Prostaglandin-endoperoxide H synthase-2 (PGHS-2) shows peroxidase activity to promote the cyclooxygenase reaction for prostaglandin H2, but one of the highly conserved amino acid residues in peroxidases, distal Arg, stabilizing the developing negative charge on the peroxide through a hydrogen-bonding interaction, is replaced with a neutral amino acid residue, Gln. To characterize the peroxidase reaction in PGHS-2, we prepared three distal glutamine (Gln-189) mutants, Arg (Gln-->Arg), Asn (Gln-->Asn), and Val (Gln-->Val) mutants, and examined their peroxidase activity together with their structural characterization by absorption and resonance Raman spectra. Although a previous study (Landino, L. M., Crews, B. C., Gierse, J. K., Hauser, S. D., and Marnett, L. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 21565-21574) suggested that the Gln residue might serve as a functionally equivalent residue to Arg, our current results clearly showed that the peroxidase activity of the Val and Asn mutants was comparable with that of the wild-type enzyme. In addition, the Fe-C and C-O stretching modes in the CO adduct were almost unperturbed by the mutation, implying that Gln-189 might not directly interact with the heme-ligated peroxide. Rather, the peroxidase activity of the Arg mutant was depressed, concomitant with the heme environmental change from a six-coordinate to a five-coordinate structure. Introduction of the bulky amino acid residue, Arg, would interfere with the ligation of a water molecule to the heme iron, suggesting that the side chain volume, and not the amide group, at position 189 is essential for the peroxidase activity of PGHS-2. Thus, we can conclude that the O-O bond cleavage in PGHS-2 is promoted without interactions with charged side chains at the peroxide binding site, which is significantly different from that in typical plant peroxidases. 相似文献

Prostaglandin endoperoxide H synthases-1 and -2 (PGHSs) can oxygenate 18-22 carbon polyunsaturated fatty acids, albeit with varying efficiencies. Here we report the crystal structures of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5 n-3) and linoleic acid (LA, 18:2 n-6) bound in the cyclooxygenase active site of Co(3+) protoporphyrin IX-reconstituted ovine PGHS-1 (Co(3+)-oPGHS-1) and compare the effects of active site substitutions on the rates of oxygenation of EPA, LA, and arachidonic acid (AA). Both EPA and LA bind in the active site with orientations similar to those seen previously with AA and dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DHLA). For EPA, the presence of an additional double bond (C-17/C-18) causes this substrate to bind in a "strained" conformation in which C-13 is misaligned with respect to Tyr-385, the residue that abstracts hydrogen from substrate fatty acids. Presumably, this misalignment is responsible for the low rate of EPA oxygenation. For LA, the carboxyl half binds in a more extended configuration than AA, which results in positioning C-11 next to Tyr-385. Val-349 and Ser-530, recently identified as important determinants for efficient oxygenation of DHLA by PGHS-1, play similar roles in the oxygenation of EPA and LA. Approximately 750- and 175-fold reductions in the oxygenation efficiency of EPA and LA were observed with V349A oPGHS-1, compared with a 2-fold change for AA. Val-349 contacts C-2 and C-3 of EPA and C-4 of LA orienting the carboxyl halves of these substrates so that the omega-ends are aligned properly for hydrogen abstraction. An S530T substitution decreases the V(max)/K(m) of EPA and LA by 375- and 140-fold. Ser-530 makes six contacts with EPA and four with LA involving C-8 through C-16; these interactions influence the alignment of the substrate for hydrogen abstraction. Interestingly, replacement of Phe-205 increases the volume of the cyclooxygenase site allowing EPA to be oxygenated more efficiently than with native oPGHS-1. 相似文献

In the literature, biological tyrosine nitrations have been reported to depend not only on peroxynitrite but also on nitrite/hydrogen peroxide linked to catalysis by myeloperoxidase. In endotoxin-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages, we have detected a major nitrotyrosine positive protein band around 72 kDa and identified it as prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase-2 (PGHS-2). Isolated PGHS-2 in absence of its substrate arachidonate was not only tyrosine-nitrated with peroxynitrite, but also with nitrite/hydrogen peroxide in complete absence of myeloperoxidase. Our data favor an autocatalytic activation of nitrite by PGHS-2 with a subsequent nitration of the essential tyrosine residue in the cyclooxygenase domain. Under inflammatory conditions, nitrite formed via NO-synthase-2 may therefore act as an endogenous regulator for PGHS-2 in stimulated macrophages. Nitration of PGHS-2 by the autocatalytic activation of nitrite further depends on the intracellular concentration of arachidonate since arachidonate reacted competitively with nitrite and could prevent PGHS-2 from nitration when excessively present. 相似文献

Recent studies suggested that prostaglandin endoperoxide H synthase-1 and prostaglandin endoperoxide H synthase-2 (PGHS-1 and PGHS-2) utilize different pools of arachidonic acid for synthesizing prostanoids. Using cultured murine NIH3T3 fibroblasts, we investigated the mechanism for the different utilization of arachidonic acid between PGHS-1 and -2. Histofluorescence staining for PGHS activity in intact cells demonstrated that quiescent 3T3 cells expressed only PGHS-1 activity and serum-activated 3T3 cells pretreated with aspirin expressed only PGHS-2 activity. Endogenous arachidonic acid released by calcium ionophore A23187 was not converted by PGHS-1 but exclusively converted by PGHS-2. In the cell free system, the kinetics of PGHS-1 were not so much different from those of PGHS-2. However, in intact cells, arachidonic acid at concentrations lower than 2.5 μM was converted by PGHS-2 alone but not by PGHS-1. Our findings indicated that this small amount of arachidonic acid as released by some stimuli is converted exclusively by PGHS-2. Furthermore, treating the PGHS-2-expressing cells with sodium selenite or ebselen, reducing agents of intracellular peroxides, only decreased PGHS-2 activity. We speculate that only PGHS-2 has been activated by intracellular peroxides and subsequently, it can convert the arachidonic acid released endogenously. 相似文献

By using the technique of site-directed spin labeling combined with EPR spectroscopy, we have observed that binding of arachidonic acid and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs induces conformational changes in the human prostaglandin endoperoxide H(2) synthase enzyme (PGHS-2). Line shape broadening resulting from spin-spin coupling of nitroxide pairs introduced into the membrane-binding helices of PGHS-2 was used to calculate the inter-helical distances and changes in these distances that occur in response to binding various ligands. The inter-residue distances determined for the PGHS-2 holoenzyme using EPR were 1-7.9 A shorter than those of the crystal structure of the PGHS-2 holoenzyme. However, inter-helical distances calculated and determined by EPR for PGHS-2 complexed with arachidonic acid, flurbiprofen, and SC-58125 were in close agreement with those obtained from the cognate crystal structures. These results indicate that the structure of the solubilized PGHS-2 holoenzyme measured in solution differs from the crystal structure of PGHS-2 holoenzyme obtained by x-ray analysis. Furthermore, binding of ligands induces a conformational change in the holo-PGHS-2, converting it to a structure similar to those obtained by x-ray analysis. Proteolysis protection assays had previously provided circumstantial evidence that binding of heme and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs alters the conformation of PGHS, but the present experiments are the first to directly measure such changes. The finding that arachidonate can also induce a conformational change in PGHS-2 was unexpected, and the magnitude of changes suggests this structural flexibility may be integral to the cyclooxygenase catalytic mechanism. 相似文献

A cDNA coding for ovine prostaglandin endoperoxide (PGH) synthase-1 was used to construct a recombinant baculovirus which was expressed in Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) insect cells. Two proteins reactive with anti-PGH synthase antibody were produced. A larger protein (Mr = 72,000) coelectrophoresed with native enzyme; a smaller, more abundant protein (Mr = 66,000) was unglycosylated enzyme. About 90% of both the immunoreactivity and the cyclooxygenase activity were present in a low speed (10(5) g x min) pellet; variable but low peroxidase activities were observed in this fraction. The specific cyclooxygenase activity of solubilized PGH synthase-1 from Sf9 cells was 56 units/mg versus 112 units/mg for the same cDNA expressed in cos-1 cells. The baculovirus-insect cell system is not ideal for generating large amounts of active PGH synthase-1 apparently because of inefficient N-glycosylation. 相似文献

Increased expression of prostaglandin endoperoxide H synthase-2 (PGHS-2) has been implicated in pathological conditions such as inflammatory bowel diseases and colon cancer. Recently, it has been demonstrated that inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS II) expression and nitric oxide (NO) production are up-regulated in these diseases as well. However, the apparent link between PGHS-2 and NOS II has not been thoroughly investigated in nontransformed and nontumorigenic colonic epithelial cells. In the present study, we examined the concomitant expression of PGHS-2 and NOS II as well as the production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and NO in conditionally immortalized mouse colonic epithelial cells, namely YAMC (Apc(+/+)). We found that the induction of PGHS-2 and generation of PGE2 in these cells by IFN-gamma and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were greatly reduced by two selective NOS II inhibitors, L-NIL and SMT. To ascertain the effect of NO on PGHS-2 overexpression, we tested NO-releasing compounds, NOR-1 and SNAP, and found that they caused PGHS-2 expression and PGE2 production. This effect was abolished by hemoglobin, a NO scavenger. Using electrophoretic mobility shift assays, we found that both NOR-1 and SNAP caused beta-catenin/LEF-1 DNA complex formation. Super-shift by anti-beta-catenin antibody confirmed the presence of beta-catenin in the complex. Cell fractionation studies indicated that NO donors caused an increase in free soluble cytoplasmic beta-catenin. This is further corroborated by the immunocytochemistry data showing the redistribution of beta-catenin from the predominantly membrane localization into the cytoplasm and nucleus after treatment with NO donors. To further explore the possible connection between PGHS-2 expression and beta-catenin/LEF-1 DNA complex formation, we studied IMCE (Apc(Min/+)) cells, a sister cell line of YAMC with similar genetic background but differing in Apc genotype and, consequently, their beta-catenin levels. We found that IMCE cells, in comparison with YAMC cells, had markedly higher beta-catenin/LEF-1 DNA complex formation under both resting conditions as well as after induction with NO. In parallel fashion, IMCE cells expressed significantly higher levels of PGHS-2 mRNA and protein, and generated more PGE2. Overall, this study suggests that NO may be involved in PGHS-2 overexpression in conditionally immortalized mouse colonic epithelial cells. Although the molecular mechanism of the link is still under investigation, this effect of NO appears directly or indirectly to be a result of the increase in free soluble beta-catenin and the formation of nuclear beta-catenin/LEF-1 DNA complex. 相似文献

Prostaglandin endoperoxide H synthases-1 and -2 (PGHS-1 and -2) convert arachidonic acid to prostaglandin H(2) (PGH(2)), the committed step in prostaglandin and thromboxane formation. Interaction of peroxides with the heme sites in PGHSs generates a tyrosyl radical that catalyzes subsequent cyclooxygenase chemistry. To study the peroxidase reaction of ovine oPGHS-1, we combined spectroscopic and directed mutagenesis data with X-ray crystallographic refinement of the heme site. Optical and Raman spectroscopy of oxidized oPGHS-1 indicate that its heme iron (Fe(3+)) exists exclusively as a high-spin, six-coordinate species in the holoenzyme and in heme-reconstituted apoenzyme. The sixth ligand is most likely water. The cyanide complex of oxidized oPGHS-1 has a six-coordinate, low-spin ferric iron with a v[Fe-CN] frequency at 445 cm(-)(1); a monotonic sensitivity to cyanide isotopomers that indicates the Fe-CN adduct has a linear geometry. The ferrous iron in reduced oPGHS-1 adopts a high-spin, five-coordinate state that is converted to a six-coordinate, low-spin geometry by CO. The low-frequency Raman spectrum of reduced oPGHS-1 reveals two v[Fe-His] frequencies at 206 and 222 cm(-)(1). These vibrations, which disappear upon addition of CO, are consistent with a neutral histidine (His388) as the proximal heme ligand. The refined crystal structure shows that there is a water molecule located between His388 and Tyr504 that can hydrogen bond to both residues. However, substitution of Tyr504 with alanine yields a mutant having 46% of the peroxidase activity of native oPGHS-1, establishing that bonding of Tyr504 to this water is not critical for catalysis. Collectively, our results show that the proximal histidine ligand in oPGHS-1 is electrostatically neutral. Thus, in contrast to most other peroxidases, a strongly basic proximal ligand is not necessary for peroxidase catalysis by oPGHS-1. 相似文献

A number of studies have demonstrated that prostacyclin and nitric oxide (NO) regulate blood pressure, blood flow and platelet aggregation. In this paper, we have examined the possible relationship between NO and prostaglandin endoperoxide H synthase (PGHS)-1 and -2 activities in cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells. In the non-activated condition endothelial cells expressed PGHS-1 activity alone. When these cells were pretreated with aspirin to inactivate their PGHS-1 and then activated by serum and phorbol ester (TPA) for 6 h, the cells expressed PGHS-2 activity alone. The PGHS activity was assessed by the generation of 6-ketoprostaglandin F1alpha (6-ketoPGF1alpha), a stable metabolite of prostacyclin, after the treatment of these cells with arachidonic acid. The simultaneous addition of NOC-7, a NO donor, with arachidonic acid did not affect the production of 6-ketoPGF1alpha in PGHS-1 expressed cells, but attenuated it in PGHS-2-expressed cells. The inhibitory effect of NOC-7 on PGHS-2 activity was dose dependent, and the different effects of NOC-7 on the activities of PGHS isozymes were also observed in other NO donors. To confirm the different effect of NO on PGHS isozymes demonstrated in the cultured endothelial cells, we carried out an ex vivo perfusion assay in aorta isolated from normal and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated rats. In the aortae isolated from normal rats, where dominant expression of PGHS-1 was expected, the NO donor did not affect the PGHS activity, while in aortae isolated from LPS-treated rats, where PGHS-2 was dominantly expressed, the NO donor dramatically inhibited the PGHS activity, suggesting that NO suppressed PGHS-2 activity alone. The inhibitory effect of NO on PGHS-2 activity was not mediated by cyclic GMP (cGMP), since (a) methylene blue, an inhibitor of soluble guanylate cyclase did not abolish the inhibitory effect of the NO donor on PGHS-2 activity, and (b) 8-Br-cGMP, a permeable cGMP analogue, failed to mimic the effect of NO donors. These data suggest that the effect of NO on prostacyclin production in endothelial cells was dependent on the expression rate of PGHS-1 and PGHS-2 in the cells. 相似文献

Prostaglandin endoperoxide H synthases (PGHSs)-1 and -2 have a cyclooxygenase (COX) activity involved in forming prostaglandin G2 (PGG2) from arachidonic acid and an associated peroxidase (POX) activity that reduces PGG2 to PGH2. Suicide inactivation processes are observed for both POX and COX reactions. Here we report COX reaction conditions for PGHS-1 under which complete COX inactivation occurs but with > or = 60% retention of POX activity. The rates of POX inactivation were compared for native oPGHS-1 versus Y385F oPGHS-1, a mutant that cannot form the Tyr385 radical of COX Intermediate II; the rates were the same for both native and Y385F oPGHS-1. Our data indicate that a COX Intermediate II/acyl or product complex is the precursor in COX inactivation. However, another species, probably an Intermediate II-like species but with a radical centered on a tyrosine other than Tyr385, is the immediate precursor for POX inactivation. 相似文献

Arg-120 is located near the mouth of the hydrophobic channel that forms the cyclooxygenase active site of prostaglandin endoperoxide H synthases (PGHSs)-1 and -2. Replacement of Arg-120 of ovine PGHS-1 with a glutamine increases the apparent Km of PGHS-1 for arachidonate by 1,000-fold (Bhattacharyya, D. K., Lecomte, M., Rieke, C. J., Garavito, R. M., and Smith, W. L. (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 2179-2184). This and other evidence indicate that the guanido group of Arg-120 forms an ionic bond with the carboxylate group of arachidonate and that this interaction is an important contributor to the overall strength of arachidonate binding to PGHS-1. In contrast, we report here that R120Q human PGHS-2 (hPGHS-2) and native hPGHS-2 have very similar kinetic properties, but R120L hPGHS-2 catalyzes the oxygenation of arachidonate inefficiently. Our data indicate that the guanido group of Arg-120 of hPGHS-2 interacts with arachidonate through a hydrogen bond rather than an ionic bond and that this interaction is much less important for arachidonate binding to PGHS-2 than to PGHS-1. The Km values of PGHS-1 and -2 for arachidonate are the same, and all but one of the core residues of the active sites of the two isozymes are identical. Thus, the results of our studies of Arg-120 of PGHS-1 and -2 imply that interactions involved in the binding of arachidonate to PGHS-1 and -2 are quite different and that residues within the hydrophobic cyclooxygenase channel must contribute more significantly to arachidonate binding to PGHS-2 than to PGHS-1. As observed previously with R120Q PGHS-1, flurbiprofen was an ineffective inhibitor of R120Q hPGHS-2. PGHS-2-specific inhibitors including NS398, DuP-697, and SC58125 had IC50 values for the R120Q mutant that were up to 1,000-fold less than those observed for native hPGHS-2; thus, the positively charged guanido group of Arg-120 interferes with the binding of these compounds. NS398 did not cause time-dependent inhibition of R120Q hPGHS-2, whereas DuP-697 and SC58125 were time-dependent inhibitors. Thus, Arg-120 is important for the time-dependent inhibition of hPGHS-2 by NS398 but not by DuP-697 or SC58125. 相似文献

Prostaglandin H synthase is a key enzyme in the formation of prostaglandins and thromboxane from arachidonic acid. The recent cloning of a second prostaglandin H synthase gene, prostaglandin H synthase-2, which is distinct from the classic prostaglandin H synthase-1 gene, may dramatically alter our concept of how cells regulate prostanoid formation. We have recently shown that the enhanced production of prostanoids by lipopolysaccharide-primed alveolar macrophages involves the induction of a novel prostaglandin H synthase (J. Biol. Chem., (1992), 267, 14547-14550). We report here that the novel PGH synthase induced by lipopolysaccharide in alveolar macrophages is prostaglandin H synthase-2. 相似文献

Biosynthesis of prostanoid lipid signaling agents from arachidonic acid begins with prostaglandin H synthase (PGHS), a hemoprotein in the myeloperoxidase family. Vertebrates from humans to fish have two principal isoforms of PGHS, termed PGHS-1 and-2. These two isoforms are structurally quite similar, but they have very different pathophysiological roles and are regulated very differently at the level of catalysis. The focus of this review is on the structural and biochemical distinctions between PGHS-1 and-2, and how these differences relate to the functional divergence between the two isoforms. 相似文献

In platelets, PGHS-1-dependant formation of thromboxane A2 is an important modulator of platelet function and a target for pharmacological inhibition of platelet function by aspirin.
Since platelets are anucleated cells, we have used the immortalized human megakaryoblastic cell line MEG-01, which can be
induced to differentiate into platelet-like structures upon addition of TPA as a model system to study PGHS-1 gene expression.
Using a specific antibody to PGHS-1 we have developed a technique using immunofluorescence microscopy and analysis of multiple
digital images to monitor PGHS-1 protein expression as MEG-01 cells were induced to differentiate by a single addition of
TPA (1.6 × 10−8 M) over a period of 8 days. The method represents a rapid and economical alternative to flow cytometry. Using this technique
we observed that TPA induced adherence of MEG-01 cells, and only the non-adherent TPA-stimulated cells demonstrated compromised
viability. The differentiation of MEG-01 cells was evaluated by the expression of the platelet-specific cell surface antigen,
CD-41. The latter was expressed in MEG-01 cells at the later stages of differentiation. We demonstrated a good correlation
between PGHS-1 expression and the overall level of cellular differentiation of MEG-01 cells. Furthermore, PGHS-1 protein expression,
which shows a consistent increase over the entire course of differentiation can be used as an additional and better index
by which to monitor megakaryocyte differentiation.

The antiinflammatory agent darbufelone, ((Z)-5-[[3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl] methylene]-2-imino-4-thiazolidinone, methanesulfonate salt), was discovered as a dual inhibitor of cellular prostaglandin and leukotriene production. To study the mechanism of action of this drug, we expressed human prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase-1 (PGHS-1) and PGHS-2 and purified the recombinant enzymes using buffers that contain octylglucoside. In cyclooxygenase assays following a 15-min incubation of enzyme with inhibitor, darbufelone potently inhibits PGHS-2 (IC(50) = 0.19 microM) but is much less potent with PGHS-1 (IC(50) = 20 microM). Interestingly, when the assay buffer contains traces of Tween 20 (0.0001%), darbufelone appears inactive with PGHS-2 due to a detergent interaction that is detectable by absorption spectroscopy. We therefore used octylglucoside, which does not affect darbufelone in this way, in place of Tween 20 in our PGHS buffers. Inhibition of PGHS-2 with darbufelone is time dependent: with no preincubation, darbufelone is a weak inhibitor (IC(50) = 14 microM), but after a 30-min incubation it is 20-fold more potent. Plots of PGHS-2 activity vs preincubation time at various darbufelone concentrations reach a plateau. This finding is inconsistent with irreversible or one-step slow-binding inhibition. A two-step slow-binding inhibition model is proposed in which the E.I complex (K(i) = 6.2 +/- 1.9 to 14 +/- 1 microM) slowly transforms (k(5) = 0.015-0.030 s(-)(1)) to a tightly bound E.I form with K(i) = 0.63 +/- 0.07 microM and k(6) = 0.0034 s(-)(1). In steady-state kinetics inhibition experiments performed with no preincubation, we find that darbufelone is a noncompetitive inhibitor of PGHS-2 (K(i) = 10 +/- 5 microM). Darbufelone quenches the fluorescence of PGHS-2 at 325 nm (lambda(ex) = 280 nm) with K(d) = 0.98 +/- 0.03 microM. The PGHS substrate, arachidonate, and various cyclooxygenase inhibitors do not alter this binding affinity of darbufelone but a structural analogue of darbufelone competes directly for binding to PGHS-2. Di-tert-butyl phenols such as darbufelone may inhibit PGHS-2 by exploiting a previously unrecognized binding site on the enzyme. 相似文献
