Peroxidase content of soybean root nodules. 1980

A Puppo, and J Rigaud, and D Job, and J Ricard, and B Zeba

A peroxidase has been isolated from soybean nodules and its main characteristics have been determined. Its molecular weight (48 000) and spectral properties are similar to those of usual plant peroxidases. Its activity is comparable to that of low-efficiency plant peroxidases. The rate constant of the reaction with H2O2 is 3 x 10(5) M-1 x s-1. In this reaction, nodule peroxidase yields an oxidized intermediate analogous to the compound I species of peroxidases already studied. A comparison is made with the pseudoperoxidatic activity of soybean leghemoglobin components. Leghemoglobins a and c react with H2O2 with rate constants of 5 x 10(3) and 2.5 x 10(3) M-1 x s-1, respectively, yielding the leghemoglobin (IV) species. During these reactions leghemoglobins are inactivated.

D007874 Leghemoglobin A hemoglobin-like oxygen-binding hemeprotein present in the nitrogen-fixing root nodules of leguminous plants. The red pigment has a molecular weight approximately 1/4 that of hemoglobin and has been suggested to act as an oxido-reduction catalyst in symbiotic nitrogen fixation. Leghemoglobin A

D010944 Plants Multicellular, eukaryotic life forms of kingdom Plantae. Plants acquired chloroplasts by direct endosymbiosis of CYANOBACTERIA. They are characterized by a mainly photosynthetic mode of nutrition; essentially unlimited growth at localized regions of cell divisions (MERISTEMS); cellulose within cells providing rigidity; the absence of organs of locomotion; absence of nervous and sensory systems; and an alternation of haploid and diploid generations. It is a non-taxonomical term most often referring to LAND PLANTS. In broad sense it includes RHODOPHYTA and GLAUCOPHYTA along with VIRIDIPLANTAE. Plant
