The wood-destroying fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium secretes extracellular enzymes known as lignin peroxidases that are involved in the biodegradation of lignin and a number of environmental pollutants. Several lignin peroxidases are produced in liquid cultures of this fungus. However, only lignin peroxidase isozyme H8 has been extensively characterized. In agitated nutrient nitrogen-limited culture, P. chrysosporium produces two lignin peroxidases in about equal proportions. The molecular weights of these two major proteins (H2 and H8) as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were 38,500 (H2) and 42,000 (H8). The isoelectric points of these enzymes were 4.3 for H2 and 3.65 for H8. All subsequent experiments in this study were performed with H2 as it contributed the most (42%) to total activity and had the highest specific activity (57.3 U/mg). The Km values of lignin peroxidase H2 for H2O2 and veratryl alcohol were calculated to be 47 microM and 167 microM at pH 3.5, respectively. The pH optima for veratryl alcohol oxidase activity were pH 2.5 at 25 degrees C, pH 3.0 at 35 degrees C, and pH 3.5 at 45 degrees C. In the same manner the temperature optimum shifted from 25 degrees C at pH 2.5 to 45 degrees C at pH 3.5 and approximately 45-60 degrees C at pH 4.5. During storage the resting enzyme was relatively stable for 48 h up to 50 degrees C. Above this temperature the enzyme lost all activity within 6 h at 60 degrees C. At 70 degrees C all activity was lost within 10 min. The resting enzyme retained approximately 80% of its initial activity when stored at 40 degrees C for 21 h at a pH range of 4.0-6.5. Above pH 7.5 and below 4.0, the enzyme lost all activity in less than 5 h. During turnover the enzyme remained active at pH 5.5 for over 2 h whereas the enzyme activity was lost after 45 min at pH 2.5. The oxidation of veratryl alcohol was inhibited by EDTA, azide, cyanide, and by the catalase inhibitor 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole, but not by chloride. In the absence of another reducing substrate incubation of lignin peroxidase H2 with excess H2O2 resulted in partial and irreversible inactivation of the enzyme. The spectral characteristics of lignin peroxidase H2 are similar to those of other peroxidases. The suitability of lignin peroxidases for industrial applications is discussed. 相似文献

Catalase-peroxidases (KatGs) are multifunctional heme peroxidases exhibiting an overwhelming catalase activity and a substantial peroxidase activity of broad specificity. Here, we show that catalase-peroxidases are also haloperoxidases capable of oxidizing chloride, bromide, and iodide in a peroxide- and enzyme-dependent manner. Recombinant KatG and the variants R119A, W122F, and W122A from the cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC 6803 have been tested for their halogenation activity. Halogenation of monochlorodimedon (MCD), formation of triiodide and tribromide, and bromide- and chloride-mediated oxidation of glutathione have been tested. Halogenation of MCD by chloride, bromide, and iodide was shown to be catalyzed by wild-type KatG and the variant R119A. Generally, rates of halogenation increased in the order Cl(-) < Br(-) < I(-) and/or by decreasing pH. The halogenation activity of R119A was about 7-9% that of the wild-type enzyme. Upon exchange of the distal Trp122 by Phe and Ala, both the catalase and halogenation activities were lost but the overall peroxidase activity was increased. The findings suggest that the same redox intermediate is involved in H(2)O(2) and halide oxidation and that distal Trp122 is involved in both two-electron reactions. That halides compete with H(2)O(2) for the same redox intermediate is also emphasized by the fact that the polarographically measured catalase activity is influenced by halides, with bromide being more effective than chloride. 相似文献

Engineering of a manganese-binding site in lignin peroxidase isozyme H8 from Phanerochaete chrysosporium 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A Mn(2+)-binding site was created in the recombinant lignin peroxidase isozyme H8 from Phanerochaete chrysosporium. In fungal Mn peroxidase, the Mn-binding site is composed of Glu35, Glu39, and Asp179. We generated a similar site in lignin peroxidase by generating an anionic binding site. We generated three mutations: Asn182Asp, Asp183Lys, and Ala36Glu. Its activity, veratryl alcohol, and Mn(2+) oxidation were compared to those of native recombinant enzyme and to fungal Mn peroxidase isozyme H4, respectively. The mutated enzyme was able to oxidize Mn(2+) and still retain its ability to oxidize veratryl alcohol. Steady-state results indicate that the enzyme's ability to oxidize veratryl alcohol was lowered slightly. The K(m) for Mn(2+) was determined to be 1.57 mM and the k(cat) = 5.45 s(-1). These results indicate that the mutated lignin peroxidase is less effective in Mn(2+) oxidation that the wild type fungal enzyme. The pH optima of veratryl alcohol and Mn oxidation were altered by the mutation. They are one unit of pH value higher than those of recombinant H8 and wild type fungal Mn peroxidase isozyme H4. 相似文献

Manganese peroxidase and lignin peroxidase are ligninolytic heme-containing enzymes secreted by the white-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium. Despite structural similarity, these peroxidases oxidize different substrates. Veratryl alcohol is a typical substrate for lignin peroxidase, while manganese peroxidase oxidizes chelated Mn2+. By a single mutation, S168W, we have added veratryl alcohol oxidase activity to recombinant manganese peroxidase expressed in Escherichia coli. The kcat for veratryl alcohol oxidation was 11 s-1, Km for veratryl alcohol approximately 0.49 mM, and Km for hydrogen peroxide approximately 25 microM at pH 2.3. The Km for veratryl alcohol was higher and Km for hydrogen peroxide was lower for this manganese peroxidase mutant compared to two recombinant lignin peroxidase isoenzymes. The mutant retained full manganese peroxidase activity and the kcat was approximately 2.6 x 10(2) s-1 at pH 4.3. Consistent with relative activities with respect to these substrates, Mn2+ strongly inhibited veratryl alcohol oxidation. The single productive mutation in manganese peroxidase suggested that this surface tryptophan residue (W171) in lignin peroxidase is involved in catalysis. 相似文献

Lignin peroxidase of Phanerochaete chrysosporium. Evidence for an acidic ionization controlling activity 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The active site amino acid residues of lignin peroxidase are homologous to those of other peroxidases; however, in contrast to other peroxidases, no pH dependence is observed for the reaction of ferric lignin peroxidase with H2O2 to form compound I (Andrawis, A., Johnson, K.A., and Tien, M. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 1195-1198). Chloride binding is used in the present study to investigate this reaction further. Chloride binds to lignin peroxidase at the same site as cyanide and hydrogen peroxide. This is indicated by the following. 1) Chloride competes with cyanide in binding to lignin peroxidase. 2) Chloride is a competitive inhibitor of lignin peroxidase with respect to H2O2. The inhibition constant (Ki) is equal to the dissociation constant (Kd) of chloride at all pH values studied. Chloride binding is pH dependent: chloride binds only to the protonated form of lignin peroxidase. Transient-state kinetic studies demonstrate that chloride inhibits lignin peroxidase compound I formation in a pH-dependent manner with maximum inhibition at low pH. An apparent pKa was calculated at each chloride concentration; the pKa increased as the chloride concentration increased. Extrapolation to zero chloride concentration allowed us to estimate the intrinsic pKa for the ionization in the lignin peroxidase active site. The results reported here provide evidence that an acidic ionizable group (pKa approximately 1) at the active site controls both lignin peroxidase compound I formation and chloride binding. We propose that the mechanism for lignin peroxidase compound I formation is similar to that of other peroxidases in that it requires the deprotonated form of an ionizable group near the active site. 相似文献

Oxidation-reduction potentials and ionization states of extracellular peroxidases from the lignin-degrading fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The oxidation-reduction potentials of lignin peroxidase isozymes H1, H2, H8, and H10 as well as the Mn-dependent peroxidase isozymes H3 and H4 are reported. The potentiometric titrations involving the ferrous and ferric states of the enzyme had Nernst plots indicating single-electron transfer. The Em7 values of lignin peroxidase isozymes H1, H2, H8, and H10 are -142, -135, -137, and -127 mV versus standard hydrogen electrode, respectively. The Em7 values for the Mn-dependent peroxidase isozymes H3 and H4 are -88 and -93 mV versus standard hydrogen electrode, respectively. The midpoint potential of H1, H8, and H4 remained unchanged in the presence of their respective substrates, veratryl alcohol and Mn(II). The midpoint potential between the ferric and ferrous forms of isozymes H1 and H4 exhibited a pH-dependent change between pH 3.5 and pH 6.5. These results indicate that the reductive half-reaction of the enzymes is the following: ferric peroxidase + le- + H+----ferrous peroxidase. Above pH 6.5, the effect of pH on the midpoint potential is diminished and indicates that an ionization with an apparent pKa equal to approximately 6.6-6.7 occurs in the reduced form of the enzymes. A heme-linked ionization group in the ferrous form of the enzymes was confirmed by studying the effect of pH on the absorption spectra of isozymes H1 and H4. These spectrophotometric pH titration experiments confirmed the electrochemical results indicating pKa values of 6.59 and 6.69 for reduced isozymes H1 and H4, respectively. These results indicate the presence of a heme-linked ionization of an amino acid in the reduced form of the lignin peroxidase isozymes similar to that of other plant peroxidases. 相似文献

Peroxiredoxins are antioxidant enzymes whose peroxidase activity depends on a redox-sensitive cysteine residue at the active center. In this study we investigated properties of the active center cysteine of bovine 1-Cys peroxiredoxin using a recombinant protein (BRPrx). The only cysteine residue of the BRPrx molecule was oxidized rapidly by an equimolar peroxide or peroxynitrite to the cysteine sulfenic acid. Approximate rates of oxidation of BRPrx by different peroxides were estimated using selenium glutathione peroxidase as a competitor. Oxidation of the active center cysteine of BRPrx by H2O2 proceeded only several times slowly than that of the selenocysteine of glutathione peroxidase. The rate of oxidation varied depending on peroxides tested, with H2O2 being about 7 and 80 times faster than tert-butyl hydroperoxide and cumene hydroperoxide, respectively. Peroxynitrite oxidized BRPrx slower than H2O2 but faster than tert-butyl hydroperoxide. Further oxidation of the cysteine sulfenic acid of BRPrx to higher oxidation states proceeded slowly. Oxidized BRPrx was reduced by dithiothreitol, dihydrolipoic acid, and hydrogen sulfide, and demonstrated peroxidase activity (about 30 nmol/mg/min) with these reductants as electron donors. beta-Mercaptoethanol formed a mixed disulfide and did not support peroxidase activity. Oxidized BRPrx did not react with glutathione, cysteine, homocysteine, N-acetyl-cysteine, and mercaptosuccinic acid. 相似文献

The present study maps the active site of lignin peroxidase in respect to substrate size using either fungal or recombinant wild type, as well as mutated, recombinant lignin peroxidases. A nonphenolic tetrameric lignin model was synthesized that contains beta-O-4 linkages. The fungal and recombinant wild type lignin peroxidase both oxidized the tetrameric model forming four products. The four products were identified by mass spectral analyses and compared with synthetic standards. They were identified as tetrameric, trimeric, dimeric, and monomeric carbonyl compounds. All four of these products were also formed from single turnover experiments. This indicates that lignin peroxidase is able to attack any of the C(alpha)-C(beta) linkages in the tetrameric compound and that the substrate-binding site is well exposed. Mutation of the recombinant lignin peroxidase (isozyme H8) in the heme access channel, which is relatively restricted and was previously proposed to be the veratryl alcohol-binding site (E146S), had little effect on the oxidation of the tetramer. In contrast, mutation of a Trp residue (W171S) in the alternate proposed substrate-binding site completely inhibited the oxidation of the tetrameric model. These results are consistent with lignin peroxidase having an exposed active site capable of directly interacting with the lignin polymer without the advent of low molecular weight mediators. 相似文献

Recombinant Phanerochaete chrysosporium lignin peroxidase isozyme H2 (pI 4.4) was produced in insect cells infected with a genetically engineered baculovirus containing a copy of the cDNA clone lambda ML-6. The recombinant enzyme was purified to near homogeneity and is capable of oxidizing veratryl alcohol, iodide, and, to a lesser extent, guaiacol. The Km of the recombinant enzyme for veratryl alcohol and H2O2 is similar to that of the fungal enzyme. The guaiacol oxidation activity or any other activity is not dependent upon Mn2+. The purified recombinant peroxidase is glycosylated with N-linked carbohydrate(s). The recombinant lignin peroxidase eluted from an anion exchange resin similar to that of native isozyme H1 rather than H2. However, the pI of the recombinant enzymes is different from both H1 and H2 isozymes. Further characterization of native isozymes H1 and H2 from the fungal cultures revealed identical N-terminus residues. This indicates that isozymes H1 and H2 differ in post-translational modification. 相似文献

Phosphorylation of lignin peroxidases from Phanerochaete chrysosporium. Identification of mannose 6-phosphate 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Many of the extracellular lignin-degrading peroxidases from the wood-degrading fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium are phosphorylated. Immunoprecipitation of the extracellular fluid of cultures grown with H2K32PO4 with a polyclonal antibody raised against one of the lignin peroxidase isozymes, H8 (pI 3.5), revealed the incorporation of H2K32PO4 into lignin peroxidases. Analyses of the purified isozymes from labeled cultures by isoelectric focusing showed that, in addition to isozyme H8, lignin peroxidase isozymes H2 (pI 4.4), H6 (pI 3.7), and H10 (pI 3.3) are also phosphorylated. These analyses also showed that lignin peroxidase isozyme H1 (pI 4.7) and manganese-dependent peroxidase isozymes H3 (pI 4.9) and H4 (pI 4.5) are not phosphorylated. Phosphate quantitation indicated the presence of one molecule of phosphate/molecule of enzyme for all of the phosphorylated isozymes. To locate the site of phosphorylation, one-dimensional phosphoamino acid analysis was performed with hydrolyzed 32P-protein. However, phosphotyrosine, phosphoserine, and phosphothreonine could not be identified. Coupled enzyme assays of acid hydrolysate indicated the presence of mannose 6-phosphate as the phosphorylated component on the lignin peroxidase isozymes. Digestion of the isozymes with N-glycanase released the phosphate component, indicating that the mannose 6-phosphate is contained on an asparagine-linked oligosaccharide. 相似文献

Because there is some controversy concerning the ligninolytic enzymes produced by Pleurotus species, ethylene release from alpha-keto-gamma-thiomethylbutyric acid (KTBA), as described previously for Phanerochaete chrysosporium lignin peroxidase (LiP), was used to assess the oxidative power of Pleurotus eryngii cultures and extracellular proteins. Lignin model dimers were used to confirm the ligninolytic capabilities of enzymes isolated from liquid and solid-state fermentation (SSF) cultures. Three proteins that oxidized KTBA in the presence of veratryl alcohol and H2O2 were identified (two proteins were found in liquid cultures, and one protein was found in SSF cultures). These proteins are versatile peroxidases that act on Mn2+, as well as on simple phenols and veratryl alcohol. The two peroxidases obtained from the liquid culture were able to degrade a nonphenolic beta-O-4 dimer, yielding veratraldehyde, as well as a phenolic dimer which is not efficiently oxidized by P. chrysosporium peroxidases. The former reaction is characteristic of LiP. The third KTBA-oxidizing peroxidase oxidized only the phenolic dimer (in the presence of Mn2+). Finally, a fourth Mn2+-oxidizing peroxidase was identified in the SSF cultures on the basis of its ability to oxidize KTBA in the presence of Mn2+. This enzyme is related to the Mn-dependent peroxidase of P. chrysosporium because it did not exhibit activity with veratryl alcohol and Mn-independent activity with dimers. These results show that P. eryngii produces three types of peroxidases that have the ability to oxidize lignin but lacks a typical LiP. Similar enzymes (in terms of N-terminal sequence and catalytic properties) are produced by other Pleurotus species. Some structural aspects of P. eryngii peroxidases related to the catalytic properties are discussed. 相似文献

The oxycomplexes (compound III, oxyperoxidase) of two lignin peroxidase isozymes, H1 (pI = 4.7) and H8 (pI = 3.5), were characterized in the present study. After generation of the ferroperoxidase by photochemical reduction with deazoflavin in the presence of EDTA, the oxycomplex is formed by mixing ferroperoxidase with O2. The oxycomplex of isozyme H8 is very stable, with an autoxidation rate at 25 degrees C too slow to measure at pH 3.5 or 7.0. In contrast, the oxycomplex of isozyme H1 has a half-life of 52 min at pH 4.5 and 29 min at pH 7.5 at 25 degrees C. The decay of isozyme H1 oxycomplex follows a single exponential. The half-lives of lignin peroxidase oxycomplexes are much longer than those observed with other peroxidases. The binding of O2 to ferroperoxidase to form the oxycomplex was studied by stopped-flow methods. At 20 degrees C, the second-order rate constants for O2 binding are 2.3 X 10(5) and 8.9 X 10(5) M-1 s-1 for isozyme H1 and 6.2 X 10(4) and 3.5 X 10(5) M-1 s-1 for isozyme H8 at pH 3.6 and pH 6.8, respectively. The dissociation rate constants for the oxycomplex of isozyme H1 (3.8 Z 10(-3) s-1) and isozyme H8 (1.0 X 10(-3) s-1) were measured at pH 3.6 by CO trapping. Thus, the equilibrium constants (K, calculated from kon/koff) for both isozymes H1 (7.0 X 10(7) M-1) and H8 (6.2 X 10(7) M-1) are higher than that of myoglobin (1.9 Z 10(6) M-1).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The basidiomycete Pleurotus sajor-caju mineralizes ring-14C-labelled lignin (dehydrogenative polymer) when grown in mycological broth. Under these conditions, two veratryl alcohol oxidase (VAO) enzymes were found in the culture medium. They oxidized a number of aromatic alcohols to aldehydes and reduced O2 to H2O2. The enzymes were purified by ion-exchange and gel-permeation chromatography. The final step of purification on Mono Q resolved the activity into two peaks (VAO I and VAO II). Both enzymes had the same Mr, approx. 71,000, but their isoelectric points differed slightly, 3.8 for VAO I and 4.0 for VAO II. Their amino acid compositions were similar except for aspartic acid/asparagine and glycine. Both enzymes are glycoproteins and contain flavin prosthetic groups. Their pH optima were around 5, and kinetic constants and specificities were similar. 4-Methoxybenzyl alcohol was oxidized the most rapidly, followed by veratryl alcohol. Not all aromatic alcohols were oxidized, neither were non-aromatic alcohols. Cinnamyl alcohol was oxidized at the gamma position. The VAO enzymes thus represent a significantly different route for veratryl alcohol oxidation from that catalysed by the previously found lignin peroxidases from Phanerochaete chrysosporium. The role of the oxidases in biodegradation might be to produce H2O2 during oxidation of lignin fragments. 相似文献

Evidence for singlet oxygen formation has been obtained for the lactoperoxidase, H2O2 and bromide system by monitoring 2,3-diphenylfuran and diphenylisobenzofuran oxidation, O2 evolution, and chemiluminescence. This could provide an explanation for the cytotoxic and microbicidal activity of peroxidases and polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Evidence for singlet oxygen formation included the following. (a) Chemiluminescence accompanying the enzymic reaction was doubled in a deuterated buffer and inhibited by singlet oxygen traps. (b) The singlet oxygen traps, diphenylfuran and diphenylisobenzofuran, were oxidized to their known singlet oxygen oxidation products in the presence of lactoperoxidase, hydrogen peroxide and bromide. (c) The rate of oxidation of diphenylfuran and diphenylisobenzofuran was inhibited when monitored in the presence of known singlet oxygen traps or quenchers. (d) Oxygen evolution from the enzymic reaction was inhibited by singlet oxygen traps but not by singlet oxygen quenchers. (e) The traps or quenchers which were effective inhibitors in the experiments above did not inhibit peroxidase activity, were not competitive peroxidase substrates and did not react with the hypobromite intermediate since they did not inhibit hydrogen peroxide consumption by the enzyme. Using these criteria, various biological molecules were tested for their reactivity with singlet oxygen. Furthermore, by studying their effect on oxygen release by the enzymic reaction, it could be ascertained whether they were acting as singlet oxygen traps or quenchers. 相似文献

Lignin and Mn peroxidases are two families of isozymes produced by the lignin-degrading fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium under nutrient nitrogen or carbon limitation. We purified to homogeneity the three major Mn peroxidase isozymes, H3 (pI = 4.9), H4 (pI = 4.5), and H5 (pI = 4.2). Amino-terminal sequencing of these isozymes demonstrates that they are encoded by different genes. We also analyzed the regulation of these isozymes in carbon- and nitrogen-limited cultures and found not only that the lignin and Mn peroxidases are differentially regulated but also that differential regulation occurs within the Mn peroxidase isozyme family. The isozyme profile and the time at which each isozyme appears in secondary metabolism differ in both nitrogen- and carbon-limited cultures. Each isozyme also responded differently to the addition of a putative inducer, divalent Mn. The stability of the Mn peroxidases in carbon- and nitrogen-limited cultures was also characterized after cycloheximide addition. The Mn peroxidases are more stable in carbon-limited cultures than in nitrogen-limited cultures. They are also more stable than the lignin peroxidases. These data collectively suggest that the Mn peroxidase isozymes serve different functions in lignin biodegradation. 相似文献

Homology among multiple extracellular peroxidases from Phanerochaete chrysosporium 总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21

The extracellular peroxidases of Phanerochaete chrysosporium were separated into 21 proteins by analytical isoelectric focusing. Fifteen of these enzymes oxidized veratryl alcohol (lignin peroxidases) in the presence of H2O2. Six enzymes were Mn(II)-dependent peroxidases. The Mn(II)-dependent enzymes appeared and reached their maximal activity earlier than the lignin peroxidases in the cultures. Peptide mapping, amino acid analysis, and reaction against specific antibodies showed that all the Mn(II)-dependent peroxidases were probably products of one gene. A great degree of homology was also present among the various lignin peroxidases. 相似文献

Seven peroxidase isozyme fractions were isolated from rust-infectedresistant wheat leaves by means of ammonium sulfate fractionation,pH precipitation, ion exchange chromatography and gel filtration.Three isozymes showed a single peroxidative band in the electrophoreticgels. The catalytic activity of the enzymes on non-physiologicalsubstrates was comparable to that of commercial horseradishperoxidase. When compared to isozyme 9, isozyme 10 had twicethe activity on guaiacol and eugenol but only one-fifth theoxidative activity on p-phenylenediamine and o-dianisidine.The IAA oxidation activity was compared among purified enzymefractions. Isozyme 10 was the only enzyme which could destroythe auxin without phosphate and manganese cofactors. All theother enzymes, including isozyme 9, showed the activity onlywhen both cofactors were present. The possible involvement ofthese peroxidases in IAA destruction in the resistant tissueis discussed. (Received June 14, 1984; Accepted October 15, 1984) 相似文献

Heterologous expression and characterization of an active lignin peroxidase from Phanerochaete chrysosporium using recombinant baculovirus 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The cDNA clone lambda ML-1 encoding one of the extracellular lignin peroxidases from the white rot fungus, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, was heterologously expressed in an active form using a recombinant baculovirus system. The glycosylated extracellular form of the recombinant protein contained the ferriprotoporphyrin IX moiety and was capable of oxidizing both iodide and the model lignin compound, veratryl alcohol. In comparative peroxidase assays using guaiacol and Mn(II), the recombinant lignin peroxidase did not appear to be Mn(II) dependent. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis demonstrated that the heterologously expressed peroxidase had an apparent molecular weight similar to that of the native fungal isozyme H8. The elution profile of the active recombinant enzyme derived by ion-exchange chromatography and immunoblot analysis using an anti-H8 monoclonal antibody provided further evidence that the lambda ML-1 DNA encodes the lignin peroxidase H8. 相似文献

Flavonoids are increasingly being ingested by the general population as chemotherapeutic and anti-inflammatory agents. They are potentially toxic because of their conversion to free radicals and reactive quinones by peroxidases. Little detailed information is available on how flavonoids interact with myeloperoxidase, which is the predominant peroxidase present at sites of inflammation. This enzyme uses hydrogen peroxide to oxidize chloride to hypochlorous acid, as well as to produce an array of reactive free radicals from organic substrates. We investigated how the flavonoid myricitrin is oxidized by myeloperoxidase and how it affects the activities of this enzyme. Myricitrin was readily oxidized by myeloperoxidase in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. Its main oxidation product was a dimer that underwent further oxidation. In the presence of glutathione, myricitrin was oxidized to a hydroquinone that was conjugated to glutathione. When myeloperoxidase oxidized myricitrin and related flavonoids it became irreversibly inactivated. The number of hydroxyl groups in the B ring of the flavonoids and the presence of a free hydroxyl m-phenol group in the A ring were important for the inhibitory effects. Less enzyme inactivation occurred in the presence of chloride. Neutrophils also oxidized myricitrin to dimers in a reaction that was partially dependent on myeloperoxidase. Myricitrin did not affect the production of hypochlorous acid by neutrophils. We conclude that myricitrin will be oxidized by neutrophils at sites of inflammation to produce reactive free radicals and quinones. It is unlikely to affect hypochlorous acid production by neutrophils. 相似文献

Peroxidase oxidation of lignin and its model compounds 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The published information on the use of enzymes belonging to a large family of peroxidases of plant and fungal origin as the
catalysts of lignin and its model compound oxidation by hydrogen peroxide are reviewed. The structures and the mechanism of
the catalytic action of these enzymes are comparatively considered. The enzymes have similar structures; however, the enzymes
of plant origin have higher stabilities and pH optima. It was concluded that further studies of the effect of the functional
nature, polymolecular properties, and regularities of the redox conversions during the catalytic oxidation of plant lignins
by plant peroxidases are promising. 相似文献
