凤眼莲能够吸收和在体内聚集外源苯酚,体内的酸含量随着环境中酚浓度的上升而上升。从生长于合酚培养液中的凤眼莲体内能够检测到酚糖苷,说明凤眼莲体内有酚精苷转移酶的存在。浓度小于50mg/L的外源酚能提高凤眼莲体内的多酚氧化酶和过氧化物酶的活性。多酚氯化酶与过氧化物酶在线粒体和微粒体中均有不同程度的分布,而酚糖苷转移酶则不存在于这些细胞器中。 相似文献

荔枝果皮多酚氧化酶的研究 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
本文报告在荔枝果皮中有多酚氧化酶存在,但荔枝果皮提取液在经煮沸后仍有部分的氧化对苯二酚的活性。在 pH4.0—6.8范围内,酶活性以在 pH6.8中为最强。此酶对邻苯二酚及对苯二酚均起氧化作用,但不能氧化间苯二酚及一元酚(对-甲酚和酪氨酸)。故从基质特异性来看,荔枝果皮的多酚氧化酶与漆酶相类似。抑制剂如硫脲及二乙胺基二硫代甲酸钠对荔枝果皮多酚氧化酶具有特殊的作用。硫脲对白蜡子荔枝果皮多酚氧化酶只呈暂时的抑制作用,以后抑制作用逐渐消失并转为促进作用,抑制时间及促进程度随浓度而异。硫脲对淮枝荔枝果皮多酚氧化酶则不呈抑制而只呈促进作用。低浓度(0.2mu)的二乙胺基二硫代甲酸钠对荔枝果皮多酚氧化酶呈抑制作用,但高浓度(2,4mM)则有强烈的促进作用。 相似文献

凤眼莲与其根际细菌相互作用的研究 总被引:6,自引:2,他引:4
凤眼莲及其根际细菌的相互关系明显地受营养条件的影响,生长在含糖培养基中的凤眼莲根分泌物不改变其根际细菌的生长动态,但在含酚和无机营养条件下生长的凤眼莲根分泌物分别使其根际细菌出现2次和3次增长;而且在含酚环境中,根际细菌对凤眼莲表现出更为强烈的根际效应.细菌的代谢产物能提高凤眼莲体内的多酚氧化酶的活性,却抑制过氧化物酶的活性和减少其体内酚的富集量;然而接菌后的凤眼莲,其体内多酚氧化酶和过氧化物酶同时得到激活,且酚富集量增加. 相似文献

The Alternative Oxidase: in vivo Regulation and Function 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Abstract: This review focuses on the biochemical regulation and function of the alternative oxidase in vivo. About 10 years ago, two activation mechanisms were discovered in isolated mitochondria, namely activation by reducing sulfur bonds in the protein and activation by an allosteric effect of pyruvate. It was proposed that plants would have a regulatory mechanism to modify alternative oxidase activity in vivo. However, more recent studies have shown that these two activation mechanisms may not play such an important role in regulation of alternative oxidase activity in vivo after all. Pyruvate and reduction of the sulfide bonds in the protein are definitely required for alternative oxidase activity, but they do not appear to be regulating the activity in vivo.
Despite the energy wasting nature of the alternative oxidase, there was no obvious physiological function for the pathway for many years. It is now more clear that the alternative oxidase can prevent the production of excess reactive oxygen species radicals by stabilizing the redox state of the mitochondrial ubiquinone pool, while allowing continued activity of the citric acid cycle. This may be important under conditions when the NADH supply is relatively high (reductant overflow), or when the cytochrome pathway is restrained. The cytochrome pathway might be inhibited by naturally occurring cyanide, nitric oxide, sulfide, high concentrations of CO2 , low temperatures, or by limited phosphate supply. 相似文献

It has recently become evident that many bacterial respiratory oxidases are members of a superfamily that is related to the eukaryotic cytochrome c oxidase. These oxidases catalyze the reduction of oxygen to water at a heme-copper binuclear center. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has been used to examine the heme-copper-containing respiratory oxidases of Rhodobacter sphaeroides Ga. This technique monitors the stretching frequency of CO bound at the oxygen binding site and can be used to characterize the oxidases in situ with membrane preparations. Oxidases that have a heme-copper binuclear center are recognizable by FTIR spectroscopy because the bound CO moves from the heme iron to the nearby copper upon photolysis at low temperature, where it exhibits a diagnostic spectrum. The FTIR spectra indicate that the binuclear center of the R. sphaeroides aa3-type cytochrome c oxidase is remarkably similar to that of the bovine mitochondrial oxidase. Upon deletion of the ctaD gene, encoding subunit I of the aa3-type oxidase, substantial cytochrome c oxidase remains in the membranes of aerobically grown R. sphaeroides. This correlates with a second wild-type R. sphaeroides is grown photosynthetically, the chromatophore membranes lack the aa3-type oxidase but have this second heme-copper oxidase. Subunit I of the heme-copper oxidase superfamily contains the binuclear center. Amino acid sequence alignments show that this subunit is structurally very highly conserved among both eukaryotic and prokaryotic species. The polymerase chain reaction was used to show that the chromosome of R. sphaeroides contains at least one other gene that is a homolog of ctaD, the gene encoding subunit I of the aa3-type cytochrome c oxidase.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Monoamine oxidase inhibitors were among the first antidepressants to be discovered and have long been used as such. It now seems that many of these agents might have therapeutic value in several common neurodegenerative conditions, independently of their inhibition of monoamine oxidase activity. However, many claims and some counter-claims have been made about the physiological importance of these enzymes and the potential of their inhibitors. We evaluate these arguments in the light of what we know, and still have to learn, of the structure, function and genetics of the monoamine oxidases and the disparate actions of their inhibitors. 相似文献

Gene response upon illumination in forming mRNA encoding peroxisomal glycollate oxidase 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Glycollate oxidase is a constituent of leaf peroxisomes. Its biosynthesis is, like the biosynthesis of many chloroplastic proteins, controlled by light, via phytochrome. The level of mRNA coding for glycollate oxidase was determined at different stages of greening of etiolated plant cells. The appearance of glycollate oxidase mRNA in the cytoplasm was measured by hybridization with cDNA containing part of the coding sequence for glycollate oxidase. cDNA was prepared from enriched mRNA, inserted into the Pst I site of pBR 322, and cloned in Escherichia coli DH-1. By differential colony hybridization and hybrid selection, a clone containing a 670 bp sequence complementary to mRNA encoding glycollate oxidase was selected and identified. Northern blot hybridization was used to investigate mRNA levels induced by light. It was found that continuous light affected the formation of glycollate oxidase mRNA. When a large population of microbodies was present in the cells being induced, the immediate mRNA increase was very pronounced, and was detectable as little as 20 min after the beginning of the light treatment. In contrast, a lag period in the mRNA increase was observed when the induction was performed with etiolated leaves which are characterized by the occurrence of a rather small population of microbodies. For comparison, we measured the time-course of formation of mRNA coding for a light-induced chloroplastic protein, i.e., a protein of the light-harvesting complex. The time-courses of levels of the two mRNAs indicate that the program of gene expression differs between the two particular proteins destined either for chloroplasts or for peroxisomes. The formation of glycollate oxidase mRNA could also be stimulated by a short pulse of light, a treatment of 15 s being a sufficient trigger. 相似文献

The complexes of NO with CuB of cytochrome c oxidase in which cytochrome a3 may or may not be ligated to cyanide or fluoride are photodissociable. NO does not appear to react with CuB in complexes of cytochrome c oxidase in which sulphide or mercaptans are ligated to the haem iron of cytochrome a3. A comparison is made between the photoreactivity of the complexes of NO with cytochrome c oxidase and those with ceruloplasmin, ascorbate oxidase, and haemocyanin. It is shown that the photoreactivity of CuB 2+.NO in cytochrome c oxidase is not unique for this enzyme, but may also be observed in the complexes of NO with type-1 copper-containing enzymes. This would suggest that the ligation of CuB in cytochrome c oxidase shows some similarity to type-1 copper in blue oxidases. 相似文献

Protoporphyrinogen oxidase, an enzyme which catalyzes the oxidation of protoporphyrinogen IX to protoporphyrin IX in yeast cells, has been found in several mammalian tissues. It has been extracted from rat liver mitochondria by sonication in the presence of salt and detergent and partially purified. The enzyme is similar in many respects to yeast protoporphyrinogen oxidase. Based on its behavior on Sephadex G-200 the molecular weight of the enzyme is approximately 35,000. Catalysis by protoporphyrinogen oxidase was specific for proteoporphyrinogen IX (apparent Km of 11 muM) and proceeded maximally at pH 8.6 to 8.7. The effect of temperature on enzyme activity plotted according to Arrhenius gave a value of E of 9,100 calories per mol. Enzyme activity was inhibited in the presence of high salt concentrations and temperatures above 45 degrees. Oxygen was essential for protoporphyrinogen oxidase activity and an alternative elevtron acceptor has not yet been found. No requirement for a metal or other cofactor could be demonstrated. The presence of monothiol groups was indicated; however, it is not known whether the thiol groups are involved directly in the binding of substrate to the enzyme. 相似文献

Quantitation of cytochromecoxidase in complex systems such as tissue homogenates is often hampered by the presence of other hemoproteins. Cyanide can bind to reduced cytochromecoxidase from diverse sources with a dissociation constant in the range of 0.1–0.5 mM and induces a characteristic optical change. This contrasts with the very weak binding of cyanide to reduced forms of many other hemoproteins, including hemoglobin and myoglobin. Hence, difference spectra of cyanide binding to reduced samples can provide an improved method to resolve and quantitate cytochromecoxidase. In addition, the cyanide compound of cytochromecoxidase is photolabile. This property can be exploited to further enhance the sensitivity of detection and analysis of cytochromecoxidase. 相似文献

It is generally accepted that cytokinin oxidases, which oxidatively remove cytokinin side chains to produce adenine and the corresponding isopentenyl aldehyde, play a major role in regulating cytokinin levels in planta. Partially purified fractions of cytokinin oxidase from various species have been studied for many years, but have yet to clearly reveal the properties of the enzyme or to define its biological significance. Details of the genomic organization of the recently isolated maize (Zea mays) cytokinin oxidase gene (ckx1) and some of its Arabidopsis homologs are now presented. Expression of an intronless ckx1 in Pichia pastoris allowed production of large amounts of recombinant cytokinin oxidase and facilitated detailed kinetic and cofactor analysis and comparison with the native enzyme. The enzyme is a flavoprotein containing covalently bound flavin adenine dinucleotide, but no detectable heavy metals. Expression of the oxidase in maize tissues is described. 相似文献
