Reinvestigation of a selenopeptide with purportedly high glutathione peroxidase activity.
A 15-amino acid long selenopeptide (15SeP) was recently reported to possess nearly the same catalytic activity as glutathione peroxidase (Gpx) for the reduction of hydrogen peroxide by glutathione (Sun, Y., Li, T. Y., Chen, H., Zhang, K., Zheng, K. Y., Mu, Y., Yan, G. L., Li, W., Shen, J. C., and Luo, G. M. (2004) J. Biol. Chem. 279, 37235-37240). Such a finding is startling considering the hig...
متن کاملHuman catalytic antibodies with glutathione peroxidase activity.
In order to generate catalytic antibodies with glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity, we prepared GSH-S-DNP butyl ester and GSH-S-DNP benzyl ester as the haptens. Two ScFvs that bound specifically to the haptens were selected from the human phage-displayed antibody library. The two ScFv genes were highly homologous, consisting of 786 bps and belonging to the same VH family-DP25. In the premise ...
متن کاملA novel dicyclodextrinyl diselenide compound with glutathione peroxidase activity.
A 6A,6A'-dicyclohexylamine-6B,6B'-diselenide-bis-beta-cyclodextrin (6-CySeCD) was designed and synthesized to imitate the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase (GPX). In this novel GPX model, beta-cyclodextrin provided a hydrophobic environment for substrate binding within its cavity, and a cyclohexylamine group was incorporated into cyclodextrin in proximity to the catalytic selenium in or...
متن کاملPhospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase activity of human glutathione transferases.
Human glutathione transferases (GSTs) from Alpha (A), Mu (M) and Theta (T) classes exhibited glutathione peroxidase activity towards phospholipid hydroperoxide. The specific activities are in the order: GST A1-1>GST T1-1>GST M1-1>GST A2-2>GST A4-4. Using a specific and sensitive HPLC method, specific activities towards the phospholipid hydroperoxide,1-palmitoyl-2-(13-hydroper oxy-cis-9, trans-1...
متن کاملBlood selenium concentrations and glutathione peroxidase activity.
Selenium concentrations in children and teenagers without a metabolic disorder eating normal diets (group 1), and young patients with classical phenylketonuria and milder forms of hyperphenylalaninaemia being treated with a diet low in natural protein (group 2) were investigated. There was a strong correlation between blood selenium concentration and age in children in group 1 up to 10 years of...
