S-Nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) is a member of the alcohol dehydrogenase family (ADH) that regulates the levels of S-nitrosothiols (SNOs) through catabolism of S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO). GSNO and SNOs are implicated in the pathogenesis of many diseases including those in respiratory, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal systems. The pyrrole based N6022 was recently identified as a potent, selective, reversible, and efficacious GSNOR inhibitor which is currently undergoing clinical development. We describe here the synthesis and structure-activity relationships (SAR) of novel pyrrole based analogues of N6022 focusing on scaffold modification and propionic acid replacement. We identified equally potent and novel GSNOR inhibitors having pyrrole regioisomers as scaffolds using a structure based approach.  相似文献

The nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and reduced glutathione (GSH) molecules play important roles in the redox homeostasis of plant cells. Using tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants grown with 120 mM NaCl, we studied the redox state of NADPH and GSH as well as ascorbate, nitric oxide (NO) and S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) content and the activity of the principal enzymes involved in the metabolism of these molecules in roots. Salinity caused a significant reduction in growth parameters and an increase in oxidative parameters such as lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation. Salinity also led to an overall decrease in the content of these redox molecules and in the enzymatic activities of the main NADPH-generating dehydrogenases, S-nitrosoglutathione reductase and catalase. However, NO content as well as gluthahione reductase and glutathione peroxidase activity increased under salinity stress. These findings indicate that salinity drastically affects redox and NO homeostasis in tomato roots. In our view, these molecules, which show the interaction between ROS and RNS metabolisms, could be excellent parameters for evaluating the physiological conditions of plants under adverse stress conditions.  相似文献

S-Nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) is a nitrosothiol which plays a major role in the metabolism of NO in higher plants mediating signaling processes. Protein tyrosine nitration (NO2–Tyr) is a post-translational modification which contributes to protein regulation. The subcellular localization of GSNO, S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR), an enzyme which catalyzes its decomposition and protein tyrosine nitration was studied in pea (Pisum sativum L.) leaf plants with the aid of the electron microscopy immunogold-labeling technique. Our findings show that GSNO, GSNOR and nitrated proteins are present in the different subcellular compartments of leaf cells which include chloroplasts, cytosol, mitochondria, and peroxisomes. Given that pea peroxisomes are one of the cell compartments where nitric oxide (NO) has been thoroughly studied, our results provide additional insights into the metabolism of NO in this organelle where NO and GSNO could function as signal molecules in cross talk between the different cell compartments.  相似文献

S-Nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) is a nitric oxide (NO) donor compound which has been postulated to be involved in transport of NO in vivo. It is known that γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) is one of the enzymes involved in the enzyme-mediated decomposition of GSNO, but no kinetics studies of the reaction GSNO-GGT are reported in literature.In this study we directly investigated the kinetics of GGT with respect to GSNO as a substrate and glycyl-glycine (GG) as acceptor co-substrate by spectrophotometry at 334 nm. GGT hydrolyses the γ-glutamyl moiety of GSNO to give S-nitroso-cysteinylglycine (CGNO) and γ-glutamyl-GG. However, as both the substrate GSNO and the first product CGNO absorb at 334 nm, we optimized an ancillary reaction coupled to the enzymatic reaction, based on the copper-mediated decomposition of CGNO yielding oxidized cysteinyl-glycine and NO. The ancillary reaction allowed us to study directly the GSNO/GGT kinetics by following the decrease of the characteristic absorbance of nitrosothiols at 334 nm. A Km of GGT for GSNO of 0.398 ± 31 mM was thus found, comparable with Km values reported for other γ-glutamyl substrates of GGT.  相似文献

During the last decade, it was established that the class III alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH3) enzyme, also known as glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase (FALDH; EC 1.2.1.1), catalyzes the NADH-dependent reduction of S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) and therefore was also designated as GSNO reductase. This finding has opened new aspects in the metabolism of nitric oxide (NO) and NO-derived molecules where GSNO is a key component. In this article, current knowledge of the involvement and potential function of this enzyme during plant development and under biotic/abiotic stress is briefly reviewed.Key words: nitric oxide, nitrosative stress, S-nitrosoglutathione reductase  相似文献

S-nitrosylation of protein cysteine thiol groups has recently emerged as a widespread and important reversible post-translational protein modification, involved in redox signalling pathways of nitric oxide and reactive nitrogen species. S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR), member of class III alcohol dehydrogenase family (EC 1.1.1.1), is considered the key enzyme in the catabolism of major low molecular S-nitrosothiol, S-nitrosoglutathione, and hence to control the level of protein S-nitrosylation. Changes of GSNOR activity after exposure to different abiotic stress conditions, including low and high temperature, continuous dark and de-etiolation, and mechanical injury, were investigated in important agricultural plants. Significantly higher GSNOR activity was found under normal conditions in leaves of Cucumis spp. genotype sensitive to biotrophic pathogen Golovinomyces cichoracearum. GSNOR activity was generally increased in all studied plants by all types of stress conditions. Strong down-regulation of GSNOR was observed in hypocotyls of etiolated pea plants, which did not recover to values of green plants even 168 h after the transfer of etiolated plants to normal light regime. These results point to important role of GSNOR during normal plant development and in plant responses to several types of abiotic stress conditions.  相似文献

NO is known to modulate calcium handling and cellular signaling in the myocardium, but key targets for NO in the heart remain unidentified. Recent reports have implied that NO can activate calcium/calmodulin (Ca2+/CaM)-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) in neurons and the heart. Here we use our novel sensor of CaMKII activation, Camui, to monitor changes in the conformation and activation of cardiac CaMKII (CaMKIIδ) activity after treatment with the NO donor S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO). We demonstrate that exposure to NO after Ca2+/CaM binding to CaMKIIδ results in autonomous kinase activation, which is abolished by mutation of the Cys-290 site. However, exposure of CaMKIIδ to GSNO prior to Ca2+/CaM exposure strongly suppresses kinase activation and conformational change by Ca2+/CaM. This NO-induced inhibition was ablated by mutation of the Cys-273 site. We found parallel effects of GSNO on CaM/CaMKIIδ binding and CaMKIIδ-dependent ryanodine receptor activation in adult cardiac myocytes. We conclude that NO can play a dual role in regulating cardiac CaMKIIδ activity.  相似文献

Two isomers (R,S,R,S- and R,R,S,S-) of five coordinate complex [Cu(L)Cl]+ have been separated and characterised. These two isomers have significantly different spectrochemical and electrochemical properties. Absorption maximum of R,S,R,S-[Cu(L)Cl]+ shifts to longer wavelength and its reduction potential shifts to more positive direction comparing those of R,R,S,S-[Cu(L)Cl]+. R,S,R,S-[Cu(L)Cl]+ is significantly distorted to trigonal-bipyramidal structure, whereas R,R,S,S-[Cu(L)Cl]+ retains almost square-planar geometry. The average bond distance of Cu-N in basal plane of R,S,R,S-[Cu(L)Cl]+ is longer by 0.024 Å than that of R,R,S,S-[Cu(L)Cl]+, whereas the bond distance of Cu-Cl in former is shorter by 0.200 Å than that in latter. The isolated square-planar complexes of R,R,S,S- and R,S,R,S-[Cu(L)](ClO4)2 are converted to the R,R,S,S- and R,S,R,S-[Cu(L)Cl]+ by the addition of Cl in nitromethane solution with the rate constants, k=1.70 (±0.02) and 8.31 (±0.07) M−1 s−1, respectively.  相似文献

Salinity impairs plant growth and development, thereby leading to low yield and inferior quality of crops. Nitric oxide (NO) has emerged as an essential signaling molecule that is involved in regulating various physiological and biochemical processes in plants. In this study, tomato seedlings of Lycopersicum esculentum L. “Micro-Tom” treated with 150 mM sodium chloride (NaCl) conducted decreased plant height, total root length, and leaf area by 25.43%, 24.87%, and 33.67%, respectively. While nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) pretreatment ameliorated salt toxicity in a dose-dependent manner and 10 µM GSNO exhibited the most significant mitigation effect. It increased the plant height, total root length, and leaf area of tomato seedlings, which was 31.44%, 20.56%, and 51.21% higher than NaCl treatment alone, respectively. However, NO scavenger 2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4, 4, 5, 5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide potassium (cPTIO) treatment reversed the positive effect of NO under salt stress, implying that NO is essential for the enhancement of salt tolerance. Additionally, NaCl?+?GSNO treatment effectively decreased O2? production and H2O2 content, increased the levels of soluble sugar, glycinebetaine, proline, and chlorophyll, and enhanced the activities of antioxidant enzymes and the content of antioxidants in tomato seedlings in comparison with NaCl treatment, whereas NaCl?+?cPTIO treatment significantly reversed the effect of NO under salt stress. Moreover, we found that GSNO treatment increased endogenous NO content, S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) activity, GSNOR expression and total S-nitrosylated level, and decreased S-nitrosothiol (SNO) content under salt stress, implicating that S-nitrosylation might be involved in NO-enhanced salt tolerance in tomatoes. Altogether, these results suggest that NO confers salt tolerance in tomato seedlings probably by the promotion of photosynthesis and osmotic balance, the enhancement of antioxidant capability and the increase of protein S-nitrosylation levels.

Flavohemoglobins (flavoHbs), commonly found in bacteria and fungi, afford protection from nitrosative stress by degrading nitric oxide (NO) to nitrate. Giardia intestinalis, a microaerophilic parasite causing one of the most common intestinal human infectious diseases worldwide, is the only pathogenic protozoon as yet identified coding for a flavoHb. By NO amperometry we show that, in the presence of NADH, the recombinant Giardia flavoHb metabolizes NO with high efficacy under aerobic conditions (TN = 116 ± 10 s−1 at 1 μM NO, T = 37 °C). The activity is [O2]-dependent and characterized by an apparent KM,O2 = 22 ± 7 μM. Immunoblotting analysis shows that the protein is expressed at low levels in the vegetative trophozoites of Giardia; accordingly, these cells aerobically metabolize NO with low efficacy. Interestingly, in response to nitrosative stress (24-h incubation with ?5 mM nitrite) flavoHb expression is enhanced and the trophozoites thereby become able to metabolize NO efficiently, the activity being sensitive to both cyanide and carbon monoxide. The NO-donors S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) and DETA-NONOate mimicked the effect of nitrite on flavoHb expression. We propose that physiologically flavoHb contributes to NO detoxification in G. intestinalis.  相似文献

Regulation of aldose reductase (AR), a member of the aldo–keto reductase superfamily, by nitric oxide (NO) donors was examined. Incubation of human recombinant AR with S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) led to inactivation of the enzyme and the formation of an AR-glutathione adduct. In contrast, incubation with S-nitroso-N-acetyl penicillamine (SNAP) or N-(β-d-glucopyranosyl)-SNAP (GlycoSNAP) led to an increase in enzyme activity which was accompanied by the direct nitrosation of the enzyme and the formation of a mixed disulfide with the NO-donor. To examine in vivo modification, red blood cells (RBC) and rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) were incubated with 1 mM GSNO or SNAP. Exposure of VSMC to SNAP and GSNO for 2 h at 37°C led to ∼71% decrease in the enzyme activity with dl-glyceraldehyde as the substrate. Similarly, exposure of RBC in 5 mM glucose to NO-donors for 30 min at room temperature, followed by increasing the glucose concentration to 40 mM, resulted in >75% decrease in the formation of sorbitol. These investigations indicate that NO and/or its bioactive metabolites can regulate cellular AR, leading to either activation (by nitrosation) or inactivation (by S-thiolation).  相似文献

Aminoaldehyde dehydrogenases (AMADHs, EC 1.2.1.19) belong to the large aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) superfamily, namely, the ALDH9 family. They oxidize polyamine-derived ω-aminoaldehydes to the corresponding ω-amino acids. Here, we report the first X-ray structures of plant AMADHs: two isoenzymes, PsAMADH1 and PsAMADH2, from Pisum sativum in complex with β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) at 2.4 and 2.15 Å resolution, respectively. Both recombinant proteins are dimeric and, similarly to other ALDHs, each monomer is composed of an oligomerization domain, a coenzyme binding domain and a catalytic domain. Each subunit binds NAD+ as a coenzyme, contains a solvent-accessible C-terminal peroxisomal targeting signal (type 1) and a cation bound in the cavity close to the NAD+ binding site. While the NAD+ binding mode is classical for PsAMADH2, that for PsAMADH1 is unusual among ALDHs. A glycerol molecule occupies the substrate binding site and mimics a bound substrate. Structural analysis and substrate specificity study of both isoenzymes in combination with data published previously on other ALDH9 family members show that the established categorization of such enzymes into distinct groups based on substrate specificity is no more appropriate, because many of them seem capable of oxidizing a large spectrum of aminoaldehyde substrates. PsAMADH1 and PsAMADH2 can oxidize N,N,N-trimethyl-4-aminobutyraldehyde into γ-butyrobetaine, which is the carnitine precursor in animal cells. This activity highly suggests that in addition to their contribution to the formation of compatible osmolytes such as glycine betaine, β-alanine betaine and γ-aminobutyric acid, AMADHs might participate in carnitine biosynthesis in plants.  相似文献

Dimeric dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNIC) with cysteine or glutathione as NO donors accelerated the healing of experimental skin wound in rats, as demonstrated by histological and histochemical examination. After two injections of an aqueous DNIC solution into the wound (total 5 μmol) on days 1 and 2 after surgery, the granulocyte volume in wound tissue on day 4 was 3–4 times greater than in the control. Higher DNIC doses provoked inflammation in the wound. Similar experiments with another NO donor S-nitrosoglutathione in equivalent amounts (10 μmol) adversely affected the wound. Addition of 2.5 μmol glutathione DNIC for 40 min produced EPR-detectable protein-bound DNIC (2.5 nmol) in wound tissue. Under the same conditions, 5 μmol S-nitrosoglutathione produced less than 10 pmol of protein-bound DNIC; an EPR-active nitrosyl hemoglobin complex was mainly formed (1.5–2.0 nmol) in this case. The beneficial effect of DNIC on the wound was suggested to be due to the delivery of NO to its targets without pronounced formation of cytotoxic peroxynitrite in wound tissue. In contrast, peroxynitrite could form upon administration of rapidly decomposed S-nitrosoglutathione, thereby aggravating the wound condition.  相似文献

A malic enzyme from a cell-free extract of Pseudomonas diminuta IFO-13182 was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity by DEAE-Sepharose, Sephacryl, and Blue-Sepharose chromatographies. The purified enzyme required either NAD+ or NADP+ as a coenzyme. From the results of coenzyme specificity, the enzyme should be classified as l-malate: NAD+ oxidoreductase (decarboxylating) [EC 1.1.1.39]. The purified enzyme was most active at pH 7.5 and 50°C and was stable in the pH range from 7.0 to 9.0. The isoelectric point was pH 4.3. Its molecular weight was 680,000 by COSMOSIL 5-Diol high performance liquid gel filtration on chromatography and 65,000 by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. This indicates that the enzyme consisted of 10 subunits. The malic enzyme activity with NADP+ was about twice that measured with NAD+.  相似文献

N6022 is a novel, first-in-class drug with potent inhibitory activity against S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR), an enzyme important in the metabolism of S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) and in the maintenance of nitric oxide (NO) homeostasis. Inhibition of GSNOR by N6022 and related compounds has shown safety and efficacy in animal models of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and inflammatory bowel disease [Sun, X., et al. (2011) ACS Med. Chem. Lett. 2, 402-406]. N6022 is currently in early phase clinical studies in humans. We show here that N6022 is a tight-binding, specific, and fully reversible inhibitor of GSNOR with an IC(50) of 8 nM and a K(i) of 2.5 nM. We accounted for the fact that the NAD(+)- and NADH-dependent oxidation and reduction reactions, catalyzed by GSNOR are bisubstrate in nature in our calculations. N6022 binds in the GSNO substrate binding pocket like a competitive inhibitor, although in kinetic assays it behaves with a mixed uncompetitive mode of inhibition (MOI) toward the GSNO substrate and a mixed competitive MOI toward the formaldehyde adduct, S-hydroxymethylglutathione (HMGSH). N6022 is uncompetitive with cofactors NAD(+) and NADH. The potency, specificity, and MOI of related GSNOR inhibitor compounds are also reported.  相似文献

Peroxisomes are single membrane-bounded subcellular organelles with an essentially oxidative type of metabolism and are probably the major sites of intracellular H2O2 production. These organelles also generate superoxide radicals () and besides catalase they have a complex battery of antioxidative enzymes. In recent years the existence of l-arginine-dependent nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity and the generation of the reactive nitrogen species (RNS) nitric oxide (NO) have been demonstrated in plant peroxisomes. The inter-cellular and intracellular NO carrier S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) can be generated inside peroxisomes and the presence of this RNS has been demonstrated in peroxisomes from several plant species. This review analyzes the available evidence concerning the properties of the NOS activity and the generation of the RNS messengers NO and GSNO in peroxisomes in the context of the cellular function of these organelles as a source of RNS signaling molecules. The important physiological functions displayed by NO and other RNS in intra- and inter-cellular communication in different organisms indicate that more attention should be payed to the RNS signaling function of peroxisomes in human, animal and fungal cells, where it is very likely that similar mechanisms to those found in plant peroxisomes are also operative.  相似文献

l-Arabinitol 4-dehydrogenase (LAD) catalyzes the conversion of l-arabinitol into l-xylulose with concomitant NAD+ reduction. It is an essential enzyme in the development of recombinant organisms that convert l-arabinose into fuels and chemicals using the fungal l-arabinose catabolic pathway. Here we report the crystal structure of LAD from the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa at 2.6 Å resolution. In addition, we created a number of site-directed variants of N. crassa LAD that are capable of utilizing NADP+ as cofactor, yielding the first example of LAD with an almost completely switched cofactor specificity. This work represents the first structural data on any LAD and provides a molecular basis for understanding the existing literature on the substrate specificity and cofactor specificity of this enzyme. The engineered LAD mutants with altered cofactor specificity should be useful for applications in industrial biotechnology.  相似文献

S-Nitrosylation is a post-translational modification on cysteine(s) that can regulate protein function, and pannexin 1 (Panx1) channels are present in the vasculature, a tissue rich in nitric oxide (NO) species. Therefore, we investigated whether Panx1 can be S-nitrosylated and whether this modification can affect channel activity. Using the biotin switch assay, we found that application of the NO donor S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) or diethylammonium (Z)-1–1(N,N-diethylamino)diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate (DEA NONOate) to human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293T cells expressing wild type (WT) Panx1 and mouse aortic endothelial cells induced Panx1 S-nitrosylation. Functionally, GSNO and DEA NONOate attenuated Panx1 currents; consistent with a role for S-nitrosylation, current inhibition was reversed by the reducing agent dithiothreitol and unaffected by 1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one, a blocker of guanylate cyclase activity. In addition, ATP release was significantly inhibited by treatment with both NO donors. To identify which cysteine residue(s) was S-nitrosylated, we made single cysteine-to-alanine substitutions in Panx1 (Panx1C40A, Panx1C346A, and Panx1C426A). Mutation of these single cysteines did not prevent Panx1 S-nitrosylation; however, mutation of either Cys-40 or Cys-346 prevented Panx1 current inhibition and ATP release by GSNO. This observation suggested that multiple cysteines may be S-nitrosylated to regulate Panx1 channel function. Indeed, we found that mutation of both Cys-40 and Cys-346 (Panx1C40A/C346A) prevented Panx1 S-nitrosylation by GSNO as well as the GSNO-mediated inhibition of Panx1 current and ATP release. Taken together, these results indicate that S-nitrosylation of Panx1 at Cys-40 and Cys-346 inhibits Panx1 channel currents and ATP release.  相似文献
