A new bromoperoxidase-catalase was purified from the chloramphenicol-producing actinomycete Streptomyces venezuelae ISP 5230. The homogeneous enzyme showed brominating activity, catalase activity and a very low peroxidase activity. The spectral properties and pH dependence of the catalase activity showed similarities to conventional catalases. In contrast to other haem-bromoperoxidases, the bro...

Background Oxidant injury to the pulmonary endothelium contributes to acute lung injury. We have shown that activation of PKGI by cGMP increases protein levels of the antioxidant enzymes catalase and glutathione peroxidase-1 (GPx-1) and ameliorates oxidant injury in mouse lung endothelium [1]. Catalase and GPx-1 mRNA was not increased. The pathway downstream of PKGI that leads to increases in c...
