The presence of the metalloenzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) in peroxisomes from leaves ofPisum sativumL. was studied. Plant organelles were isolated by differential and Percoll density-gradient centrifugation. Purified intact peroxisomes contained a superoxide dismutase isozyme which was identified, on the basis of polyacrylamide-gel analysis and KCN- and H2O2-sensitivity, as a Mn-containing SOD (Mn-SOD). By determination of latency of superoxide dismutase activity in intact peroxisomes, Mn-SOD was demonstrated to be located in the interior of these oxidative organelles. In terms of specific activity, the peroxisomal Mn superoxide dismutase represents at least 50% of the whole SOD activity occurring in mitochondria. The presence of a Mn-SOD in peroxisomes strongly suggests the generation in these oxidative organelles of superoxide free radicals (O2.−), the substrate of the enzyme, as well as new activated oxygen-related functions for peroxisomes in cellular metabolism.
