Plant Carbonic Anhydrases: I. Distribution of Types among Species.
نویسندگان
چکیده
On the basis of polyacrylamide gradient gel electrophoresis of leaf extracts from 24 species of higher plants, two main forms of carbonic anhydrase (EC 4.2.1.1) were recognized; the "dicotyledon" type and the "monocotyledon" type. More than one band of enzyme was found on gels from most species, suggesting the possibility of carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes in higher plants.

Plant Carbonic Anhydrases: Structures, Locations, Evolution, and Physiological Roles
Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are zinc metalloenzymes that catalyze the interconversion of CO2 and HCO3- and are ubiquitous in nature. Higher plants contain three evolutionarily distinct CA families, αCAs, βCAs, and γCAs, where each family is represented by multiple isoforms in all species. Alternative splicing of CA transcripts appears common; consequently, the number of functional CA isoforms in ...
متن کاملPharmacological Inhibition of Mitochondrial Carbonic Anhydrases Protects Mouse Cerebral Pericytes from High Glucose-Induced Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis s
Diabetes-associated complications in the microvasculature of the brain are caused by oxidative stress, generated by overproduction of reactive oxygen species from hyperglycemia-induced accelerated oxidative metabolism of glucose. Pericytes, essential for the viability of the microvasculature, are especially susceptible to oxidative stress. Mitochondrial carbonic anhydrases, regulators of the ox...
متن کاملHuman carbonic anhydrases. VI. Levels of isozymes in old and young erythrocytes and in various tissues.
The more acidic, minor isozymes of human carbonic anhydrase types B and C are present in higher concentrations in the older erythrocyte populations. The levels of all of these isozymes can be determined quantitatively by immunochemical methods following their separation by electiofocusing. A wide variety of human tissues have been assayed for carbonic anhydrases. Significant levels of the C typ...

متن کاملCarbonic anhydrases and anion transport in mosquito midgut pH regulation.
Mosquito larvae use a digestive strategy that is relatively rare in nature. The anterior half of the larval mosquito midgut has a luminal pH that ranges between 10.5 and 11.5. Most other organisms, both large and small, initiate digestion in an acid medium. The relative uniqueness of the highly alkaline digestive strategy has been a long-standing research focus in larval lepidopterans. More rec...
