Ascorbate is the natural substrate for plant peroxidases

Abstract: Ascorbate-dependent detoxification of hydrogen peroxide by guaiacol-type peroxidases is increased considerably in the presence of 3,4-dihydroxyphenolic compounds, suggesting that ascorbate is the natural substrate for many types of peroxidase in situ and not just the ascorbate-specific peroxidases. The ascorbate-dependent destruction of hydrogen peroxide in the more acidic cellular compartments such as the vacuole may be an important function of such non-specific peroxidases. The stressinduced production of ph… Show more

“…4A, top trace). One explanation for thís result would be the preferential oxidation of ascorbate by peroxidase instead of SF1, as proposed by Mehlhorn et al (1996). However, as shown in Figure 4B (top trace), the activity of ascorbate in the GuPX reaction is very low.…”

“…The detoxification of H 2 O 2 is accomplished with ascorbate peroxidase, glutathione peroxidase, catalase, and 2-Cys peroxiredoxin. The most important reducing substrate for H 2 O 2 detoxification in plant cell is ascorbate [53]. Ascorbate peroxidase reduces H 2 O 2 to water, with the concomitant generation of monodehydroascorbate (MDHA).…”

“…The nonenzymatic antioxidant system includes ascorbate (AsA), glutathione (GSH), carotenoids (lycopene, carotene), α-tocopherol and many other phenolic compounds. AsA is a major primary antioxidant synthesized on the inner membrane of the mitochondria which reacts chemically with 1 O 2 , O 2 .− , HO − and thiol radical (Noctor and Foyer 1998), and acts as the natural substrate of many plant peroxidases (Mehlhorn et al 1996). Moreover, AsA is involved in other functions such as plant growth, gene regulation, and modulation of some enzymes and redox regulation of membranebound antioxidant compounds (Horemans et al 2000).…”
