چکیده

The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of the blue copper oxidase ceruloplasmin [ferroxidase, iron (II):oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.16.3.1] and of a derivative having the type I (blue) copper centers reversibly bleached are reported. The EPR spectrum of bleached ceruloplasmin has a seven-line superhyperfine structure in the g : formula: (see text) region that is attributed to the presence of three nitrogen-donor type 2 copper ligands. The EPR data suggest further that the type 2 copper in ceruloplasmin possesses a tetragonal coordination gometry. In the presence of varying amounts of fluoride, superhyperfine splitting patterns in the g : formula: (see text) region of both ceruloplasmin derivatives indicate that a maximum of two fluorides may be bound to the type 2 copper.

Coordination environment and fluoride binding of type 2 copper in the blue copper protein ascorbate oxidase.

The coordination environment of the type 2 (nonblue) copper in native ascorbate oxidase (L-ascorbate:oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.10.3.3) and of a derivative of the enzyme having the type 1 (blue) copper reversibly bleached has been examined by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. In the g[unk] region of the spectrum of bleached ascorbate oxidase, a seven-line superhyperfine patte...

Novel types of two-domain multi-copper oxidases: possible missing links in the evolution.

An analysis of the genome sequence database revealed novel types of two-domain multi-copper oxidases. The two-domain proteins have the conspicuous combination of blue-copper and inter-domain trinuclear copper binding residues, which is common in ceruloplasmin and ascorbate oxidase but not in nitrite reductase, and therefore are considered to retain the characteristics of the plausible ancestral...

Molecular cloning, chromosomal mapping, and sequence analysis of copper resistance genes from Xanthomonas campestris pv. juglandis: homology with small blue copper proteins and multicopper oxidase.

Copper-resistant strains of Xanthomonas campestris pv. juglandis occur in walnut orchards throughout northern California. The copper resistance genes from a copper-resistant strain C5 of X. campestris pv. juglandis were cloned and located on a 4.9-kb ClaI fragment, which hybridized only to DNA of copper-resistant strains of X. campestris pv. juglandis, and was part of an approximately 20-kb reg...

Copper proteins and ferroxidases in human plasma and that of wild-type and ceruloplasmin knockout mice.

In the blood plasma of humans and rats, ceruloplasmin is the major copper-binding protein and ferroxidase, accounting for 70% of the copper present in the plasma, with the rest binding primarily to albumin and a macroglobulin. Systematic studies with fresh plasma were carried out to compare what occurs in the mouse. C57BL6 mice had half as much copper and pPD (p-phenylene diamine) oxidase activ...
