The H(2)O(2)-dependent reaction of lactoperoxidase (LPO) with sperm whale myoglobin (SwMb) or horse myoglobin (HoMb) produces LPO-Mb cross-linked species, in addition to LPO and SwMb homodimers. The HoMb products are a LPO(HoMb) dimer and LPO(HoMb)(2) trimer. Dityrosine cross-links are shown by their fluorescence to be present in the oligomeric products. Addition of H(2)O(2) to myoglobin (Mb), followed by catalase to quench excess H(2)O(2) before the addition of LPO, still yields LPO cross-linked products. LPO oligomerization therefore requires radical transfer from Mb to LPO. In contrast to native LPO, recombinant LPO undergoes little self-dimerization in the absence of Mb but occurs normally in its presence. Simultaneous addition of 3,5-dibromo-4-nitrosobenzenesulfonic acid (DBNBS) and LPO to activated Mb produces a spin-trapped radical electron paramagnetic resonance signal located primarily on LPO, confirming the radical transfer. Mutation of Tyr-103 or Tyr-151 in SwMb decreased cross-linking with LPO, but mutation of Tyr-146, Trp-7, or Trp-14 did not. However, because DBNBS-trapped LPO radicals were observed with all the mutants, DBNBS traps LPO radicals other than those involved in protein oligomerization. The results clearly establish that radical transfer occurs from Mb to LPO and suggest that intermolecularly transferred radicals may reside on residues other than those that are generated by intramolecular reactions. 相似文献

The reactions of hydrogen peroxide with human methemoglobin, sperm whale metmyoglobin, and horse heart metmyoglobin were studied by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy at 10 K and room temperature. The singlet EPR signal, one of the three signals seen in these systems at 10 K, is characterized by a poorly resolved, but still detectable, hyperfine structure that can be used to assign it to a tyrosyl radical. The singlet is detectable as a quintet at room temperature in methemoglobin with identical spectral features to those of the well characterized tyrosyl radical in photosystem II. Hyperfine splitting constants found for Tyr radicals were used to find the rotation angle of the phenoxyl group. Analysis of these angles in the crystal structures suggests that the radical resides on Tyr151 in sperm whale myoglobin, Tyr133 in soybean leghemoglobin, and either alphaTyr42, betaTyr35, or betaTyr130 in hemoglobin. In the sperm whale metmyoglobin Tyr103Phe mutant, there is no detectable tyrosyl radical present. Yet the rotation angle of Tyr103 (134 degrees) is too large to account for the observed EPR spectrum in the wild type. Tyr103 is the closest to the heme. We suggest that Tyr103 is the initial site of the radical, which then rapidly migrates to Tyr151. 相似文献

The myoglobin protein radical. Coupling of Tyr-103 to Tyr-151 in the H2O2-mediated cross-linking of sperm whale myoglobin 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Sperm whale metmyoglobin, which has tyrosine residues at positions 103, 146, and 151, dimerizes in the presence of H2O2. Equine metmyoglobin, which lacks Tyr-151, and red kangaroo metmyoglobin, which lacks Tyr-103 and Tyr-151, do not dimerize in the presence of H2O2. The dityrosine content of the sperm whale myoglobin dimer shows that it is primarily held together by dityrosine cross-links, although more tyrosine residues are lost than are accounted for by dityrosine formation. Digestion of the myoglobin dimer with chymotrypsin yields a peptide with the fluorescence spectrum of dityrosine. The amino acid composition, amino acid sequence, and mass spectrum of the peptide show that cross-linking involves covalent bond formation between Tyr-103 of one myoglobin chain and Tyr-151 of the other. Replacement of the prosthetic group of sperm whale myoglobin with zinc protoporphyrin IX prevents H2O2-induced dimerization even when intact horse metmyoglobin is present in the incubation. This suggests that the tyrosine radicals required for the dimerization reaction are generated by intra- rather than intermolecular electron transfer to the ferryl heme. Rapid electron transfer from Tyr-103 to the ferryl heme followed by slower electron transfer from Tyr-151 to Tyr-103 is most consistent with the present results. 相似文献

The reaction between metmyoglobin (metMb) and hydrogen peroxide has been known since the 1950s to produce globin-centered free radicals. The direct electron spin resonance spectrum of a solution of horse metMb and hydrogen peroxide at room temperature consists of a multilined signal that decays in minutes at room temperature. Comparison of the direct ESR spectra obtained from the system under N(2)- and O(2)-saturated conditions demonstrates the presence of a peroxyl radical, identified by its g-value of 2.014. Computer simulations of the spectra recorded 3 s after the mixture of metMb and H(2)O(2) were calculated using hyperfine coupling constants of a(H2,6) = 1.3 G and a(H3,5) = 7.0 G for the ring and a(beta)(H1) = 16.7 G and a(beta)(H2) = 14.2 G for the methylene protons, and are consistent with a highly constrained, conformationally unstable tyrosyl radical. Spectra obtained at later time points contained a mixture of the 3 s signal and another signal that was insufficiently resolved for simulation. Efficient spin trapping with 3, 5-dibromo-4-nitrosobenzenesulfonic acid was observed only when the spin trap was present at the time of H(2)O(2) addition. Spin trapping experiments with either 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO) or perdeuterated 2-methyl-2-nitrosopropane (MNP-d(9)), which have been shown to trap tyrosyl radicals, were nearly equally effective when the spin trap was added before or 10 min after the addition of H(2)O(2). The superhyperfine structure of the ESR spectra obtained from Pronase-treated MNP-d(9)/*metMb confirmed the assignment to a tyrosyl radical. Delayed spin trapping experiments with site-directed mutant myoglobins in which either Tyr-103 or Tyr-146 was replaced by phenylalanine indicated that radical adduct formation with either DMPO or MNP-d(9) requires the presence of Tyr-103 at all time points, implicating that residue as the radical site. 相似文献

SummaryPhoto-oxidation of bovine serum albumin (BSA) by porphyrins produces protein-centred radicals that can be spin trapped by 3, 5-dibromo-4-nitrosobenzenesulphonic acid (DBNBS) and 5, 5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO). In the case of DMPO, a thiyl radical from the Cys-34 residue is trapped, whereas with DBNBS signals from both this thiyl and tertiary carbon-centred species are observed. However, specific chemical modification of the Cys-34 residue, in combination with dual-isotope spin-trapping techniques, shows that the signal assigned to the Cys-34 thiyl adduct with DBNBS is a nitroxide artefact resulting from sequential (non-radical) nucleophilic addition and oxidation. In contrast, both the Cys-34 thiyl DMPO adduct and the tertiary carbon-centred DBNBS adducts result from genuine spintrapping. This study shows that such artefacts can be detected—even with anisotropic EPR spectra—through the use of appropriately substituted spin-traps, and that nitroso spin-traps need to be employed with great care in systems containing free thiol groups. 相似文献

The oxidation of proteins and other macromolecules by radical species under conditions of oxidative stress can be modulated
by antioxidant compounds. Decreased levels of the antioxidants glutathione and ascorbate have been documented in oxidative
stress-related diseases. A radical generated on the surface of a protein can: (1) be immediately and fully repaired by direct
reaction with an antioxidant; (2) react with dioxygen to form the corresponding peroxyl radical; or (3) undergo intramolecular
long range electron transfer to relocate the free electron to another amino acid residue. In pulse radiolysis studies, in
vitro production of the initial radical on a protein is conveniently made at a tryptophan residue, and electron transfer often
leads ultimately to residence of the unpaired electron on a tyrosine residue. We review here the kinetics data for reactions
of the antioxidants glutathione, selenocysteine, and ascorbate with tryptophanyl and tyrosyl radicals as free amino acids
in model compounds and proteins. Glutathione repairs a tryptophanyl radical in lysozyme with a rate constant of (1.05 ± 0.05) × 105 M–1 s–1, while ascorbate repairs tryptophanyl and tyrosyl radicals ca. 3 orders of magnitude faster. The in vitro reaction of glutathione
with these radicals is too slow to prevent formation of peroxyl radicals, which become reduced by glutathione to hydroperoxides;
the resulting glutathione thiyl radical is capable of further radical generation by hydrogen abstraction. Although physiologically
not significant, selenoglutathione reduces tyrosyl radicals as fast as ascorbate. The reaction of protein radicals formed
on insulin, β-lactoglobulin, pepsin, chymotrypsin and bovine serum albumin with ascorbate is relatively rapid, competes with
the reaction with dioxygen, and the relatively innocuous ascorbyl radical is formed. On the basis of these kinetics data,
we suggest that reductive repair of protein radicals may contribute to the well-documented depletion of ascorbate in living
organisms subjected to oxidative stress. 相似文献

The oxidation of the heme iron of metmyoglobin by H2O2 yields an oxo ferryl complex (FeIV = O), similar to Compound II of peroxidases, as well as a protein radical; this high oxidation state of myoglobin is known as ferrylmyoglobin. The interaction of Trolox, a water-soluble vitamin E analog, with ferrylmyoglobin entailed two sequential one-electron oxidations of the phenolic antioxidant with intermediate formation of a phenoxyl radical and accumulation of a quinone end product. These oxidation reactions were linked to individual reductions of ferrylmyoglobin to metmyoglobin, as indicated by the value of the relationship [metmyoglobin]formed/[Trolox]consumed: 1.92 +/- 0.28. The Trolox-mediated reduction of ferrylmyoglobin to metmyoglobin could proceed directly, i.e., electron transfer from the phenolic-OH group in Trolox to the oxoferryl moiety, or indirectly, i.e., sequential electron transfer from Trolox to a protein radical to the oxoferryl moiety. The former mechanism is supported by the finding that the high oxidation heme iron is reduced under conditions where the tyrosyl residues are blocked by o-acetylation and when hemin is substituted for myoglobin. The latter mechanism is consistent with the following observations: (a) the EPR signal ascribed to the protein radical is suppressed by Trolox, with the concomitant appearance of the EPR spectrum of the Trolox phenoxyl radical and (b) the rate of ferrylmyoglobin reduction by Trolox is decreased with increasing number of tyrosyl residues in the proteins of horse myoglobin (titrated by o-acetylation) and sperm whale myoglobin. The apparent discrepancy between these observations can be reconciled by considering that both electrophilic centers in ferrylmyoglobin--the oxoferryl heme moiety and the protein radical--function independently of each other and that recovery of ferrylmyoglobin by Trolox could be effected through the tyrosyl residues, albeit at slower rates. The mechanistic aspects of these results are discussed in terms of the two main redox transitions in the myoglobin molecule encompassing valence changes of the heme iron and electron transfer of the tyrosyl residue in the protein and linked to the two sequential one-electron oxidations of Trolox. 相似文献

The reaction between hydroperoxides and the haem group of proteins and enzymes is important for the function of many enzymes but has also been implicated in a number of pathological conditions where oxygen binding proteins interact with hydrogen peroxide or other peroxides. The haem group in the oxidized Fe3+ (ferric) state reacts with hydroperoxides with a formation of the Fe4+=O (oxoferryl) haem state and a free radical primarily located on the pi-system of the haem. The radical is then transferred to an amino acid residue of the protein and undergoes further transfer and transformation processes. The free radicals formed in this reaction are reviewed for a number of proteins and enzymes. Their previously published EPR spectra are analysed in a comparative way. The radicals directly detected in most systems are tyrosyl radicals and the peroxyl radicals formed on tryptophan and possibly cysteine. The locations of the radicals in the proteins have been reported as follows: Tyr133 in soybean leghaemoglobin; alphaTyr42, alphaTrp14, betaTrp15, betaCys93, (alphaTyr24-alphaHis20), all in the alpha- and beta-subunits of human haemoglobin; Tyr103, Tyr151 and Trp14 in sperm whale myoglobin; Tyr103, Tyr146 and Trp14 in horse myoglobin; Trp14, Tyr103 and Cys110 in human Mb. The sequence of events leading to radical formation, transformation and transfer, both intra- and intermolecularly, is considered. The free radicals induced by peroxides in the enzymes are reviewed. Those include: lignin peroxidase, cytochrome c peroxidase, cytochrome c oxidase, turnip isoperoxidase 7, bovine catalase, two isoforms of prostaglandin H synthase, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Synechocystis PCC6803 catalase-peroxidases. 相似文献

The human myoglobin (Mb) sequence is similar to other mammalian Mb sequences, except for a unique cysteine at position 110. Reaction of wild-type recombinant human Mb, the C110A variant of human Mb, or horse heart Mb with H(2)O(2) (protein/H(2)O(2) = 1:1.2 mol/mol) resulted in formation of tryptophan peroxyl (Trp-OO( small middle dot)) and tyrosine phenoxyl radicals as detected by EPR spectroscopy at 77 K. For wild-type human Mb, a second radical (g approximately 2. 036) was detected after decay of Trp-OO( small middle dot) that was not observed for the C110A variant or horse heart Mb. When the spin trap 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO) was included in the reaction mixture at protein/DMPO ratios =1:10 mol/mol, a DMPO adduct exhibiting broad absorptions was detected. Hyperfine couplings of this radical indicated a DMPO-thiyl radical. Incubation of wild-type human Mb with thiol-blocking reagents prior to reaction with peroxide inhibited DMPO adduct formation, whereas at protein/DMPO ratios >/=1:25 mol/mol, DMPO-tyrosyl radical adducts were detected. Mass spectrometry of wild-type human Mb following reaction with H(2)O(2) demonstrated the formation of a homodimer (mass of 34,107 +/- 5 atomic mass units) sensitive to reducing conditions. The human Mb C110A variant afforded no dimer under identical conditions. Together, these data indicate that reaction of wild-type human Mb and H(2)O(2) differs from the corresponding reaction of other myoglobin species by formation of thiyl radicals that lead to a homodimer through intermolecular disulfide bond formation. 相似文献

The reaction of hydrogen peroxide H(2)O(2) with horse heart metmyoglobin (HH metMb), sperm whale metmyoglobin (SW metMb) and human metHb (metHbA) was studied at pH 6-8 by low temperature (10 K) EPR spectroscopy with the emphasis on the peroxyl radicals formed during the reaction. The same type of peroxyl radical was found in both myoglobin systems, as was concluded from close similarities in the spectroscopic properties of the radicals and in their kinetic dependences. This is consistent with previous reports of the peroxyl radical being localised on the Trp14 of SW and HH myoglobins. There are two types of peroxyl radical found in the metHbA/H(2)O(2) system, one (ROO-I) having spectral parameters, kinetic and pH dependences similar to those of the peroxyl radical found in both myoglobin systems. The other peroxyl radical (ROO-II) found in metHbA treated with H(2)O(2) has slightly different, though distinguishable, spectral parameters and a significantly different kinetic dependence as compared to those of the peroxyl radical common for all three proteins studied (ROO-I). The concentration of ROO-I radical formed in the three proteins on addition of H(2)O(2) correlates with the effectiveness of incorporating molecular oxygen into styrene oxide reported before for these three proteins. It is shown that a different distance from Trp14 to haem iron in the three proteins might be the structural basis for the different yield of the peroxyl radical and the different efficiency of incorporation of molecular oxygen into styrene. The site of the peroxyl radical found only in metHbA (ROO-II) is speculated to be the Trp37 residue of the beta-subunit of HbA. 相似文献

A sperm whale myoglobin gene containing multiple unique restriction sites has been constructed in pUC 18 by sequential assembly of chemically synthesized oligonucleotide fragments. Expression of the gene in Escherichia coli DH5 alpha cells yields protein that is identical to native sperm whale myoglobin except that it retains the terminal methionine. Site-specific mutagenesis has been used to prepare all the possible tyrosine----phenylalanine mutants of the recombinant myoglobin, including the three single mutants at Tyr-103, -146, and -151, the three double mutants, and the triple mutant. All of the mutant proteins are stable except the Tyr-103 mutant. Introduction of a second mutation (Lys-102----Gln) stabilizes the Tyr-103 mutant. Absorption spectroscopy suggests that the active sites of the mutant proteins are intact. EPR and absorption spectroscopy show that all the proteins, including the triple mutant devoid of tyrosine residues, react with H2O2 to give a ferryl species and a protein radical. The presence of a protein radical in all the mutants suggests that the radical center is readily transferred from one amino acid to another. Cross-linking studies show, however, that protein dimers are only formed when Tyr-151 is present. Tyr-103, shown earlier to be the residue that primarily cross-links to Tyr-151 (Tew, D., and Ortiz de Montellano, P. R. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 17880-17886), is not essential for cross-linking. Electron transfer from Tyr-151 to the heme, which are 12 A apart, occurs in the absence of the intervening tyrosines at positions 103 and 146. The present studies show that the peroxide-generated myoglobin radical readily exchanges between remote loci, including non-tyrosine residues, but protein cross-linking only occurs when radical density is located on Tyr-151. 相似文献

Previous studies have reported that myosin can be modified by oxidative stress and particularly by activated haem proteins. These reactions have been implicated in changes in the properties of this protein in food samples (changes in meat tenderness and palatability), in human physiology (alteration of myocyte function and force generation) and in disease (e.g. cardiomyopathy, chronic heart failure). The oxidant species, mechanisms of reaction and consequences of these reactions are incompletely characterized. In the present study, the nature of the transient species generated on myosin as a result of the reaction with activated haem proteins (horseradish peroxidase/H2O2) and met-myoglobin/H2O2) has been investigated by EPR spectroscopy and amino-acid consumption, product formation has been characterized by HPLC, and changes in protein integrity have been determined by SDS/PAGE. Multiple radical species have been detected by EPR in both the presence and the absence of spin traps. Evidence has been obtained for the presence of thiyl, tyrosyl and other unidentified radical species on myosin as a result of damage-transfer from oxidized myoglobin or horseradish peroxidase. The generation of thiyl and tyrosyl radicals is consistent with the observed consumption of cysteine and tyrosine residues, the detection of di-tyrosine by HPLC and the detection of both reducible (disulfide bond) and non-reducible cross-links between myosin molecules by SDS/PAGE. The time course of radical formation on myosin, product generation and cross-link induction are consistent with these processes being interlinked. These changes are consistent with the altered function and properties of myosin in muscle tissue exposed to oxidative stress arising from disease or from food processing. 相似文献

Protein-bound tyrosyl radicals catalyze many important enzymatic reactions. They can also initiate oxidative damage to cells. Here we report a new method of computer simulation of tyrosyl radical electron paramagnetic resonance spectra. The method enables the determination of the rotational conformation of the phenoxyl ring in a radical with unprecedented accuracy (approximately 2 degrees ). When coupled with a new online database, all tyrosine residues in a protein can be screened for that particular conformation. For the first time we show relationships between the spin density on atom C1 (rho(C1)) and the principal g-factors measured by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (rho(C1) on g(x) is shown to be linear). The new method enables the accurate determination of rho(C1) in all known tyrosyl radicals, evaluates the likelihood of a hydrogen bond, and determines the possibility of a rho(C1) distribution in the radicals. This information, together with the accurately determined rotational conformation, is frequently sufficient to allow for an unambiguous identification of the site of radical formation. The possibility of a similar relationship between rho(C) and g(x) in other radicals, e.g., tryptophanyl, is discussed. 相似文献

The reactions of cerium(IV) and the hydroxyl radical [generated from iron(ii)/H2O2] with bovine serum albumin (BSA) have been investigated by EPR spin trapping. With the former reagent a protein-derived thiyl radical is selectively generated; this has been characterized via the anisotropic EPR spectra observed on reaction of this radical with the spin trap DMPO. Blocking of the thiol group results in the loss of this species and the detection of a peroxyl radical, believed to be formed by reaction of oxygen with initially-generated, but undetected, carbon-centred radicals from aromatic amino acids. Experiments with a second spin trap (DBNBS) confirm the formation of these carbon-centred species and suggest that damage can be transferred from the thiol group to carbon sites in the protein. A similar transfer pathway can be observed when hydroxyl radicals react with BSA.
Further experiments demonstrate that the reverse process can also occur: when hydroxyl radicals react with BSA, the thiol group appears to act as a radical sink and protects the protein from denaturation and fragmentation through the transfer of damage from a carbon site to the thiol group. Thiol-blocked BSA is shown to be more susceptible to damage than the native protein in both direct EPR experiments and enzyme digestion studies. Oxygen has a similar effect, with more rapid fragmentation detected in its presence than its absence. 相似文献

It is shown that nitrogen dioxide oxidizes thiamine to thiamine disulfide, thiochrome, and oxodihydrothiochrome (ODTch). The
latter is formed during oxidation of thiochrome by nitrogen dioxide. Nitrogen dioxide was produced by incubation of nitrite
with horse ferric myoglobin and human hemoglobin in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. After addition of tyrosine or phenol
to aqueous solutions containing oxoferryl forms of the hemoproteins, thiamine, and nitrite, the yield of thiochrome greatly
increased, whereas the yield of ODTch decreased. In the presence of high concentrations of tyrosine or phenol compounds ODTch
was not formed at all. The neutral form of thiamine with the closed thiazole cycle and minor tricyclic form of thiamine do
not enter the heme pocket of the protein and do not interact with the oxoferryl heme complex Fe(IV=O) or porphyrin radical.
The tricyclic form of thiamine is oxidized to thiochrome by tyrosyl radicals located on the surface of the hemoprotein. The
thiol form of thiamine is oxidized to thiamine disulfide by both hemoprotein tyrosyl radicals and oxoferryl heme complexes.
Nitrite and also tyrosine, tyramine, and phenol readily penetrate into the heme pocket of the protein and reduce the oxyferryl
complex to ferric cation. These reactions yield nitrogen dioxide as well as tyrosyl and phenoxyl radicals of tyrosine molecules
and phenol compounds, respectively. Tyrosyl and phenoxyl radicals of low molecular weight compounds oxidize thiamine only
to thiochrome and thiamine disulfide. The effect of oxoferryl forms of myoglobin and hemoglobin, nitrogen dioxide, and phenol
on thiamine oxidative transformation as well as antioxidant properties of the hydrophobic thiamine metabolites thiochrome
and ODTch are discussed. 相似文献

5,5-Dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO) spin trapping in conjunction with antibodies specific for the DMPO nitrone epitope was used on hydrogen peroxide-treated sperm whale and horse heart myoglobins to determine the site of protein nitrone adduct formation. The present study demonstrates that the sperm whale myoglobin tyrosyl radical, formed by hydrogen peroxide-dependent self-peroxidation, can either react with another tyrosyl radical, resulting in a dityrosine cross-linkage, or react with the spin trap DMPO to form a diamagnetic nitrone adduct. The reaction of sperm whale myoglobin with equimolar hydrogen peroxide resulted in the formation of a myoglobin dimer detectable by electrophoresis/protein staining. Addition of DMPO resulted in the trapping of the globin radical, which was detected by Western blot. The location of this adduct was demonstrated to be at tyrosine-103 by MS/MS and site-specific mutagenicity. Interestingly, formation of the myoglobin dimer, which is known to be formed primarily by cross-linkage of tyrosine-151, was inhibited by the addition of DMPO. 相似文献

The ferrous iron/oxygen reconstitution reaction in protein R2 of mouse and Escherichia coli ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) leads to the formation of a stable protein-linked tyrosyl radical and a mu-oxo-bridged diferric iron center, both necessary for enzyme activity. We have studied the reconstitution reaction in three protein R2 mutants Y177W, Y177F, and Y177C of mouse RNR to investigate if other residues at the site of the radical forming Tyr-177 can harbor free radicals. In Y177W we observed for the first time the formation of a tryptophan radical in protein R2 of mouse RNR with a lifetime of several minutes at room temperature. We assign it to an oxidized neutral tryptophan radical on Trp-177, based on selective deuteration and EPR and electron nuclear double resonance spectroscopy in H2O and D2O solution. The reconstitution reaction at 22 degrees C in both Y177F and Y177C leads to the formation of a so-called intermediate X which has previously been assigned to an oxo (hydroxo)-bridged Fe(III)/Fe(IV) cluster. Surprisingly, in both mutants that do not have successor radicals as Trp. in Y177W, this cluster exists on a much longer time scale (several seconds) at room temperature than has been reported for X in E. coli Y122F or native mouse protein R2. All three mouse R2 mutants were enzymatically inactive, indicating that only a tyrosyl radical at position 177 has the capability to take part in the reduction of substrates. 相似文献

The mechanism of the reactions of myoglobin and hemoglobin with *OH and CO3*- in the presence of oxygen was studied using pulse and gamma-radiolysis. Unlike *NO2, which adds to the porphyrin iron, *OH and CO3*- form globin radicals. These secondary radicals oxidize the Fe(II) center through both intra- and intermolecular processes. The intermolecular pathway was further demonstrated when BSA radicals derived from *OH or CO3*- oxidized oxyhemoglobin and oxymyoglobin to their respective ferric states. The oxidation yields obtained by pulse radiolysis were lower compared to gamma-radiolysis, where the contribution of radical-radical reactions is negligible. Full oxidation yields by *OH-derived globin radicals could be achieved only at relatively high concentrations of the heme protein mainly via an intermolecular pathway. It is suggested that CO3*- reaction with the protein yields Tyr and/or Trp-derived phenoxyl radicals, which solely oxidize the porphyrin iron under gamma-radiolysis conditions. The *OH particularly adds to aromatic residues, which can undergo elimination of H2O forming the phenoxyl radical, and/or react rapidly with O2 yielding peroxyl radicals. The peroxyl radical can oxidize a neighboring porphyrin iron and/or give rise to superoxide, which neither oxidize nor reduce the porphyrin iron. The potential physiological implications of this chemistry are that hemoglobin and myoglobin, being present at relatively high concentrations, can detoxify highly oxidizing radicals yielding the respective ferric states, which are not toxic. 相似文献

The reactions of the cysteine, glutathione and penicillamine thiyl radicals with oxygen and their parent thiols in frozen aqueous solutions have been elucidated through electron spin resonance spectroscopy. The major sulfur radicals observed are: (1) thiyl radicals, RS.; (2) disulfide radical anions. RSSR-.; (3) perthiyl radicals, RSS. and upon introduction of oxygen; (4) sulfinyl radicals, RSO., where R represents the remainder of the cysteine, glutathione or penicillamine moiety. The radical product observed depends on the pH, concentration of thiol, and presence or absence of molecular oxygen. We find that the sulfinyl radical is a ubiquitous intermediate in the free radical chemistry of these important biological compounds, and also show that peroxyl radical attack on thiols may lead to sulfinyl radicals. We elaborate the observed reaction sequences that lead to sulfinyl radicals, and, using 17O isotopic substitution studies, demonstrate that the oxygen atom in sulfinyl radicals originates from dissolved molecular oxygen. In addition, the glutathione thiyl radical is found to abstract hydrogen from the alpha-carbon position on the cysteine residue of glutathione to form a carbon-centered radical. 相似文献
