We demonstrate direct oxidation of ferrocytochrome c by lignin peroxidase (LiP) from the lignin-degrading basidiomycete, Phanerochaete chrysosporium. Steady-state kinetic data fit a peroxidase ping-pong mechanism rather than an ordered bi-bi ping-pong mechanism, suggesting that the reductions of LiP compounds I and II by ferrocytochrome c are irreversible. The pH dependence of the overall reaction apparently is controlled by two factors, the pH dependence of the electron-transfer rate and the pH dependence of enzyme inactivation in the presence of H2O2. In the presence of 100 microM H2O2, veratryl alcohol (VA) significantly enhanced cytochrome c oxidation at pH 3.0 but had little effect above pH 4.5. In the presence of < 10 microM H2O2, the stimulating effect of VA on the reaction is greatly diminished. As with cytochrome c peroxidase reactions, LiP oxidation of ferrocytochrome c decreased as the ionic strength increased, implying the involvement of electrostatic interactions between the polymeric substrate and enzyme. The reaction product ferricytochrome c inhibited VA oxidation by LiP in a noncompetitive manner, suggesting that cytochrome c binds to LiP at a site different from the small aromatic substrate binding site. Recent crystallographic studies show that the heme is buried in the LiP protein and unavailable for direct interaction with polymeric substrates, suggesting that electron transfer from ferrocytochrome c to LiP occurs over a relatively long range. The role of VA in this electron-transfer reaction is discussed.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Reactive oxygen species play an important role in pathogen-plant interactions. In fungi, cytochrome -peroxidase maintains intracellular ROS homeostasis by utilizing HO as an electron acceptor to oxidize ferrocytochrome , thereby contributing to disease pathogenesis. In this study, our investigation reveals that the cytochrome -peroxidase encoding gene, , not only plays a key role in resisting HO toxicity but is also essential for the mating/filamentation and pathogenicity of .

An improved oxygen availability in air-liquid interface (ALI) cultures of enterocytes of the small intestine seems to be primarily responsible for morphological, metabolic, and functional changes. Intestinal porcine epithelial cells 1 (IPEC-1) are less investigated and are rarely used as model for intestinal barrier but showed a profound change of cell shape during ALI cultivation. We aim to answer the following question: Are the observed morphological effects accompanied by changes in metabolic function? A microarray analysis of submerged culture (SMC) and ALI cultures identified 830 significantly regulated genes.

Several ferryl states of the catalytic heme a-Cu center of the respiratory cytochrome c oxidases (CcOs) are observed during the reduction of O2 to H2O. One of the P-type ferryl forms, P, is produced by the reaction of the two-electron reduced CcO with O2. In this state, the heme a iron is in the ferryl state and a free radical should be also present at the catalytic center.

We previously described how thousands of the heme protein cytochrome (cyt.) self-organize into multilayered, roughly spherical superstructures as initiated by nucleation around one colloidal gold or silver nanoparticle. Within these superstructures, the protein is stabilized to unfolding in buffered media and survives superstructure encapsulation within silica gels and processing to form bioaerogels.

Analysis of kinetic and thermodynamic parameters measured for CO-association reaction of Ferrocytochrome c (Ferrocyt c) under variable concentrations of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium with varying anion ([Bmim]X) (X = Cl, I, Br, HSO) at pH 7 revealed that the low concentration of [Bmim]X (≤0.5 M) constrains the CO-association dynamics of Ferrocyt c and typically follows the order: [Bmim]HSO > [Bmim]Cl > [Bmim]Br > [Bmim]I. At relatively higher concentrations (>0.
