Substitution of nucleoside triphosphates for ascorbate in the thymine 7-hydroxylase reaction of Rhodotorula glutinis. 1979

L M Wondrack, and B J Warn, and M D Saewert, and M T Abbott

Nucleoside di- and triphosphates substituted for ascorbate in the thymine 7-hydroxylase reaction in studies carried out with purified preparations from Rhodotorula glutinis. The stimulations brought about by ascorbate and ATP were found not to be additive. Studies with analogues of ATP indicated that hydrolysis may not need to occur in order for the nucleotide effect to be expressed. The stoichiometry of the production of 5-hydroxymethyluracil and CO2 was not changed by the substitution of ATP for ascorbate. The 7-hydroxylase was found to have considerable thermal stability, and inactivation at 98 degrees C resulted in a parallel loss of the activities effected by ascorbate and ATP. This and the retention of the nucleotide effect upon purification suggest the effect is not mediated through another protein co-purified with the 7-hydroxylase.

D006899 Mixed Function Oxygenases Widely distributed enzymes that carry out oxidation-reduction reactions in which one atom of the oxygen molecule is incorporated into the organic substrate; the other oxygen atom is reduced and combined with hydrogen ions to form water. They are also known as monooxygenases or hydroxylases. These reactions require two substrates as reductants for each of the two oxygen atoms. There are different classes of monooxygenases depending on the type of hydrogen-providing cosubstrate (COENZYMES) required in the mixed-function oxidation.

D001205 Ascorbic Acid A six carbon compound related to glucose. It is found naturally in citrus fruits and many vegetables. Ascorbic acid is an essential nutrient in human diets, and necessary to maintain connective tissue and bone. Its biologically active form, vitamin C, functions as a reducing agent and coenzyme in several metabolic pathways. Vitamin C is considered an antioxidant.
