Structure of the horseradish peroxidase isozyme C genes

We have isolated, cloned and characterized three cDNAs and two genomic DNAs corresponding to the mRNAs and genes for the horseradish (Armoracia rusticana) peroxidase isoenzyme C (HPR C). The amino acid sequence of HRP C1, deduced from the nucleotide sequence of one of the cDNA clone, pSK1, contained the same primary sequence as that of the purified enzyme established by Welinder [FEBS Lett. 72, 19-23 (1976)] with additional sequences at the N and C terminal. All three inserts in the cDNA clones, pSK1, pSK2 and pSK3, coded the same size of peptide (308 amino acid residues) if these are processed in the same way, and the amino acid sequence were homologous to each other by 91-94%. Functional amino acids, including His40, His170, Tyr185 and Arg183 and S-S-bond-forming Cys, were conserved in the three isozymes, but a few N-glycosylation sites were not the same. Two HRP C isoenzyme genomic genes, prxC1 and prxC2, were tandem on the chromosomal DNA and each gene consisted of four exons and three introns. The positions in the exons interrupted by introns were the same in two genes. We observed a putative promoter sequence 5' upstream and a poly(A) signal 3' downstream in both genes. The gene product of prxC1 might be processed with a signal sequence of 30 amino acid residues at the N terminus and a peptide consisting of 15 amino acid residues at the C terminus.     

The cDNA sequence of a neutral horseradish peroxidase

A cDNA clone encoding a horseradish (Armoracia rusticana) peroxidase has been isolated and characterized. The cDNA contains 1378 nucleotides excluding the poly(A) tail and the deduced protein contains 327 amino acids which includes a 28 amino acid leader sequence. The predicted amino acid sequence is nine amino acids shorter than the major isoenzyme belonging to the horseradish peroxidase C group (HRP-C) and the sequence shows 53.7% identity with this isoenzyme. The described clone encodes nine cysteines of which eight correspond well with the cysteines found in HRP-C. Five potential N-glycosylation sites with the general sequence Asn-X-Thr/Ser are present in the deduced sequence. Compared to the earlier described HRP-C this is three glycosylation sites less. The shorter sequence and fewer N-glycosylation sites give the native isoenzyme a molecular weight of several thousands less than the horseradish peroxidase C isoenzymes. Comparison with the net charge value of HRP-C indicates that the described cDNA clone encodes a peroxidase which has either the same or a slightly less basic pI value, depending on whether the encoded protein is N-terminally blocked or not. This excludes the possibility that HRP-n could belong to either the HRP-A, -D or -E groups. The low sequence identity (53.7%) with HRP-C indicates that the described clone does not belong to the HRP-C isoenzyme group and comparison of the total amino acid composition with the HRP-B group does not place the described clone within this isoenzyme group. Our conclusion is that the described cDNA clone encodes a neutral horseradish peroxidase which belongs to a new, not earlier described, horseradish peroxidase group.     

Heterologous Expression,Purification and Characterization of a Peroxidase Isolated from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Lepidium draba</Emphasis>

Peroxidase is one of the most widely used enzymes in biotechnology and medicine. In the current study, cDNA encoding peroxidase from Lepidium draba (LDP) was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) cells in the form of inclusion bodies (IBs). To achieve purified active enzyme, IBs were solubilized before being purified and refolded. The deduced amino acid sequence (308) of the LDP gene (924 bp) revealed 88.96% identity to horseradish peroxidase C1A (HRP C1A). The results of basic local alignment search tool (BLAST) and phylogenetic analysis of the protein sequence showed that this enzyme belongs to the neutral group of class III plant peroxidases. According to sequence analysis and structural modeling, critical amino acids in heme and calcium binding domain as well as cysteine residues were conserved as HRP C1A except for calcium binding domain where valine228 was replaced with isoleucine. The far-UV circular dichroism (CD) results were confirmed by homology modeling data showing the enzyme consists mainly of α-helices as other plant peroxidases. Overall, according to the results of catalytic activity and refolding yield, LDP can be introduced as a novel peroxidase for medical and biotechnology applications.     

Cloning and sequencing of a cDNA encoding ascorbate peroxidase fromArabidopsis thaliana

A cDNA clone encoding ascorbate peroxidase (AP, EC 1.11.1.11) was isolated from a phage gt11 library of cDNA fromArabidopsis thaliana by immunoscreening with monoclonal antibodies against the enzyme, and then sequenced. The cDNA insert hybridized to a 1.1 kb poly(A)⁺ RNA from leaves ofA thaliana. Genomic hybridization suggests that the cDNA obtained here corresponds to a single-copy gene. The N-terminal amino acid sequence ofArabidopsis AP was determined by protein sequencing of the immunochemically purified enzyme, and proved to be homologous to the N-terminal amino acid sequence of the chloroplastic AP of spinach. The predicted amino acid sequence of the mature AP ofA. thaliana, deduced from the nucleotide sequence, consists of 249 amino acid residues, which is 34% homologous with cytochromec peroxidase of yeast, but less homologous with other plant peroxidases. Amino acid residues at the active site of yeast cytochromec peroxidase are conserved in the amino acid sequence ofArabidopsis AP. The poly(dG-dT) sequence, which is a potential Z-DNA-forming sequence, was found in the 3 untranslated region of the cDNA.     

Isolation and sequencing of cDNA clones encoding ethylene-induced putative peroxidases from cucumber cotyledons

A cDNA library from ethephon-treated cucumber cotyledons (Cucumis sativus L. cv. Poinsett 76) was constructed. Two cDNA clones encoding putative peroxidases were isolated by means of a synthetic probe based on a partial amino acid sequence of a 33 kDa cationic peroxidase that had been previously shown to be induced by ethylene. DNA sequencing indicates that the two clones were derived from two closely related RNA species that are related to published plant peroxidase sequences. Southern analysis indicates that there are 1–5 copies in a haploid genome of a gene homologous to the cDNA clones. The deduced amino acid sequences are homologous with a tobacco (55% sequence identity), a horseradish (53%), a turnip (45%), and a potato (41%) peroxidase. The cloned sequences do not encode the 33 kDa peroxidase from which the original synthetic probe was been derived, but rather other putative peroxidases. An increase in the level of mRNA is evident by 3 hours after ethephon or ethylene treatment and plateaus by 15 hours.     

Molecular characterization and physiological role of ascorbate peroxidase from halotolerant Chlamydomonas sp. W80 strain

A cDNA clone encoding an ascorbate peroxidase was isolated from the cDNA library from halotolerant Chlamydomonas W80 by a simple screening method based on the bacterial expression system. The cDNA clone contained an open reading frame encoding a mature protein of 282 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 30,031 Da, preceded by the chloroplast transit peptide consisting of 37 amino acids. In fact, ascorbate peroxidase was localized in the chloroplasts of Chlamydomonas W80 cells; the activity was detected in the stromal fraction but not in the thylakoid membrane. The deduced amino acid sequence of the cDNA showed 54 and 49% homology to chloroplastic and cytosolic ascorbate peroxidase isoenzymes of spinach leaves, respectively. The enzyme from Chlamydomonas W80 cells was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity. The molecular properties of the purified enzyme were similar to those of the other algal ascorbate peroxidases rather than those of ascorbate peroxidases from higher plants. The enzyme was relatively stable in ascorbate-depleted medium compared with the chloroplastic ascorbate peroxidase isoenzymes of higher plants. The presence of NaCl (3%) as well as of beta-d-thiogalactopyranoside was needed for the expression of Chlamydomonas W80 ascorbate peroxidase in Escherichia coli.     

Correction of the cDNA-derived protein sequence of prostatic spermine binding protein: pivotal role of tandem mass spectrometry in sequence analysis

Spermine binding protein (SBP) is a rat ventral prostate protein that binds various polyamines, and the level of this protein and its mRNA is regulated by androgens. Previously, the cDNA for SBP was cloned and sequenced and an amino acid sequence deduced from the cDNA. Data from cloned and sequenced and an amino acid sequence deduced from the cDNA. Data from partial amino acid sequencing of the purified protein were consistent with the amino acid sequence deduced from the cDNA. However, the amino terminus of the protein was blocked, and therefore, direct protein sequence information confirming the cDNA reading frame of this region could not be obtained by Edman degradation. We have now employed an integrated approach using fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry, tandem mass spectrometry, and conventional sequencing methodologies to establish the amino-terminal sequence of the protein and to identify an amino acid sequence (35 residues) present in the purified protein but missing from the amino acid sequence deduced from cDNA clones for this protein. The missing piece of cDNA corresponds to an exon found in mouse genomic clones for a protein similar to rat SBP. Therefore, the cDNA clones for rat SBP may represent splicing variants that lack the sequence information of one exon. The blocked amino terminus of the protein was identified as 5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid. Mass spectrometry also provided evidence regarding glycosylation of the protein. The first of two potential glycosylation sites clearly carries carbohydrate; the second site is, at most, only partially glycosylated.
