Hemocytes release phenoloxidase upon contact reaction, an allogeneic interaction, in the ascidian Halocynthia roretzi.
Contact reaction is the morphological expression of allogeneic recognition by hemocytes in the ascidian, Halocynthia roretzi; namely they undergo an exocytotic burst upon contact with non-self (allogeneic) hemocytes in vitro. We have found that contact reaction is accompanied by a burst of cyanide-insensitive oxygen consumption that, unlike exocytotic events of mammalian phagocytes, is Ca(2+)-d...
متن کاملTarantula hemocyanin shows phenoloxidase activity.
An enzyme generally catalyzes one well defined reaction with high specificity and efficiency. We report here in contrast that the copper protein hemocyanin of the tarantula Eurypelma californicum exhibits two different functions. These occur at the same active site. While hemocyanin usually is an oxygen carrier, its function can be transformed totally to monophenoloxidase and o-diphenoloxidase ...
متن کاملcomparison of catalytic activity of heteropoly compounds in the synthesis of bis(indolyl)alkanes.
heteropoly acids (hpa) and their salts have advantages as catalysts which make them both economically and environmentally attractive, strong br?nsted acidity, exhibiting fast reversible multi-electron redox transformations under rather mild conditions, very high solubility in polar solvents, fairly high thermal stability in the solid states, and efficient oxidizing ability, so that they are imp...
15 صفحه اولSDS-induced phenoloxidase activity of Helix aspersa maxima hemocyanin
Oxygen-transporting protein of the hemolimph of snails Helix aspersa maxima (HaH) was converted from being an oxygen carrier to a form which exhibited phenoloxidase activity by incubation with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). On treatment with 1.73 mM SDS, for 3 min, significant increase of catalytic efficiency of hemocyanin towards substrate catechol (kcat/Km = 34.56 mM.min -1 versus kcat/Km = 0....
متن کاملSoluble peroxidase from winter wheat seedlings with phenoloxidase-like activity.
Peroxidase isozymes from winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv Orso) seedlings extracts showed phenoloxidase-like activity, becoming visible on polyacrylamide gels also in the absence of hydrogen peroxide. The results obtained after a characterization of the two activities, based on their substrate specificity, on their selective inhibition, and on the possible occurrence of artifacts, suggeste...
