Monodehydroascorbate Reductase from Cucumber
Monodehydroascorbate reductase (EC 1.6.5.4) was purified from cucumber fruit to a homogeneous state as judged by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The cucumber monodehydroascorbate reductase was a monomer with a molecular weight of 47,000. It contained 1 mol of FAD/mol of enzyme which was reduced by NAD(P)H and reoxidized by monodehydroascorbate. The enzyme had an exposed thiol group whose ...
متن کاملDifferential molecular response of monodehydroascorbate reductase and glutathione reductase by nitration and S-nitrosylation
The ascorbate-glutathione cycle is a metabolic pathway that detoxifies hydrogen peroxide and involves enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants. Proteomic studies have shown that some enzymes in this cycle such as ascorbate peroxidase (APX), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDAR), and glutathione reductase (GR) are potential targets for post-translational modifications (PMTs) mediated by nitric o...
متن کاملBioremediation of Tnt Wastes by Higher Plants
The uptake and biotransformation of TNT was studied in cell suspension cultures and in whole plants of Datura innoxia and Lycopersicon peruvianum. In cell culture, TNT was rapidly removed from the growth medium and recovered from the cell extract in the form of a variety of biotransformation products resulting from nitroreduction, deamination, Nacetylation and side chain oxidation to aldehyde a...
متن کاملIsolation, molecular cloning and expression analysis of Aeluropus littoralis Monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR) gene under salt stress
Plants are naturally exposed to frequent changes in environmental conditions such as salt stress affecting their growth and development, and consequently a considerable reduction in total productivity. Monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), a key enzyme in ascorbate-glutathione cycle, serves as an important antioxidative enzyme in scavenging of reactive oxygen spices (ROS). In this study, ...
متن کاملMolecular cloning, in-silico characterization and functional validation of monodehydroascorbate reductase gene in Eleusine coracana
Ascorbic acid is a ubiquitous water soluble antioxidant that plays a critical role in plant growth and environmental stress tolerance. It acts as a free radical scavenger as well as a source of reducing power for several cellular processes. Because of its pivotal role in regulating plant growth under optimal as well as sub-optimal conditions, it becomes obligatory for plants to maintain a pool ...
