Purification and properties of milk xanthine dehydrogenase.
Milk xanthine oxidase (XO) has been prepared in a dehydrogenase form (XDH) by purifying the enzyme in the presence of 2.5 mM dithiothreitol. Unlike XO, which reacts rapidly only with oxygen and not with NAD, the XDH form of the enzyme reacts rapidly with NAD. XDH has a turnover number for the NAD-dependent conversion of xanthine to urate of 380 mol/min/mol at pH 7.5, 25 degrees C, with a Km = <...
متن کاملOn the Further Purification of the Xanthine Oxidase.
SINCE the discovery of the xanthine oxidase of milk by Morgan, Stewart and Hopkins [1922] two main attempts have been made to purify this enzyme further; namely, by Dixon and Thurlow [1924, 1], and later by Sbarsky and Michlin [1925]. Dixon and Thurlow obtained an active and stable oxidase preparation by precipitating the enzyme, together with the caseinogen and fat, by halfsaturation of the mi...
متن کاملPurification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction studies of xanthine dehydrogenase and xanthine oxidase isolated from bovine milk.
Xanthine dehydrogenase catalyzes the oxidation of hypoxanthine to xanthine and the further oxidation of xanthine to uric acid. The enzyme is the target of the anti-gout drug allopurinol and its involvement in postischemic reperfusion injury is presently being defined. Each subunit of the homodimeric 290 kDa enzyme contains four cofactors: one Mo-pterin, two [2Fe-2S] clusters and one FAD. Both t...
متن کاملXanthine oxidase: introductory remarks.
At the 661st Meeting of the Biochemical Society, held at Bath, the Host Colloquium, a joint meeting with the Society for Free Radical Research, took place on 10th and 11th April 1997. Its title was ‘Xanthine oxidase: enzymology and pathophysiology’. The two aspects of xanthine oxidase research specified in the Colloquium title have developed remarkably separately, and, for a number of reasons, ...
متن کاملXanthine oxidase and xanthine dehydrogenase from an estivating land snail.
During arousal from estivation in land snails, Otala lactea, active metabolic functions are restored within minutes and oxygen consumption increases dramatically. During the transition from the hypoxic conditions of estivation to normoxia it is possible that xanthine oxidase (XO) in hepatopancreas contributes to the observed lipid peroxidation. Using a fluorometric assay that is based on the ox...
