Application
Pulmonary artery endothelial cells treated with PEG-catalase showed effective inhibition of 20- HETE (hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid)-induced increase in fluorescence. However, the experiment excludes potential nonspecific fluorescence of DCF (dichlorofluorescein). This experiment studied the effect of 20-HETE on superoxide production and NADPH oxidase activation.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Catalase from bovine liver catalyzes the decomposition of H2O2 into water and oxygen. It is a tetramer consisting of four equal subunits with a molecular weight of 60 kDa each. Each subunit contains iron bound to a protoheme IX group. The enzyme also strongly binds NADP, which is in close proximity to the heme group. Catalase activity is constant over the pH range of 4.0-8.5. The pI is found to be 5.4. The enzyme activity is inhibited by 3-amino-1-H-1,2,4 triazole, cyanide, azide, hydroxylamine, cyanogen bromide, 2-mercaptoethanol, dithiothreitol, dianisidine, and nitrate. Incubation of catalase with ascorbate or ascorbate/Cu2+ results in degradation of the catalase molecule. It does not require any activators.

ERK-dependent signaling is key to many pathways through which extracellular signals are transduced into cell-fate decisions. One conundrum is the way in which disparate signals induce specific responses through a common, ERK-dependent kinase cascade. While studies have revealed intricate ways

The main characteristic of senescence is its stability which relies on the persistence of DNA damage. We show that unlike fibroblasts, senescent epithelial cells do not activate an ATM-or ATR-dependent DNA damage response (DDR), but accumulate oxidative-stress-induced DNA single-strand breaks
