1 Activation/deactivation of acetylcholinesterase by H2O2: more evidence for oxidative stress in vitiligo. Hydrogen Peroxide acetylcholinesterase (Cartwright blood group) Homo sapiens
2 Using fluorescence immunohistochemistry we now show that epidermal H2O2 in vitiligo patients yields also almost absent epidermal acetylcholinesterase (AchE). Hydrogen Peroxide acetylcholinesterase (Cartwright blood group) Homo sapiens
3 Using fluorescence immunohistochemistry we now show that epidermal H2O2 in vitiligo patients yields also almost absent epidermal acetylcholinesterase (AchE). Hydrogen Peroxide acetylcholinesterase (Cartwright blood group) Homo sapiens
4 A kinetic analysis using pure recombinant human AchE revealed that low concentrations of H2O2 (10(-6)M) activate this enzyme by increasing the Vmax>2-fold, meanwhile high concentrations of H2O2 (10(-3)M) inhibit the enzyme with a significant decrease in Vmax. Hydrogen Peroxide acetylcholinesterase (Cartwright blood group) Homo sapiens
5 A kinetic analysis using pure recombinant human AchE revealed that low concentrations of H2O2 (10(-6)M) activate this enzyme by increasing the Vmax>2-fold, meanwhile high concentrations of H2O2 (10(-3)M) inhibit the enzyme with a significant decrease in Vmax. Hydrogen Peroxide acetylcholinesterase (Cartwright blood group) Homo sapiens
6 Molecular modelling based on the established 3D structure of human AchE supported that H2O2-mediated oxidation of Trp(432), Trp(435), and Met(436) moves and disorients the active site His(440) of the enzyme, leading to deactivation of the protein. Hydrogen Peroxide acetylcholinesterase (Cartwright blood group) Homo sapiens
7 To our knowledge these results identified for the first time H2O2 regulation of AchE. Hydrogen Peroxide acetylcholinesterase (Cartwright blood group) Homo sapiens
8 Moreover, it was shown that H2O2-mediated oxidation of AchE contributes significantly to the well-established oxidative stress in vitiligo. Hydrogen Peroxide acetylcholinesterase (Cartwright blood group) Homo sapiens
