本文在裂叶悬钩子的叶外植体培养不定芽发生的基础上,利用圆盘聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳技术,研究了其细胞分化过程中过氧化物酶同工酶的变化。实验指出:在有6-BA或2.4-D与NAA组合的培养条件下,随着培养时间和分化进程不同,过氧化物酶同工酶有变化,谱带由4条增加到8条,酶的活力分别由△0.24 OD/min提高到△1.82OD/min和△1.90 OD/min。在无外源激素条件下,过氧化物酶同工酶的变化不大,酶的活力也低,因而,叶外植体组织细胞也不能分化成植株。本文还从分子水平上探讨了酶和基因与细胞分化的关系。

Molecular systematics of Clerodendrum (Lamiaceae): ITS sequences and total evidence

Thirty-three species of Clerodendrum s.l. and five outgroup genera were included in a sequence analysis of internal transcribed spacers of the nuclear ribosomal DNA. The results of the cladistic analysis were compared to and combined with cpDNA restriction site data from a previous study. All molecular data identified four major clades within Clerodendrum s.l. and showed the genus to be polyphyletic. Clerodendrum s.s., minus Konocalyx and Cyclonema, is monophyletic and the genus should be restricted to this group. Cyclonema and Konocalyx form a clade distinct from Clerodendrum s.s., which has been recognized as Rotheca Raf.     

A kinetic analysis of the catalase activity of myeloperoxidase

The predominant physiological activity of myeloperoxidase is to convert hydrogen peroxide and chloride to hypochlorous acid. However, this neutrophil enzyme also degrades hydrogen peroxide to oxygen and water. We have undertaken a kinetic analysis of this reaction to clarify its mechanism. When myeloperoxidase was added to hydrogen peroxide in the absence of reducing substrates, there was an initial burst phase of hydrogen peroxide consumption followed by a slow steady state loss. The kinetics of hydrogen peroxide loss were precisely mirrored by the kinetics of oxygen production. Two mols of hydrogen peroxide gave rise to 1 mol of oxygen. With 100 microM hydrogen peroxide and 6 mM chloride, half of the hydrogen peroxide was converted to hypochlorous acid and the remainder to oxygen. Superoxide and tyrosine enhanced the steady-state loss of hydrogen peroxide in the absence of chloride. We propose that hydrogen peroxide reacts with the ferric enzyme to form compound I, which in turn reacts with another molecule of hydrogen peroxide to regenerate the native enzyme and liberate oxygen. The rate constant for the two-electron reduction of compound I by hydrogen peroxide was determined to be 2 x 10(6) M(-1) s(-1). The burst phase occurs because hydrogen peroxide and endogenous donors are able to slowly reduce compound I to compound II, which accumulates and retards the loss of hydrogen peroxide. Superoxide and tyrosine drive the catalase activity because they reduce compound II back to the native enzyme. The two-electron oxidation of hydrogen peroxide by compound I should be considered when interpreting mechanistic studies of myeloperoxidase and may influence the physiological activity of the enzyme.     

Titration study of guaiacol oxidation by horseradish peroxidase.

Titration of guaiacol by hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a catalytic amount of horseradish peroxidase shows that the reduction of hydrogen peroxide proceeds by the abstraction of two electrons from a guaiacol molecule. In the same way, it can be demonstrated that 0.5 mol of guaiacol can reduce, at low temperature, 1 mol of peroxidase compound I to compound II. Moreover, the reaction between equal amounts of compound I and guaiacol at low temperature produces the native enzyme. A reaction scheme is proposed which postulates that two electrons are transferred from guaiacol to compound I giving ferriperoxidase and oxidized guaiacol with the intermediary formation of compound II. The direct two-electron transfer from guaiacol to compound I without a dismutation of product free radicals must be considered as an exception to the general mechanism involving a single-electron transfer.     

Effect of distal cavity mutations on the formation of compound I in catalase-peroxidases

Catalase-peroxidases have a predominant catalase activity but differ from monofunctional catalases in exhibiting a substantial peroxidase activity and in having different residues in the heme cavity. We present a kinetic study of the formation of the key intermediate compound I by probing the role of the conserved distal amino acid triad Arg-Trp-His of a recombinant catalase-peroxidase in its reaction with hydrogen peroxide, peroxoacetic acid, and m-chloroperbenzoic acid. Both the wild-type enzyme and six mutants (R119A, R119N, W122F, W122A, H123Q, H123E) have been investigated by steady-state and stopped-flow spectroscopy. The turnover number of catalase activity of R119A is 14.6%, R119N 0.5%, H123E 0.03%, and H123Q 0.02% of wild-type activity. Interestingly, W122F and W122A completely lost their catalase activity but retained their peroxidase activity. Bimolecular rate constants of compound I formation of the wild-type enzyme and the mutants have been determined. The Trp-122 mutants for the first time made it possible to follow the transition of the ferric enzyme to compound I by hydrogen peroxide spectroscopically underlining the important role of Trp-122 in catalase activity. The results demonstrate that the role of the distal His-Arg pair in catalase-peroxidases is important in the heterolytic cleavage of hydrogen peroxide (i.e. compound I formation), whereas the distal tryptophan is essential for compound I reduction by hydrogen peroxide.     

Electron paramagnetic resonance and spectrophotometric studies of the peroxide compounds of manganese-substituted horseradish peroxidase, cytochrome-c peroxidase and manganese-porphyrin model complexes

Peroxide compounds of manganese protoporphyrin IX and its complexes with apo-horseradish peroxidase and apocytochrome-c peroxidase were characterized by electronic absorption and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopies. An intermediate formed upon titration of Mn(III)-horseradish peroxidase with hydrogen peroxide exhibited a new electron paramagnetic resonance absorption at g = 5.23 with a definite six-lined 55Mn hyperfine (AMn = 8.2 mT). Neither a porphyrin pi-cation radical nor any other radical in the apoprotein moiety could be observed. The reduced form of Mn-horseradish peroxidase, Mn(II)-horseradish peroxidase, reacted with a stoichiometric amount of hydrogen peroxide to form a peroxide compound whose electronic absorption spectrum was identical with that formed from Mn(III)-horseradish peroxidase. The electronic state of the peroxide compound of manganese horseradish peroxidase was thus concluded to be Mn(IV), S = 3/2. Mn(III)-cytochrome-c peroxidase reacted with stoichiometry quantities of hydrogen peroxide to form a catalytically active intermediate. The electronic absorption spectrum was very similar to that of a higher oxidation state of manganese porphyrin, Mn(V). Since the peroxide compound of manganese cytochrome-c peroxidase retained two oxidizing equivalents per mol of the enzyme (Yonetani, T. and Asakura, T. (1969) J. Biol. Chem. 244, 4580-4588), this peroxide compound might contain an Mn(V) center.     

Effect of alpha-tocopherol and N-acetylcysteine on benzoyl peroxide toxicity in human keratinocytes

Benzoyl peroxide is a free-radical generating compound widely used in the polymer industry and also in pharmaceuticals as antimicrobial agent to treat acne. However, benzoyl peroxide causes irritation and contact dermatitis in about 1% of patients. Concern over the use of this compound is motivated by the demonstration that it can also act as skin tumor promoter in mice. In addition, benzoyl peroxide induces DNA strand breaks in many cells, including keratinocytes. Benzoyl peroxide toxicity is presumably mediated by the formation of reactive free radicals and by the consumption of intracellular antioxidants.In this work we investigated the effect of both the lipophilic antioxidant alpha-tocopherol and the hydrophilic thiol donor N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in human keratinocyte line HaCaT exposed to benzoyl peroxide. A protective effect against benzoyl peroxide cytotoxicity was achieved when cells were grown on a alpha-tocopherol layer. On the contrary, the addition of alpha-tocopherol dissolved in ethanol had a pro-oxidant effect, leading to an enhancement of benzoyl peroxide toxicity. Cytotoxicity was also reduced adding NAC to the culture medium; the presence of both NAC and alpha-tocopherol exerts a synergistic cytoprotection.

The crystal structure of peroxymyoglobin generated through cryoradiolytic reduction of myoglobin compound III during data collection

Myoglobin has the ability to react with hydrogen peroxide, generating high-valent complexes similar to peroxidases (compounds I and II), and in the presence of excess hydrogen peroxide a third intermediate, compound III, with an oxymyoglobin-type structure is generated from compound II. The compound III is, however, easily one-electron reduced to peroxymyoglobin by synchrotron radiation during crystallographic data collection. We have generated and solved the 1.30 A (1 A=0.1 nm) resolution crystal structure of the peroxymyoglobin intermediate, which is isoelectric to compound 0 and has a Fe-O distance of 1.8 A and O-O bond of 1.3 A in accordance with a Fe(II)-O-O- (or Fe(III)-O-O2-) structure. The generation of the peroxy intermediate through reduction of compound III by X-rays shows the importance of using single-crystal microspectrophotometry when doing crystallography on metalloproteins. After having collected crystallographic data on a peroxy-generated myoglobin crystal, we were able (by a short annealing) to break the O-O bond leading to formation of compound II. These results indicate that the cryoradiolytic-generated peroxymyoglobin is biologically relevant through its conversion into compound II upon heating. Additionally, we have observed that the Xe1 site is occupied by a water molecule, which might be the leaving group in the compound II to compound III reaction.
