Euglena gracilis was found to contain a peroxidase that specifically require L-ascorbic acid as the natural electron donor in the cytosol. The presence of an oxidation-reduction system metabolizing L-ascorbic acid was demonstrated in Euglena cells. Oxidation of L-ascorbic acid by the peroxidase, and the absence of ascorbic acid oxidase activity, suggests that the system functions to remove H2O2 in E. gracilis, which lacks catalase.

The hydroxyproline-rich glycoprotein of plant cell walls is secreted from the cytoplasm as a soluble monomer which slowly becomes insolubilized. A tyrosine derivative, isodityrosine, is formed in the cell wall during this insolubilization and could serve as a protein-protein crosslink. Glycoprotein insolubilization is inhibited by peroxidase inhibitors and free radical scavengers, the most effective of which is L-ascorbate. These data support a hypothesis that the hydroxyproline-rich cell wall glycoprotein forms a covalently crosslinked wall network under the control of an extracellular peroxidase/ascorbate oxidase system.

A uricase-peroxidase coupled system, for the determination of uric acid, applied to a CentrifiChem-500 centrifugal fast analyser is described. Relatively large amounts of ascorbic acid, due to the inclusion of an ascorbate oxidase urine diluent, and hemoglobin appear not to interfere with the procedure while the incorporation of potassium ferrocyanide into the reagents has led to the near-total elimination of bilirubin interference. The incubation period is relatively short compared with other similar procedures and the one reagent system has made the procedure simple to perform. The use of sodium 2-hydroxy-3,5-dichlorobenzenesulfonate and 4-aminoantipyrene in the oxidative coupling reaction has incorporated the advantages of increased sensitivity, over phenol-4-aminoantipyrene systems, as well as the amenability of the reagent towards lyophilization or "dry-fill".

A simple and sensitive colorimetric assay for serum diamine oxidase (DAO) activity was based on a coupled reaction with peroxidase and a new chromogen, 10-(carboxymethyl-aminocarbonyl)-3,7-bis(dimethylamino) phenothiazine sodium salt (DA-67). In the presence of peroxidase and DA-67, peroxidase catalyzes the formation of methylene blue having an absorption maximum at 668 nm. The proposed method eliminates the interferences occurring in serum with use of ascorbate oxidase and stops the reaction with sodium diethyldithiocarbamate, leaving the methylene blue in the reaction mixture stable for about 2 h. Low normal basal values of serum DAO can be determined in the range 2.8-9.0 units/l. Since all reagents are commercially available the method is suitable for the clinical laboratory.

A method for the detection of ascorbate peroxidase activity in native electrophoretic gels is described. The assay is based on the ability of ascorbate peroxidase to prevent the ascorbate-dependent reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium in the presence of H2O2. The method was found to be both sensitive (detection of less than 0.01 units of ascorbate peroxidase activity) and specific for ascorbate peroxidase activity. The application of the method for the detection of ascorbate peroxidase activity in protein extracts from several plant sources was investigated by comparing staining for activities of ascorbate peroxidase, horseradish peroxidase, and ascorbate oxidase and by immunodetection of ascorbate peroxidase in these extracts.

Ole e 1, the major allergen from olive pollen, is a glycoprotein containing a single Asn-linked glycan moiety. Rabbit antiserum against this protein has been obtained; and its immunologic cross-reactivities in Western blotting with ascorbate oxidase, horseradish peroxidase, bromelain, ovalbumin, and honeybee venom phospholipase A2 have been studied. Ascorbate oxidase, peroxidase, and bromelain are recognized by the Ole e 1 antiserum. When these three proteins are deglycosylated by periodate treatment, such an immunologic reaction does not occur. The relative affinities of these proteins have been analyzed by direct and inhibition ELISA experiments. A commercially available antibody against horseradish peroxidase has also been considered in these studies. This antibody reacts with Ole e 1 but not with the periodate-deglycosylated allergen. Horseradish peroxidase, bromelain, and ascorbate oxidase are recognized by the IgE of sera from patients who are hypersensitive to olive tree pollen. This binding is also abolished by periodate treatment. The results are interpreted in terms of the presence of an epitope in the carbohydrate moiety of Ole e 1, which would contain a xylose involved in recognition by both IgE and IgG antibodies.

The binding to concanavalin A (Con A) by pyridylaminated oligosaccharides derived from bromelain (Manalpha1,6(Xylbeta1,2) Manbeta1, 4GlcNAcbeta1,4(Fucalpha1,3)GlcNAc), horseradish peroxidase (Manalpha1,6(Manalpha1,3) (Xylbeta1,2)Manbeta1, 4GlcNAcbeta1,4(Fucalpha1,3) GlcNAc), bee venom phospholipase A2 (Manalpha1,6Manbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta1,4GlcNAc and Manalpha1,6(Manalpha1,3)Manbeta1,4GlcNAcbeta1,4 (Fucalpha1,3)GlcNAc) and zucchini ascorbate oxidase (Manalpha1,6(Manalpha1,3) (Xylbeta1,2)Manbeta1,4 GlcNAcbeta1,4GlcNAc) was compared to the binding by Man3GlcNAc2, Man5GlcNAc2 and the asialo-triantennary complex oligosaccharide from bovine fetuin. While the fetuin oligosaccharide did not bind, bromelain, zucchini, Man2GlcNAc2 and horseradish peroxidase were retarded (in that order). The alpha1,3-fucosylated phospholipase, Man3GlcNAc2 and Man5GlcNAc2 structures were eluted with 15 mM alpha-methylmannoside. It is concluded that core alpha1,3-fucosylation has little or no effect on ConA binding while xylosylation decreases affinity for ConA. In a parallel study comparing the endoglycosidase D (Endo D) sensitivities of Man3GlcNAc2, IgG-derived GlcNAcbeta1, 2Manalpha1,6(GlcNAcbeta1,2Manalpha1,3)Manbeta1,+ ++4GlcNAcbeta1,4(Fucalpha1,6)GlcNAc, the phospholipase Manalpha1,6(Manalpha1,3) Manbeta1, 4GlcNAcbeta1,4(Fucalpha1,3)GlcNAc, and horseradish and zucchini pyridylaminated N-linked oligosaccharides, it was found that only the Man3GlcNAc2 structure was cleaved. The IgG structure was sensitive only when beta-hexosaminidase was also present. Thus, in contrast to core alpha1,6-fucosylated structures, such as those present in mammals, the presence of core alpha1,3-fucose, as found in structures from plants and insects, and/or beta1,2-xylose, as found in plants, causes resistance to Endo D.

Cultured cells of tobacco BY2 secrete more than 100 proteins into culture medium. Six major proteins were purified, and partial protein sequences were determined. Five of them were found to be similar to an ascorbic acid oxidase, three peroxidase isozymes and a beta-1,3-exoglucanase, respectively. A cDNA clone encoding the remaining polypeptide, whose amino acid sequence showed no similarity with earlier reported proteins, was isolated. It encoded a putative 27 kDa protein of 242 amino acids with resemblance to WCI-5, a wheat protein induced by benzo(1,2,3)thiadiazole-7-carbothioic acid S-methyl ester (BTH) which activates genes involved in systemic acquired resistance. Transcripts of this clone accumulated upon tobacco mosaic virus infection, mechanical wounding and drought treatment, an induction profile that satisfies the definition of pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins by van Loon et al. (Plant Mol. Biol. Rep. 12 (1994) 245). No similar PR proteins have so far been reported, and therefore our newly designated NtPRp27 points to the existence of a novel PR protein family in tobacco plants.

In this study, we investigated the optical features of the redox metal-dependent proteins cytochrome-c, horseradish peroxidase (HRP), and ascorbate oxidase embedded in a sol-gel-processed silica matrix as a function of gelation time. Circular dichroism, absorbance, and fluorescence spectroscopies revealed that the sol-gel process affects the complex structure of the dimeric ascorbate oxidase (although the prosthetic coppers still remain bound to the enzyme) but not that of monomeric cytochrome-c and HRP. Any modifications in ascorbate oxidase occurred in the initial gelation phase; the drying process induced no further alterations and the enzyme remained stable for months. Unfolding-refolding experiments on cytochrome-c revealed severely restricted motility in the protein moiety in the xerogel, the concentrated matrix that forms after drying. The diffusion time of the solvent within the matrix, which regulated the enzyme-substrate reaction rate, depended on the thickness of the monolith, not on the dryness of the specimen.

A method has been developed which allows the analysis of glycoproteins separated by SDS-PAGE. The procedure, though applicable to N-glycosylated glycoproteins of any origin, is particularly devised for glycoproteins potentially containing fucose in alpha1,3-linkage to the reducing GlcNAc as may be found in plants and invertebrates, e.g., insects and parasitic helminths. Starting with an established procedure for mass spectrometric peptide mapping, the analysis of N-glycans by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry involved the use of peptide:N-glycosidase A, a triphasic microcolumn for sample cleanup, and a new matrix mixture consisting of 2,5-dihyhydroxybenzoic acid, 1-hydroxyisoquinoline, and arabinosazone. The method was tested on proteins with N-glycans of known structure, i.e., as horseradish peroxidase, zucchini ascorbate oxidase, soybean agglutinin, honeybee venom hyaluronidase, bovine ribonuclease B, and bovine fetuin. An electrophoretic band corresponding to 4 microg of glycoprotein was generally sufficient to allow detection of the major N-glycan species. As an additional benefit, a peptide mass map is generated which serves to identify the analyzed protein. The method was applied to glycoprotein allergens whose glycan structures were unknown. Ara h 1 and Ole e 1, major allergens from peanut and olive pollen, respectively, contained mainly xylosylated N-glycans with the composition Man(3(-4))XylGlcNAc(2) in the case of Ara h 1 and GlcNAc(1-2)Man(3)XylGlcNAc(2) in the case of Ole e 1 where also some GlcNAc(0-2)Man(3)XylFucGlcNAc(2) was found.
