Abstract
Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is one of the most studied enzymes of the plant peroxidase superfamily. HRP is also widely used in different bioanalytical applications and diagnostic kits. The methods of genetic engineering and protein design are now widely used to study the catalytic mechanism and to improve properties of the enzyme. Here we review the results of another approach to HRP modification-through the chemical modification of amino acids or prosthetic group of the enzyme. Computer models of HRPs with modified hemes are in good agreement with the experimental data.

Abstract
Here, seven new class III peroxidase genes of Rubia cordifolia L., RcPrx01-RcPrx07, were isolated and characterized. Expression of the Prx genes was studied in R. cordifolia aerial organs as well as in cells transformed with the rolB and rolC genes of Agrobacterium rhizogenes and cells transformed with the wild-type A. rhizogenes A4 strain. In rolC- and rolB-transformed cells, the rol genes were expressed under the control of the 35S promoter, whereas in A. rhizogenes A4-transformed cells the rol genes were expressed under the control of their native promoters. All studied peroxidase genes were greatly upregulated in rolB-overexpressing cells. In contrast, overexpression of the rolC gene and expression of the rol genes under the control of their native promoters had little effect on the abundance of peroxidase transcripts. In accordance with this observation, peroxidase activity was substantially increased in rolB cells and was slightly affected in other transformed cells. Our results indicate that rolB strictly affects the regulation of a set of seven R. cordifolia class III peroxidases.

Abstract
The open reading frame alr1585 of Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 encodes a heme-dependent peroxidase (Anabaena peroxidase [AnaPX]) belonging to the novel DyP-type peroxidase family (EC 1.11.1.X). We cloned and heterologously expressed the active form of the enzyme in Escherichia coli. The purified enzyme was a 53-kDa tetrameric protein with a pI of 3.68, a low pH optima (pH 4.0), and an optimum reaction temperature of 35 degrees C. Biochemical characterization revealed an iron protoporphyrin-containing heme peroxidase with a broad specificity for aromatic substrates such as guaiacol, 4-aminoantipyrine and pyrogallol. The enzyme efficiently catalyzed the decolorization of anthraquinone dyes like Reactive Blue 5, Reactive Blue 4, Reactive Blue 114, Reactive Blue 119, and Acid Blue 45 with decolorization rates of 262, 167, 491, 401, and 256 muM.min(-1), respectively. The apparent K(m) and k(cat)/K(m) values for Reactive Blue 5 were 3.6 muM and 1.2 x 10(7) M(-1) s(-1), respectively, while the apparent K(m) and k(cat)/K(m) values for H(2)O(2) were 5.8 muM and 6.6 x 10(6) M(-1) s(-1), respectively. In contrast, the decolorization activity of AnaPX toward azo dyes was relatively low but was significantly enhanced 2- to approximately 50-fold in the presence of the natural redox mediator syringaldehyde. The specificity and catalytic efficiency for hydrogen donors and synthetic dyes show the potential application of AnaPX as a useful alternative of horseradish peroxidase or fungal DyPs. To our knowledge, this study represents the only extensive report in which a bacterial DyP has been tested in the biotransformation of synthetic dyes.

Abstract
Dehaloperoxidase (DHP) from the terebellid polychaete, Amphitrite ornata, is the first hemoglobin that has peroxidase activity as part of its native function. The substrate 2,4,6-tribromophenol (TBP) is oxidatively debrominated by DHP to form 2,6-dibromoquinone (DBQ) in a two-electron process. There is a well-defined internal binding site for TBP above the heme, a feature not observed in other hemoglobins or peroxidases. A study of the pH dependence of the activity of DHP reveals a substantial difference in mechanism. From direct observation of the Soret band of the heme it is shown that the pKa for heme activation in protein DHP is 6.5. Below this pH the heme absorbance decreases in the presence of H2O2 with or without addition of substrate. The low pH data are consistent with significant heme degradation. Above pH 6.5 addition of H2O2 causes the heme to shift rapidly to a compound II spectrum and then slowly to an unidentified intermediate with an absorbance of 410 nm. However, the pKa of the substrate TBP is 6.8 and the greatest enzyme activity is observed above the pKa of TBP under conditions where the substrate is a phenolate anion (TPBO-). Although the mechanisms may differ, the data show that both neutral TBP and anionic TPBO- are converted to the quinone product. The mechanistic implications of the pH dependence are discussed by comparison other known peroxidases, which oxidize substrates at the heme edge.

Abstract
A peroxidase (30 kDa) has been purified from the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum to its homogeneity. The protein is a dimer of 15 kDa subunit as evident from SDS-PAGE and MALDI-TOF mass analysis. The antibodies developed against the purified protein cross-react selectively with this protein present in parasite lysate. It is a heme containing peroxidase [R/Z value (A408/A278)=2.33] showing characteristic heme spectra with Soret peak at 408 nm and visible peaks at 536 and 572 nm. Analysis of Soret spectra in presence or absence of cyanide or azide reveals that iron of heme is in Fe-III state. Circular dichroism spectral analysis establishes that this protein contains mainly alpha-helix (60-70%). H2O2 interacts with the heme moiety of the enzyme as evidenced by optical difference spectroscopy and spectral studies indicate the formation of catalytically active peroxidase-H2O2 complex (Soret peak at 413 nm) to exhibit peroxidase activity. During the erythrocytic stages of its life cycle, the parasite is exposed to oxidative stress. As the parasite is susceptible to oxidative stress, this peroxidase may offer antioxidant role by scavenging endogenous H2O2.

Abstract
Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) catalyzes the polymerization of free heme (beta-hematin formation) through its oxidation. Heme when added to HRP compound II (FeIV=O) causes spectral shift from 417 nm (Compound II) to 402 nm (native, FeIII) indicating that heme may be oxidized via one-electron transfer. Direct evidence for one-electron oxidation of heme by HRP intermediates is provided by the appearance of an E.s.r signal of a 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (spin trap)-heme radical adduct (a1H=14.75 G, a2H=4.0 G) in E.s.r studies. Heme-polymerization by HRP is inhibited by spin trap indicating that one-electron oxidation product of heme ultimately leads to the formation of heme-polymer. HRP, when incubated with diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEPC), a histidine specific reagent, shows concentration dependent loss of heme-polymerization indicating the role of histidine residues in the process. We suggest that HRP catalyzes the formation of heme-polymer through one-electron oxidation of free heme.

Abstract
Peroxidases have conquered a prominent position in biotechnology and associated research areas (enzymology, biochemistry, medicine, genetics, physiology, histo- and cytochemistry). They are one of the most extensively studied groups of enzymes and the literature is rich in research papers dating back from the 19th century. Nevertheless, peroxidases continue to be widely studied, with more than 2000 articles already published in 2002 (according to the Institute for Scientific Information). The importance of peroxidases is emphasised by their wide distribution among living organisms and by their multiple physiological roles. They have been divided into three superfamilies according to their source and mode of action: plant peroxidases, animal peroxidases and catalases. Among all peroxidases, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) has received a special attention and will be the focus of this review. A brief description of the three super-families is included in the first section of this review. In the second section, a comprehensive description of the present state of knowledge of the structure and catalytic action of HRP is presented. The physiological role of peroxidases in higher plants is described in the third section. And finally, the fourth section addresses the applications of peroxidases, especially HRP, in the environmental and health care sectors, and in the pharmaceutical, chemical and biotechnological industries.

Abstract
The enzyme 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid 8-phosphate (KDO 8-P) synthase from Escherichia coli that catalyzes the aldol-type condensation of D-arabinose 5-phosphate (A 5-P) and phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to give KDO 8-P and inorganic phosphate (P(i)) is inactivated by diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEPC). The inactivation is first-order in enzyme and DEPC. A second-order rate constant of 340 M(-1) min(-1) is obtained at pH 7.6 and 4 degrees C. The rate of inactivation is dependent on pH and the pH-inactivation rate data imply the involvement of an amino acid residue with a pK(a) value of 7.3. KDO 8-P synthase activity is not restored to the DEPC-inactivated enzyme following treatment with hydroxylamine. Complete loss of KDO 8-P synthase activity correlates with the ethoxyformylation of three histidine residues by DEPC. KDO 8-P synthase is protected against DEPC inactivation by PEP and partially protected against inactivation by A 5-P. To provide further evidence for the involvement or role of the histidine residues in the aldol-type condensation catalyzed by KDO 8-P synthase, all six histidines were individually mutated to either glycine or alanine. The kinetic constants for the three mutants H40A, H67G, and H246G were unaffected as compared to the wild type enzyme. In contrast, H241G demonstrates a >10-fold increase in K(M) for both PEP and A 5-P and a 4-fold reduction in k(cat), while H97G demonstrates an increase in K(M) for only A 5-P and a 2-fold reduction in k(cat). The activity of the H202G mutant was too low to be measured accurately but the data obtained indicated an approximate 400-fold reduction in k(cat). Circular dichroism measurements of the wild-type and mutant enzymes indicate modest structural changes in only the fully active H67G and H246G mutants. The H241G mutant is protected against DEPC inactivation by PEP and A 5-P to the same extent as the wild-type enzyme, suggesting that the functionally important H241 may not be located in the vicinity of the substrate binding sites. The H97G mutant is protected by PEP against DEPC inactivation to the same degree as the wild-type enzyme but is no longer protected by A 5-P. In the case of the H202G mutant, both A 5-P and PEP protect the mutant against DEPC inactivation but to different extents from those observed for the wild-type enzyme. The catalytic activity of the H97G mutant is partially restored (20% --> 60% of wild-type activity) in the presence of imidazole, while a minor amount of activity is restored to the H202G mutant (<1% --> 4% of wild-type activity) in the presence of imidazole.

Abstract
o-Succinylbenzoyl coenzyme A (OSB-CoA) synthetase, when treated with diethylpyrocarbonate (DEP), showed a time-dependent loss of enzyme activity. The inactivation follows pseudo-first-order kinetics with a second-order rate constant of 9.2 x 10(-4) +/- 1.4 x 10(-4) microM(-1) min(-1). The difference spectrum of the modified enzyme versus the native enzyme showed an increase in A242 that is characteristic of N-carbethoxyhistidine and was reversed by treatment with hydroxylamine. Inactivation due to nonspecific secondary structural changes in the protein and modification of tyrosine, lysine, or cysteine residues was ruled out. Kinetics of enzyme inactivation and the stoichiometry of histidine modification indicate that of the eight histidine residues modified per subunit of the enzyme, a single residue is responsible for the enzyme activity. A plot of the log reciprocal of the half-time of inactivation against the log DEP concentration further suggests that one histidine residue is involved in the catalysis. Further, the enzyme was partially protected from inactivation by either o-succinylbenzoic acid (OSB), ATP, or ATP plus Mg2+ while inactivation was completely prevented by the presence of the combination of OSB, ATP, and Mg2+. Thus, it appears that a histidine residue located at or near the active site of the enzyme is essential for activity. When His341 present in the previously identified ATP binding motif was mutated to Ala, the enzyme lost 65% of its activity and the Km for ATP increased 5.4-fold. Thus, His341 of OSB-CoA synthetase plays an important role in catalysis since it is probably involved in the binding of ATP to the enzyme.

Abstract
The interaction of recombinant ascorbate peroxidase (APX) with its physiological substrate, ascorbate, has been studied by electronic and NMR spectroscopies, and by phenylhydrazine-modification experiments. The binding interaction for the cyanide-bound derivative (APX-CN) is consistent with a 1:1 stoichiometry and is characterised by an equilibrium dissociation binding constant. Kd, of 11.6 +/- 0.4 microM (pH 7.002, mu = 0.10 M, 25.0 degrees C). Individual distances between the non-exchangeable substrate protons of APX-CN and the haem iron were determined by paramagnetic-relaxation NMR measurements, and the data indicate that the ascorbate binds 0.90-1.12 nm from the haem iron. The reaction of ferric APX with the suicide substrate phenylhydrazine yields predominantly (60%) a covalent haem adduct which is modified at the C20 carbon, indicating that substrate binding and oxidation is close to the exposed C20 position of the haem, as observed for other classical peroxidases. Molecular-modelling studies, using the NNM-derived distance restraints in conjunction with the crystal structure of the enzyme [Patterson, W. R. & Poulos, T. L. (1995) Biochemistry 34, 4331-4341], are consistent with binding of the substrate close to the C20 position and a possible functional role for alanine 134 (proline in other class-III peroxidases) is implicated.

Abstract
The site and characteristics of iodide binding to Arthromyces ramosus peroxidase were examined by x-ray crystallographic analysis, 1H and 127I NMR, and kinetic studies. X-ray analysis of an A. ramosus peroxidase crystal soaked in a KI solution at pH 5.5 showed that a single iodide ion is located at the entrance of the access channel to the distal side of the heme and lies between the two peptide segments, Phe90-Pro91-Ala92 and Ser151-Leu152-Ile153, 12.8 A from the heme iron. The distances between the iodide ion and heme peripheral methyl groups were all more than 10 A. The findings agree with the results obtained with 1H NMR in which the chemical shift and intensity of the methyl groups in the hyperfine shift region of A. ramosus peroxidase were hardly affected by the addition of iodide, unlike the case of horseradish peroxidase. Moreover, 127I NMR and steady-state kinetics showed that the binding of iodide depends on protonation of an amino acid residue with a pKa of about 5.3, which presumably is the distal histidine (His56), 7.8 A away from the iodide ion. The mechanism of electron transfer from the iodide ion to the heme iron is discussed on the basis of these findings.

Abstract
The observed pseudo-first order rate constant for the reaction between a horseradish peroxidase (HRP) variant (R38L)HRPC* and hydrogen peroxide saturates at high peroxide concentrations (Km = 11. 8 mm). The data are consistent with a two-step mechanism involving the formation of an HRP-H2O2 intermediate (k = 1.1 x 10(4) m-1 s-1) whose conversion to compound I is rate-limiting (k = 142 s-1) suggesting that Arg-38 is not only involved in the cleavage of the O-O bond of peroxide but also has an important role in facilitating the rapid binding of H2O2 to HRP. Rapid-scan spectrophotometry revealed the presence of a transient intermediate with a spectrum consistent with a ferric-hydroperoxy complex. At high peroxide concentrations (>500 microM), compound I is converted to compound III without the accumulation of compound II. Spectrophotometric titrations show that arginine 38 is also involved in modulating the apparent affinity of HRPC for reducing substrates such as guaiacol and p-cresol. The spectrum of the complex formed when these substrates bind to the ferric form of the mutant enzyme differs from that observed when they bind to the wild-type ferric enzyme. At neutral and alkaline pH compound I of (R38L)HRPC* was stable and reduced to ferric enzyme without apparent formation of compound II upon titration with p-cresol or ascorbic acid, suggesting a change in the rate-limiting step in the peroxidase cycle. Steady-state kinetic analyses carried out at pH 7.0 showed significant increases in the apparent Km for guaiacol, p-cresol, and 2, 2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazolinesulfonic acid) (ABTS). The high stability of the oxyferryl form of (R38L)HRPC* and its low catalytic constant for reducing substrates also shows that arginine 38 modulates the reactivity of HRP compound I.

Abstract
Reactivity of histidine residues of the Discopyge tschudii nicotinic acetylcholine receptor was studied by reaction with DEP and the influence of their modification on functional properties of the receptor was evaluated. Determination of two kinetically distinguishable classes was achieved. The fast-reacting class is composed of 7 histidine residues with an apparent velocity constant k1 = 0.0248 +/- 0.0031 min-1. The second includes--at least--21 histidine residues with a velocity constant k2 = 0.0016 +/- 0.0009 min-1. The circular dichroism spectra of the native receptor and the most DEP-derivative indicate no significant modifications in the alpha-helix content, and fourth derivative spectroscopy analyses show that the environment around the aromatic amino acids remains unchanged. DEP treatment of the receptor results in a time- and reagent concentration-dependent loss of its alpha-bungarotoxin binding ability; these results agree with those obtained with the membrane-bound receptor. The decrease in the neurotoxin binding capacity was correlated with the DEP-reaction extent of the slow groups. Incorporation of 1.93 +/- 0.23 mol of DEP accounted for the maximal binding capacity drop, thus indicating the involvement of two histidine residues per alpha-bungarotoxin binding site. Neither amino groups nor tyrosine residues were modified during the reaction with DEP, indicating that the derivatization of histidine residues is responsible for the observed effect. Faster-reacting residues appear to be involved in agonist-induced ion flux through the nAChR channel. These results strongly support the connection between histidine residues and the receptor functional activity and lead us to infer that the changes observed in alpha-bungarotoxin binding and ionic channel capacity are the consequence of independent events induced by reaction with DEP.

Abstract
The effects of methanol, acetone, and ethylene glycol (up to 50% v/v) on elementary steps in the reactions of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and lactoperoxidase (LPO) were studied by means of the stopped-flow method and the difference spectrum. The rate constant (k3,app) of the oxidation reaction of p-cresol with HRP compound II was remarkably reduced in the presence of organic solvents (to 2.3%, 1.8% and 9.4% of the original value in the presence of 50% (v/v) of methanol, acetone and ethylene glycol, respectively), then to a lesser degree were decreased the rate of the oxidation reaction with LPO compound II, and the rate of the oxidation reaction with HRP compound I. These reductions in the reaction rates were not due to competitive inhibition of the solvents, but considered to be related to the degree of exposure of the electron transfer route to the medium. While the rate constant of compound I formation (k1,app) was moderately affected by organic solvents in the case of HRP, the reaction rate with LPO was scarcely affected by organic solvents, being in harmony with the compact heme crevice which probably hampers penetration of solvent molecules. The rate constant (k2,i,app) of the oxidation reaction of an iodide ion by HRP compound I was also hardly affected by the solvents. On the basis of these facts, the mechanism of electron transfer from donors to compound I and compound II is discussed.
