摘要
交替氧化酶(a lternative ox idase,AOX)是植物线粒体呼吸链中抗氰呼吸途径(cyan ide-res istan t resp irationpathw ay)的末端氧化酶,它广泛存在于高等植物及部分真菌和藻类中。交替氧化酶是一种双铁羧基蛋白(d i-ironcarboxy late prote in),它不仅具有其它双铁羧基蛋白共有的结构特点以及去除分子氧的功能,更重要的是它还可以通过改变自身结构等方式来主动调节抗氰呼吸途径的运行程度,进而调节细胞多方面的代谢和功能,以适应环境条件的改变,增强植物适应各种逆境的能力,调节植物生长速率,并与细胞凋亡和光合作用相关。本文主要对交替氧化酶的结构与其在植物体内功能的最新研究进展进行综述。
Alternative oxidase is the terminal oxidase in the cyanide-resistant respiration pathway in plant mitochondria,which widely existing in higher plants and parts of fungi and algae. As a di-iron carboxylate protein, Alternative oxidase possesses the structural characters shared by other di-iron carboxylate proteins and the function of removing molecular oxygen,and more importantly it is capable of regulating the operation of the cyanide-resistant respiration by changing its own structure to change many cellular metabolisms and functions to adapt to environmental changes,thereby enhancing various capabilities of a plant to resist adverse environments ,and adjusting the growth rate of the plant;furthermore, it is related to cellular dying and photosynthesis. The paper mainly summarizes the latest research advances about the structure and functions of alternative oxidase in plant bodies.
