香蕉组培苗POD、PPO及SOD活性对银胁迫的反应

用0.1mg/mL硝酸银溶液处理香蕉组培苗,分别测定了多酚氧化酶(PPO)、过氧化物酶(POD)及超氧化物岐化酶(SOD)的活性。结果表明:在银胁迫下,香蕉组培苗的PPO、POD、SOD的活性明显增加(P<0 05或P<0 01),但随着胁迫时间的延长呈下降趋势且趋于稳定,这说明PPO、POD和SOD活性的提高与维持是植物耐受银胁迫的物质基础之一。     

Differential induction of peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase isozymes in suspension-cultured cells of blast resistant and susceptible genotypes of rice in response to treatment with Magnaporthe grisea elicitor and toxin

The effect of elicitor from mycelial walls of Magnaporthe grisea, the rice blast fungus and α-picolinic acid, one of the toxins produced by M. grisea on induction of peroxidase (PO), polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in suspension-cultured rice (Oryza sativa L.) cells was studied. Cultured cells of blast resistant (Usen) and susceptible (CO39) rice genotypes were treated with elicitor (50?μg of glucose equivalents per ml) or α-picolinic acid (400?ppm). The cells were harvested at different time intervals and analysed for the induction of PO and PPO. PO isozyme analysis indicated that the elicitor strongly induced the activities of PO-2 and PO-3 in cultured cells of Usen 3?days after treatment. In Usen, toxin also induced the activities of PO-3 and PO-4. However, similar levels of activities corresponding to these isozymes were recorded 7?days after treatment. In CO39, the activities of PO-1 and PO-2 were induced 3?days after elicitor treatment. In contrast, the toxin suppressed the activity of PO-2. The elicitor induced the activities of PPO-1, PPO-2 and PPO-3 in both Usen and CO39. In Usen, steady increase of PPO-3 was observed and higher level of activity was recorded 5?days after treatment. In CO39, higher level of PPO-3 was observed 1?day after treatment and declined thereafter. However, the activities of PPO-1 and PPO-2 increased 3?days after treatment in CO39. In the toxin-treated cells of Usen, higher level of activity of PPO-3 was observed 3?days after treatment.     

Iaa oxidase and polyphenol oxidase activities of peanut peroxidase isozymes

Four anionic isozymes (A₁, A₂, A₄ and A₅) from peanut cells in suspension medium possessed IAA oxidase and polyphenol oxidase activities. The specific activities of each of the enzymes differed among the 4 isozymes. The pH optima established in these assays for peroxidase was acidic, for IAA oxidase neutral and for polyphenol oxidase alkaline. All 4 isozymes had different K_m and V_max for the enzyme activities of peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase. The sigmoid kinetics from the IAA oxidase assays for the isozymes probably indicates an allosteric nature.     

Identification of uronic acid oxidase in plant peroxidase preparations

Commercial plant peroxidase preparations contained a uronic acid oxidase, separable from the peroxidase activity by ion exchange chromatography. The partially purified enzyme, devoid of peroxidase, oxidized hexuronic acids, with the greatest activity for D-glucuronic acid, whereas other aldoses were not substrates. The immediate products of reaction of D-glucuronic acid with oxygen were hydrogen peroxide and a D-glucarolactone, which was a very strong inhibitor of β-glucuronidase and believed to be the 1,5-lactone. The sensitivity to sulphite inhibition suggests that the enzyme is a flavoprotein.     

Ethylene in relation to protein, peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase activities during rooting in hazelnut cotyledons

During formation of adventitious roots, the effects of 2-chlorethylphosphonic acid (CEPA), 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) and aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) added to a Cheng basal medium, supplemented with indole-3-butyricacid (IBA) and kinetin were determined on peroxidase (PO; EC 1.11.1.7) and poiyphenol oxidase (PPO; EC 1.10.3.1) activities in cotyledon explants of hazelnut ( Corylus avellana L. cv. Casina). CEPA stimulated PO and PPO activities while AVG inhibited. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of preparations from hazelnut cotyledons showed a correlation between proteins and rooting. Ethylene seems to modify total protein content and the activities of PO and PPO. As compared to the control extracts, AVG inhibited the anodic (53, 30.7 and 27 kDa) and cathodic (66.2 and 53.4 kDa) isoperoxidases and anodic (27.5 and 21 kDa) and cathodic (67.5 kDa) isopolyphenol oxidases, whereas CEPA promoted the anodic (30.7, 28.8 and 27 kDa) and cathodic (53.4 and 27.2 kDa) isozymes with PO activity. The increased PO activity during rooting in hazelnut cotyledons could enhance isozymes with lignin biosynthetic activity.     

Indole-3-acetic acid oxidase and syringaldazine oxidase activities of peroxidase isozymes in soybean root nodules

Many isoperoxidases with indole-3-acetic acid oxidase (IAA) and syringaldazine oxidase activities were detected by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in soybean root nodules [ Glycine max (L.) Merrill, cv. Asgrow], detached at the onset of flowering. The kinetics of the two activities were studied with some of the isoperoxidases partially purified by ion exchange chromatography. IAA oxidase activity of the cationic isoforms showed a sigmoidal kinetic behaviour and a higher substrate affinity than the anionic ones, whereas typical saturation kinetics were found with an anionic fraction that contained leghemoglobins. So, nodule IAA oxidase activity may mainly be displayed by the cationic isoforms. These cationic isoperoxidases had high affinity towards syringaldazine and they also may be associated with cell wall rigidification.

运用丙酮浸漬干燥、磷酸盐缓冲液提取、低温离心、硫酸铵沉淀、DEAE-Sephadex(A-50)、Sephadex(G-75) 和DEAE-celluse(DE-52)层析等方法从苹果中分离获得一种新的含铜酶蛋白,该酶被命名为多酚氧化酶Ⅱ(polyphenol oxidase Ⅱ, PPOⅡ),纯化倍数是215,纯化收率是23%.PAGE、SDS-PAGE和MALDI-TOF 等技术用于测定所获的酶的纯度和分子量.在PAGE和SDS-PAGE 均显示一条带,表明PPOⅡ只由一个亚基组成,且已达到单一组分(MALDI-TOF的结果更证实了这一点).SDS-PAGE 和 MALDI-TOF 的结果都表明PPO的分子量为 38204 Da.pH值对酶活性和稳定性研究的结果显示,从pH值4.0～7.0随着pH值的增加,酶活性也不断增加;从pH值 7.0～11.0, 酶活性不断降低.PPOⅡ的最适pH值为6.6最适温度为30℃.     

Determination of urinary oxalate with alkylamine glass-bound sorghum oxalate oxidase and horseradish peroxidase

Oxalate in urine was analyzed using sorghum oxalate oxidase and horseradish peroxidase immobilized on alkylamine glass through glutaraldehyde. The minimum detection limit was 0.46 g/0.1 ml urine. The recovery of added oxalate was 97.5%. Within and between assay coefficients of variation were <3.5% and <6.5% respectively. A good correlation (r=0.9234) was found between oxalate values obtained by a commercial kit method and the present method. The method is unaffected by Cl– and NO3– found in urine.     

Co-immobilization of manganese peroxidase from Phlebia radiata and glucose oxidase from Aspergillus niger on porous silica beads

Manganese peroxidase (MnP) from Phlebia radiata and glucose oxidase from Aspergillus niger were co-immobilized on porous silica beads. Immobilization of both enzymes on the same carrier provided an integrated system in which H₂O₂ required by MnP was produced by glucose oxidase. The immobilization process resulted in a decrease of both enzymatic activities and substrate affinities. However, immobilization improved the stability of MnP against H₂O₂ or high pH, as well as the storage stability of this enzyme.     

Callus growth and somatic embryogenesis in thalamus tissue ofRanunculus asiaticus L. CultivatedIn vitro: Cytokinin effect and phenol metabolism

Summary The effect of cytokinin on growth and plant regeneration of thalamus-derived calluses ofRanunculus asiaticus L. has been investigated with various concentrations of 6-benzyladenine and 6-furfurylaminopurine (kinetin), in a medium containing 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid levels, which was decreased to 0 over three subcultures. Cytokinins, although not essential, for initiating callus production, improved subsequent callus growth and plant regeneration. No somatic embryogenesis was observed on calluses grown on media lacking cytokinins or containing only kinetin. Calluses manifested embryogenesis on media containing 6-benzyladenie plus kinetin or only 6-benzyladenine. Nondifferentiating callus was characterized by a high content of phenolic polymers and an elevated peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase activity in comparison with differentiating callus. Differences in simple phenol concentrations were observed in the two kinds of callus.     

Induction of peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase in Arachis hypogaea in response to treatment with Pseudomonas fluorescens and inoculation with Alternaria alternata

Abstract

The application of talc-formulation through seed, seed treatment plus foliar spray and foliar spray alone significantly reduced the leaf blight incidence both under greenhouse and field conditions. The groundnut plants treated with biocontrol agent and challenge inoculated with Alternaria alternata recorded significantly increased activity of Peroxidase isozyme (PO), Polyphenol oxidase isozymes (PPO) activity. Expression of PO2, PPO1 and PPO2 isoforms were found in all the plants treated with Pf1 while additional PO1, PPO3, PPO4 and PPO5 were observed in Pf1-treated plants followed by challenge inoculation with the pathogen.     

Effect of salinity stress on growth,peroxidase and IAA oxidase activities in vigna seedlings

The present work was carried out with the aim of studying the effect of salinity stress on growth and IAA oxidizing system (i.e. peroxidase and IAA oxidase) in vigna (Vigna unguiculata L.) seedlings. The seedlings were treated with two concentrations of sodium chloride (NaCl) 0.1 M and 0.25 M. Length, fresh and dry weight were the parameters considered for growth. Salinity effect was distinct in fresh weight and dry weight of different organs. Peroxidase and IAA oxidase activities were measured at different time intervals for both cytoplasmic and wall bound fractions. Peroxidase activity was maximum at higher stress conditions bringing about the hypocotyl growth restriction. Thus there was a clear inverse correlation between elongation and peroxidase activity. IAA oxidase activity also showed a similar trend for both cytoplasmic and wall bound fractions. The role of IAA oxidizing system in defense mechanism in response to salinity stress is discussed.

Phenolic oxidase activities in glandular trichomes of Solanum berthaultii

Polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase activities were detected in foliar glandular trichomes of the wild, insect-resistant potato species, Solanum berthaultii. These enzyme activities may provide the basis for conversion of clear, viscous trichome exudate into a hard, brown substance which is formed rapidly after insect attack.     

Cytokinin control in subcellular localization of indoleacetic acid oxidase and peroxidase

IAA oxidase and peroxidase were found in all subcellular fractions of tobacco callus cells. The bound and cytoplasmic fractions differed greatly in IAA oxidase/peroxidase ratio and in isoperoxidase composition. The IAA oxidase/peroxidase ratio was particularly high in the plasma membrane-rich fraction. Kinetin had profound effects on IAA oxidase and peroxidase. The appearance of fast migrating isoperoxidases in response to 0·2 μM kinetin was found only in cytoplasmic, plasma membrane and ribosome-rich fractions; a high concentration of kinetin inhibited their formation. High kinetin concentrations also lowered the specific activity of IAA oxidase and peroxidase in all subcellular fractions, but the effect was much greater on peroxidase than on IAA oxidase, thus resulting in a drastic increase in IAA oxidase/peroxidase ratio. Evidently the activities of IAA oxidase and peroxidase were not equivalent and should be considered separately.     

Plasma xanthine oxidase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities and uric acid levels in severe and mild pre-eclampsia

The aim of the present study was to measure plasma uric acid (UA) levels and superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and xanthine oxidase (XO) activities and to evaluate the relationship between these parameters and the severity of pre-eclampsia. Twenty-five pre-eclamptic, 15 healthy pregnant and 15 non-pregnant women were enrolled in this study. Increased mean plasma XO activity was found to be higher in both pre-eclampsia groups than in the healthy pregnant group. Plasma UA levels were the highest in the severe pre-eclampsia group among the study groups. SOD and GSH-Px activities were significantly lower in both pre-eclampsia groups than in the healthy pregnant group (p < 0.005 and p < 0.001, respectively). Increased XO and decreased SOD and GSH-Px activities may contribute to the pathophysiological mechanisms of pre-eclampsia and increased UA may serve a protective role responding to superoxide radicals arising from increased XO activity or other sources in pre-eclampsia.     

Microfluidic peroxidase biochip for polyphenol synthesis

An enzyme-containing microfluidic biochip has been developed for the oxidative polymerization of phenols. The biochip consists of a simple T-junction with two feed reservoirs 20 mm apart and a microreaction channel 30 mm long. The channel is 15 microm deep and 200 microm wide at the center, giving a reaction volume of 90 nL. The biochip was fabricated using conventional photolithographic methods on a glass substrate etched using a HF-based solution. Fluid transport was enabled using electroosmotic flow. Soybean peroxidase was used as the phenol oxidizing catalyst, and in the presence of p-cresol and H(2)O(2), essentially complete conversion of the H(2)O(2) (the limiting substrate) occurred in the microchannel at a flow rate of ca. 290 nL/min. Thus, peroxidase was found to be intrinsically active even upon dramatic scale-down as achieved in microfluidic reactors. These results were extended to a series of phenols, thereby demonstrating that the microfluidic peroxidase reactor may have application in high-throughput screening of phenolic polymerization reactions for use in phenolic resin synthesis. Finally, rapid growth of poly(p-cresol) on the walls of the microreaction channel could be performed in the presence of higher H(2)O(2) concentrations. This finding suggests that solution-phase peroxidase catalysis can be used in the controlled deposition of polymers on the walls of microreactors.     

Preparation and characterization of alkaline phosphatase,horseradish peroxidase,and glucose oxidase conjugates with carboxylated carbon nano-onions

Carbon nanomaterials have emerged as suitable supports for enzyme immobilization and stabilization due to their inherently large surface area, high electrical conductivity, chemical stability, and mechanical strength. In this paper, carbon nano-onions (CNOs) were used as supports to immobilize alkaline phosphatase, horseradish peroxidase, and glucose oxidase. CNOs were first functionalized by oxidation to generate carboxylic groups on the surface followed by the covalent linking of using a soluble carbodiimide as coupling agent. The CNO–enzyme conjugates were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed a specific enzyme load of ～0.5?mg of protein per milligram of CNO. The immobilized enzymes showed enhanced storage stability without altering the optimum pH and temperatures. These properties make the prepared nanobiocatalyst of potential interest in biosensing and other biotechnological applications.     

Isolation of a full-length cDNA encoding polyphenol oxidase from sugarcane, a C4 grass

Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity in sugarcane (a C4 grass) was highest in the growing point and declined down the stalk. Sugarcane PPO with an apparent molecular mass of 45 kDa was purified to homogeneity from immature stem tissue. Western analysis of sugarcane extracts with a polyclonal antibody raised to this protein suggested it resulted from cleavage of a 60 kDa protein during purification. The antibody was used to screen a sugarcane stem cDNA library. A full-length PPO clone (sugppol) was characterised and shown to encode a 67 kDa precursor protein comprising a plastid transit sequence of 8 kDa and a mature PPO protein of 59 kDa. High levels of expression ofsugppol were detected in the growing point of the stalk and in the immature tissue immediately below it, but no message was detected in RNA from mature stem or leaf. Comparison with other PPO sequences indicated thatsugppol was significantly different to PPO genes in C3 dicotyledonous plants.
