Summary

Oxidases are a widespread group of enzymes. They are present in numerous organisms and organs and in various tissues, cells, and subcellular compartments, such as mitochondria. An important source of oxidases, which is investigated and discussed in this study, are the (micro)peroxisomes. Oxidases share the ability to reduce molecular oxygen during oxidation of their substrate, yielding an oxidized product and hydrogen peroxide. Besides the hydrogen peroxide-catabolizing enzyme catalase, peroxisomes contain one or more hydrogen peroxide-generating oxidases, which participate in different metabolic pathways. During the last four decades, various methods have been developed and elaborated for the histochemical localization of the activities of these oxidases. These methods are based either on the reduction of soluble electron acceptors by oxidase activity or on the capture of hydrogen peroxide. Both methods yield a coloured and/or electron dense precipitate. The most reliable technique in peroxisomal oxidase histochemistry is the cerium salt capture method. This method is based on the direct capture of hydrogen peroxide by cerium ions to form a fine crystalline, insoluble, electron dense reaction product, cerium perhydroxide, which can be visualized for light microscopy with diaminobenzidine. With the use of this technique, it became clear that oxidase activities not only vary between different organisms, organs, and tissues, but that heterogeneity also exists between different cells and within cells, i.e. between individual peroxisomes. A literature review, and recent studies performed in our laboratory, show that peroxisomes are highly differentiated organelles with respect to the presence of active enzymes. This study gives an overview of thein situ distribution and heterogeneity of peroxisomal enzyme activities as detected by histochemical assays of the activities of catalase, and the peroxisomal oxidasesd-amino acid oxidase,l-α-hydroxy acid oxidase, polyamine oxidase and uric acid oxidase.
