Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-generating oxidases in the normal rabbit cornea and their involvement in the corneal damage evoked by UVB rays.
The corneas of albino rabbits were irradiated (5 min exposure once a day) with UVB rays (312 nm) for 4 days (shorter procedure) or 8 days (longer procedure). The eyes were examined microbiologically and only the corneas of sterile eyes or eyes with non-pathogenic microbes were employed. Histochemically, the activities of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-generating oxidases (xanthine oxidase, D-ami...
متن کاملProduction of a new D-amino acid oxidase from the fungus Fusarium oxysporum.
The fungus Fusarium oxysporum produced a D-amino acid oxidase (EC 1. 4.3.3) in a medium containing glucose as the carbon and energy source and ammonium sulfate as the nitrogen source. The specific D-amino acid oxidase activity was increased up to 12.5-fold with various D-amino acids or their corresponding derivatives as inducers. The best inducers were D-alanine (2.7 microkat/g of dry biomass) ...
متن کاملNitroalkanes as reductive substrates for flavoprotein oxidases.
Nitroalkanes have been found to be general reductive substrates for D-amino acid oxidase, glucose oxidase and L-amino acid oxidase. These enzymes show different specificities for the structure of the nitroalkane substrate. The stoichiometry of the D-amino acid oxidase reaction is straightforward, consisting of the production of one mole each of aldehyde, nitrite and hydrogen peroxide for each m...
متن کاملEffects of nitroaromatic compounds on spectra of D-amino acid oxidase.
D-amino acid oxidase ( D-amino acid oxygen oxidoreductase E.C. 1.4.3.3. ) was found to bind various nitroaromatics with characteristic spectral changes similar in form to those caused by benzoate and its analogues. Nitrobenzene and o-nitroaniline were found to be competitive inhibitors of the enzyme. Dissociation constants of nitroaromatics tested were larger than those of the carboxylates exce...
متن کاملpH and kinetic isotope effects on the oxidative half-reaction of D-amino-acid oxidase.
D-Amino-acid oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of D-amino acids to imino acids. In the oxidative half-reaction, oxygen reacts with the reduced enzyme-imino acid complex to reoxidize the bound FAD. This is then followed by dissociation of the imino acid. The effects of pH and D2O on the kinetics of the oxidative half-reaction of D-amino-acid oxidase have been determined with glycine, D-alanine, an...
