  • Non-Homologous Isofunctional Enzymes: a Systematic Analysis Of
    Omelchenko et al. Biology Direct 2010, 5:31 http://www.biology-direct.com/content/5/1/31 RESEARCH Open Access Non-homologousResearch isofunctional enzymes: A systematic analysis of alternative solutions in enzyme evolution Marina V Omelchenko, Michael Y Galperin*, Yuri I Wolf and Eugene V Koonin Abstract Background: Evolutionarily unrelated proteins that catalyze the same biochemical reactions are often referred to as analogous - as opposed to homologous - enzymes. The existence of numerous alternative, non-homologous enzyme isoforms presents an interesting evolutionary problem; it also complicates genome-based reconstruction of the metabolic pathways in a variety of organisms. In 1998, a systematic search for analogous enzymes resulted in the identification of 105 Enzyme Commission (EC) numbers that included two or more proteins without detectable sequence similarity to each other, including 34 EC nodes where proteins were known (or predicted) to have distinct structural folds, indicating independent evolutionary origins. In the past 12 years, many putative non-homologous isofunctional enzymes were identified in newly sequenced genomes. In addition, efforts in structural genomics resulted in a vastly improved structural coverage of proteomes, providing for definitive assessment of (non)homologous relationships between proteins. Results: We report the results of a comprehensive search for non-homologous isofunctional enzymes (NISE) that yielded 185 EC nodes with two or more experimentally characterized - or predicted - structurally unrelated proteins. Of these NISE sets, only 74 were from the original 1998 list. Structural assignments of the NISE show over-representation of proteins with the TIM barrel fold and the nucleotide-binding Rossmann fold. From the functional perspective, the set of NISE is enriched in hydrolases, particularly carbohydrate hydrolases, and in enzymes involved in defense against oxidative stress.

  • Increased Whitening Efficacy and Reduced Cytotoxicity Are Achieved by the Chemical Activation of a Highly Concentrated Hydrogen Peroxide Bleaching Gel
    Original Article http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1678-7757-2018-0453 Increased whitening efficacy and reduced cytotoxicity are achieved by the chemical activation of a highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide bleaching gel Abstract Diana Gabriela SOARES1 Objective: This study was designed for the chemical activation of a 35% hydrogen peroxide (H O ) bleaching gel to increase its whitening effectiveness Natália MARCOMINI² 2 2 and reduce its toxicity. Methodology: First, the bleaching gel - associated or Carla Caroline de Oliveira DUQUE³ not with ferrous sulfate (FS), manganese chloride (MC), peroxidase (PR), Ester Alves Ferreira BORDINI³ or catalase (CT) - was applied (3x 15 min) to enamel/dentin discs adapted Uxua Ortecho ZUTA³ to artificial pulp chambers. Then, odontoblast-like MDPC-23 cells were Fernanda Gonçalves BASSO⁴ exposed for 1 h to the extracts (culture medium + components released Josimeri HEBLING⁵ from the product), for the assessment of viability (MTT assay) and oxidative D Carlos Alberto de Souza COSTA⁴ stress (H2DCFDA). Residual H2O2 and bleaching effectiveness ( E) were also evaluated. Data were analyzed with one-way ANOVA complemented with Tukey’s test (n=8. p<0.05). Results: All chemically activated groups minimized MDPC-23 oxidative stress generation; however, significantly higher cell viability was detected for MC, PR, and CT than for plain 35% H2O2 gel. Nevertheless, FS, MC, PR, and CT reduced the amount of residual H2O2 and increased bleaching effectiveness. Conclusion: Chemical activation of 35% H2O2 gel with MC, PR, and CT minimized residual H2O2 and pulp cell toxicity; but PR duplicated the whitening potential of the bleaching gel after a single 45-minute session.

  • Chloride Peroxidase Cat
    chloride peroxidase Cat. No. EXWM-0491 Lot. No. (See product label) Introduction Description Brings about the chlorination of a range of organic molecules, forming stable C-Cl bonds. Also oxidizes bromide and iodide. Enzymes of this type are either heme-thiolate proteins, or contain vanadate. A secreted enzyme produced by the ascomycetous fungus Caldariomyces fumago (Leptoxyphium fumago) is an example of the heme-thiolate type. It catalyses the production of hypochlorous acid by transferring one oxygen atom from H2O2 to chloride. At a separate site it catalyses the chlorination of activated aliphatic and aromatic substrates, via HClO and derived chlorine species. In the absence of halides, it shows peroxidase (e.g. phenol oxidation) and peroxygenase activities. The latter inserts oxygen from H2O2 into, for example, styrene (side chain epoxidation) and toluene (benzylic hydroxylation), however, these activities are less pronounced than its activity with halides. Has little activity with non-activated substrates such as aromatic rings, ethers or saturated alkanes. The chlorinating peroxidase produced by ascomycetous fungi (e.g. Curvularia inaequalis) is an example of a vanadium chloroperoxidase, and is related to bromide peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.18). It contains vanadate and oxidizes chloride, bromide and iodide into hypohalous acids. In the absence of halides, it peroxygenates organic sulfides and oxidizes ABTS [2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)] but no phenols. Synonyms chloroperoxidase; CPO; vanadium haloperoxidase Product Information Form Liquid or lyophilized powder EC Number EC 1.11.1.10 CAS No. 9055-20-3 Reaction RH + chloride + H2O2 = RCl + 2 H2O Notes This item requires custom production and lead time is between 5-9 weeks.

  • New Automatically Built Profiles for a Better Understanding of the Peroxidase Superfamily Evolution
    University of Geneva Practical training report submitted for the Master Degree in Proteomics and Bioinformatics New automatically built profiles for a better understanding of the peroxidase superfamily evolution presented by Dominique Koua Supervisors: Dr Christophe DUNAND Dr Nicolas HULO Laboratory of Plant Physiology, Dr Christian J.A. SIGRIST University of Geneva Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics PROSITE group. Geneva, April, 18th 2008 Abstract Motivation: Peroxidases (EC 1.11.1.x), which are encoded by small or large multigenic families, are involved in several important physiological and developmental processes. These proteins are extremely widespread and present in almost all living organisms. An important number of haem and non-haem peroxidase sequences are annotated and classified in the peroxidase database PeroxiBase (http://peroxibase.isb-sib.ch). PeroxiBase contains about 5800 peroxidase sequences classified as haem peroxidases and non-haem peroxidases and distributed between thirteen superfamilies and fifty subfamilies, (Passardi et al., 2007). However, only a few classification tools are available for the characterisation of peroxidase sequences: InterPro motifs, PRINTS and specifically designed PROSITE profiles. However, these PROSITE profiles are very global and do not allow the differenciation between very close subfamily sequences nor do they allow the prediction of specific cellular localisations. Due to the rapid growth in the number of available sequences, there is a need for continual updates and corrections of peroxidase protein sequences as well as for new tools that facilitate acquisition and classification of existing and new sequences. Currently, the PROSITE generalised profile building manner and their usage do not allow the differentiation of sequences from subfamilies showing a high degree of similarity.

    Biochem. J. (1978) 174, 939-949 939 Printed in Great Britain Subcellular Structure of Bovine Thyroid Gland THE LOCALIZATION OF THE PEROXIDASE ACTIVITY IN BOVINE THYROID By MARC J. S. DE WOLF, ALBERT R. LAGROU and HERWIG J. J. HILDERSON RUCA Laboratoryfor Human Biochemistry, University ofAntwerp and GUIDO A. F. VAN DESSEL and WILFRIED S. H. DIERICK UIA Laboratoryfor Pathological Biochemistry, University ofAntwerp, Groenenborgerlaan 171, B2020 Antwerp, Belgium (Received 27 February 1978) 1. After differential pelleting of bovine thyroid tissue the highest relative specific activities for plasma membrane markers are found in the L fraction whereas those for peroxidase activities (p-phenylenediamine, guaiacol and 3,3'-diaminobenzidine tetrachloride per- oxidases) are found in the M fraction. 2. When M+L fractions were subjected to buoyant- density equilibration in a HS zonal rotor all peroxidases show different profiles. The guaiacol peroxidase activity always follows the distribution of glucose 6-phosphatase. 3. When a Sb fraction is subjected to Sepharose 2B chromatography three major peaks are obtained. The first, eluted at the void volume, consists of membranous material and contains most of the guaiacol peroxidase activity. Most of the protein (probably thyro- globulin) is eluted with the second peak. Solubilized enzymes are recovered in the third peak. 4.p-Phenylenediamine peroxidase activity penetrates into the gel on polyacrylamide- gel electrophoresis, whereas guaiacol peroxidase activity remains at the sample zone. 5. DEAE-Sephadex A-50 chromatography resolves the peroxidase activities into two peaks, displaying different relative amounts of the different enzymic activities in each peak. 6. The peroxidase activities may be due to the presence of different proteins.
