Abstract

Peroxidases are widespread in animal and plant tissues, wherein they perform a variety of functions. Peroxidases have a broad specificity for substrates of various chemical structures. Along with hydrogen peroxide, phenolic compounds, and toxic compounds of aromatic nature, nitrogen-containing compounds are substrates for peroxidases. This work is devoted to the study of the role of wheat extracellular peroxidases in the metabolism of nitrogen-containing compounds. It has been shown that partially purified isozymes differing in peroxidase activity are involved in the metabolism of nitrogen-containing compounds. The formation of primary and secondary phenoxyl radicals during the combined oxidation of chlorogenic acid, nitrite, and H2O2 was demonstrated. With cooxidation with purified isoenzymes p˗coumaric acid and nitrite, the formation of 4˗hydroxy˗3˗nitrocinnamic acid was revealed. It is assumed that the same isoforms can participate both in the oxidation of nitrite with the formation of nitrophenol and in the reduction of nitrate. The participation of plant peroxidases in nitrogen metabolism can be represented as a set of reactions for the reduction and/or oxidation of nitrogen of different oxidation states with the formation of active intermediates.
