One-electron oxidation of six different c-type lysozymes from hen egg white, turkey egg white, human milk, horse milk, camel stomach and tortoise was studied by gamma- and pulse-radiolysis. In the first step, one tryptophan side chain is oxidized to indolyl free radical, which is produced quantitatively. As shown already, the indolyl radical subsequently oxidizes a tyrosine side chain to the phenoxy radical in an intramolecular reaction. However this reaction is not total and its stoichiometry depends on the protein. Rate constants also vary between proteins, from 120 x s(-1) to 1000 x s(-1) at pH 7.0 and room temperature [extremes are hen and turkey egg white (120 x s(-1)) and human milk (1000 x s(-1))]. In hen and turkey egg white lysozymes we show that another reactive site is the Asn103-Gly104 peptidic bond, which gets broken radiolytically. Tryptic digestion followed by HPLC separation and identification of the peptides was performed for nonirradiated and irradiated hen lysozyme. Fluorescence spectra of the peptides indicate that Trp108 and/or 111 remain oxidized and that Tyr20 and 53 give bityrosine. Tyr23 appears not to be involved in the process. Thus new features of long-range intramolecular electron transfer in proteins appear: it is only partial and other groups are involved which are silent in pulse radiolysis.  相似文献

With the technique of pulse radiolysis we have measured the redox midpoint potentials of the tryptophan side chain neutral indolyl radical (1.05 +/- 0.01 V vs NHE, pH 7.0 and 25 degrees C) and the tyrosine side chain neutral phenoxy radical (0.94 +/- 0.01 vs NHE, pH 7.0 and 25 degrees C). These potentials were obtained by using a variety of inorganic reference compounds in both kinetic and equilibrium protocols. We compare these results with others already in the literature, and we also present data useful in establishing a pulse radiolysis redox reference scale over the range 0.42-1.28 V.  相似文献

The intermolecular electron transfer kinetics between nitrite reductase (NiR, cytochrome cd1) isolated from Pseudomonas nautica and three cytochromes c isolated from the same strain, as well as the intramolecular electron transfer between NiR heme c and NiR heme d1, were investigated by cyclic voltammetry. All cytochromes (cytochrome c552, cytochrome c553 and cytochrome C553(548)) exhibited well-behaved electrochemistry. The individual diffusion coefficients and mid-point redox potentials were determined. Under the experimental conditions, only cytochrome c552 established a rapid electron transfer with NiR. At acidic pH, the intermolecular electron transfer (cytochrome c(552red)-->NiR heme cox) is a second-order reaction with a rate constant (k2) of 4.1+/-0.1x10(5) M(-1) s(-1) (pH=6.3 and 100 mM NaCl). Under these conditions, the intermolecular reaction represents the rate-limiting step. A minimum estimate of 33 s(-1) could be determined for the first-order rate constant (k1) of the intramolecular electron transfer reaction NiR heme c(red)-->NiR heme d1ox. The pH dependence of k2 values was investigated at pH values ranging from 5.8 to 8.0. When the pH is progressively shifted towards basic values, the rate constant of the intramolecular electron transfer reaction NiR heme c(red)-->NiR heme d1ox decreases gradually to a point where it becomes rate limiting. At pH 8.0 we determined a value of 1.4+/-0.7 s(-1), corresponding to a k2 value of 2.2+/-1.1x10(4) M(-1) s(-1) for the intermolecular step. The physiological relevance of these results is discussed with a particular emphasis on the proposed mechanism of "dead-end product" formation.  相似文献

Time-resolved absorption spectroscopy has been employed to study the directionality and rate of charge transfer in W-Y and Ac-W-Y dipeptides as a function of pH. Excitation with 266-nm nanosecond laser pulses produces both W (or [WH](+), depending on pH) and Y. Between pH 6 and 10, W to was found to oxidize Y with k(X)=9.0x10(4) s(-1) and 1.8x10(4) s(-1) for the W-Y and Ac-W-Y dipeptide systems, respectively. The intramolecular charge transfer rate increases as the pH is lowered over the range 6>pH>2. For 10W-Y(-) (Y(-), tyrosinate anion), with a rate constant of k(X)=1.2x10(5) s(-1). The dependence of charge transfer directionality between W and Y on pH is important to the enzymatic function of several model and natural biological systems as discussed here for ribonucleotide reductase.  相似文献

Laser flash photolysis was used to study the reaction of photoproduced 5-deazariboflavin (dRFH.), lumiflavin (LFH.), and riboflavin (RFH.) semiquinone radicals with the redox centers of purified chicken liver sulfite oxidase. Kinetic studies of the native enzyme with dRFH. yielded a second-order rate constant of 4.0 X 10(8) M-1 s-1 for direct reduction of the heme and a first-order rate constant of 310 s-1 for intramolecular electron transfer from the Mo center to the heme. The reaction with LFH. gave a second-order rate constant of 2.9 X 10(7) M-1 s-1 for heme reduction. Reoxidation of the reduced heme due to intramolecular electron transfer to the Mo center gave a first-order rate constant of 155 s-1. The direction of intramolecular electron transfer using dRFH. and LFH. was independent of the buffer used for the experiment. The different first-order rate constants observed for intramolecular electron transfer using dRFH. and LFH. are proposed to result from chemical differences at the Mo site. Flash photolysis studies with cyanide-inactivated sulfite oxidase using dRFH. and LFH. resulted in second-order reduction of the heme center with rate constants identical with those obtained with the native enzyme, whereas the first-order intramolecular electron-transfer processes seen with the native enzyme were absent. The isolated heme peptide of sulfite oxidase gave only second-order kinetics upon laser photolysis and confirmed that the first-order processes observed with the native enzyme involve the Mo site.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

A substrate analogue, 6-(difluoromethyl)tryptophan, was developed and characterized for mechanistic investigation of tryptophanase. The utility of this derivative was based on its ability to partition between fluoride elimination and carbon-carbon bond scission during tryptophan metabolism. The non-enzymatic hydrolysis to 6-formyltryptophan occurred slowly under neutral conditions with a first-order rate constant of 0.0039 min-1. This process, however, was accelerated by 10(4)-fold upon deprotonation of the indolyl nitrogen (N-1) at high pH. Tryptophanase did not detectably facilitate this hydrolysis reaction, since no protein-dependent conversion of the difluoromethyl group was detected. Instead, the enzyme accepted the fluorinated species as an analogue of tryptophan and catalyzed the corresponding formation of 6-(difluoromethyl)indole, pyruvate, and ammonium ion. Anionic intermediates are therefore not expected to form during the catalytic activation of the indolyl moiety. Instead, aromatic protonation likely promotes the release of indole during enzymatic degradation of tryptophan.  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

A series of radical transitions, Br2-.----Met(S therefore Br)----Trp(indolyl)----Tyr (phenoxyl), has been demonstrated by pulse radiolysis of N2O-saturated aqueous solutions containing Br-, Met-Gly and Trp-(Gly)2-Tyr at pH 6.7. The intramolecular Met(S therefore Br)----Trp(indolyl) transition in the dipeptide Met-Trp is shown to proceed via the Trp+. radical cation, with a rate constant of k approximately 10(7)s-1, consistent with an electron transfer. Br2-.-attack upon ribonuclease A (RNase) leads to a fast Met(S therefore Br)----Tyr(phenoxyl) process, k = (4.0 +/- 1.0) X 10(5)s-1, probably involving the solvent-exposed Met-29 and the adjacent Tyr-25. Phenoxyl dimerization in the RNase system produces the characteristic o,o'-biphenol fluorescence, but a competing interaction of the Tyr-25(phenoxyl) with the 26-84 disulphide group also appears possible.  相似文献

The repair of tryptophan and tyrosine radicals in proteins by urate was studied by pulse radiolysis. In chymotrypsin, urate repairs tryptophan radicals efficiently with a rate constant of 2.7 × 10(8)M(-1)s(-1), ca. 14 times higher than the rate constant derived for N-acetyltryptophan amide, 1.9 × 10(7)M(-1)s(-1). In contrast, no repair of tryptophan radicals was observed in pepsin, which indicates a rate constant smaller than 6 × 10(7)M(-1)s(-1). Urate repairs tyrosine radicals in pepsin with a rate constant of 3 × 10(8)M(-1)s(-1)-ca. 12 times smaller than the rate constant reported for free tyrosine-but not in chymotrypsin, which implies an upper limit of 1 × 10(6)M(-1)s(-1) for the corresponding rate constant. Intra- and intermolecular electron transfer from tyrosine residues to tryptophan radicals is observed in both proteins, however, to different extents and with different rate constants. Urate inhibits electron transfer in chymotrypsin but not in pepsin. Our results suggest that urate repairs the first step on the long path to protein modification and prevents damage in vivo. It may prove to be a very important repair agent in tissue compartments where its concentration is higher than that of ascorbate. The product of such repair, the urate radical, can be reduced by ascorbate. Loss of ascorbate is then expected to be the net result, whereas urate is conserved.  相似文献

The effect of viscosity, solvent polarity and pH of the medium on the reaction of a protein, bovine serum albumin (BSA), with organohalo-peroxyl radical in aqueous solution has been studied using pulse radiolysis technique. Unlike in dilute aqueous solution, electron transfer from tyrosine to tryptophan radical in BSA has been clearly observed at a viscosity of 7.7 centiPoise (cP). The oxidation of BSA, tryptophan and tyrosine in different media has also been compared with those taking place in dilute aqueous solution. The effect of solvent characteristics on the observed charge transfer has been discussed.  相似文献

As experimentally observed in gamma-irradiated aqueous solutions of tryptophan-containing peptides in the presence of DNA, a fast electron (or hydrogen atom) transfer from the DNA restores an intact tryptophan residue at the expense of the DNA integrity. Alternatively, addition of the deprotonated electron-deficient indolyl radical to the DNA, followed by subsequent rearrangement, may lead toward DNA/tryptophan-containing peptide cross-linking. Herein, possible reaction mechanisms for thymine-indolyl radical cross-linking are proposed. The consistent use of the contact spin density distribution is the key virtue of this work. The Becke 3, Lee, Yang, and Parr (B3LYP) density functional theory (DFT) method is employed to investigate the feasibility of the proposed cross-linking mechanisms. A possible complete reaction mechanism consists of a combination of the C(5)-hydroxylated thymine and indolyl radicals forming the initial cross-linked product, a hydrogen transfer within the initial cross-linked product by use of a bridging water molecule, and a dehydration step. The overall thermodynamics of the free energy profiles at 0 and 298 K are similar and display differences of magnitude for the hydrogen-transfer reaction. Temperature may be a key factor influencing the overall mechanism. The skeletal structures and contact spin densities on the heavy atoms of the tryptophan side chain and indolyl radicals are essentially equal. Hence, it is believed that a direct combination of the C(5)-hydroxylated thymine and tryptophan radicals should form the initial cross-linked product, as far as addition of the tryptophan radical to the DNA is concerned.  相似文献

Cytochrome c-552 from Chromatium vinosum is an unusual heme protein in that it contains two hemes and one flavin per molecule. To investigate whether intramolecular electron transfer occurs in this protein, we have studied its reduction by external photoreduced flavin by using pulsed-laser excitation. This approach allows us to measure reduction kinetics on the mirosecond time scale. Both fully reduced lumiflavin and lumiflavin semiquinone radical reduce cytochrome c-552 with second-order rate constants of approximately 1.4 x 10(6) M-1s-1 and 1.9 x 10(8) M-1 s-1, respectively. Kinetic and spectral data and the results of similar studies with riboflavin indicate that both the flavin and heme moieties of cytochrome c-552 are reduced simultaneously on a millisecond time scale, with the transient formation of a protein-bound flavin anion radical. This is suggested to be due to rapid intramolecular electron transfer. Further, steric restrictions play an important role in the reduction reaction. Studies were conducted on the redox processes following photolysis of CO-ferrocytochrome c-552 in which the flavin was partly oxidized to resolve the kinetics of electron transfer between the heme and flavin of cytochrome c-552. Based on these results, we conclude that intramolecular electron transfer from ferrous heme to oxidized flavin occurs with a first-order rate constant of greater than 1.4 x 10(6) s-1.  相似文献

Stopped-flow techniques were utilized to investigate the kinetics of the reaction of lignin peroxidase compounds I and II (LiPI and LiPII) with veratryl alcohol (VA). All rate data were collected from single turnover experiments under pseudo first-order conditions. The reaction of LiPI with VA strictly obeys second-order kinetics over the pH range 2.72-5.25 as demonstrated by linear plots of the pseudo first-order rate constants versus concentrations of VA. The second-order rate constants are strongly dependent on pH and range from 2.62 x 10(6) M-1 s-1 (pH 2.72) to 1.45 x 10(4) M-1 s-1 (pH 5.25). The reaction of LiPII and VA exhibits saturation behavior when the observed pseudo first-order rate constants are plotted against VA concentrations. The saturation phenomenon is quantitatively explained by the formation of a 1:1 LiPII-substrate complex. Results of kinetic and rapid scan spectral analyses exclude the formation of a LiPII-VA cation radical complex. The first-order dissociation rate constant and the equilibrium dissociation constant for the LiPII reaction are also pH dependent. Binding of VA to LiPII is controlled by a heme-linked ionizable group of pKa approximately 4.2. The pH profiles of the second-order rate constants for the LiPI reaction and of the first-order dissociation constants for the LiPII reaction both demonstrate two pKa values at approximately 3.0 and approximately 4.2. Protonated oxidized enzyme intermediates are most active, suggesting that only electron transfer, not proton uptake from the reducing substrate, occurs at the enzyme active site. These results are consistent with the one-electron oxidation of VA to an aryl cation radical by LiPI and LiPII.  相似文献

Electron transfer within complexes of cytochrome c (Cc) and cytochrome c peroxidase (CcP) was studied to determine whether the reactions are gated by fluctuations in configuration. Electron transfer in the physiological complex of yeast Cc (yCc) and CcP was studied using the Ru-39-Cc derivative, in which the H39C/C102T variant of yeast iso-1-cytochrome c is labeled at the single cysteine residue on the back surface with trisbipyridylruthenium(II). Laser excitation of the 1:1 Ru-39-Cc-CcP compound I complex at low ionic strength results in rapid electron transfer from RuII to heme c FeIII, followed by electron transfer from heme c FeII to the Trp-191 indolyl radical cation with a rate constant keta of 2 x 10(6) s-1 at 20 degrees C. keta is not changed by increasing the viscosity up to 40 cP with glycerol and is independent of temperature. These results suggest that this reaction is not gated by fluctuations in the configuration of the complex, but may represent the elementary electron transfer step. The value of keta is consistent with the efficient pathway for electron transfer in the crystalline yCc-CcP complex, which has a distance of 16 A between the edge of heme c and the Trp-191 indole [Pelletier, H., and Kraut, J. (1992) Science 258, 1748-1755]. Electron transfer in the complex of horse Cc (hCc) and CcP was examined using Ru-27-Cc, in which hCc is labeled with trisbipyridylruthenium(II) at Lys-27. Laser excitation of the Ru-27-Cc-CcP complex results in electron transfer from RuII to heme c FeII with a rate constant k1 of 2.3 x 10(7) s-1, followed by oxidation of the Trp-191 indole to a radical cation by RuIII with a rate constant k3 of 7 x 10(6) s-1. The cycle is completed by electron transfer from heme c FeII to the Trp-191 radical cation with a rate constant k4 of 6.1 x 10(4) s-1. The rate constant k4 decreases to 3.4 x 10(3) s-1 as the viscosity is increased to 84 cP, but the rate constants k1 and k3 remain the same. The results are consistent with a gating mechanism in which the Ru-27-Cc-CcP complex undergoes fluctuations between a major state A with the configuration of the hCc-CcP crystalline complex and a minor state B with the configuration of the yCc-CcP complex. The hCc-CcP complex, state A, has an inefficient pathway for electron transfer from heme c to the Trp-191 indolyl radical cation with a distance of 20.5 A and a predicted value of 5 x 10(2) s-1 for k4A. The observed rate constant k4 is thus gated by the rate constant ka for conversion of state A to state B, where the rate of electron transfer k4B is expected to be 2 x 10(6) s-1. The temperature dependence of k4 provides activation parameters that are consistent with the proposed gating mechanism. These studies provide evidence that configurational gating does not control electron transfer in the physiological yCc-CcP complex, but is required in the nonphysiological hCc-CcP complex.  相似文献

Intramolecular electron transfer in hen egg-white lysozyme between tryptophan and tyrosine units was investigated by means of pulse radiolysis in the temperature range 288–333 K. An Arrhenius plot for the kinetics of this process shows a sharp break at ~303 K (30°C) compatible with the trend noted earlier (cf P. Jolles, et al. BBA. 491. 354. (1977)) on the Arrhenius plot for kinetics of bacterial substrate digestion by lysozyme. The departure from linearity of the Arrhenius plot for intramolecular electron transfer is interpreted in terms of local intralobe fluctuations of the native structure of lysozyme. It is suggested that such an approach can be useful for probing predenaturational changes in proteins.  相似文献

Disulfide bond reduction by the CO2.- radical was investigated in aponeocarzinostatin, aporiboflavin-binding protein, and bovine immunoglobulin. Protein-bound cysteine free thiols were formed under gamma-ray irradiation in the course of a pH-dependent and protein concentration dependent chain reaction. The chain efficiency increased upon acidification of the medium, with an apparent pKa around 5, and decreased abruptly below pH 3.6. It decreased also at neutral pH as cysteine accumulated. From pulse radiolysis analysis, CO2.- proved able to induce rapid one-electron oxidation of thiols and of tyrosine phenolic groups in addition to one-electron donation to exposed disulfide bonds. The bulk rate constant of CO2.- uptake by the native proteins was 5- to 10-fold faster at pH 3 than at pH 8, and the protonated form of the disulfide radical anion, [symbol: see text], appeared to be the major protein radical species formed under acidic conditions. The main decay path of [symbol: see text] consisted of the rapid formation of a thiyl radical intermediate [symbol: see text] in equilibrium with the closed, cyclic form. The thiyl radical was subsequently reduced to the sulfhydryl level [symbol: see text] on reaction with formate, generating 1 mol of the CO2.- radical, thus propagating the chain reaction. The disulfide radical anion [symbol: see text] at pH 8 decayed through competing intramolecular and/or intermolecular routes including disproportionation, protein-protein cross-linking, electron transfer with tyrosine residues, and reaction with sulfhydryl groups in prereduced systems. Disproportionation and cross-linking were observed with the riboflavin-binding protein solely. Formation of the disulfide radical cation [symbol: see text], phenoxyl radical Tyr-O. disproportionation, and phenoxyl radical induced oxidation of preformed thiol groups should also be taken into consideration to explain the fate of the oxygen-centered phenoxyl radical.  相似文献

The Cu-containing nitrite reductase from Hyphomicrobium denitrificans (HydNIR) has been spectroscopically and functionally characterized. The visible absorption spectrum implies that the enzyme has two type 1 Cu ions in one subunit (ca. 50 kDa). The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrum of HydNIR is simulated assuming the sum of three distinct S = 1/2 systems: two type 1 Cu signals (axial and rhombic symmetries) and one type 2 Cu signal. The intramolecular electron transfer reaction from the type 1 Cu to the type 2 Cu at pH 6.0 does not occur in the absence of nitrite, but a very slow electron transfer reaction is observed in the presence of nitrite. The apparent first-order rate constants for the intramolecular electron transfer reactions (k(ET(intra))) in the presence of nitrite and also the apparent catalytic rate constants (k(cat)) of HydNIR decrease gradually with increasing pH in the range of pH 4.5-7.5. These pH profiles are substantially similar to each other, suggesting that the intramolecular electron transfer process is linked to the subsequent nitrite reduction process.  相似文献

One-electron oxidation of TyrOH-TrpH or TrpH-TyrOH in aqueous solutions by N3 radicals occurs predominantly at the tryptophyl residue. The corresponding indolyl radicals (absorbing at 510 nm) are subsequently transformed into phenoxyl radicals (absorbing at 390/405 nm): TyrOH-Trp leads to TyrO-TrpH, k5 = 5.4 x 10(4)s-1, (5), Trp-TyrOH leads to TrpH-TyrO, k7 = 7.3 x 10(4)s-1. (7) The first-order radical transformation rates are independent of the (initial) concentration of N3 or peptide and unaffected by urea (as a modifier of hydrogen bond structures). Intermolecular conversion of indolyl into phenoxyl radicals, e.g. by reaction of GlyH-Trp with TyrOH-GlyH, is very slow and inefficient. It is concluded that reactions (5) and (7) occur by intramolecular charge transfer across the peptide bond.  相似文献

The one-electron transfer reaction from reduced flavocytochrome b2 (fully reduced by three electron equivalents) to ferricytochrome c, both purified from the yeast Hansenula anomala, has been studied using stopped-flow spectrophotometry in the course of a single turnover, for reactants initially mixed in a heme molar ratio equal to one. The cytochrome c reduction proceeded to completion through an apparently first-order process. Depending on the experimental conditions (concentrations and or ionic strength), the reduction is of second-order or first-order character. To interpret these kinetic results computer simulation studies have been performed based on a kinetic scheme involving, besides the formation of a complex before the electron transfer step, intramolecular electron transfer steps within flavocytochrome b2 to maintain the concentration of the specific electron donor center, the reduced cytochrome b2. As far as the cytochrome c reduction rate constant, ka, and its variations were concerned the simulated data showed that this complicated scheme could approximate a mechanism which is by far the simplest, involving only the two former steps. Such a scheme accounts firstly for the hyperbolic dependence of the rate of reduction of cytochrome c, ka, upon reductant concentrations which had provided clear evidence for the kinetic existence of a complex in the reaction pathway. At 5 degrees C the rate constant for the electron transfer is 380 s-1 with an activation energy of 13.8kJ mol-1 (3.3 kcal mol-1). Secondly it predicts the observed variations of ka with ionic strength and provides estimates of the rate constants of the binding step.  相似文献

In order to check the validity of several basic assumptions of protein photochemically induced nuclear polarization (protein photo-CIDNP), we have investigated the quenching processes of the dye triplets by the side chains of tyrosine, histidine, and tryptophan in a variety of molecular systems and environments. The quenching (H atom or electron transfer) is the generating process of the triplet electron-spin-correlated radical pair, the evolution of which gives rise to nuclear polarization. At pH 7 the quenching of 10-(carboxyethyl)flavin triplets by tyrosine and tryptophan is almost diffusion controlled. Quenching by histidine is slower. We have also investigated the slow quenching (by electron transfer) by the side chains of methionine and could show that quenching by cysteine S derivatives is negligible. Quenching by tyrosine and histidine peptides and by the tyrosines of the pancreatic trypsin inhibitor protein is slightly slower than by free side chains. Quenching is strongly viscosity controlled, to be expected of a process requiring bimolecular contact. Reactivity trends at high viscosities resemble those observed in fluid aqueous solutions. Activation energies of quenching by tyrosine, tryptophan, and histidine are similar. No difference could be detected in the mechanism of quenching by these side chains. No fast static quenching was observed that could compete with the diffusional process.  相似文献
