1. The conditions under which peroxisomal preparations from leaves of spinach beet and spinach catalyse the release of (14)CO(2) from [1-(14)C]glycollate and [1-(14)C]glyoxylate were investigated. 2. At pH8, (14)CO(2) production from [1-(14)C]glyoxylate was accompanied by equivalent quantities of formate. The accumulation of oxalate and the effects of various reagents, especially catalase inhib...

We obtained -68 pairs of simultaneously drawn serum and fluoride-oxalate plasma samples from patients and analyzed them by a continuous-flow (AutoAnalyzer II) glucose oxidase method. Glucose concentrations ranged from 370 to 3530 mg/L. Glucose concentrations for samples obtained in the fluoride-oxalate preservative averaged 42 +/- 35 mg/L (mean +/- SD) higher than serum. The magnitude of this d...

a proteomic approach was conducted to further understand the mechanism of plant responses to salinity in hordeum bulbosom. three-week-old seedlings were treated with 300 mm of nacl for 21 days. total proteins of fourth leaf were extracted and separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. more than 500 protein spots were reproducibly detected, including 46 spots that were up-regulated and 16...

Oxalate oxidase was identified in mycelial extracts of a basidiomycete Abortiporus biennis strain. Intracellular enzyme activity was detected only after prior lowering of the pH value of the fungal cultures by using oxalic or hydrochloric acids. This enzyme was purified using size exclusion chromatography (Sephadex G-25) and ion-exchange chromatography (DEAE-Sepharose). This enzyme exhibited op...

Germin, a molecular marker of wheat embryo germination, is a remarkably proteaseresistant, apoplastic, homopentameric glycoprotein. Different forms of germin found to be related to various aspects of plant development have been discovered. Germins were determined in cereals, dicotyledonous angiosperms, gymnosperms and in a prosit, all these proteins are together called germin-like proteins due ...

Differential expression of rice oxalate oxidase genes (OsOxO1-4) in rice leaves (Oryza sativa L.) in response to biotic stress was assayed using RT-PCR. OsOxO4 was induced transiently at 12 h in plants inoculated with the pathogens of bacterial blight and that of the wounding control. Inoculation with the rice blast pathogen induced OsOxO2 expression compared to the mock spray control. Overexpr...

Lactate oxidase from Mycobacterium smegmatic is strongly inhibited by oxalate. The inhibition is reversible in the absence and irreversible in the presence of light. Oxalate is bound to the enzyme in a two-step process with an over-all Kd of 1.6 times 10--5 M. The first step is a fast second order reaction with k-1/k1 equals 8.3 times 10--3 M, leading to a Complex I. This complex is then revers...
