Peroxidase.

Peroxidase.

cationic peroxidase; Provisional

Horseradish peroxidase and related secretory plant peroxidases. Secretory peroxidases belong to class III of the plant heme-dependent peroxidase superfamily. All members of the superfamily share a heme prosthetic group and catalyze a multistep oxidative reaction involving hydrogen peroxide as the electron acceptor. Class III peroxidases are found in the extracellular space or in the vacuole in plants where they have been implicated in hydrogen peroxide detoxification, auxin catabolism and lignin biosynthesis, and stress response. Class III peroxidases contain four conserved disulphide bridges and two conserved calcium binding sites.

Dbr1 RNA lariat debranching enzyme, N-terminal metallophosphatase domain. Dbr1 is an RNA lariat debranching enzyme that hydrolyzes 2'-5' phosphodiester bonds at the branch points of excised intron lariats. This alignment model represents the N-terminal metallophosphatase domain of Dbr1. This domain belongs to the metallophosphatase (MPP) superfamily. MPPs are functionally diverse, but all share a conserved domain with an active site consisting of two metal ions (usually manganese, iron, or zinc) coordinated with octahedral geometry by a cage of histidine, aspartate, and asparagine residues. The MPP superfamily includes: Mre11/SbcD-like exonucleases, Dbr1-like RNA lariat debranching enzymes, YfcE-like phosphodiesterases, purple acid phosphatases (PAPs), YbbF-like UDP-2,3-diacylglucosamine hydrolases, and acid sphingomyelinases (ASMases). The conserved domain is a double beta-sheet sandwich with a di-metal active site made up of residues located at the C-terminal side of the sheets. This domain is thought to allow for productive metal coordination.
