Oxidation-reduction properties of glycolate oxidase

This is the first report of the redox potentials of glycolate oxidase. The pH dependence of the redox behavior as well as the effects of activators and inhibitors was studied. At pH 7.1 in 10 mM imidazole-chloride, Eo1' (EF1ox/EF1-.) is -0.033 +/- 0.010 V and Eo2' (EF1-./EF1redH-) is -0.017 +/- 0.017 V vs. the standard hydrogen electrode at 10 degrees C. A maximum of 29% flavin mononucleotide (FMN) anion radical is stabilized at half-reduction at pH 7.1 and 10 degrees C. Both redox couples of glycolate oxidase are pH-dependent from pH 7 to pH 9, and the FMN anion radical is stabilized in this range. The redox potentials of glycolate oxidase are shifted markedly positive of those of unbound FMN, consistent with the enzyme's function. The midpoint potential of glycolate oxidase is more positive than that of the glyoxalate/glycolate couple, and two-electron reduction of glycolate oxidase is thermodynamically favorable. The redox behavior of glycolate oxidase markedly contrasts that of other flavoprotein oxidases. For most flavoprotein oxidases, Eo1' is independent of pH from pH 7 to pH 9 and is much more positive than Eo2', which is pH-dependent. We present a mechanism that suggests a structural basis for the positive shifts and pH dependence of both Eo1' and Eo2' of glycolate oxidase.     

PURIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF GLYCOLATE OXIDASE FROM THE BROWN ALGA SPATOGLOSSUM PACIFICISM (PHAEOPHYTA)1

Glycolate oxidase was purified to apparent homogeneity from the brown alga Spatoglossum pacificum Yendo. The 1326-fold purified glycolate oxidase enzyme exhibited a specific activity of 22. 4 micromoles glyoxylate formed ·min^?1·mg protein^?1. The molecular weight of the native enzyme was estimated to be 230,000 by gel filtration. The subunit molecular weight of the enzyme was determined to be 49,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, suggesting that the native enzyme is a tetramer. There were two absorption peaks at 345 and 445 nm, indicating that glycolate oxidase is a flavoprotein. This enzyme had a high isoelectric point (pI 9.6) and a high pH optimum (pH 8.3). The K_m values for glycolate and l -lactate were 0.49 and 5.5 mM, respectively. This enzyme also had a broad specificity for other straight-chain α-hydroxy acids but not for β-hydroxyacids. Cyanide, azide, N-ethylmaleimide, and p-chloromercuribenzoic acid did not affect the enzyme, whereas 2-pyridylhydroxymethanesulfonic acid strongly inhibited it. These properties of glycolate oxidase from the brown alga S. pacificum are similar to the properties of the glycolate oxidasesfrom higher plants. Polyclonal antibodies raised against the polypeptide fragment of Spatoglossum glycolate oxidase could recognize glycolate oxidase from Spinacia oleracea L., although the cross-reactivity was weak. The N-terminal sequence of two internal polypeptide fragments of the enzyme from S. pacificum showed a high degree of similarity to that of glycolate oxidase from higher plants. These results suggest that glycolate oxidase from higher plants and brown algae share the same ancestral protein.     

Presence of three acyl-CoA oxidases in rat liver peroxisomes. An inducible fatty acyl-CoA oxidase, a noninducible fatty acyl-CoA oxidase, and a noninducible trihydroxycoprostanoyl-CoA oxidase

Mammalian liver peroxisomes are capable of beta-oxidizing a variety of substrates including very long chain fatty acids and the side chains of the bile acid intermediates di- and trihydroxycoprostanic acid. The first enzyme of peroxisomal beta-oxidation is acyl-CoA oxidase. It remains unknown whether peroxisomes possess one or several acyl-CoA oxidases. Peroxisomal oxidases from rat liver were partially purified by (NH4)2SO4 precipitation and heat treatment, and the preparation was subjected to chromatofocusing, chromatography on hydroxylapatite and dye affinity matrices, and gel filtration. The column eluates were assayed for palmitoyl-CoA and trihydroxycoprostanoyl-CoA oxidase activities and analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The results revealed the presence of three acyl-CoA oxidases: 1) a fatty acyl-CoA oxidase with a pI of 8.3 and an apparent molecular mass of 145 kDa. The enzyme consisted mainly of 52- and 22.5-kDa subunits and could be induced by clofibrate treatment; 2) a noninducible fatty acyl-CoA oxidase with a pI of 7.1 and an apparent molecular mass of 427 kDa. It consisted mainly, if not exclusively, of one polypeptide component of 71 kDa; and 3) a noninducile trihydroxycoprostanoyl-CoA oxidase with a pI of 7.1 and an apparent molecular mass of 139 kDa. It consisted mainly, if not exclusively, of one polypeptide component of 69 kDa. Our findings are probably related to the recent discovery of two species of acyl-CoA oxidase mRNA in rat liver (Miyazawa, S., Hayashi, H., Hijikata, M., Ishii, N., Furata, S., Kagamiyama, H., Osumi, T., and Hashimoto, T. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 8131-8137) and they probably also explain why in human peroxisomal beta-oxidation defects an accumulation of very long chain fatty acids is not always accompanied by an excretion of bile acid intermediates and vice versa.     

The occurrence of glycolate dehydrogenase and glycolate oxidase in green plants: an evolutionary survey

Homogenates of various lower land plants, aquatic angiosperms, and green algae were assayed for glycolate oxidase, a peroxisomal enzyme present in green leaves of higher plants, and for glycolate dehydrogenase, a functionally analogous enzyme characteristic of certain green algae. Green tissues of all lower land plants examined (including mosses, liverworts, ferns, and fern allies), as well as three freshwater aquatic angiosperms, contained an enzyme resembling glycolate oxidase, in that it oxidized l- but not d-lactate in addition to glycolate, and was insensitive to 2 mm cyanide. Many of the green algae (including Chlorella vulgaris, previously claimed to have glycolate oxidase) contained an enzyme resembling glycolate dehydrogenase, in that it oxidized d- but not l-lactate, and was inhibited by 2 mm cyanide. Other green algae had activity characteristic of glycolate oxidase and, accordingly, showed a substantial glycolate-dependent O₂ uptake. It is pointed out that this distribution pattern of glycolate oxidase and glycolate dehydrogenase among the green plants may have phylogenetic significance.     

菠菜叶片中乙醇酸氧化酶3种同工酶的生化特性

By DEAE cellulose and Sepharose 6B chromatography, the proteins containing glycolate oxidase isozymes GOⅡ and GOⅢ were extracted from spinach green leaves. The protein containing GOⅡ showed two bands of 67±2 kD and 40±2 kD in SDS PAGE whose specific activity of glycolate oxidase was 33.4 U·mg -1 ·min -1 .It migrated towards cathode in Native PAGE in pH 8.3 buffer system. pI of GOⅡwas about 9.4 detected by IEF. The protein containing GOⅢ showed three bands of 67±2 kD, 40±2 kD and 38±2 kD in SDS PAGE whose specific activity of glycolate oxidase 14.4 U·mg -1 ·min -1 and could not migrate anywhere in the same Native PAGE. pI of GOⅢ was about 8.3 detected by IEF. The 40±2 kD might be the subunits of GOⅡ and GOⅢ. Antibodies of the protein containing GOⅡ and GOⅢ were prepared respectively. GOⅡ was very unstable and could change into GOⅢ artifact; GOⅢ was also unstable and could change into GOⅠartifact whose Mr ≈470 kD and pI ≈7.4 . This GOⅠ(specific activity: 9.8 U·mg -1 ·min -1 ), showing one 40±2 kD band in SDS PAGE, could be purified on another Sepharose 6B chromatography. The specific activity of GOⅡ decreased rapidly to about half of its original value and then was relatively stable when stored in 50% glycerol at -20℃. The results above explained why GOⅡ was extracted difficultly, and GOⅢ were easily confused with GOⅠ and GOⅡ.     

Luminometric determination of oxidase activity in peroxisomal fractions of rat liver: glycolate oxidase

The feasibility of using the H2O2-mediated chemiluminescence for determination of the activity of oxidases in peroxisomes of rat liver has been investigated. In an assay medium containing luminol, horseradish peroxidase, and azide with glycolate as substrate, a linear relationship is obtained between the amount of peroxisomal protein used and the luminescence signal. In comparison with other techniques available for measuring the activities of peroxisomal oxidases the luminometric approach described here is 5-10 times more sensitive than the spectrophotometric methods and 100 times more efficient than the polarographic determination of O2. Under the optimal assay conditions the glycolate oxidase activity can be determined in amounts as low as 0.5 micrograms peroxisomal protein.

Purification and characterization of recombinant human liver glycolate oxidase

Glycolate oxidase, an FMN-dependent peroxisomal oxidase, plays an important role in plants, related to photorespiration, and in animals, where it can contribute to the production of oxalate with formation of kidney stones. The best studied plant glycolate oxidase is that of spinach; it has been expressed as a recombinant enzyme, and its crystal structure is known. With respect to animals, the enzyme purified from pig liver has been characterized in detail in terms of activity and inhibition, the enzyme from human liver in less detail. We describe here the purification and initial characterization of the recombinant human glycolate oxidase. Its substrate specificity and the inhibitory effects of a number of anions are in agreement with the properties expected from previous work on glycolate oxidases from diverse sources. The recombinant enzyme presents an inhibition by excess glycolate and by excess DCIP, which has not been documented before. These inhibitions suggest that glycolate binds to the active site of the reduced enzyme, and that DCIP also has affinity for the oxidized enzyme. Glycolate oxidase belongs to a family of l-2-hydroxy-acid-oxidizing flavoenzymes, with strongly conserved active-site residues. A comparison of some of the present results with studies dealing with other family members suggests that residues outside the active site influence the binding of a number of ligands, in particular sulfite.     

A spectrophotometric method for the determination of glycolate in urine and plasma with glycolate oxidase

An enzymatic assay was developed for the spectrophotometric determination of glycolate in urine and plasma. Glycolate was first converted to glyoxylate with glycolate oxidase, and the glyoxylate formed was condensed with phenylhydrazine. The glyoxylate phenylhydrazone formed was then oxidized with K(3)Fe(CN)(6) in the presence of excess phenylhydrazine, and A(515) of the resulting 1, 5-diphenylformazan was measured. Since glycolate oxidase also acts on glyoxylate and L-lactate, the incubation of samples with glycolate oxidase was carried out in 120-170 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.3) to obtain glyoxylate as its adduct with Tris. The pyruvate formed from lactate was removed by subsequent brief incubation with alanine aminotransferase in the presence of L-glutamate, and alpha-ketoglutarate formed was converted back to L-glutamate by glutamate dehydrogenase and an NADPH generating system. Thus the specificity of the assay relies principally on the substrate specificity of glycolate oxidase, and high sensitivity is provided by the high absorbance of 1,5-diphenylformazan at 515-520 nm. Plasma was deproteinized with perchloric acid, and then neutralized with KOH. Plasma and urine samples were then incubated with approximately 5 mM phenylhydrazine, and then treated with stearate-deactivated activated charcoal to remove endogenous keto and aldehyde acids as their phenylhydrazones. The normal plasma glycolate and urinary glycolate/creatinine ratio for adults determined by this method are approximately 8 microM and approximately 0.036, respectively.
