1. Reduction of ferricyanide by the isolated perfused rat liver and by isolated rat hepatocytes was studied. 2. Ferricyanide was reduced to ferrocyanide by the perfused liver at a linear rate of 0.22mumol/min per g of liver. Ferricyanide was not taken up by the liver and the perfusate concentration of ferricyanide+ferrocyanide remained constant throughout the perfusion. Perfusate samples from livers perfused without ferricyanide did not reduce ferricyanide. 3. Isolated hepatocytes reduced ferricyanide in a biphasic manner. The initial rate of 2.3mumol/min per g of cells proceeded for approx. 3min and derived from low-affinity sites (apparent K(m)>1.3mm). The secondary rate of 0.29mumol/min per g of cells was maintained for the remainder of the incubation and derived from higher affinity sites (apparent K(m)0.13mm). Disruption of the cells resulted in an increase in the low-affinity rate and a decrease in the high-affinity rate. 4. Ferrocyanide was oxidized by isolated hepatocytes but not by perfused liver. The apparent K(m) for ferrocyanide oxidation by hepatocytes was 1.3mm. 5. Oxidized cytochrome c was reduced by isolated hepatocytes in the presence of 1mm-KCN but at a rate less than that of the reduction of ferricyanide. 6. Properties of the ferricyanide-reducing activities of intact hepatocytes and the perfused liver were examined. The low-affinity rate, present only in cell and broken cell preparations, was inhibited by 1mum-rotenone and 0.5mm-ferrocyanide, and stimulated by 0.1mm-KCN. The mitochondrial substrate, succinate, also stimulated this rate. The perfused liver showed only a high-affinity activity for ferricyanide reduction. This activity was also present in liver cells and was unaffected by rotenone, antimycin A, KCN, NaN(3), or p-hydroxymercuribenzoate but was inhibited by 2.6mm-CaCl(2), 2-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide and ferrocyanide. Overall, these results are consistent with the occurrence of a trans-plasma membrane redox system of liver that reduces extracellular ferricyanide to ferrocyanide. The reduction process shows properties which are similar to that of the NADH:ferricyanide oxidoreductase found in isolated liver plasma membranes but different from that of mitochondria. 相似文献

The 4S cytochrome c (Cyt c) reductase activity of several plant species was markedly stimulated by cyanide and ferrocyanide but those of the 8S nitrate reductase component and other particulate components of the maize (Zea mays L.) scutellum by comparison, were increased only slightly. The effect of cyanide and ferrocyanide was not due to elimination of cytochrome oxidase interference but resulted from the stimulation of NADH-dependent reduction of Cyt c. A 4S Cyt c reductase component which could be isolated by ammonium sulfate fractionation and diethyl-aminoethyl-cellulose chromatography was found to be stimulated markedly by cyanide and ferrocyanide. The remaining 4S Cyt c reductase, which was insensitive to cyanide and ferrocyanide, was also fractionated with ammonium sulfate into two components. One of these, like the 8S Cyt c reductase, was sensitive to a protease from the maize roots which is relatively specific for nitrate reductase. This 4S Cyt c reductase species could be a subunit of nitrate reductase. 相似文献

Modeling studies suggest that electrons are transferred from cytochrome c to cytochrome c peroxidase (CcP) with cytochrome c predominantly bound at a site facing the gamma-meso edge of the CcP prosthetic heme group (Poulos, T.L., and Kraut, J. (1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 10322-10330). As shown here, guaiacol and ferrocyanide are oxidized at a different site of CcP. Thus, the oxidations of cytochrome c and guaiacol are differentially inactivated by phenylhydrazine and sodium azide. The loss of guaiacol oxidation activity correlates with covalent binding of 1 equivalent of [14C]phenylhydrazine to the protein, whereas the slower loss of cytochrome c activity correlates with the appearance of a 428-nm absorbance maximum attributed to the formation of a sigma-phenyl-iron heme complex. The delta-meso-phenyl and 8-hydroxymethyl derivatives of heme are formed as minor products. Catalytic oxidation of azide to the azidyl radical results in inactivation of CcP and formation of delta-meso-azidoheme. Reconstitution of apo-CcP with delta-meso-azido-, -ethyl-, and -(2-phenylethyl)heme yields holoproteins that give compound I species with H2O2 and exhibit 80, 59, and 31%, respectively, of the control kcat value for cytochrome c oxidation but little or no guaiacol or ferrocyanide oxidizing activity. Conversely, CcP reconstituted with gamma-meso-ethylheme is fully active in the oxidation of guaiacol and ferrocyanide but only retains 27% of the cytochrome c oxidizing activity. These results indicate that guaiacol and ferrocyanide are primarily oxidized near the delta-meso-heme edge rather than, like cytochrome c, at a surface site facing the gamma-meso edge. 相似文献

A new procedure is described for preparing tree laccase that is missing the type 2 copper. The derivative has only about 5% of the activity of the native enzyme, and some, or all, of the residual activity could be due to traces of holoprotein. The type 1 copper is fully oxidized in the purified type-2-depleted protein, while the type 3 site is reduced to the extent of at least 85%. However, the type 3 coppers can be reoxidized by treatment with excess H2O2. Reconstitution is achieved by incubation with Cu(I), and the remetalated protein exhibits the activity and the spectral properties of the native enzyme. The type 2 copper is removed by dialysis against a redox buffer containing ferri- and ferrocyanide ions as well as EDTA. More than 25% of the total copper is removed from laccase during the procedure, but the type-2-depleted fraction is readily isolated by means of an ion-exchange column. The practical advantages of this procedure are described. Finally, the simplicity of the method raises hopes that the mechanism of depletion can be defined. 相似文献

A latent form of 'Ferrooxidase' exhibiting ferrocyanide-dependent O2 uptake was detected in the isolated spinach chloroplasts. Presence of a cationic detergent hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) in the medium was essential to induce this activity. The association of this enzyme activity with photosystem II (PSII) particles as well as the ability of PSII particles to show oxidation of H2O2 (catalase like activity) indicated its possible relationship with water oxidation system. The protein catalysing this activity was purified to homogeneity and its molecular mass was found to be 34 kDa. The purified protein showed a complete dependence on an electron acceptor, namely ferricyanide, for the oxidation of H2O2. While with ferrocyanide in the presence of CTAB, the protein exhibits the ferrooxidase activity. For both activities, a sharp pH optima at 6.1 was observed. The km for H2O2 was 12.2 mM. The purified enzyme protein contained 4 atoms of calcium and 2 atoms of iron per mole of the enzyme. Unlike catalase, the enzyme reaction was insensitive to sodium azide even at 500 microM concentration. The enzyme was found to be sensitive to metal chelators like ethylene-glycol-bis-(beta-aminoethylether) N, N+ tetra acetic acid (EGTA) (2mM), alpha,alpha-dipyridyl (500 microM) and 1,10-orthophenanthroline (200 microM). The sensitivity of the reaction to alpha,alpha-dipyridyl and 1,10-orthophenanthroline suggested the involvement of Fe2+ in the reaction. Inhibition of enzyme activity by EGTA and restoration of activity by supplementation of CaCl2 to the EGTA-dialysed sample confirmed the absolute requirement for calcium for this activity. Calcium was absent in the EGTA-dialysed enzyme. Apart from these inhibitors, NaF and NH2OH were potent inhibitors of the enzyme reaction.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The effect of heme ring oxygenation on enzyme structure and function has been examined in a reconstituted cytochrome c peroxidase. Oxochlorin derivatives were formed by OsO(4) treatment of mesoporphyrin followed by acid-catalyzed pinacol rearrangement. The northern oxochlorin isomers were isolated by chromatography, and the regio-isomers assignments determined by 2D COSY and NOE 1H NMR. The major isomer, 4-mesoporphyrinone (Mp), was metallated with FeCl(2) and reconstituted into cytochrome c peroxidase (CcP) forming a hybrid green protein, MpCcP. The heme-altered enzyme has 99% wild-type peroxidase activity with cytochrome c. EPR spectroscopy of MpCcP intermediate compound I verifies the formation of the Trp(191) radical similar to wild-type CcP in the reaction cycle. Peroxidase activity with small molecules is varied: guaiacol turnover increases approximately five-fold while that with ferrocyanide is approximately 85% of native. The electron-withdrawing oxo-substitutents on the cofactor cause a approximately 60-mV increase in Fe(III)/Fe(II) reduction potential. The present investigation represents the first structural characterization of an oxochlorin protein with X-ray intensity data collected to 1.70 A. Although a mixture of R- and S-mesopone isomers of the FeMP cofactor was used during heme incorporation into the apo-protein, only the S-isomer is found in the crystallized protein. 相似文献

In an attempt to see if frog blood vessels possess a plasma membrane electron transport system, the postcaval vein and aorta
isolated from Rana tigrina were tested for their ability to reduce ferricyanide, methylene blue, and 2,6-dichloroindophenol. While the dyes remained
unchanged, ferricyanide was reduced to ferrocyanide. This reduction was resistant to inhibition by cyanide and azide. Heptane
extraction or formalin fixation of the tissues markedly reduced the capability to reduce ferricyanide. Denuded aortas retained
only 30% of the activity of intact tissue. Our results indicate that the amphibian postcaval vein and aorta exhibit plasma
membrane electron transport. 相似文献

In reaction centers from Rhodopseudomonas viridis that contain a single quinone, the decay of the photo-oxidized primary donor, P+, was found to be biphasic when the bound, donor cytochromes were chemically oxidized by ferricyanide. The ratio of the two phases was dependent on pH with an apparent pK of 7.6. A fast phase, which dominated at high pH (t1/2 = 1 ms at pH 9.5), corresponded to the expected charge recombination of P+ and the primary acceptor QA-. A much slower phase dominated at low pH and was shown to arise from a slow reduction of P+ by ferrocyanide in reaction centers where QA- has been rapidly oxidized by ferricyanide. The rate of QA- oxidation was linear with respect to ferricyanide activity and was strongly pH-dependent. The second-order rate constant, corrected for the activity coefficient of ferricyanide, approached a maximum of 2 X 10(8) M-1 X s-1 at low pH, but decreased steadily as the pH was raised above a pK of 5.8, indicating that a protonated state of the reaction center was involved. The slow reduction of P+ by ferrocyanide was also second-order, with a maximum rate constant at low pH of 8 X 10(5) M-1 X s-1 corrected for the activity coefficient of ferrocyanide. This rate also decreased at higher pH, with a pK of 7.4, indicating that ferrocyanide also was most reactive with a protonated form of the reaction center. The oxidation of QA- by ferricyanide was unaffected by the presence of o-phenanthroline, implying that access to QA- was not via the QB-binding site. In reaction centers supplemented with ubiquinone, oxidation of reduced secondary quinone, QB-, by ferricyanide was observed but was substantially slower than that for QA-. It is suggested that Q-B may be oxidized via QA so that the rate is modulated by the equilibrium constant for QA-QB in equilibrium with QAQB-. 相似文献

A self-cleaving element for use in bioseparations has been derived from a naturally occurring, 43 kDa protein splicing element (intein) through a combination of protein engineering and random mutagenesis. A mini-intein (18 kDa) previously engineered for reduced size had compromised activity and was therefore subjected to random mutagenesis and genetic selection. In one selection a mini-intein was isolated with restored splicing activity, while in another, a mutant was isolated with enhanced, pH-sensitive C-terminal cleavage activity. The enhanced-cleavage mutant has utility in affinity fusion-based protein purification. These mutants also provide new insights into the structural and functional roles of some conserved residues in protein splicing. 相似文献

The effects of potassium ferrocyanide and EDTA on ethyl alcohol production from molasses by Saccharomyces cerevisiae were investigated on simulated batch pilotplant-scale conditions for alcoholic fermentation of molasses. Ethyl alcohol production was more sensitive to ferrocyanide than to EDTA. When ferrocyanide was introduced into the cultures at the time of inoculation, there was stimulation of ethyl alcohol production, with 261 ppm ferrocyanide producing the maximum effect, which was 3.0% more than in control cultures. When added during the propagation of the yeast, ferrocyanide depressed ethyl alcohol production by 4.0% maximum whereas EDTA stimulated ethyl alcohol production by 2.0%. Addition of ferrocyanide during the fermentation stage produced no significant effect on alcohol production, whereas over a wide range of EDTA concentration there was a steady increase in alcohol yield. 相似文献

The dimeric hemoglobin isolated from Scapharca inaequivalvis, HbI, is notable for its highly cooperative oxygen binding and for the unusual proximity of its heme groups. We now report that the oxidized protein, an equilibrium mixture of a dimeric high spin aquomet form and a monomeric low spin hemichrome, binds ferrocyanide tightly which allows for internal electron transfer with the heme iron. Surprisingly, when ferricyanide-oxidized HbI is exposed to CO, its spectrum shifts to that of the ferrous CO derivative. Gasometric removal of CO leads to the oxidized species rather than to ferrous deoxy-HbI. At equilibrium, CO binds with an apparent affinity (p50) of about 10-25 mm of Hg and no cooperativity (20 degrees C, 10-50 mM buffers at pH 6.1). The kinetics of CO binding under pseudo-first order conditions are biphasic (t1/2 of 15-50 s at pH 6.1). The rates depend on protein, but not on CO concentration. The nitrite-oxidized protein is not reduced readily in the presence of CO unless one equivalent of ferrocyanide, but not of ferricyanide, is added. We infer that ferrocyanide, produced in the oxidation reaction, is tightly bound to the protein forming a redox couple with the heme iron. CO shifts the redox equilibrium by acting as a trap for the reduced heme. The equilibrium and kinetic aspects of the process have been accounted for in a reaction scheme where the internal electron transfer reaction is the rate-limiting step. 相似文献

Ferricyanide reduction frequently is analyzed to determine the activity of membraneous reductases. An improved, highly sensitive, and rapid method for quantitative endpoint determination of ferrocyanide is presented. Ferrocyanide is oxidized by Fe(3+) in the presence of Ferene-S under acid conditions to form a chromogenic Ferene-S/Fe(2+) complex. The latter is quantitated at 593 nm with a sensitivity of 33.2 mM(-1) . cm(-1). The assay is 60% more sensitive to ferrocyanide (and with a 50% lower detection limit) than the prevailing method of Avron and Shavit, which employs sulfonated bathophenanthroline as the ferrous chromogen. Both pH dependence and potential sources of interference are discussed. Using the method, a sulfhydryl-sensitive, ascorbate-stimulated transplasma membrane ferricyanide reductase was assayed in human chronic myeloid (K562) leukemia cells. Furthermore, malonate-sensitive succinate dehydrogenase activity of heart mitochondria was easily assayed with ferricyanide as terminal electron acceptor. The current method will suit routine applications demanding high throughput, robustness, and sensitivity in a 96-well plate format. 相似文献

Summary Stability studies of photosynthetic activity under continuous saturating illumination are presented. Chloroplast membranes (thylakoids) are isolated in a classical Hepes/sorbitol buffer or in high salt concentration buffers (citrate or sulphate) and then immobilized in a co-crosslinking serum albumin-glutaraldehyde matrix. The activities of these immobilized systems tested in a batch reactor are greatly increased by high concentrations of salts (223 and 277 mol ferrocyanide/mg of chlorophyll per hour for citrate; 243 and 267 mol ferrocyanide/mg of chlorophyll per hour for sulphate, compared with 141 mol ferrocyanide/mg of chlorophyll per hour for sorbitol). In continuous stirred-tank reactors, the conversion rates increase when high concentrations of salts are present in the buffer (approximately 36% for citrate and 34% for sulphate compared with 18% for sorbitol). The functional stability of these immobilized systems during continuous illuminations is higher in citrate (7.5 h) than in sulphate (5.5 h) or sorbitol (3.5 h). These experiments performed in batch or in continuous stirred-tank reactors underline the importance of salt ions in the reaction media.Abbreviations ADP

In this work, various ferro-ferricyanide oxidoreductase activities of rat liver mitochondria were studied to find conditions under which the outer membrane might restrict the flux of these highly charged non-biological anions. When the isotonic low ionic strength medium was supplemented with 25mM KCl, a several-fold increase in the succinate-ferricyanide reductase activity of mitochondria and in the rate of external NADH oxidation in the presence of ferrocyanide was observed. Mitochondrial respiration with 5mM ferrocyanide was almost completely inhibited after consumption of 3.8-18.5% of the dissolved oxygen, depending on the medium and the presence of 2,4-dinitrophenol. These and other experimental data together with mathematical modeling of the redox-state equilibrium suggest that the measured activities might be restricted by two factors: first, the permeability of the outer mitochondrial membrane and second, a strong influence of the ionic strength of incubation media on the intermembrane space redox reactions. 相似文献

Specific catalytic oxidation of sperm whale oxymyoglobin by small amounts of potassium ferri- and ferrocyanide, from 1 to 20% in relation to the protein concentration, was studied. The mechanism of catalysis was shown to involve specific binding of the ferrocyanide anion to the protein. The influence of pH and ionic strength of the medium, the [Fe(CN)6]4- concentration and of chemical modification of Mb histidines by bromoacetate, as well as the effect of the Mb complexing with redox-inactive zinc ion on the rate of reaction was examined. The zinc ion forms a stable complex with His 119(GH1) on the Mb surface at the equimolar Zn2+ concentration. The kinetic scheme of the reaction was analyzed, and the equilibrium and kinetic parameters were obtained. It was first shown that the strong oxidant such as potassium ferricyanide is able to react with the same protein by two distinct mechanisms: (i) a simple outer sphere electron transfer over the heme edge and (ii) electron transfer after the specific binding of [Fe(CN)6]4- to oxyMb in the His 119(GH1) region, thus catalyzing the protein oxidation. 相似文献

1. We have developed a procedure for preparing derivatives of bovine superoxide dismutase in which primarily the Cu binding sites are occupied by Cu2+ (2 Cu2+-) and in which both the Zn and Cu binding sites are occupied by Cu2+ (4 Cu2+-). 2. The 2 Cu2+ protein shows approximately one-half the superoxide dismutase activity of an equivalent amount of native protein. A two-fold enhancement of the activity of 2 Cu2+-dismutase was observed upon occupation of the Zn sites either with Zn2+ or Cu2+. 3. The electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum of 4 Cu2+ protein was recorded over the temperature range 5-100 degrees K and the results suggest an antiferro-magnetic interaction between Cu2+ in the Zn site and Cu2+ in the Cu site having a coupling constant of approx. 52 cm-1. 4. The binuclear Cu2+ complex was found to accept only one electron from ferrocyanide. 5. One-half the total Cu+ of dithionite reduced 4 Cu+ protein was found to react rapidly with bathocupreine sulfonate whereas the other half reacted slowly. Reduced native protein did not react with bathocupreine sulfonate below 70 degrees C. 相似文献

The photoassembly of the Mn4CaO5 cluster in Mn-depleted photosystem II preparations (photoactivation) was studied under the influence of oxidants, reductants and pH. New data on the effect of these factors on the photoactivation yield are presented. The presence of the oxidant, ferricyanide, negatively affected the photoactivation yield over the entire concentration range studied (0–1 mM). In contrast to ferricyanide, the addition of the reductant, ferrocyanide, up to 1 mM resulted in an increase in the photoactivation yield. Other reductants either did not significantly affect (diphenylcarbazide) or suppressed (ascorbate) the photoactivation yield. The effect of ferrocyanide on photoactivation were found to be similar dichlorophenolindophenol. Investigation of the photoactivation yield as a function of pH revealed that the maximum yield was observed at pH 6.5 in the presence of ferrocyanide and DCPIP, and at pH 5.5 without additives. In addition, the photoactivation yield at pH 5.5 was the same without and with the addition of ferrocyanide or dichlorophenolindophenol. Although ferricyanide suppressed the photoactivation, the photoactivation yield increased in the presence of ferricyanide by shifting the pH to the acidic region. The samples contained approximately 25 % of the HP cyt b559, which was in the reduced state, as the absorbance at 559 nm was decreased upon addition of ferricyanide and subsequent addition of ferrocyanide returned the spectrum to the baseline. A possible relationship between the effect of factors on the photoactivation and the involvement of cyt b559 in the protection of PSII from oxidative damage on the donor side is discussed. 相似文献

We introduce a one-step histochemical method with cobalt as the precipitating agent for ferrocyanide for the light microscopic demonstration of acetylcholinesterase activity. This method was used to demonstrate acetylcholinesterase in normal cortical fibers and neurons, as well as pathological elements such as plaques and tangles. This procedure can also be easily combined with immunohistochemical methods that use diaminobenzidine as a chromogen. 相似文献

A protein exhibiting immunological cross-reactivity with NADP-specific isocitrate dehydrogenase, but containing no catalytic activity, has been isolated from nalidixic acid-resistantEscherichia coli. The two proteins have, within the limits of experimentation, identical molecular weight, subunit structure, and amino acid homology. The absence of catalytic activity in the protein isolated from nalidixic acid-resistant mutants may result from a mutation in the isocitrate dehydrogenase structural gene. 相似文献
