FunFam 1: Peroxidasin homolog

There are 3 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

Peroxidase. [EC: 1.11.1.7]
2 phenolic donor + H(2)O(2) = 2 phenoxyl radical of the donor + 2 H(2)O.

    Iodide peroxidase. [EC: 1.11.1.8]
    (1) 2 iodide + H(2)O(2) + 2 H(+) = diiodine + 2 H(2)O. (2) [Thyroglobulin]-L-tyrosine + iodide + H(2)O(2) = [thyroglobulin]-3- iodo-L-tyrosine + 2 H(2)O. (3) [Thyroglobulin]-3-iodo-L-tyrosine + iodide + H(2)O(2) = [thyroglobulin]-3,5-diiodo-L-tyrosine + 2 H(2)O. (4) 2 [thyroglobulin]-3,5-diiodo-L-tyrosine + H(2)O(2) = [thyroglobulin]- L-thyroxine + [thyroglobulin]-aminoacrylate + 2 H(2)O. (5) [Thyroglobulin]-3-iodo-L-tyrosine + [thyroglobulin]-3,5-diiodo-L- tyrosine + H(2)O(2) = [thyroglobulin]-3,5,3'-triiodo-L-thyronine + [thyroglobulin]-aminoacrylate + 2 H(2)O.
    • Thyroid peroxidase catalyzes the biosynthesis of the thyroid hormones L-thyroxine and triiodo-L-thyronine.
    • It catalyzes both the iodination of tyrosine residues in thyroglobulin (forming mono- and di-iodinated forms) and their coupling to form either L-thyroxine or triiodo-L-thyronine.

    Myeloperoxidase. [EC: 1.11.2.2]
    Cl(-) + H(2)O(2) + H(+) = HClO + H(2)O.
    • Is present in phagosomes of neutrophils and monocytes, where the hypochlorite produced is strongly bactericidal.
    • It differs from EC 1.11.1.10 in its preference for formation of hypochlorite over the chlorination of organic substrates under physiological conditions (pH 5-8).
    • Hypochlorite in turn forms a number of antimicrobial products (Cl(2), chloramines, hydroxyl radical, singlet oxygen).
    • MPO also oxidizes bromide, iodide and thiocyanate.
    • In the absence of halides, it oxidizes phenols and has a moderate peroxygenase activity toward styrene.
