Biochem/physiol Actions

Chloroperoxidase (CPO) is a 42,000 Da extracellular heme glycoenzyme containing ferriprotoporphyrin IX as the prosthetic group. CPO is secreted from fungus and exhibits a broad spectrum of chemical reactivities. It is a peroxide-dependent chlorinating enzyme. It also catalyzes peroxidase-, catalase- and cytochrome P450-type reactions of dehydrogenation, H2O2 decomposition and oxygen insertion, respectively. The enzyme has magnetic and spectroscopic properties similar to that of cyctochrome P-450. CPO from the fungus Caldariomyces fumago has the capacity to chlorinate aromatic hydrocarbons, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

Physical form

Purified suspension in 0.1 M sodium phosphate solution, pH approx. 4.5

Other Notes

One unit will catalyze the conversion of 1.0 μmole of monochlorodimedon to dichlorodimedon per min at pH 2.75 at 25 °C in the presence of potassium chloride and H2O2.

Agrocybe aegerita, a bark mulch- and wood-colonizing basidiomycete, was found to produce a peroxidase (AaP) that oxidizes aryl alcohols, such as veratryl and benzyl alcohols, into the corresponding aldehydes and then into benzoic acids. The enzyme also catalyzed the oxidation

Chloroperoxidase (CPO) is thought to be the most versatile heme-containing enzyme with enormous applications in organic synthesis, biotransformation, pharmaceutical production, and detoxification of environmental pollutants. Any improvement in the stability of this enzyme will greatly enhance its application in the

Azide is a well-known inhibitor of heme-enzymes. Herein, we report the counter-intuitive observation that at some concentration regimes, incorporation of azide in the reaction medium enhances chloroperoxidase (CPO, a heme-enzyme) mediated one-electron abstractions from several substrates. A diffusible azidyl radical

Heme peroxidases are subject to a mechanism-based oxidative inactivation. During the catalytic cycle, the heme group is activated to form highly oxidizing species, which may extract electrons from the protein itself. In this work, we analyze changes in residues prone
