elicitors were found to effectively induce peroxidase synthesis. Peroxidase activity of 54.0 U g(-1) FW was obtained by adding Aspergillus niger elicitor at day 16 to make its concentration in medium 50 mg l(-1). (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.

The effect of NaCl on total peroxidase activity, induction of isoperoxidases and lipid peroxidation in 5-day-old seedlings of two contrasting genotypes of Setaria italica L. (Prasad, a salt tolerant cultivar and Lepakshi, a salt susceptible cultivar), was studied. Total peroxidase activity increased under NaCl salinity and the degree of elevation in the activity was salt concentration dependent. Nevertheless, a greater activity was recorded in the tolerant cultivar (cv Prasad) compared to the susceptible (cv Lepakshi) one in all days of sampling. Further, the pattern of isoperoxidases was modified during stress conditions as evident from the electrophoregrams. Although, five acidic isoforms were detected in both cultivars, differences were found between the cultivars. Furthermore, it was observed that acidic isoperoxidases were strongly expressed and an acidic isoperoxidase, A(3p) (27 kDa) is specifically found in the tolerant cultivar (cv Prasad) under NaCl stress. This isoform was partially ...

297283835 - EP 0898620 B1 2002-11-06 - ASSAY OF PEROXIDASE ACTIVITY - [origin: WO9739142A1] Chemiluminescent detection of molecules of synthetic or natural origin such as proteins and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), as well as other biologic molecules, is increasingly replacing radioactive detection as the method of choice where sensitivity is critical. In such assays, luminescence is customarily achieved by the oxidation of a luminol or isoluminol substrate in the presence of an oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide or hydrogen peroxide source, such as perborate, and a peroxidase catalyst such as horseradish peroxidase. To obtain useful levels of luminescence (e.g., detectable levels) by customary techniques, a luminescent enhancer is also present during oxidation. It has been found in the practice of the present invention that azine enhancers have contained an impurity which reduces the properties of the chemiluminescent assay working solutions. The present invention describes a working solution, a

Cold acclimation in woody perennials is a metabolically intensive process, but coincides with environmental conditions that are not conducive to the generation of energy through photosynthesis. While the negative effects of low temperatures on the photosynthetic apparatus during winter have been well studied, less is known about how this is reflected at the level of gene and metabolite expression, nor how the plant generates primary metabolites needed for adaptive processes during autumn. The MapMan tool revealed enrichment of the expression of genes related to mitochondrial function, antioxidant and associated regulatory activity, while changes in metabolite levels over the time course were consistent with the gene expression patterns observed. Genes related to thylakoid function were down-regulated as expected, with the exception of plastid targeted specific antioxidant gene products such as thylakoid-bound ascorbate peroxidase, components of the reactive oxygen species scavenging cycle, and the

Catalase-peroxidases are bifunctional enzymes that catalyze the removal of hydrogen peroxide by two distinct pathways (catalase and peroxidase). They are central to antibiotic resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and may be virulence factors in several dangerous human pathogens. These enzymes also hold much promise for engineering new enzymes to combat long-standing problems (e.g., environmental contamination by toxic pollutants). Currently, understanding of catalase-peroxidase structure and function is lacking to facilitate new drug development and enzyme engineering. The purpose of the research described in this dissertation is to understand the molecular basis for the unique catalytic abilities of catalase-peroxidases to fully capitalize on their potential. The versatile catalytic abilities of these enzymes arise from an active site that is normally restricted to one activity (i.e., peroxidase). This is facilitated by three structures which are quite distant from the active site: a ...

peroxidase and IAA oxidase activities. Protein concentration was determined by the method of Bradford (1976) using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as protein standard.. IAA oxidase assay IAA oxidase activity was measured by the spectrophotometric method described by Beffa et al. (1990). Reaction mixtures contained 0.76 ml of 50 mM phosphate buffer (KH2PO4/Na2HPO4, pH 6.0), 0.01 ml of 5 mM MnCl2, 0.01 ml of 5 mM 2,4-dichlorophenol (DCP), 0.02 ml of 14.3 mM IAA and 0.2 ml of enzyme extract. The final volume of the reaction mixtures was 1 ml. Assays were conducted at 25.0 0.5 C for 1 h. Salkowski reagent was used to determine IAA destruction at the wavelength of 535 nm after 1 h. One unit of IAA oxidase activity is equivalent to a DA535 of 1.0 for 1 mg of protein in 1 h. Each value represented the mean of three replicates..
