Hydroxypyruvate reductase (HPR; EC 1.1.1.81) activity is integral to the photorespiratory pathway. Within photorespiration, HPR catalyzes the reduction of hydroxypyruvate, a product of the serine:glyoxylate aminotransferase reaction to glycerate, a substrate for glycerate kinase, using NADH as cofactor. Here we detail a spectrophotometric assay for measuring HPR activity in vitro by following the consumption of NADH at 340 nm.
羟丙酮还原酶(HPR;EC 1.1.1.81)的活性是光呼吸途径所必需的。在光呼吸中,HPR 催化羟丙酮的还原,羟丙酮是丝氨酸:乙醛酸转氨酶反应的产物,生成甘油酸,甘油酸是甘油酸激酶的底物,使用 NADH 作为辅助因子。在这里,我们详细介绍了一种分光光度法测定 HPR 体外活性的方法,通过在 340nm 处监测 NADH 的消耗来进行。
