The nitroxyl anion (NO-) is a highly reactive molecule that may be involved in pathophysiological actions associated with increased formation of reactive nitrogen oxide species. Angeli's salt (Na2N2O3; AS) is a NO- donor that has been shown to exert marked cytotoxicity. However, its decomposition intermediates have not been well characterized. In this study, the chemical reactivity of AS was examined and compared with that of peroxynitrite (ONOO-) and NO/N2O3. Under aerobic conditions, AS and ONOO- exhibited similar and considerably higher affinities for dihydrorhodamine (DHR) than NO/N2O3. Quenching of DHR oxidation by azide and nitrosation of diaminonaphthalene were exclusively observed with NO/N2O3. Additional comparison of ONOO- and AS chemistry demonstrated that ONOO- was a far more potent one-electron oxidant and nitrating agent of hydroxyphenylacetic acid than was AS. However, AS was more effective at hydroxylating benzoic acid than was ONOO-. Taken together, these data indicate that neither NO/N2O3 nor ONOO- is an intermediate of AS decomposition. Evaluation of the stoichiometry of AS decomposition and O2 consumption revealed a 1:1 molar ratio. Indeed, oxidation of DHR mediated by AS proved to be oxygen-dependent. Analysis of the end products of AS decomposition demonstrated formation of NO2- and NO3- in approximately stoichiometric ratios. Several mechanisms are proposed for O2 adduct formation followed by decomposition to NO3- or by oxidation of an HN2O3- molecule to form NO2-. Given that the cytotoxicity of AS is far greater than that of either NO/N2O3 or NO + O2, this study provides important new insights into the implications of the potential endogenous formation of NO- under inflammatory conditions in vivo. 相似文献

Nitric oxide (NO) has been found to inhibit the actions of the transmembrane metal reductase Fre1 in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This membrane-spanning heme protein is homologous to the gp91(PHOX) protein of the NADPH oxidase enzyme complex and is responsible for reducing extracellular oxidized metals (i.e., ferric and cupric ions) before high-affinity uptake. Consistent with its role in metal metabolism, inhibition of Fre1 by NO also inhibited yeast growth in low-iron medium. Inhibition by NO was found to be O(2)-dependent and irreversible. Further examination of the chemistry responsible for activity loss shows that the generation of N(2)O(3) via NO-O(2) chemistry was responsible for the activity loss, possibly via nitrosation of the protein followed by loss of the heme prosthetic group. 相似文献

Redox signaling: thiol chemistry defines which reactive oxygen and nitrogen species can act as second messengers 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Except for the role of NO in the activation of guanylate cyclase, which is well established, the involvement of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) in signal transduction remains controversial, despite a large body of evidence suggestive of their participation in a variety of signaling pathways. Several problems have limited their acceptance as signaling molecules, with the major one being the difficulty in identifying the specific targets for each pathway and the chemical reactions supporting reversible oxidation of these signaling components, consistent with a second messenger role for ROS and RNS. Nevertheless, it has become clear that cysteine residues in the thiolate (i.e., ionized) form that are found in some proteins can be specific targets for reaction with H2O2 and RNS. This review focuses on the chemistry of the reversible oxidation of those thiolates, with a particular emphasis on the critical thiolate found in protein tyrosine phosphatases as an example. hydrogen peroxide; thiolate; nitrosothiol; nitric oxide; signal transduction 相似文献

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) have recently been shown to be involved in a multiplicity of physiological responses through modulation of signaling pathways. Some of the specific signaling components altered by reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) have begun to be identified. We will discuss RONS signaling by detailing the chemistry of signaling, the roles of antioxidant enzymes as signaling components, thiol chemistry in the specificity of RONS signaling, .NO-heme interactions, and some do's and don'ts of redox signal research. The principal points raised are that: (1) as with classic signaling pathways, signaling by RONS is regulated; (2) antioxidant enzymes are essential 'turn-off components in signaling; (3) spatial relationships are probably more important in RONS signaling than the overall 'redox state' of the cell; (4) deprotonation of cysteines to form the thiolate, which can react with RONS, occurs in specific protein sites providing specificity in signaling; (5) although multiple chemical mechanisms exist for producing nitrosothiols, their formation in vivo remains unclear; and (6) caution should be taken in the use of 'antioxidants' in signal transduction. 相似文献

Nitroxyl (HNO) has received recent and significant interest due to its novel and potentially important pharmacology. However, the chemical/biochemical mechanism(s) responsible for its biological activity remain to be established. Some of the most important biological targets for HNO are thiols and thiol proteins. Consistent with this, it was recently reported that HNO inhibits the glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), a protein with a catalytically important cysteine thiol at its active site. Interestingly, it was reported that intracellular GAPDH inhibition occurred without significantly altering the cellular thiol redox status of glutathione. Herein, the nature of this reaction specificity was examined. HNO is found to irreversibly inhibit GAPDH in a manner that can be protected against by one of its substrates, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G-3-P). These results are consistent with the idea that HNO has the ability to react with and oxidize a variety of intracellular thiols and the ease or facility of cellular re-reduction of the thiol targets can determine the target specificity. 相似文献

Nitroxyl (HNO) exhibits unique pharmacological properties that often oppose those of nitric oxide (NO), in part due to differences in reactivity toward thiols. Prior investigations suggested that the end products arising from the association of HNO with thiols were condition-dependent, but were inconclusive as to product identity. We therefore used HPLC techniques to examine the chemistry of HNO with glutathione (GSH) in detail. Under biological conditions, exposure to HNO donors converted GSH to both the sulfinamide [GSONH2] and the oxidized thiol (GSSG). Higher thiol concentrations generally favored a higher GSSG ratio, suggesting that the products resulted from competitive consumption of a single intermediate (GSNHOH). Formation of GSONH2 was not observed with other nitrogen oxides (NO, N2O3, NO2, or ONOO(-)),indicating that it is a unique product of the reaction of HNO with thiols. The HPLC assay was able to detect submicromolar concentrations of GSONH2. Detection of GSONH2 was then used as a marker for HNO production from several proposed biological pathways, including thiol-mediated decomposition of S-nitrosothiols and peroxidase-driven oxidation of hydroxylamine (an end product of the reaction between GSH and HNO) and NG-hydroxy-l-arginine (an NO synthase intermediate). These data indicate that free HNO can be biosynthesized and thus may function as an endogenous signaling agent that is regulated by GSH content. 相似文献

A mosquito larval enzyme system requiring NADPH2 as cofactor for metabolism of the N-methylcarbamate insecticides propoxur, carbaryl, carbofuran and aldicarb has been demonstrated. Freshly prepared homogenate catalyzes various oxidative reactions involving initial hydroxylation of benzene, naphthalene, and furan rings, hydroxylation of N-methyl group, O-dealkylation, N-dealkylation and thioether oxidation to sulfoxides and sulfones. The reactions are primarily oxidative; however, in certain cases, trace amounts of hydrolysis products are also obtained. Inhibitors of mixed function oxidases and synergists inhibit the metabolism of propoxur. Mosquito larval mixed function oxidases appear to be different from those of other insects, in respect to enzyme stability, presence of endogenous inhibitors, and certain requirements for incubation conditions.
Zusammenfassung Für die Umwandlung der N-Methylcarbamat-Insektizide Propoxur, Carbaryl, Carbofuran und Aldicarb wird in Mückenlarven ein NADPH2-benötigendes Enzymsystem nachgewiesen. Frisch hergestellte Homogenate katalysieren verschiedene oxydative Reaktionen wie die Hydroxylierung von Benzol, Naphtalin und Furan-Ringen, die Hydroxylierung von N-Methyl-Gruppen, die O-dealkylierung, die N-dealkylierung und Thioäther-Oxydation zu Sulfoxyden und Sulfonen. Die Reaktionen sind primär oxydativ; jedoch werden in bestimmten Fällen auch Spuren von Hydrolyse-Produkten erhalten. Inhibitoren der Oxydasen gemischter Funktion und Synergisten verhindern den Abbau von Propoxur. Oxydasen gemischter Funktion der Mückenlarven scheinen von denen anderer Insekten im Hinblick auf die Enzym-Stabilität, die Anwesenheit endogener Inhibitoren und gewisse Anforderungen an die Inkubationsbedingungen verschieden zu sein.相似文献

Hydrogen sulfide is an endogenously generated molecule with many reported physiological functions. Although several biological targets have been proposed, the biochemical mechanisms by which it elicits activity are not established. Thus, in an effort to begin to delineate the fundamental biological chemistry of H2S, we have examined the reaction of H2S with oxidized thiols and thiol proteins in order to determine whether persulfide formation occurs, is stable and how this may affect protein function. We have found that persulfides are easily generated, relatively stable and can alter enzyme activity. Moreover, we have begun to develop methodology for in situ generation of persulfides to facilitate further study of this potentially important species. 相似文献
