Plant peroxidases: Interaction between their prosthetic groups

Purification and enzymatic properties of a peroxidase from leaves of Phytolacca dioica L. (Ombú tree)

“…It is essential for maintaining the heme structure, enzymatic activity and thermal stability (35)(36)(37). This is also true for the PD-cP activity when assayed in presence of the Ca 2+ .…”

The possible involvement of peroxidase in defense of yellow lupine embryo axes against Fusarium oxysporum

“…Since that moment an increase was observed in peroxidase activity assayed towards syringaldazine (Fig. 1B), likely because peroxidase involved in lignification is characterized by a high affinity to this substrate (Imberty et al, 1985), especially its anion forms located in the cell wall (Boudet, 2000;Maranon and van Huystee, 1994).…”

Effects of cadmium on manganese peroxidase

“…There is evidence that Cd II can substitute for Mn II in other enzymes, such as photosystem II [41] and Mn‐dependent protein serine phosphatase [42]. Furthermore, Mn II and Cd II can replace other hard metals, such as Mg II , in the binuclear metal‐binding site of d ‐xylose isomerase [43] and Ca II in peanut peroxidase [44], phospholipase A [45,46], and Ca II ‐dependent endonuclease [47]. Finally, there is evidence that Cd II can effectively compete with Mn II in Mn II ‐specific transport systems [48–50].…”
