Crystal violet (gentian violet) can undergo an oxidative metabolism, catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase, resulting in formaldehyde formation. The N-demethylation reaction was strongly inhibited by reduced glutathione. Evidence for the formation of a crystal violet radical during the horseradish peroxidase catalyzed reaction was the detection of thiyl and ascorbate radicals from glutathione and ascorbate, respectively. The concentration of radicals from both compounds was significantly increased in the presence of crystal violet. Oxygen uptake was stimulated when glutathione was present in the system and this oxygen uptake was dependent on the dye and enzyme concentration. Oxygen uptake did not occur when ascorbate, instead of glutathione, was present in the system. However, when glutathione was present, ascorbate totally inhibited the glutathione-stimulated oxygen uptake in the crystal violet/horseradish peroxidase/hydrogen peroxide system. Although a weak ESR spectrum from a crystal violet-derived free radical was detected when the dye reacted with H2O2 and horseradish peroxidase, using the fast flow technique, this spectrum could not be interpreted. 相似文献

Horseradish peroxidase and horse heart microperoxidase can bind estradiol to human or bovine serum albumin in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. However, we have shown here that, in the absence of serum albumin, the hormone was fixed by the enzyme molecule itself. Evidence is presented that (a) the hormone is transformed into a water-soluble and dialysable derivative of estradiol; (b) this new product is easily separated from the enzyme by gel filtration chromatography. It appears to have a high affinity for the chromatographic gel. The implications of the binding of an estradiol derivative to peroxidases are discussed. 相似文献

The decarboxylation of retinoic acid by horseradish peroxidase was investigated. A marked increase in the yield of products was obtained. However, the data indicated the reaction was a nonenzymatic, heme catalyzed peroxidation. Previously reported requirements for phosphate, oxygen and ferrous ion were eliminated when hydrogen peroxide was provided. Peroxide also eliminated the EDTA and cyanide induced inhibition of the phosphate dependent system. In the presence of hydrogen peroxide, horseradish peroxidase was not essential to the reaction; heme equivalent amounts of hemoglobin decarboxylated retinoic acid with equal facility. However, hemoglobin was ineffective in the absence of hydrogen peroxide. Attainment of 50--60% decarboxylation represented complete utilization of the available retinoic acid. Thus the products of the reaction can be divided into two groups, products of retinoic acid oxidation and products of an oxidative decarboxylation of retinoic acid. 相似文献

Horseradish peroxidase and hydrogen peroxide form phenoxy radicals from 4-substituted-2,6-dimethoxyphenols, milled wood lignin and alkali lignins. A number of factors governing this reaction are examined. Side chain cleavage to quinones is the principal disproportionation reaction of these radicals. Catalysis by UV light and inhibition by quinones is observed. Aerobic oxidation of phenols is catalyzed by small amounts of hydrogen peroxide. Lignin substrates are degraded by the same oxidation mechanism as are the simple phenolic substrates. 相似文献

The initial-rate kinetics of bovine thyroid peroxidase are reported using 325 sets of concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and guaiacol. Extended ranges of concentrations are used and the v(S) profiles are fitted by rational functions of degree 2:2, 3:3 and +:4 by interactive non-linear regression analysis. Estimates of initial slopes in v(S) plots obtained by this regression are then replotted against the fixed substrate concentration and this confirms the need for a high-degree rate equation. Values of the F statistic indicate that the rate equation is 3:3 in guaiacol and 4:4 in hydrogen peroxide. It is concluded that the kinetics of peroxidase from bovine thyroid, like horse radish and human cervical mucus peroxidase and lactoperoxidase can be accommodated by the greater cyclic mechanism and that this is the minimal kinetic scheme for peroxidase In general. 相似文献

Cytochrome c peroxidase oxidises hydrogen peroxide using cytochrome c as the electron donor. This enzyme is found in yeast and bacteria and has been also described in the trematodes Fasciola hepatica and Schistosoma mansoni. Using partially purified cytochrome c peroxidase samples from Fasciola hepatica we evaluated its role as an antioxidant enzyme via the investigation of its ability to protect against oxidative damage to deoxyribose in vitro. A system containing FeIII-EDTA plus ascorbate was used to generate reactive oxygen species superoxide radical, H2O2 as well as the hydroxyl radical. Fasciola hepatica cytochrome c peroxidase effectively protected deoxyribose against oxidative damage in the presence of its substrate cytochrome c. This protection was proportional to the amount of enzyme added and occurred only in the presence of cytochrome c. Due to the low specific activity of the final partially purified sample the effects of ascorbate and calcium chloride on cytochrome c peroxidase were investigated. The activity of the partially purified enzyme was found to increase between 10 and 37% upon reduction with ascorbate. However, incubation of the partially purified enzyme with 1 mM calcium chloride did not have any effect on enzyme activity. Our results showed that Fasciola hepatica CcP can protect deoxyribose from oxidative damage in vitro by blocking the formation of the highly toxic hydroxyl radical (.OH). We suggest that the capacity of CcP to inhibit .OH-formation, by efficiently removing H2O2 from the in vitro oxidative system, may extend the biological role of CcP in response to oxidative stress in Fasciola hepatica. 相似文献

Resonance Raman spectra of native, overexpressed M. tuberculosis catalase-peroxidase (KatG), the enzyme responsible for activation of the antituberculosis antibiotic isoniazid (isonicotinic acid hydrazide), have confirmed that the heme iron in the resting (ferric) enzyme is high-spin five-coordinate. Difference Raman spectra did not reveal a change in coordination number upon binding of isoniazid to KatG. Stopped-flow spectrophotometric studies of the reaction of KatG with stoichiometric equivalents or small excesses of hydrogen peroxide revealed only the optical spectrum of the ferric enzyme with no hypervalent iron intermediates detected. Large excesses of hydrogen peroxide generated oxyferrous KatG, which was unstable and rapidly decayed to the ferric enzyme. Formation of a pseudo-stable intermediate sharing optical characteristics with the porphyrin pi-cation radical-ferryl iron species (Compound I) of horseradish peroxidase was observed upon reaction of KatG with excess 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, peroxyacetic acid, or tert-butylhydroperoxide (apparent second-order rate constants of 3.1 x 10(4), 1.2 x 10(4), and 25 M(-1) s(-1), respectively). Identification of the intermediate as KatG Compound I was confirmed using low-temperature electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Isoniazid, as well as ascorbate and potassium ferrocyanide, reduced KatG Compound I to the ferric enzyme without detectable formation of Compound II in stopped-flow measurements. This result differed from the reaction of horseradish peroxidase Compound I with isoniazid, during which Compound II was stably generated. These results demonstrate important mechanistic differences between a bacterial catalase-peroxidase and the homologous plant peroxidases and yeast cytochrome c peroxidase, in its reactions with peroxides as well as substrates. 相似文献

Japanese-radish peroxidase c, a paraperoxidase exhibiting the optical absorption spectrum of low-spin nature, was found to transform to a high-spin state by removing a dissociable ligand of low molecular weight by the addition of the stoichiometric amount of p-chloro mercuribenzoate, as in the case of horseradish peroxidase I or wheat germ peroxidase 566. The reaction could be reversed by the addition of cysteine to remove p-chloromercuribenzoate. As this ligand would be possibly cyanide, the affinity of the high-spin form of the enzyme to sodium cyanide was determined, which was found to be much higher than that of Japanese-radish peroxidase a. The high-spin form of peroxidase c formed the usual Compound I by the addition of hydrogen peroxide, so that the peroxidatic reaction catalyzed by this enzyme should follow the common mechanism of plant peroxidases. However, Compound II was scarecely observed during the course of the stepwise reduction of Compound I by ascorbate, probably because of its more rapid conversion to the free enzyme. 相似文献

The inactivation of glutamine synthetase (GS; EC 6.3.1.2) by metal-catalyzed oxidation (MCO) systems was studied in several Prochlorococcus strains, including the axenic PCC 9511. GS was inactivated in the presence of various oxidative systems, either enzymatic (as NAD(P)H+NAD(P)H-oxidase+Fe(3+)+O(2)) or non-enzymatic (as ascorbate+Fe(3+)+O(2)). This process required the presence of oxygen and a metal cation, and is prevented under anaerobic conditions. Catalase and peroxidase, but not superoxide dismutase, effectively protected the enzyme against inactivation, suggesting that hydrogen peroxide mediates this mechanism, although it is not directly responsible for the reaction. Addition of azide (an inhibitor of both catalase and peroxidase) to the MCO systems enhanced the inactivation. Different thiols induced the inactivation of the enzyme, even in the absence of added metals. However, this inactivation could not be reverted by addition of strong oxidants, as hydrogen peroxide or oxidized glutathione. After studying the effect of addition of the physiological substrates and products of GS on the inactivation mechanism, we could detect a protective effect in the case of inorganic phosphate and glutamine. Immunochemical determinations showed that the concentration of GS protein significantly decreased by effect of the MCO systems, indicating that inactivation precedes the degradation of the enzyme. 相似文献

oxidation of diethylstilbestrol (DES) by peroxidase preparations from horse radish or mouse uterus in the presence of hydrogen peroxide yields β-dienestrol, which is also a major metabolite of DES in several mammalian species. The oxidation reaction appears to involve reactive intermediates, presumably the semiquinone and quinone of DES, since nonextractable binding to salmon sperm deoxyribonucleic acid and bovine serum albumin was found. The peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation of DES to reactive metabolites in estrogen target organs may be related to the organ toxicity of this synthetic estrogen. 相似文献

Thylakoid-Bound Ascorbate Peroxidase in Spinach Chloroplasts and Photoreduction of Its Primary Oxidation Product Monodehydroascorbate Radicals in Thylakoids 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
Ascorbate peroxidase, a key enzyme for the scavenging of hydrogenperoxide in chloroplasts, was found in a thylakoid-bound formin spinach chloroplasts at comparable activity to that in thestroma. The activity of peroxidase was detectable in the thylakoidsonly when prepared by an ascorbate-containing medium, and enrichedin the stroma thylakoids. The thylakoid enzyme was not releasedfrom the membranes by either 2 mM EDTA, 1 M KCl, 2 M NaBr or2 M NaSCN, but was solubilized by detergents. Enzymatic propertiesof the thylakoid-bound ascorbate peroxidase were very similarto those of the stromal ascorbate peroxidase. Thylakoid-bound ascorbate peroxidase could scavenge the hydrogenperoxide either added or photoproduced by the thylakoids. Nophotoreduction of hydrogen peroxide was observed, however, inthe thylakoids whose ascorbate peroxidase was inhibited by KCNand thiol reagents or inactivated by the treatment with ascorbate-depletion.The primary oxidation product of ascorbate in a reaction ofascorbate peroxidase, monodehydroascorbate (MDA) radical, wasphotoreduced in the thylakoids, as detected by the quenchingof chlorophyll fluorescence, disappearance of EPR signals ofthe MDA radicals and the MDA radical-induced oxygen evolution.Thus, ascorbate is photoregenerated in the thylakoids from theMDA radicals produced in a reaction of ascorbate peroxidasefor the scavenging of hydrogen peroxide.

Acellular hemoglobins developed as oxygen bridging agents with volume expanding properties ("blood substitutes") are prone to autoxidation and oxidant-mediated structural changes in circulation. In the presence of hydrogen peroxide and either ascorbate or urate we show that ferric hemoglobin functions as a true enzymatic peroxidase. The activity saturates with both substrates and is linearly dependent on protein concentration. The activity is enhanced at low pH with a pKa of 4.7, consistent with protonation of the ferryl species (Fe(IV)-OH) as the active intermediate. To test whether these redox reactions define its behaviour in vivo we exchanged transfused guinea pigs with 50% polymerized bovine Hb (PolyHbBv) and monitored plasma levels of endogenous ascorbate and urate. Immediately after transfusion, met PolyHbBv levels increased up to 30% of total Hb and remained at this level during the first 24 h post transfusion. Plasma ascorbate decreased by 50% whereas urate levels remained unchanged after transfusion. A simple kinetic model, assuming that ascorbate was a more active ferric heme reductase and peroxidase substrate than urate, was consistent with the in vivo data. The present finding confirms the primary and secondary roles of ascorbate and urate respectively in maintaining the oxidative stability of infused Hb. 相似文献

Oxidation of Amplex Red by hydrogen peroxide in the presence of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) gives rise to an intensely colour product, resorufin. This reaction has been frequently employed for measurements based on enzyme-coupled reactions that detect hydrogen peroxide as a final reaction product. In the current study, we show that the presence of dietary antioxidants at biological concentrations in the reaction medium produced interferences in the Amplex Red/HRP catalyzed reaction that result in an over quantification of the hydrogen peroxide produced. The interference observed showed a dose-dependent manner, and a possible mechanism of interaction of dietary antioxidants with HRP in the Amplex Red-coupled-fluorescent assay is proposed. 相似文献

Ascorbate peroxidase isoforms localized in the stroma and thylakoid of higher plant chloroplasts are rapidly inactivated by hydrogen peroxide if the second substrate, ascorbate, is depleted. However, cytosolic and microbody-localized isoforms from higher plants as well as ascorbate peroxidase B, an ascorbate peroxidase of a red alga Galdieria partita, are relatively tolerant. We constructed various chimeric ascorbate peroxidases in which regions of ascorbate peroxidase B, from sites internal to the C-terminal end, were exchanged with corresponding regions of the stromal ascorbate peroxidase of spinach. Analysis of these showed that a region between residues 245 and 287 was involved in the inactivation by hydrogen peroxide. A 16-residue amino acid sequence (249-264) found in this region of the stromal ascorbate peroxidase was not found in other ascorbate peroxidase isoforms. A chimeric ascorbate peroxidase B with this sequence inserted was inactivated by hydrogen peroxide within a few minutes. The sequence forms a loop that binds noncovalently to heme in cytosolic ascorbate peroxidase of pea but does not bind to it in stromal ascorbate peroxidase of tobacco, and binds to cations in both ascorbate peroxidases. The higher susceptibility of the stromal ascorbate peroxidase may be due to a distorted interaction of the loop with the cation and/or the heme. 相似文献

Melanin was decolorized by lignin peroxidase fromPhanerochaete chrysosporium. This decolorization reaction showed a Michaelis-Mentens type relationship between the decolorization rate and concentration
of two substrates: melanin and hydrogen peroxide. Kinetic constants of the decolorization reaction were 0.1 OD475/min (V
max) and 99.7 mg/L (K
m) for melanin and 0.08 OD475/min (V
max) and 504.9 μM (K
m) for hydrogen peroxide, respectively. Depletion of hydrogen peroxide interrupted the decolorization reaction, indicating
the essential requirement of hydrogen peroxide. Pulsewise feeding of hydrogen peroxide continued the decolorizing reaction
catalyzed by lignin peroxidase. These results indicate that enzymatic decolorization of melanin has applications in the development
of new cosmetic whitening agents. 相似文献

Oxidative stress responses were tested in the unicellular cyanobacterium Synechococcus PCC 7942 (R2). Cells were exposed to hydrogen peroxide, cumene hydroperoxide and high light intensities. Activities of ascorbate peroxidase and catalase were correlated with the extent and time-course of oxidative stresses. Ascorbate peroxidase was found to be the major enzyme involved in the removal of hydrogen peroxide under the tested oxidative stresses. Catalase activity was inhibited in cells treated with high H2O2 concentrations, and was not induced under photo-oxidative stress. Regeneration of ascorbate in peroxide-treated cells was found to involve mainly monodehydroascorbate reductase and to a lesser extent dehydroascorbate reductase. The induction of the antioxidative enzymes was dependent on light and was inhibited by chloramphenicol. Peroxide treatment was found to induce the synthesis of eight proteins, four of which were also induced by heat shock.Abbreviations ASC

While ascorbate is an inhibitor of polyphenol oxidase upon its activity on tyrosine, hydrogen peroxide has a promoting effect especially in conjunction with catalase. When both ascorbate and peroxide are present, the effect of the former dominates over the latter. These influences can be explained on the basis of the redox potential of the solutions: high potentials promote, while low potentials decrease the rate of the oxidative enzyme reaction. The findings might have some implications on the process of aging of tissues. 相似文献

Vanadium haloperoxidases have been reported to mediate the oxidation of halides to hypohalous acid and the sulfoxidation of organic sulfides to the corresponding sulfoxides in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. However, traditional heme peroxidase substrates were reported not to be oxidized by vanadium haloperoxidases. Surprisingly, we have now found that the recombinant vanadium chloroperoxidase from the fungus Curvularia inaequalis catalyzes the oxidation of 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), a classical chromogenic heme peroxidase substrate. The enzyme mediates the oxidation of ABTS in the presence of hydrogen peroxide with a turnover frequency of 11 s(-1) at its pH optimum of 4.0. The Km of the recombinant enzyme for ABTS was observed to be approximately 35 microM at this pH value. In addition, the bleaching of an industrial sulfonated azo dye, Chicago Sky Blue 6B, catalyzed by the recombinant vanadium chloroperoxidase in the presence of hydrogen peroxide is reported. 相似文献

Inactivation of Ascorbate Peroxidase in Spinach Chloroplasts on Dark Addition of Hydrogen Peroxide: Its Protection by Ascorbate 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
Dark addition of hydrogen peroxide to intact spinach chloroplastsresulted in the inactivation of ascorbate peroxidase accompaniedby a decrease in ascorbate contents. This was also the casein reconstituted chloroplasts containing ascorbate, NADP+, NAD+and ferredoxin. The addition of hydrogen peroxide during light,however, showed little effect on ascorbate contents and ascorbateperoxidase activity in either the intact or reconstituted chloroplasts.In contrast to ascorbate peroxidase, the enzymes participatingin the regeneration of ascorbate in chloroplasts (monodehydroascorbatereductase, dehydroascorbate reductase and glutathione reductase)were not affected by the dark addition of hydrogen peroxide.Ascorbate contents increased again by illumination of the chloroplastsafter the dark addition of hydrogen peroxide. These resultsshow that the inactivation of the hydrogen peroxide scavengingsystem on dark addition of hydrogen peroxide [Anderson et al.(1983) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 724: 69, Asada and Badger (1984)Plant & Cell Physiol. 25: 1169] is caused by the loss ofascorbate peroxidase activity. Ascorbate peroxidase activitywas rapidly lost in ascorbate-depleted medium, and protectedby its electron donors, ascorbate, isoascorbate, guaiacol andpyrogallol, but not by GSH, NAD(P)H and ferredoxin.
