Ascorbate peroxidase (APX) is a heme-containing protein that plays a central role in scavenging H2O2 in higher plants. The structure of stromal APX (sAPX) was determined mined at 1.6 Angstrom to an R-factor of 19.1% and an R-free-factor of 22.3%. The electrostatic potential of the gamma-channel that connects the molecular surface of sAPX to the gamma-edge of heme was more positive than that of cytosolic APX (cAPX) from pea, so sAPX might bind more easily with ascorbate than cAPX. The overall structure of sAPX was similar to those of cAPX from pea and cytochrome c peroxidase (CCP) from yeast, with a substantial difference in a loop structure located in the vicinity of the heme. The side chain of Arg169 in sAPX corresponding to His169 in cAPX and His181 in CCP extended in the opposite direction from the heme, forming two hydrogen bonds with carbonyl groups in the loop structure. The rapid inactivation of sAPX might be due to the characteristic conformation of Arg169 owing to the loop structure of sAPX.
