Evidence for a spin-coupled binuclear iron unit at the active site of the purple acid phosphatase from beef spleen.
The purple acid phosphatase from beef spleen, which contains two iron atoms per molecule, is EPR silent in its native (oxidized) purple form. Treatment with mild reducing agents results in conversion to a pink, enzymatically active form, which exhibits an unusual EPR signal centered at g approximately equal to 1.77; double integration of the EPR spectrum gives one spin per two iron atoms. A sim...
متن کاملTransfer of iron from uteroferrin (purple acid phosphatase) to transferrin related to acid phosphatase activity.
There is continuing controversy as to whether iron can be exchanged from the purple phosphatase, uteroferrin (Uf), to fetal transferrin (Tf) and whether this process might be of physiological relevance during pregnancy in the pig. Here, iron transfer from Uf to apoTf at pH 7.1 was followed by measuring the loss of acid phosphatase activity from native Uf as a function of incubation conditions a...
متن کاملFunctional Assessment of an Overexpressed Arabidopsis Purple Acid Phosphatase Gene (Atpap26) in Tobacco Plants
Background: Overexpression of known genes encoding key phosphate (Pi)-metabolizing enzymes, such as acid phosphatases (APases), is presumed to help plants with Pi availability and absorption as they are mostly exposed to suboptimal environmental conditions for this vital element.Objectives: In this study, the overexpression effect of AtPAP26, one of the m...

Reportamos neste trabalho, a síntese, a estrutura cristalina e as propriedades espectroscópicas e eletroquímicas do complexo NH4[Fe2 (bbpmp)(μ-SO4)2] 1 onde bbpmp é o ânion do ligante 2,6-bis[(2-hidróxibenzil)(2-metilpiridil)-amino-metil]-4-metilfenol. Este representa o primeiro exemplo de um complexo contendo a unidade estrutural (μ-fenolato)(μ-SO4)2 e um ligante N,Odoador de relevância, como ...
متن کاملImproving Phosphorus Efficiency in Crops with Focus on Purple Acid Phosphatase: Potentials and Perspective
Low-phosphorus (P) stress as a key factor limiting plant growth and production is common in most agricultural soils. Most of the soil-applied phosphate will be rapidly immobilized and most of annually applied phosphate fertilizers are fixed in the soil in organic forms by adsorption, sedimentation and transformation. However, excess P application may lead to contamination of water sources by en...
