Abstract: | The primary reaction product of chloroplast ascorbate peroxidaseactivity was shown to be monodehydroascorbate radical (MDA).MDA reductase (EC 1.6.5.4
EC]
) was localized in spinach chloroplaststroma. The MDA reductase activity of spinach chloroplasts,using NAD(P)H as electron donor, could account for the regenerationof ascorbate from MDA produced by ascorbate peroxidase activity.In the absence of MDA reductase, MDA disproportionated to ascorbate(AsA) and dehydroascorbate (DHA). The DHA was reduced to AsAby DHA reductase (EC 1.8.5.1
EC]
) in chloroplasts. Both NADH andNADPH served as the electron donor of partially purified MDAreductase from spinach leaves. (Received September 24, 1983; Accepted January 23, 1984) |
