The selenium-independent inherent pro-oxidant NADPH oxidase activity of mammalian thioredoxin reductase and its selenium-dependent direct peroxidase activities.
Mammalian thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) is an NADPH-dependent homodimer with three redox-active centers per subunit: a FAD, an N-terminal domain dithiol (Cys(59)/Cys(64)), and a C-terminal cysteine/selenocysteine motif (Cys(497)/Sec(498)). TrxR has multiple roles in antioxidant defense. Opposing these functions, it may also assume a pro-oxidant role under some conditions. In the absence of its m...
متن کاملOptimization and determination of polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase activities in hot pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) pericarb
The activities of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD) in hot pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) pericarp were evaluated using spectrophotometric method. The enzymes were extracted from the pepper pericarp 5 g with 20 mL of 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution pH 7. PPO and POD activities were determined using catechol and guaiacol as a substrate, respectively. The effects of the amounts of enzyme...
متن کاملAnthocyanin content and the activities of polyphenol oxidase, peroxidase and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase in lettuce cultivars.
Anthocyanin content and the activities of polyphenol oxidase (PPO), peroxidase (POD) and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) and their relationships were determined in the leaves of six lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) cultivars, exposed for 6 weeks to alternating three different day/night temperatures. Anthocyanin content was found to be highest at 20/13°C, followed by 25/20°C and 30/25°C, showing ac...
متن کاملModeling Peroxidase-oxidase Interactions
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and peroxidase-oxidase (PO) reactions are Janus-faced contributors to cellular metabolism. At low concentrations, reactive oxygen species serve as signaling molecules; at high concentrations, as destroyers of proteins, lipids and DNA. Correspondingly, PO reactions are both sources and consumers of ROS. In the present paper, we study a well-tested model of the PO re...
متن کاملPeroxidase and cytochrome oxidase in rat tissues.
The presence of peroxidase in the uterus of the estrogeninjected ovariectomized rat and in the Walker carcinosarcoma No. 256 of rats has been reported previously (1, 2). In view of the fact that both these tissues undergo rapid proliferation, it was thought of interest to survey several other rat tissues to determine whether peroxidase might be generally associated with proliferation. Bancroft ...
