Over-expression of dehydroascorbate reductase enhances oxidative stress tolerance in tobacco [PDF]
Background: Ascorbic acid (Asc) is one of the most abundant antioxidants and it serves as a major contributor to protect plants against oxidative damage. Plants use two enzymes that participate in the metabolic recycling of Asc.

Purification and characterization of glutathione-dependent dehydroascorbate reductase from rat liver [PDF]
GSH-dependent enzymic reduction of dehydroascorbic acid to ascorbic acid has been studied in rat liver cytosol. After gel filtration of cytosol on Sephadex G-100 SF, dehydroascorbate reductase activity was recovered in two distinct peaks, one corresponding to glutaredoxin (an enzyme already known for its dehydroascorbate reductase activity) and another,

A Computational Study of the Role of Secondary Metabolites for Mitigation of Acid Soil Stress in Cereals Using Dehydroascorbate and Mono-Dehydroascorbate Reductases [PDF]
The present study investigates the potential ameliorative role of seven secondary metabolites, viz., ascorbate (AsA), reduced glutathione (GSH), jasmonic acid (JA), salicylic acid (SA), serotonin (5-HT), indole–3–acetic acid (IAA) and gibberellic acid (GA3), for mitigation of aluminium (Al3+) and manganese (Mn2+) stress associated with acidic soils in ...

Identification and Analysis of Proteins Sharing Dehydroascorbate Reductase Activity
Dehydroascorbate (DHA)-reducing proteins were observed using a native-PAGE/activity staining method, and identified in soybean and rice by Western analysis using antibodies against homologous protein known to catalyse DHA reduction. Administration of 1 mM DHA apparently did not trigger DHA reductase activity in lupin and onion, whereas activity was ...

A Novel and Potentially MultifacetedDehydroascorbate Reductase Increasing theAntioxidant Systems Is Induced by Beauvericinin Tomato. [PDF]
Dehydroascorbate reductases (DHARs) are important enzymes that reconvert the dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) into ascorbic acid (ASC). They are involved in the plant response to oxidative stress, such as that induced by the mycotoxin beauvericin (BEA). Tomato

The competitive interplay of 12-oxophytodienoic acid (OPDA), protein thiols, and glutathione. [PDF]
12‐Oxophytodienoic acid (OPDA) is a phytohormone involved in plant growth and stress defense. Due to its cyclopentenone moiety, OPDA can form Michael adducts with thiol‐containing compounds such as glutathione and cysteine residues of proteins, resulting in alterations of the cellular redox regulatory network.
