Description : (at1g07890 : 356.0) Encodes a cytosolic ascorbate peroxidase APX1. Ascorbate peroxidases are enzymes that scavenge hydrogen peroxide in plant cells. Eight types of APX have been described for Arabidopsis: three cytosolic (APX1, APX2, APX6), two chloroplastic types (stromal sAPX, thylakoid tAPX), and three microsomal (APX3, APX4, APX5) isoforms. At least part of the induction of heat shock proteins during light stress in Arabidopsis is mediated by H2O2 that is scavenged by APX1. Expression of the gene is downregulated in the presence of paraquat, an inducer of photoxidative stress.; ascorbate peroxidase 1 (APX1); FUNCTIONS IN: L-ascorbate peroxidase activity; INVOLVED IN: response to reactive oxygen species, response to salt stress, response to heat, hydrogen peroxide catabolic process, embryo development ending in seed dormancy; LOCATED IN: cytosol, chloroplast, plasma membrane; EXPRESSED IN: 26 plant structures; EXPRESSED DURING: 16 growth stages; CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: Haem peroxidase (InterPro:IPR010255), Plant ascorbate peroxidase (InterPro:IPR002207), Peroxidases heam-ligand binding site (InterPro:IPR019793), Haem peroxidase, plant/fungal/bacterial (InterPro:IPR002016), Peroxidase, active site (InterPro:IPR019794); BEST Arabidopsis thaliana protein match is: ascorbate peroxidase 2 (TAIR:AT3G09640.2); Has 30201 Blast hits to 17322 proteins in 780 species: Archae - 12; Bacteria - 1396; Metazoa - 17338; Fungi - 3422; Plants - 5037; Viruses - 0; Other Eukaryotes - 2996 (source: NCBI BLink). & (p48534|apx1_pea : 356.0) L-ascorbate peroxidase, cytosolic (EC 1.11.1.11) (AP) (PsAPx01) - Pisum sativum (Garden pea) & (reliability: 712.0) & (original description: no original description)
