Crystal structures of bovine milk xanthine dehydrogenase and xanthine oxidase: structure-based mechanism of conversion.
Mammalian xanthine oxidoreductases, which catalyze the last two steps in the formation of urate, are synthesized as the dehydrogenase form xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) but can be readily converted to the oxidase form xanthine oxidase (XO) by oxidation of sulfhydryl residues or by proteolysis. Here, we present the crystal structure of the dimeric (M(r), 290,000) bovine milk XDH at 2.1-A resoluti...
متن کاملPost-irradiation free radical generation: evidence from the conversion of xanthine dehydrogenase into xanthine oxidase.
The xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) system which consists of xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) and xathine oxidase (XO), is one of the major sources of free radicals in biological systems. The XOR system is pre-dominantly present as XDH in normal tissues and converts into the free radical generating XO-form in the damaged tissue. Therefore, the XO-form of the XOR system is expected to be mainly found ...
متن کاملXanthine oxidase and xanthine dehydrogenase from an estivating land snail.
During arousal from estivation in land snails, Otala lactea, active metabolic functions are restored within minutes and oxygen consumption increases dramatically. During the transition from the hypoxic conditions of estivation to normoxia it is possible that xanthine oxidase (XO) in hepatopancreas contributes to the observed lipid peroxidation. Using a fluorometric assay that is based on the ox...
متن کاملThe mechanism of action of xanthine oxidase.
The changes in optical and EPR spectra observed during the anaerobic titration of xanthine oxidase with dithionite can be accounted for by simple oxidation-reduction equilibria involving Mo(VI) u MO(V) H Mo(IV); FAD cf FADH. ++ FADH2, and the l-electron reduction of each of the two ironsulfur centers. The equilibrium constants so obtained permit the calculation of the relative probabilities of ...
متن کاملPhosphorylation of xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase in hypoxia.
The enzyme xanthine oxidase (XO) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several disease processes, such as ischemia-reperfusion injury, because of its ability to generate reactive oxygen species. The expression of XO and its precursor xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) is regulated at pre- and posttranslational levels by agents such as lipopolysaccharide and hypoxia. Posttranslational modificatio...
