New bromoperoxidases of marine origin: partial purification and characterization.

Enzymes capable of catalyzing the bromination of p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol by Br- have been shown to be present in crude homogenates of the alga Rhodomela larix (Rhodophyta). There are also indications of such activity in the marine invertebrates Thelepus setosus and Ptychodera flava laysanica. Detailed analysis of R. larix samples indicated that the activity in this species is greatest in the late spring and summer. After partial purification the enzyme had a pH optimum of approx. 4.4, a temperature optimum around 32 degrees C and was inhibited by NaN3. This algal bromoperoxidase requires the presence of H2O2 and can brominate monochlorodimedon and oxidize iodide, but it cannot oxidize chloride. The enzyme appears to be particulate.

Unique sequence DNA transcripts present in mature oocytes of Urechis caupo.

DNA - DNA reannealing of sheared Urechis caupo DNA indicates that the genome is composed of two major repetitive sequence families. The repetitive sequence DNA families compose 8 and 7% of the DNA and are repeated in the genome on an average of 2.0 - 10-6 and 6.0 - 10-3 times, respectively. The unique sequence DNA composed a minimum of 75% of the genome and the rate of reannealing indicates a complexity of 2.6 - 10-8 nucleotide pairs per genome. Hybridization of isolated 3-H-labeled unique sequence DNA with an excess of unlabeled mature oocyte RNA provides a minimum estimate of the genetic diversity of the RNA present in the mature oocytes. The apparent saturation level of unique sequence DNA with RNA indicates that about 8.6% of the unique sequence DNA is expressed. Based on the fraction of the DNA that forms a stable hybrid and the complexity of the unique sequence DNA the RNA present in the mature oocyte is a complementary with 2.2 - 10-7 nucleotide pairs of unique sequence DNA.
