  • Title: Irreversible inactivation of lactoperoxidase in the course of iodide oxidation.
    Author: Jenzer H, Bürgi U, Kohler H.
    Journal: Biochem Biophys Res Commun; 1987 Jan 30; 142(2):552-8. PubMed ID: 3814149.
    Abstract:
    In the course of lactoperoxidase-catalysed I- oxidation, which is a model for the initial step of thyroid hormone biosynthesis, irreversible enzyme inactivation can occur if free molecular iodine (I2) or other oxidized iodine species accumulate. Evidence is presented that the breakdown of the catalytic activity is the result of the iodination of the peroxidase-apoprotein. This kind of enzyme inactivation, which can be prevented by iodine acceptors' such as thyroglobulin or high concentrations of I-, may well play a role in the regulation of the synthesis of thyroid hormones in vivo.
