Possible roles of plant sulfurtransferases in detoxification of cyanide, reactive oxygen species, selected heavy metals and arsenate.
Plants and animals have evolved various potential mechanisms to surmount the adverse effects of heavy metal toxicity. Plants possess low molecular weight compounds containing sulfhydryl groups (-SH) that actively react with toxic metals. For instance, glutathione (γ-Glu-Cys-Gly) is a sulfur-containing tripeptide thiol and a substrate of cysteine-rich phytochelatins (γ-Glu-Cys)2-11-Gly (PCs). Ph...

15 صفحه اولThe roles of reactive oxygen species in plant cells.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) were initially recognized as toxic by-products of aerobic metabolism, removed by means of antioxidants and antioxidative enzymes. In recent years, it has become apparent that ROS play an important signaling role in plants controlling processes such as growth, development, response to biotic and abiotic environmental stimuli, and programmed cell death. It is the evo...
متن کاملTargeted detoxification of selected reactive oxygen species in the vascular endothelium.
Oxidative stress underlies diverse vascular diseases, but its management remains elusive, in part because of our inability to selectively detoxify reactive oxygen species (ROS) in pathological sites and our limited understanding which species need to be eliminated. The antioxidant enzymes (AOEs) superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (which decompose and H(2)O(2), respectively), conjugated wit...
متن کاملUpdate on Reactive Oxygen Species in Plant Cell Death Reactive Oxygen Species in Plant Cell Death
Paradoxically, death is an integral part of life. Cell death is essential for growth and development of eukaryotes, by maintaining tissue and organ homeostasis in concert with cell proliferation, growth, and differentiation. Until recently, the wide variety of cell death types reported in the literature was mostly caged in two semantic categories: apoptosis and necrosis. Discrimination between ...
