The kinetics and spectra of the reactions of clozapine with compounds I and II of myeloperoxidase were investigated using both single- and sequential-mixing stopped-flow techniques, steady-state kinetics, and spectrophotometric measurements. The results show conclusively that both compounds I and II are reduced in one-electron reactions with clozapine. At pH 7.0 the rate constant for compound I reacting with clozapine is (1.5 +/- 0.1) x 10(6) M(-1) s(-1) and for compound II (4.8 +/- 0.1) x 10(4) M(-1) s(-1). The physiological pH of 7.4 was found to be optimal for the oxidation of clozapine by compound I. The rate constant for compound I reacting with ascorbate is (1.1 +/- 0.1) x 10(6) M(-1) s(-1) and for compound II (1.1 +/- 0.2) x 10(4) M(-1) s(-1), both obtained at pH 7.0. Experiments with both clozapine and ascorbate present showed that ascorbate acts both as a competitive inhibitor and free radical scavenger.  相似文献

Recently, it was suggested that melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is oxidized by activated neutrophils in a reaction most probably involving myeloperoxidase (Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. (2000) 279, 657-662). Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is the most abundant protein of neutrophils and is involved in killing invading pathogens. To clarify if melatonin is a substrate of MPO, we investigated the oxidation of melatonin by its redox intermediates compounds I and II using transient-state spectral and kinetic measurements at 25 degrees C. Spectral and kinetic analysis revealed that both compound I and compound II oxidize melatonin via one-electron processes. The second-order rate constant measured for compound I reduction at pH 7 and pH 5 are (6.1 +/- 0.2) x 10(6) M(-1) s(-1) and (1.0 +/- 0.08) x 10(7) M(-1) s(-1), respectively. The rates for the one-electron reduction of compound II back to the ferric enzyme are (9.6 +/- 0.3) x 10(2) M(-1) s(-1) (pH 7) and (2.2 +/- 0.1) x 10(3) M(-1) s(-1) (pH 5). Thus, melatonin is a much better electron donor for compound I than for compound II. Steady-state experiments showed that the rate of oxidation of melatonin is dependent on the H(2)O(2) concentration, is not affected by superoxide dismutase, and is quickly terminated by sodium cyanide. Melatonin can markedly inhibit the chlorinating activity of MPO at both pH 7 and pH 5. The implication of these findings in the activated neutrophil is discussed.  相似文献

Nitric oxide-derived oxidants (e.g., peroxynitrite) are believed to participate in antimicrobial activities as part of normal host defenses but also in oxidative tissue injury in inflammatory disorders. A similar role is ascribed to the heme enzyme myeloperoxidase (MPO), the most abundant protein of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, which are the terminal phagocytosing effector cells of the innate immune system. Concomitant production of peroxynitrite and release of millimolar MPO are characteristic events during phagocytosis. In order to understand the mode of interaction between MPO and peroxynitrite, we have performed a comprehensive stopped-flow investigation of the reaction between all physiological relevant redox intermediates of MPO and peroxynitrite. Both iron(III) MPO and iron(II) MPO are rapidly converted to compound II by peroxynitrite in monophasic reactions with calculated rate constants of (6.8+/-0.1) x 10(6) M(-1)s(-1) and (1.3+/-0.2) x 10(6) M(-1)s(-1), respectively (pH 7.0 and 25 degrees C). Besides these one- and two-electron reduction reactions of peroxynitrite, which produce nitrogen dioxide and nitrite, a one-electron oxidation to the oxoperoxonitrogen radical must occur in the fast monophasic transition of compound I to compound II mediated by peroxynitrite at pH 7.0 [(7.6+/-0.1) x 10(6) M(-1)s(-1)]. In addition, peroxynitrite induced a steady-state transition from compound III to compound II with a rate of (1.0+/-0.3) x 10(4) M(-1)s(-1). Thus, the interconversion among the various oxidation states of MPO that is prompted by peroxynitrite is remarkable. Reaction mechanisms are proposed and the physiological relevance is discussed.  相似文献

Mechanism of reaction of myeloperoxidase with nitrite   总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10  
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a major neutrophil protein and may be involved in the nitration of tyrosine residues observed in a wide range of inflammatory diseases that involve neutrophils and macrophage activation. In order to clarify if nitrite could be a physiological substrate of myeloperoxidase, we investigated the reactions of the ferric enzyme and its redox intermediates, compound I and compound II, with nitrite under pre-steady state conditions by using sequential mixing stopped-flow analysis in the pH range 4-8. At 15 degrees C the rate of formation of the low spin MPO-nitrite complex is (2.5 +/- 0.2) x 10(4) m(-1) s(-1) at pH 7 and (2.2 +/- 0.7) x 10(6) m(-1) s(-1) at pH 5. The dissociation constant of nitrite bound to the native enzyme is 2.3 +/- 0.1 mm at pH 7 and 31.3 +/- 0.5 micrometer at pH 5. Nitrite is oxidized by two one-electron steps in the MPO peroxidase cycle. The second-order rate constant of reduction of compound I to compound II at 15 degrees C is (2.0 +/- 0.2) x 10(6) m(-1) s(-1) at pH 7 and (1.1 +/- 0.2) x 10(7) m(-1) s(-1) at pH 5. The rate constant of reduction of compound II to the ferric native enzyme at 15 degrees C is (5.5 +/- 0.1) x 10(2) m(-1) s(-1) at pH 7 and (8.9 +/- 1.6) x 10(4) m(-1) s(-1) at pH 5. pH dependence studies suggest that both complex formation between the ferric enzyme and nitrite and nitrite oxidation by compounds I and II are controlled by a residue with a pK(a) of (4.3 +/- 0.3). Protonation of this group (which is most likely the distal histidine) is necessary for optimum nitrite binding and oxidation.  相似文献

Eosinophil peroxidase, the major granule protein in eosinophils, is the least studied human peroxidase. Here, we have performed spectral and kinetic measurements to study the nature of eosinophil peroxidase intermediates, compounds I and II, and their reduction by the endogenous one-electron donors ascorbate and tyrosine using the sequential-mixing stopped-flow technique. We demonstrate that the peroxidase cycle of eosinophil peroxidase involves a ferryl/porphyrin radical compound I and a ferryl compound II. In the absence of electron donors, compound I is shown to be transformed to a species with a compound II-like spectrum. In the presence of ascorbate or tyrosine compound I is reduced to compound II with a second-order rate constant of (1.0+/-0.2)x10(6) M(-1) s(-1) and (3.5+/-0.2)x10(5) M(-1) s(-1), respectively (pH 7.0, 15 degrees C). Compound II is then reduced by ascorbate and tyrosine to native enzyme with a second-order rate constant of (6.7+/-0.06)x10(3) M(-1) s(-1) and (2.7+/-0.06)x10(4) M(-1) s(-1), respectively. This study revealed that eosinophil peroxidase compounds I and II are able to react with tyrosine and ascorbate via one-electron oxidations and therefore generate monodehydroascorbate and tyrosyl radicals. The relatively fast rates of the compound I reduction demonstrate that these reactions may take place in vivo and are physiologically relevant.  相似文献

Compound I of peroxidases takes part in both the peroxidation and the halogenation reaction. This study for the first time presents transient kinetic measurements of the formation of compound I of human eosinophil peroxidase (EPO) and its reaction with halides and thiocyanate, using the sequential-mixing stopped-flow technique. Addition of 1 equiv of hydrogen peroxide to native EPO leads to complete formation of compound I. At pH 7 and 15 degrees C, the apparent second-order rate constant is (4.3 +/- 0.4) x 10(7) M(-1) s(-1). The rate for compound I formation by hypochlorous acid is (5.6 +/- 0.7) x 10(7) M(-1) s(-1). EPO compound I is unstable and decays to a stable intermediate with a compound II-like spectrum. At pH 7, the two-electron reduction of compound I to the native enzyme by thiocyanate has a second-order rate constant of (1.0 +/- 0. 5) x 10(8) M(-1) s(-1). Iodide [(9.3 +/- 0.7) x 10(7) M(-1) s(-1)] is shown to be a better electron donor than bromide [(1.9 +/- 0.1) x 10(7) M(-1) s(-1)], whereas chloride oxidation by EPO compound I is extremely slow [(3.1 +/- 0.3) x 10(3) M(-1) s(-1)]. The pH dependence studies suggest that a protonated form of compound I is more competent in oxidizing the anions. The results are discussed in comparison with those of the homologous peroxidases myeloperoxidase and lactoperoxidase and with respect to the role of EPO in host defense and tissue injury.  相似文献

Myeloperoxidase is very susceptible to reducing radicals because the reduction potential of the ferric/ferrous redox couple is much higher compared with other peroxidases. Semiquinone radicals are known to reduce heme proteins. Therefore, the kinetics and spectra of the reactions of p-hydroquinone, 2,3-dimethylhydroquinone and 2,3,5-trimethylhydroquinone with compounds I and II were investigated using both sequential-mixing stopped-flow techniques and conventional spectrophotometric measurements. At pH 7 and 15 degrees C the rate constants for compound I reacting with p-hydroquinone, 2,3-dimethylhydroquinone and 2,3,5-trimethylhydroquinone were determined to be 5.6+/-0.4 x 10(7) M(-1)s(-1), 1.3+/-0.1 x 10(6) M(-1)s(-1) and 3.1+/-0.3 x 10(6) M(-1)s(-1), respectively. The corresponding reaction rates for compound II reduction were calculated to be 4.5+/-0.3 x 10(6) M(-1)s(-1), 1.9+/-0.1 x 10(5) M(-1)s(-1) and 4.5+/-0.2 x 10(4) M(-1)s(-1), respectively. Semiquinone radicals, produced by compounds I and II in the classical peroxidation cycle, promote compound III (oxymyeloperoxidase) formation. We could monitor formation of ferrous myeloperoxidase as well as its direct transition to compound II by addition of molecular oxygen. Formation of ferrous myeloperoxidase is shown to depend strongly on the reduction potential of the corresponding redox couple benzoquinone/semiquinone. With 2,3-dimethylhydroquinone and 2,3,5-trimethylhydroquinone as substrate, myeloperoxidase is extremely quickly trapped as compound III. These MPO-typical features could have potential in designing specific drugs which inhibit the production of hypochlorous acid and consequently attenuate inflammatory tissue damage.  相似文献

Lactoperoxidase (LPO) is found in mucosal surfaces and exocrine secretions including milk, tears, and saliva and has physiological significance in antimicrobial defense which involves (pseudo-)halide oxidation. LPO compound III (a ferrous-dioxygen complex) is known to be formed rapidly by an excess of hydrogen peroxide and could participate in the observed catalase-like activity of LPO. The present anaerobic stopped-flow kinetic analysis was performed in order to elucidate the catalytic mechanism of LPO and the kinetics of compound III formation by probing the reactivity of ferrous LPO with hydrogen peroxide and molecular oxygen. It is shown that ferrous LPO heterolytically cleaves hydrogen peroxide forming water and oxyferryl LPO (compound II). The two-electron oxidation reaction follows second-order kinetics with the apparent bimolecular rate constant being (7.2+/-0.3) x 10(4) M(-1) s(-1) at pH 7.0 and 25 degrees C. The H2O2-mediated conversion of compound II to compound III follows also second-order kinetics (220 M(-1) s(-1) at pH 7.0 and 25 degrees C). Alternatively, compound III is also formed by dioxygen binding to ferrous LPO at an apparent bimolecular rate constant of (1.8+/-0.2) x 10(5) M(-1) s(-1). Dioxygen binding is reversible and at pH 7.0 the dissociation constant (K(D)) of the oxyferrous form is 6 microM. The rate constant of dioxygen dissociation from compound III is higher than conversion of compound III to ferric LPO, which is not affected by the oxygen concentration and follows a biphasic kinetics. A reaction cycle including the redox intermediates compound II, compound III, and ferrous LPO is proposed, which explains the observed (pseudo-)catalase activity of LPO in the absence of one-electron donors. The relevance of these findings in LPO catalysis is discussed.  相似文献

Spectral and kinetic features of the redox intermediates of human recombinant unprocessed monomeric myeloperoxidase (recMPO), purified from an engineered Chinese hamster ovary cell line, were studied by the multi-mixing stopped-flow technique. Both the ferric protein and compounds I and II showed essentially the same kinetic behavior as the mature dimeric protein (MPO) isolated from polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Firstly, hydrogen peroxide mediated both oxidation of ferric recMPO to compound I (1.9 x 10(7) M(-1) s(-1), pH 7 and 15 degrees C) and reduction of compound I to compound II (3.0 x 10(4) M(-1) s(-1), pH 7 and 15 degrees C). With chloride, bromide, iodide and thiocyanate compound I was reduced back to the ferric enzyme (3.6 x 10(4) M(-1) s(-1), 1.4 x 10(6) M(-1) s(-1), 1.4 x 10(7) M(-1) s(-1) and 1.4 x 10(7) M(-1) s(-1), respectively), whereas the endogenous one-electron donor ascorbate mediated transformation of compound I to compound II (2.3 x 10(5) M(-1) s(-1)) and of compound II back to the resting enzyme (5.0 x 10(3) M(-1) s(-1)). Comparing the data of this study with those known from the mature enzyme strongly suggests that the processing of the precursor enzyme (recMPO) into the mature form occurs without structural changes at the active site and that the subunits in the mature dimeric enzyme work independently.  相似文献

The Reaction Rates of NO with Horseradish Peroxidase Compounds I and II   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
In this study the reactions between nitric oxide (NO) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) compounds I and II were investigated. The reaction between compound I and NO has biphasic kinetics with a clearly dominant initial fast phase and an apparent second-order rate constant of (7.0 +/- 0.3) x 10(5) M(-1) s(-1) for the fast phase. The reaction of compound II and NO was found to have an apparent second-order rate constant of k(app) = (1.3 +/- 0.1) x 10(6) M(-1) s(-1) or (7.4 +/- 0.7) x 10(5) M(-1) s(-1) when measured at 409 nm (the isosbestic point between HRP and HRP-NO) and 419 nm (lambda(max) of compound II and HRP-NO), respectively. Interestingly, the reaction of compound II with NO is unusually high relative to that of compound I, which is usually the much faster reaction. Since horseradish peroxidase is prototypical of mammalian peroxidases with respect to the oxidation of small substrates, these results may have important implications regarding the lifetime and biochemistry of NO in vivo after inflammation where both NO and H(2)O(2) generation are increased several fold.  相似文献

Bifunctional catalase-peroxidases are the least understood type of peroxidases. A high-level expression in Escherichia coli of a fully active recombinant form of a catalase-peroxidase (KatG) from the cyanobacterium Anacystis nidulans (Synechococcus PCC 6301) is reported. Since both physical and kinetic characterization revealed its identity with the wild-type protein, the large quantities of recombinant KatG allowed the examination of both the spectral characteristics and the reactivity of its redox intermediates by using the multi-mixing stopped-flow technique. The homodimeric acidic protein (pI = 4.6) contained high catalase activity (apparent K(m) = 4.8 mM and apparent k(cat) = 8850 s(-1)). Cyanide is shown to be an effective inhibitor of the catalase reaction. The second-order rate constant for cyanide binding to the ferric protein is (6.9 +/- 0.2) x 10(5) M(-1 )s(-1) at pH 7.0 and 15 degrees C and the dissociation constant of the cyanide complex is 17 microM. Because of the overwhelming catalase activity, peroxoacetic acid has been used for compound I formation. The apparent second-order rate constant for formation of compound I from the ferric enzyme and peroxoacetic acid is (1.3 +/- 0.3) x 10(4 )M(-1 )s(-1) at pH 7.0 and 15 degrees C. The spectrum of compound I is characterized by about 40% hypochromicity, a Soret region at 406 nm, and isosbestic points between the native enzyme and compound I at 355 and 428 nm. Rate constants for reduction of KatG compound I by o-dianisidine, pyrogallol, aniline and isoniazid are shown to be (7.3 +/- 0.4) x 10(6) M(-1 )s(-1), (5.4 +/- 0.3) x 10(5) M(-1 )s(-1), (1.6 +/- 0.3) x 10(5) M(-1 )s(-1) and (4.3 +/- 0.2) x 10(4) M(-1 )s(-1), respectively. The redox intermediate formed upon reduction of compound I did not exhibit the classical red-shifted peroxidase compound II spectrum which characterizes the presence of a ferryl oxygen species. Its spectral features indicate that the single oxidizing equivalent in KatG compound II is contained on an amino acid which is not electronically coupled to the heme.  相似文献

The neutrophil enzyme myeloperoxidase catalyzes the oxidation of tyrosine to tyrosyl radicals, which cross-link to proteins and initiate lipid peroxidation. Tryptophan is present in plasma at about the same concentration as tyrosine and has a similar one-electron reduction potential. In this investigation, we have determined the ability of myeloperoxidase to catalyze the oxidation of tryptophan to assess whether or not this reaction may contribute to oxidative stress at sites of inflammation. We show that tryptophan is a poor substrate for myeloperoxidase because, even though it reacts rapidly with compound I (kI 2.1 x 10(6) M(-1)s(-1)), it reacts sluggishly with compound II (kII 7 M(-1)s(-1)). Tryptophan reversibly inhibited production of hypochlorous acid by purified myeloperoxidase by converting the enzyme to a mixture of compound II and compound III. It gave 50% inhibition (I50) at a concentration of 2 microM. In contrast, it was an ineffective inhibitor of hypochlorous acid production by human neutrophils (I50 80 microM) unless superoxide dismutase was present (I50 5 microM). We propose that compound I of myeloperoxidase will oxidize tryptophan at sites of inflammation. Enzyme turnover will result from the reaction of superoxide or tyrosine with compound II. Thus, tryptophan radicals are potential candidates for exacerbating oxidative stress during inflammation.  相似文献

Peroxidase from soybean seed coat (SBP) has properties that makes it particularly suited for practical applications. Therefore, it is essential to know its fundamental enzymatic properties. Stopped-flow techniques were used to investigate the pH dependence of the reaction of SBP and hydrogen peroxide. The reaction is linearly dependent on hydrogen peroxide concentration at acidic and neutral pH with the second order rate constant k(1)=2.0x10(7) M(-1) s(-1), pH 4-8. From pH 9.3 to 10.2 the reaction is biphasic, a novel observation for a peroxidase at alkaline pH. A fast reaction has the characteristics of the reaction at neutral pH, and a slow reaction shows hyperbolic dependence on hydrogen peroxide concentration. At pH >10.5 only the slow reaction is seen. The shift in mechanism is coincident with the change in haem iron co-ordination to a six-coordinate low spin hydroxy ligated alkaline form. The pK(a) value for the alkaline transition was observed at 9.7+/-0.1, 9.6+/-0.1 and 9.9+/-0.2 by spectrophotometric titration, the fast phase amplitude, and decrease in the apparent second order rate constant, respectively. An acidic pK(a) at 3.2+/-0.3 was also determined from the apparent second order rate constant. The reactions of soybean peroxidase compounds I and II with veratryl alcohol at pH 2.44 give very similar second order rate constants, k(2)=(2.5+/-0.1)x10(4) M(-1) s(-1) and k(3)=(2.2+/-0.1)x10(4) M(-1) s(-1), respectively, which is unusual. The electronic absorption spectra of compounds I, II and III at pH 7.07 show characteristic bands at 400 and 651 nm (compound I), 416, 527 and 555 nm (compound II), and 414, 541 and 576 nm (compound III). No additional intermediates were observed.  相似文献

Capsaicinoids are the pungent compounds in Capsicum fruits (i.e., "hot" peppers). Peroxidases catalyze capsaicinoid oxidation and may play a central role in their metabolism. However, key kinetic aspects of peroxidase-catalyzed capsaicinoid oxidation remain unresolved. Using transient-state methods, we evaluated horseradish peroxidase compound I and II reduction by two prominent capsaicinoids (25 degrees C, pH 7.0). We determined rate constants approaching 2 x 10(7) and 5 x 10(5)M(-1)s(-1) for compound I and compound II reduction, respectively. We also determined k(app) values for steady-state capsaicinoid oxidation approaching 8 x 10(5)M(-1)s(-1) (25 degrees C, pH 7.0). Accounting for stoichiometry, these are in excellent agreement with constants for compound II reduction, suggesting that this reaction governs capsaicinoid-dependent peroxidase turnover. Ascorbate rapidly reduced capsaicinoid radicals, assisting in the determination of the kinetic constants reported. Because ascorbate accumulates in Capsicum fruits, it may also be an important determinant for capsaicinoid content and preservation in Capsicum fruits and related products.  相似文献

Reaction of lactoperoxidase compound I with halides and thiocyanate   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Lactoperoxidase (LPO) is found in mucosal surfaces and exocrine secretions, including milk, tears, and saliva, and has physiological significance in antimicrobial defense which involves (pseudo-) halide oxidation. This study for the first time presents transient kinetic measurements of the reactivity of its competent redox intermediate compound I with halides and thiocyanate, using the sequential stopped-flow technique. Compound I was produced with either H(2)O(2) [(1.1 +/- 0.1) x 10(7) M(-1) s(-1)] or hypochlorous acid [(3.2 +/- 0.1) x 10(7) M(-1) (s-1)]. At pH 7 and 15 degrees C, the two-electron reduction of compound I to native LPO by bromide and iodide has a second-order rate constant of (4.1 +/- 0.1) x 10(4) M(-1) s(-1) and (1.2 +/- 0.04) x 10(8) M(-1) s(-1), respectively. With thiocyanate the reaction is extremely fast (2.0 x 10(8) M(-1) s(-1)), whereas chloride cannot function as electron donor. The results are discussed with respect to known kinetic data of homologous mammalian peroxidases and to the physiological role of LPO in antimicrobial defense.  相似文献

A high-level expression in Escherichia coli of a fully active recombinant form of a catalase-peroxidase (KatG) from the cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC 6803 is reported. Since both physical and kinetic characterization revealed its identity with the wild-type protein, the large quantities of recombinant KatG allowed the first examination of second-order rate constants for the oxidation of a series of aromatic donor molecules (monosubstituted phenols and anilines) by a bifunctional catalase-peroxidase compound I using the sequential-mixing stopped-flow technique. Because of the overwhelming catalase activity, peroxoacetic acid has been used for compound I formation. A >/=50-fold excess of peroxoacetic acid is required to obtain a spectrum of relatively pure and stable compound I which is characterized by about 40% hypochromicity, a Soret maximum at 406 nm, and isosbestic points between the native enzyme and compound I at 357 and 430 nm. The apparent second-order rate constant for formation of compound I from ferric enzyme and peroxoacetic acid is (8.74 +/- 0.26) x 10(3) M(-)(1) s(-)(1) at pH 7. 0. Reduction of compound I by aromatic donor molecules is dependent upon the substituent effect on the benzene ring. The apparent second-order rate constants varied from (3.6 +/- 0.1) x 10(6) M(-)(1) s(-)(1) for p-hydroxyaniline to (5.0 +/- 0.1) x 10(2) M(-)(1) s(-)(1) for p-hydroxybenzenesulfonic acid. They are shown to correlate with the substituent constants in the Hammett equation, which suggests that in bifunctional catalase-peroxidases the aromatic donor molecule donates an electron to compound I and loses a proton simultaneously. The value of rho, the susceptibility factor in the Hammett equation, is -3.4 +/- 0.4 for the phenols and -5.1 +/- 0.8 for the anilines. The pH dependence of compound I reduction by aniline exhibits a relatively sharp maximum at pH 5. The redox intermediate formed upon reduction of compound I has spectral features which indicate that the single oxidizing equivalent in KatG compound II is contained on an amino acid which is not electronically coupled to the heme.  相似文献

Ascorbic acid is known to stimulate leukocyte functions. In a recent publication it was suggested that the role of ascorbic acid is to reduce compound II of myeloperoxidase back to the native enzyme (Bolscher, B. G. J. M., Zoutberg, G. R., Cuperus, R. A., and Wever, R. (1984) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 784, 189-191). In this paper we report rapid spectral scan and transient state kinetic results on the reaction of three myeloperoxidase compounds II, namely, human neutrophil myeloperoxidase, canine myeloperoxidase, and bovine spleen heme protein with ascorbate. We show by rapid scan spectra that compound II does not pass through any other intermediate when ascorbic acid reduces it back to native form. We also show that the reactions of all three compounds II involve a simple binding interaction before enzyme reduction with an apparent dissociation constant of 6.3 +/- 0.9 x 10(-4) to 2.0 +/- 0.3 x 10(-3)M and a first-order rate constant for reduction of 12.6 +/- 0.6 to 18.8 +/- 1.3 s-1. The optimum pH is 4.5, and at this pH the activation energy for the reaction is 13.2 kJ mol-1. Results of this work lend further evidence that the spleen green heme protein is very similar if not identical to leukocyte myeloperoxidase based on a comparison of spectral scans, pH-rate profiles, and kinetic parameters. We demonstrate that chloride cannot reduce compound II whereas iodide reduces compound II to native enzyme at a rate comparable to that of ascorbate. This explains why ascorbate accelerates chlorination but inhibits iodination. Formation of compound II is a dead end for the generation of hypochlorous acid; ascorbate regenerates more native enzyme to enhance the chlorination reaction namely: myeloperoxidase + peroxide----compound I followed by compound I + chloride----HOCl. On the other hand, ascorbate is a competitor with iodide for both compounds I and II and so inhibits iodination.  相似文献

It is demonstrated that horseradish peroxidase (HRP) mixed with chlorite follows the whole peroxidase cycle. Chlorite mediates the two-electron oxidation of ferric HRP to compound I (k(1)) thereby releasing hypochlorous acid. Furthermore, chlorite acts as one-electron reductant of both compound I (k(2)) and compound II (k(3)) forming chlorine dioxide. The strong pH-dependence of all three reactions clearly suggests that chlorous acid is the reactive species. Typical apparent bimolecular rate constants at pH 5.6 are 1.4 x 10(5)M(-1)s(-1) (k(1)), 2.25 x 10(5)M(-1)s(-1) (k(2)), and 2.4 x 10(4)M(-1)s(-1) (k(3)), respectively. Moreover, the reaction products hypochlorous acid and chlorine dioxide, which are known to induce heme bleaching and amino acid modification upon longer incubation times, also mediate the oxidation of ferric HRP to compound I (2.4 x 10(7)M(-1)s(-1) and 2.7 x 10(4)M(-1)s(-1), respectively, pH 5.6) but do not react with compounds I and II. A reaction scheme is presented and discussed from both a mechanistic and thermodynamic point of view. It helps to explain the origin of contradictory data so far found in the literature on this topic.  相似文献

The reactions of lactoperoxidase (LPO) intermediates compound I, compound II and compound III, with nitrite (NO2(-)) were investigated. Reduction of compound I by NO2(-) was rapid (k2 = 2.3 x 10(7) M(-1) x s(-1); pH = 7.2) and compound II was not an intermediate, indicating that NO2* radicals are not produced when NO2(-) reacts with compound I. The second-order rate constant for the reaction of compound II with NO2(-) at pH = 7.2 was 3.5 x 10(5) M(-1) x s(-1). The reaction of compound III with NO2(-) exhibited saturation behaviour when the observed pseudo first-order rate constants were plotted against NO2(-) concentrations and could be quantitatively explained by the formation of a 1 : 1 ratio compound III/NO2(-) complex. The Km of compound III for NO2(-) was 1.7 x 10(-4) M and the first-order decay constant of the compound III/ NO2(-) complex was 12.5 +/- 0.6 s(-1). The second-order rate constant for the reaction of the complex with NO2(-) was 3.3 x 10(3) M(-1) x s(-1). Rate enhancement by NO2(-) does not require NO2* as a redox intermediate. NO2(-) accelerates the overall rate of catalysis by reducing compound II to the ferric state. With increasing levels of H2O2, there is an increased tendency for the catalytically dead-end intermediate compound III to form. Under these conditions, the 'rescue' reaction of NO2(-) with compound III to form compound II will maintain the peroxidatic cycle of the enzyme.  相似文献

The one-electron oxidation of horseradish peroxidase compound II to compound I by sodium periodate was observed. The bimolecular rate constant for the NaIO4--compound II interaction is equal to 9.5 +/- 1 x 10(-3) M-1s-1 at room temperature. Irradiation, using ultraviolet light, of the solution containing compound II and persulfate in the presence of bicarbonate, chloride, or bromide, leads ot the fast accumulation of compound I due to the oxidative action of SO4, CO3, Cl2, and Br2 anion radicals, which are products of the photolysis.  相似文献
