The fate of hydrogen peroxide has been investigated in rat liver microsomes. The net rate of formation of H2O2 appears to be independent of concomitant substrate hydroxylation in microsomes from controls and phenobarbital treated animals. If rats are pretreated with Pregnenolone-16α-carbonitrile, H2O2 formation increases significantly during N-demethylation of aminopyrine. However, H2O2 is consumed in microsomes from 3-Methylcholanthrene treated rats if aminopyrine and NADPH are present. Since the H2O2 formation and consumption are dependent on induction by different agents and on presence of substrates, its fate might be linked to the spin state of cytochrome P-450.  相似文献

Highly purified liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 catalyzes the hydroperoxide-dependent hydroxylation of a variety of substrates in the absence of NADPH, NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase, and molecular oxygen. The addition of phosphatidylcholine is necessary for maximal activity. The absence of flavoproteins and cytochrome b5 from the cytochrome P-450 preparations rules out the involvement of other known microsomal electron carriers. The ferrous form of cytochrome P-450 is not involved in peroxide-dependent hydroxylation reactions, as indicated by the lack of inhibition by carbon monoxide. With cumene hydroperoxide present, a variety of substrates is attacked, including N-methylaniline, N,N-dimethylaniline, cyclohexane, benzphetamine, and aminopyrine. With benzphetamine as the substrate, cumene hydroperoxide may be replaced by other peroxides, including hydrogen peroxide, or by peracids or sodium chlorite. A study of the stoichiometry indicated that equimolar amounts of N-methylaniline, formaldehyde, and cumyl alcohol (α,α-dimethylbenzyl alcohol) are formed in the reaction of N,N-dimethylaniline with cumene hydroperoxide. Since H218O is incorporated only slightly into cyclohexanol in the reaction of cyclohexane with cumene hydroperoxide, it appears that the oxygen atom in cyclohexanol is derived primarily from the peroxide. The data obtained are in accord with a peroxidase-like mechanism for the action of cytochrome P-450.  相似文献

Vanadate in the polymeric form of decavanadate, but not other forms, stimulated oxidation of NADH to NAD+ NADPH was also oxidized with comparable rates. This oxidation of NADH was accompanied by uptake of oxygen and generated hydrogen peroxide with the following stoichiometry: NADH + H+ + O2 → NAD+ + H2O2. The reaction followed second-order kinetics. The rate was dependent on the concentration of both NADH and vanadate and increased with decreasing pH. The reaction had an obligatory requirement for phosphate ions. Esr studies in the presence of the spin trap dimethyl pyrroline N oxide indicated the involvement of Superoxide anion as an intermediate. The reaction was sensitive to Superoxide dismutase and other scavengers of superoxide anions.  相似文献

Hydroxylation of aniline, catalyzed by rabbit liver microsomal cytochromes P-450 in reconstituted systems, was inhibited by catalase, superoxide dismutase, catechol, mannitol, hydroquinone, dimethylsulfoxide and benzoate, whereas the cytochrome P-450-catalyzed O-demethylation of paranitroanisole, measured under the same conditions, was unaffected by these agents. A similar inhibition profile of the hydroxylation reaction was observed in reconstituted systems where cytochrome P-450 had been replaced by hemoglobin. The results indicate that aniline hydroxylation is mediated by hydroxyl radicals generated in an iron-catalyzed Haber-Weiss reaction between O2? and H2O2 and may explain some of the special properties of this reaction previously described.  相似文献

Highly purified liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 acts as a peroxygenase in catalyzing the reaction, RH+ XOOH→ROH+XOH, Where RH represents any of a large variety of foreign or physiological substrates and ROH the corresponding product, and XOOH represents any of a series of peroxy compounds such as hydroperoxides or peracids serving as the oxygen donor and XOH the resulting alcohol or acid. Several experimental approaches in this and other laboratories have yielded results compatible with a homolytic mechanism of oxygen-oxygen bond cleavage but not with the heterolytic formation of a common iron-oxo intermediate from the various peroxides. Recently, we have found a new reaction, catalyzed by the reconstituted system containing the phenobarbital-inducible form of P-450, which catalyzes the reductive cleavage of hydroperoxides: XRR’C-OOH+ NADPH+H+→ XR’CO + R’H+H2O + NADP+ Thus, cumyl hydroperoxide yields acetophenone and methane, and 13-hydroperoxyoctadeca-9, 11-dienoic acid yields pentane and an as yet unidentified additional product. Since hydroperoxide reduction does not produce the corresponding alcohol, it is concluded that homolytic cleavage of the oxygen-oxygen bond occurs with rearrangement of the resulting alkoxy radical. Studies are in progress to determine how broad a role the new hydroperoxide cleavage reaction plays in the biological peroxidation of lipids.  相似文献

Anthranilamide was slightly hydroxylated by a reconstituted rat liver microsomal monooxygenase system with NADPH, but a large amount of hydrogen peroxide was formed with a consumption of NADPH during the reaction. Superoxide dismutase stimulated the hydroxylation by depressing the hydrogen peroxide formation, in that there was a reverse correlation between the two effects due to the dismutase. In addition, a trace of 3-hydroxyanthranilamide, one of the products, not only stimulated NADPH-dependent hydrogen peroxide formation via NADPH-cytochrome c (P-450) reductase, but also inhibited the reduction of cytochrome P-450 by NADPH in the reconstituted system. These effects of 3-hydroxyanthranilamide were also diminished by superoxide dismutase.  相似文献

Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species are implicated in the etiology of multiple neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson disease. Mitochondria are known to be net producers of ROS, but recently we have shown that brain mitochondria can consume mitochondrial hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in a respiration-dependent manner predominantly by the thioredoxin/peroxiredoxin system. Here, we sought to determine the mechanism linking mitochondrial respiration with H2O2 catabolism in brain mitochondria and dopaminergic cells. We hypothesized that nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase (Nnt), which utilizes the proton gradient to generate NADPH from NADH and NADP+, provides the link between mitochondrial respiration and H2O2 detoxification through the thioredoxin/peroxiredoxin system. Pharmacological inhibition of Nnt in isolated brain mitochondria significantly decreased their ability to consume H2O2 in the presence, but not absence, of respiration substrates. Nnt inhibition in liver mitochondria, which do not require substrates to detoxify H2O2, had no effect. Pharmacological inhibition or lentiviral knockdown of Nnt in N27 dopaminergic cells (a) decreased H2O2 catabolism, (b) decreased NADPH and increased NADP+ levels, and (c) decreased basal, spare, and maximal mitochondrial oxygen consumption rates. Nnt-deficient cells possessed higher levels of oxidized mitochondrial Prx, which rendered them more susceptible to steady-state increases in H2O2 and cell death following exposure to subtoxic levels of paraquat. These data implicate Nnt as the critical link between the metabolic and H2O2 antioxidant function in brain mitochondria and suggests Nnt as a potential therapeutic target to improve the redox balance in conditions of oxidative stress associated with neurodegenerative diseases.  相似文献

Adenylate cyclase activation by GTP analogs   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Benznidazole (a nitroimidazole derivative used for the treatment of Chagas' disease) is reduced by rat liver microsomes to the nitro anion radical, as indicated by ESR spectroscopy. Addition of benznidazole to rat liver microsomes produced an increase of electron flow from NADPH to molecular oxygen, and generation of both superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide. The benznidazole-stimulated O2 consumption and O2? formation was greatly inhibited by NADP+ and p-chloromercuribenzoate but not by SKF-525-A and metyrapone. The former inhibitions indicated the involvement of NADPH-cytochrome P-450 (c) reductase, while the lack of inhibition by SKF-525-A and metyrapone ruled out any major role for cytochrome P-450 in benznidazole reduction. In contrast to nifurtimox, a nitrofuran derivative (R. Docampo and A. O. M. Stoppani, 1979, Arch. Biochem. Biophys.197, 317–321), benznidazole was not reduced to the nitro anion radical, nor did it stimulate oxygen consumption, O2? production, and H2O2 generation by Trypanosoma cruzi cells or microsomal fractions. A different mechanism of benznidazole toxicity in T. cruzi and the mammalian host is postulated.  相似文献

The physiological function of the clostridial NADH- and NADPH-ferredoxin oxidoreductases was investigated with Clostridium pasteurianum and Clostridium butyricum.The NADH-ferredoxin oxidoreductases are concluded to be catabolic enzymes required for the reduction of ferredoxin by NADH. The conclusion is based on the finding that during the entire growth phase the fermentation of glucose can be formally represented by the weighted sum of Eqns 1 and 2, Glucose + 2 H2O → 1 butyrate? + 2 HCO3? + 3 H+ + 2 H2 (1) Glucose + 4 H2O → 2 acetate? + 2 HCO3? + 4 H+ + 4 H2 (2) and that in these redox processes NADH rather than NADPH is specifically formed during glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenation. This NADH can be consumed by substrate reduction in Process 1 only, while it must be reoxidized in Process 2 by the ferredoxin-dependent proton reduction to hydrogen which involves the NADH-ferredoxin oxidoreductases.The kinetic and regulatory properties of these enzymes are in line with their catabolic role: they are found with high specific activities typical for other catabolic enzymes; essentially they catalyze electron flow from NADH to ferredoxin only because the back reaction is very effectively inhibited by low concentrations of NADH. These enzymes have a key role in the coupling of the two partial processes and in regulating the overall thermodynamic efficiency of the fermentations.The NADPH-ferredoxin oxidoreductases are concluded to participate in anabolism; they are required for the regeneration of NADPH. The conclusion is based on the finding that in the two clostridia all catabolic oxidations-reductions are specific for NAD(H) and that the usual NADPH-producing processes such as the glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase or malate enzyme reactions are absent. The kinetic properties of the enzymes are in agreement with their anabolic function: the NADPH-ferredoxin oxidoreductases are found with sufficient specific activities; they preferentially catalyze electron transfer from reduced ferredoxin to NADP+.  相似文献

Modification of pyridine dinucleotide transhydrogenase with tetranitromethane resulted in inhibition of its activity. Development of a membrane potential in submitochondrial particles during the reduction of 3-acetylpyridine adenine dinucleotide (AcPyAD+) by NADPH decreased to nearly the same extent as the transhydrogenase rate on tetranitromethane treatment of the membrane. Kinetics of the inactivation of homogeneous transhydrogenase and the enzyme reconstituted into phosphatidylcholine liposomes indicate that a single essential residue was modified per active monomer. NADP+, NADPH and NADH gave substantial protection against tetranitromethane inactivation of both the nonenergy-linked and energy-linked transhydrogenase reactions of submitochondrial particles and the NADPH → AcPyAD+ reaction of reconstituted enzyme. NAD+ had no effect on inactivation. Tetranitromethane modification of reconstituted transhydrogenase resulted in a decrease in the rate of coupled H+ translocation that was comparable to the decrease in the rate of NADPH → AcPyAD+ transhydrogenation. It is concluded that tetranitromethane modification controls the H+ translocation process solely through its effect on catalytic activity, rather than through alteration of a separate H+-binding domain. Nitrotyrosine was not found in tetranitromethane-treated transhydrogenase. Both 5,5′-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoate)-accessible and buried sulfhydryl groups were modified with tetranitromethane. NADH and NADPH prevented sulfhydryl reactivity toward tetranitromethane. These data indicate that the inhibition seen with tetranitromethane results from the modification of a cysteine residue.  相似文献

It is postulated that the burst of oxygen consumption and H2O2 formation following phagocytosis by polymorphonuclear leukocytes is due to the action of an oxidase located in the plasma membrane. The cyanide-resistant oxygen consumption of resting polymorphonuclear leukocytes was also found to be stimulated by 2,4-dichlorophenol with H2O2 being the sole product formed. NADH and NADPH added to the leukocytes greatly enhanced the oxygen consumption and were oxidized in the process without penetrating the leukocytes. Mn2+ stimulated this oxidase activity. The apparent Km values for added NADH and NADPH were 50 and 40 μm, respectively, with a V of 300 nmol/mg protein/min. A stoichiometry of 1 mol H2O2 formed per mol of NAD(P)H was found. Whilst the oxidase is similar to the oxidase properties of a peroxidase, myeloperoxidase is not responsible for the activity.  相似文献

This laboratory has recently reported that, in a reconstituted enzyme system containing alcohol-induced isozyme 3a of liver microsomal cytochrome P-450, the sum of acetaldehyde generated by the monooxygenation of ethanol and of hydrogen peroxide produced by the NADPH oxidase activity is inadequate to account for the O2 and NADPH consumed. Studies on the stoichiometry have revealed the occurrence of an additional reaction involving an overall 4-electron transfer to molecular oxygen which is presumed to yield water: O2 + 2 NADPH + 2H+----2 H2O + 2 NADP+. The occurrence of a peroxidase reaction in which free H2O2 is reduced to water by NADPH was ruled out. When the 4-electron oxidase activity is taken into account, measurements of NADPH oxidation and O2 consumption are in accord with the amounts of products formed in the presence of various P-450 isozymes, either in the absence or presence of typical substrates, including those which undergo hydroxylation, N- or O-demethylation, or oxidation of hydroxymethyl to aldehyde groups. Of the substrates examined, some had no effect on the oxidase reaction yielding hydrogen peroxide or the 4-electron oxidase reaction, some were inhibitory, and some were stimulatory, but the same substrate did not necessarily have the same effect on the two reactions.  相似文献

The presence of the components of polysubstrate monooxygenase (PSMO) activity, viz., cytochrome P-450 and NADPH cytochrome P-450 reductase has been established for the first time in the microsomes of Aspergillus parasiticus. The microsomes were able to metabolize benzphetamine. NADPH cytochrome P-450 reductase, benzphetamine metabolism and aflatoxin production was increased by the presence of phenobarbitone (PB, 2mg/ml) in the medium. These results demonstrate that induction of PSMO activity could be a prerequisite for increased production of aflatoxins, since hydroxylation of intermediates is an obligatory step in aflatoxin biosynthesis.  相似文献

NADPH is the reducing agent for mitochondrial H2O2 detoxification systems. Nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase (NNT), an integral protein located in the inner mitochondrial membrane, contributes to an elevated mitochondrial NADPH/NADP+ ratio. This enzyme catalyzes the reduction of NADP+ at the expense of NADH oxidation and H+ reentry to the mitochondrial matrix. A spontaneous Nnt mutation in C57BL/6J (B6J-NntMUT) mice arose nearly 3 decades ago but was only discovered in 2005. Here, we characterize the consequences of the Nnt mutation on the mitochondrial redox functions of B6J-NntMUT mice. Liver mitochondria were isolated both from an Nnt wild-type C57BL/6 substrain (B6JUnib-NntW) and from B6J-NntMUT mice. The functional evaluation of respiring mitochondria revealed major redox alterations in B6J-NntMUT mice, including an absence of transhydrogenation between NAD and NADP, higher rates of H2O2 release, the spontaneous oxidation of NADPH, the poor ability to metabolize organic peroxide, and a higher susceptibility to undergo Ca2+-induced mitochondrial permeability transition. In addition, the mitochondria of B6J-NntMUT mice exhibited increased oxidized/reduced glutathione ratios as compared to B6JUnib-NntW mice. Nonetheless, the maximal activity of NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase, which is a coexisting source of mitochondrial NADPH, was similar between both groups. Altogether, our data suggest that NNT functions as a high-capacity source of mitochondrial NADPH and that its functional loss due to the Nnt mutation results in mitochondrial redox abnormalities, most notably a poor ability to sustain NADP and glutathione in their reduced states. In light of these alterations, the potential drawbacks of using B6J-NntMUT mice in biomedical research should not be overlooked.  相似文献

Highly-purified rat liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 converted cyclohexane to cyclohexanol in the presence of iodosobenzene. Oxygen from 18O-iodosobenzene was not incorporated into cyclohexanol but oxygen from H218O was readily incorporated. Cytochrome P-450 catalyzed the facile exchange of oxygen between iodosobenzene and water but neither cytochrome P-420 nor the apoenzyme did. Under these conditions cytochrome P-450 readily incorporated oxygen from 18O2 into cyclohexanol in the presence of NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase and NADPH. The results are interpreted in a mechanism in which cytochrome P-450 forms a common hydroxylating species in the presence of iodosobenzene or O2 plus NADPH.  相似文献

Addition of nifurtimox (a nitrofuran derivative used for the treatment of Chagas' disease) to rat liver microsomes produced an increase of (a) electron flow from NADPH to molecular oxygen, (b) generation of both superoxide anion radical (O2?) and hydrogen peroxide, and (c) lipid peroxidation. The nifurtimox-stimulated NADPH oxidation was greatly inhibited by NADP+ and p-chloromercuribenzoate, and to a lesser extent by SKF-525-A and metyrapone. These inhibitions reveal the function of both the NADPH-cytochrome P-450 (c) reductase and cytochrome P-450 in nifurtimox reduction. Superoxide dismutase, catalase (in the presence of superoxide dismutase), and hydroxyl radical scavengers (mannitol, 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-1-oxide) inhibited the nifurtimox-stimulated NADPH oxidation, in accordance with the additional operation of a reaction chain including the hydroxyl radical. Further evidence supporting the role of superoxide anion and hydroxyl radicals in the nifurtimox-induced NADPH oxidation resulted from the effect of specific inhibitors on NADPH oxidation by O2? (generated by the xanthine oxidase reaction) and by OH. (generated by an iron chelate or the Fenton reaction). Production of O2? by rat kidney, testes and brain microsomes was significantly stimulated by nifurtimox in the presence of NADPH. It is postulated that enhanced formation of free radicals is the basis for nifurtimox toxicity in mammals, in good agreement with the postulated mechanism of the trypanocide effect of nifurtimox on Trypanosoma cruzi.  相似文献

The system, which contains NADPH, purified cytochrome P-450 reductase, and adriamycin, produces H2O2 and O2? in appreciable amounts with oxygen consumption and NADPH oxidation under aerobic conditions. Such an adriamycin-induced NADPH oxidation system, however, does not cause the decomposition of unsaturated fatty acids in microsomal phospholipid micelles, suggesting no direct participation of the active oxygen species and semiquinone radicals of adriamycin in lipid peroxidation. Adriamycin produces a co-ordination complex with Fe3+ and ADP, which, but no Fe3+-ADP complex, could be reduced by NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase at the expence of NADPH. The decomposition of unsaturated fatty acids in phospholipid micelles is achieved by the Fe3+-ADP-adriamycin complex and strikingly enhanced by enzymatically reduced iron-ADP-adriamycin complex.  相似文献

Stopped flow spectrophotometry has shown the occurrence of two distinct spectral intermediates in the reaction of oxygen with the reduced form of highly purified cytochrome P-450 from liver microsomes. As indicated by difference spectra, Complex I (with maxima at 430 and 450 nm) is rapidly formed and then decays to form Complex II (with a broad maximum at 440 nm), which resembles the intermediate seen in steady state experiments. In the reaction sequence, P-450LMredO2Complex I→Complex II→P-450LMox the last step is rate-limiting. The rate of that step is inadequate to account for the known turnover number of the enzyme in benzphetamine hydroxylation unless NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase or cytochrome b5 is added. The latter protein does not appear to function as an electron carrier in this process.  相似文献

The characteristics of PHB production from carbon dioxide by autotrophic culture of Alcaligenes eutrophus ATCC 17697T using a recycled gas closed circuit culture system under the condition of oxygen limitation were investigated. Cell concentration increased to more than 60 g/l after 60 h of cultivation, while the PHB concentration reached 36 g/l. PHB accumulation in the oxygen-limited culture was superior than that in an ammonium-deficient culture. The PHB produced was identified as a homopolymer of d-3-hydroxybutyrate by 1H and 13C NMR analysis. The stoichiometry for PHB production from CO2 under the oxygen limitation condition was indicated to be as follows: 33H2 + 12O2 + 4CO2 → C4H6O2 + 30H2O. This stoichiometry shows that the hydrogen consumption per one mole of CO2 for PHB production is larger than that for cell formation.  相似文献

Superoxide dismutase, a scavenger of O?2. does not affect the rate of ethanol oxidation in a reconstituted system containing purified cytochrome P-450, NADPH-cytochrome c reductase, and dilauroyl l-3-phosphatidyl choline. The same concentration of Superoxide dismutase (50 μg/ml) completely abolishes the oxidation of epinephrine in this reconstituted system and ethanol oxidation by the xanthine-xanthine oxidase. Ethanol is not oxidized by the reconstituted system when NADPH is replaced by H2O2 but the addition of H2O2 to this sytem containing NADPH accelerates ethanol oxidation. This increase is abolished by the addition of Superoxide dismutase. Hydroxyl radical scavengers (50 mm dimethylsulfoxide, 100 mm benzoate, 100 mm mannitol, 20 mm thiourea) diminish the oxidation of ethanol in the reconstituted system by 48 to 76%. Thus hydroxyl radical may participate in the activity of reconstituted ethanol-oxidizing system, whereas Superoxide is not involved.  相似文献
