Comparative analysis of ascorbate peroxidases (APXs) from selected plants with a special focus on Oryza sativa employing public databases.

ABSTRACT: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced by plants. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is one important component of ROS and able to modulate plant growth and development at low level and damage plant cells at high concentrations. Ascorbate peroxidase (APX) shows high affinity towards H2O2 and plays vital roles in H2O2-scavenging. In order to explore the differences of APXs from selected plant species, bioinformatics methods and public databases were used to evaluate the physicochemical properties, conserved motifs, potential modifications and cis-elements in all the APXs, and protein-protein network and expression profiles of rice APXs. The results suggested that APXs in the selected plant species showed high evolutionary conservation and were able to divide into seven groups, group I to VII. Mem
