A steady-state competition system has been developed to investigate the reactions of the superoxide radical anion () with various peroxides, including the so-called Haber-Weiss reaction. Potassium superoxide dissolved in an oxygen-free solution of DMSO containing 18-dicyclohexyl-6-crown, is the source of . High pressure liquid chromatography is used as an assay system for reactivity, to detect and quantitate the yield of anthracene, formed as a major product in the reaction between and 9,10-dihydroanthrancene. Decrease in anthracene yields, in the presence of peroxide, may be used to indicate a possible competing reaction between and added peroxide. Complications involving peroxide-stimulated formation of anthraquinone derivatives are discussed. No evidence for a competing reaction between and peroxide can be detected up to a 10-fold excess of peroxide over 9,10-dihydroanthracene. 相似文献

The oxidation of unsaturated fatty acid micelles by the superoxide free radical (), during γ irradiation in the presence of formate, is kinetically distinct from oxidation by hydroxyl free radicals (HO.). The evidence suggests that a direct reaction between () and lipid hydroperoxide initiates a chain oxidation process in the micelles. While tetranitromethane, which reacts rapidly with (), protects the micelles from oxidation, active superoxide dismutase is no more effective than its apoprotein, due to lack of penetration of the micellar environment. We discuss these findings in the light of recent literature, and with reference to their possible significance for biological systems. 相似文献

The mechanism of the reaction of bis-(salicylato)-copper(II) with superoxide anion has been studied by utilizing electron paramagnetic resonance and polarographic techniques. The proposed reaction sequence is as follows: Using the xanthine-xanthine oxidase system as a superoxide generator, it was found that the concentration of this copper complex for 50% inhibition of the xanthine-cytochrome c reductase activity was about 1000 times more per mole of copper than that of erythrocyte superoxide dismutase. 相似文献

1. Formate inhibits cytochrome oxidase activity both in intact mitochondria and submitochondrial particles, and in isolated cytochrome . The inhibition increases with decreasing pH, indicating that HCOOH may be the inhibitory species.2. Formate induces a blue shift in the absorption spectrum of oxidized cytochrome ) and in the half-reduced species (). Comparison with cyanide-induced spectral shifts, towards the red, indicates that formate and cyanide have opposite effects on the spectrum, both in the fully oxidized and the half-reduced states. The formate spectra provide a new method of obtaining the difference spectrum of minus , free of the difficulties with cyanide (which induces marked high → low spin spectral shifts in cytochrome ) and azide (which induces peak shifts of cytochrome towards the blue in both α- and Soret regions).3. The rate of formate dissociation from cytochrome is faster than its rate of dissociation from , especially in the presence of cytochrome . The for formate inhibition of respiration is a function of the reduction state of the system, varying from 30 mM (100% reduction) to 1 mM (100% oxidation) at pH 7.4, 30 °C.4. Succinate-cytochrome reductase activity is also inhibited by formate, in a reaction competitive with succinate and dependent on [formate]2.5. Formate inhibition of ascorbate plus oxidation by intact rat liver mitochondria is partially released by uncoupler addition. Formate is permeable through the inner mitochondrial membrane and no differences in ‘on’ or ‘off’ inhibition rates were observed when intact mitochondria were compared with submitochondrial particles.6. NADH-cytochrome reductase activity is unaffected by formate in submitochondrial particles, but mitochondrial oxidation of glutamate plus malate is subject both to terminal inhibition at the cytochrome level and to a slow extra inhibition by formate following uncoupler addition, indicating a third site of formate action in the intact mitochondrion. 相似文献

Interaction of lymphocytes and macrophage cell line cells (M1 cells). I. Functional maturation and appearance of Fc receptors im M1 cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
M1 cells, which are cell line cells established from myeloid leukemia cells of the SL strain mouse, can differentiate from blast cells () to mature macrophages () within 48 hr, when they are cultured with conditioned medium (CM) obtained from murine embryonic fibroblasts. While cells have no phagocytic activity nor Fc receptor (FcR), cells possess both characteristics. The appearance of FcR is temperature-dependent and inhibited by a metabolic inhibitor, cycloheximide. FcR on cells is resistant to trypsin and pronase. cells improve the viability of macrophage-depleted SL splenic lymphocytes and restore the in vitro secondary plaque forming cell response of macrophage-depleted spleen cells to particulate and soluble antigens. cells lack this macrophage-substituting capacity. Mm1 cells, mutant cells from M1 cells, having FcR and higher phagocytic activity than cells, are also devoid of this capacity. 相似文献

In many instances the effect of superoxide () trapping agents in suppressing the net rate of O2 consumption of activated PMN's is not in accordance with theoretical expectations. We offer here an alternate explanation to those previously presented by Segal and Meshulam (FEBS Letters 100, 27–32) and Babior (Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm. 91, 222–226). The paradoxical results previously presented can be explained by recognizing that shortly after activation of resting cells an O2 diffusion layer is established at or near the outer surface of these cells. The presence of this diffusion layer can markedly alter the anticipated stochiometric relationship between trapped and apparent O2 consumed by these cells when they are exposed to trapping agents. 相似文献

Four superoxide dismutase active copper chelates, Cu(acetylsalicylate)2, Cu(salicylate)2, Cu(lysine)2 and Cu(tyrosine)2, proved to be inhibitors of prolyl and lysyl hydroxylase. The kinetics of the inhibition are consistent with the proposal that these compounds dismutated at the active site of the enzymes. The data strongly suggest that is the active form of O2 in the prolyl and lysyl hydroxylase reactions. 相似文献

The distribution of activity was studied in cell fractions prepared from homogenates of rat liver. The level of mitochondrial contamination in the microsomal fraction depended on the fractionation procedure and on the method of homogenization. With proper care, microsomes with undetectable mitochondrial contamination could be prepared. These microsomes had no detectable activity. Approximately 85 % of the total activity of the post 6000 x g · min supernatant was recovered in the mitochondrialfraction. The properties of this mitochondrial were not distinguishable from those of the various microsomal previously described by other investigators. 相似文献

The kinetics of isotopic Na+ flows was studied in urinary bladders of toads from the Dominican Republic. Initial studies of the potential dependence of passive serosal to mucosal 22Na+ efflux demonstrated the absence of isotope interaction and/or other coupling with passive Na+ flow. The electrical current and mucosal to serosal 22Na+ influx were then measured with transmembrane potential clamped at . Subsequent elimination of active Na+ transport mucosal amiloride permitted calculation of the rates of active Na+ transport and active and passive influx and and . The results indicate that for Dominican toad bladders mounted in chambers only Na+ contributes significantly to transepithelial active ion transport; hence . was abolished at . As Δψ approached , active efflux became demonstrable. At exceeded , so that was negative. Experimental values of agreed well with theoretical values predicted by a thermodynamic formulation: .

Half hemocyanin is shown to undergo a unique change at the Cu(II)?Cu(I) active site with temperature, exhibiting class II mixed valent properties at low temperature (The appearance of an intense near IR intervalence-transfer transition and a delocalized EPR spectrum). This requires a Cu(II)NNNCu(I) bridging geometry. The effects of CO coordination to half , combined with the presence of a low energy charge transfer transition, demonstrate that azide is also bridging at room temperature. Finally, half is found to be capable of coordination of a second at the copper(II) site. 相似文献

A comparison between inosine- and guanosine-containing anticodons in ribosome-free codon-anticodon binding 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Binding of the ribooligomers, AUC, AUU, AUA, AUCA, AUUA, and AUAA to the isoleucine-accepting tRNAs, tRNA (anticodon, -IAU-) and tRNA (anticodon, -GAU-) was measured by equilibrium dialysis. With the aid of Scatchard plots, AUCA was shown to bind to one site per tRNA molecule, presumably the anticodon. AUA and AUAA did not measurably attach to either anticodon in the ribosome-free system. All other oligomers were bound to tRNA about 5 to 13 times stronger than to tRNA. 相似文献

10?5 M cyclic AMP has high permeability in human erythrocyte ghosts (). Saturation of influx and efflux occurs. . . . at 30°C. Equilibrium exchange entry of cyclic AMP has similar kinetics to zero trans influx, though the system does show counterflow. Cythochalasin B is an apparent competitive inhibitor of cyclic AMP exit. ().Control experiments indicated that cyclic AMP remains intact during incubation with red blood cell ghosts and is contained within the intravesicular space during the transport experiments. 相似文献

[] Phosphatidylcholines are introduced into the outer monolayer of phosphatidylcholine vesicles with the phosphatidylcholine exchange protein from bovine liver. The transbilayer distribution of the [] phosphatidylcholine is measured with 13C NMR. The transbilayer movements of phosphatidylcholine and [] dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine at 30°C in vesicles composed of these phosphatidylcholines are extremely slow processes with estimated half-times of days. [] Dioleoyl phosphatidylcholine introduced into dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine vesicles migrates from the outer to the inner monolayer with a half-time of less than 12 h. The data suggest that differential changes in the lateral packing of the two monolayers might be a driving force for transbilayer transport of phospholipids. 相似文献

In order to test the question if a pool of lipophilic ions may exist in black lipid membranes which cannot be detected by electrical relaxation measurements we have performed simultaneously measurements of the optical absorption of a lipophilic ion. The absorbance of membrane-bound dipicrylamine at 410 nm was measured with a sensitive spectrophotometer which can detect absorbance changes . A minimal concentration of about 6 · 1011 dipicrylamine ions per cm2 of the membrane could be detected with this instrument. The dipicrylamine concentration in the membrane obtained with the optical method is compared with the concentrations obtained from simultaneous electrical relaxation measurements. and agreed at low dipicrylamine concentrations (10?8–10?7 M in the aqueous phase) and showed saturation at higher concentrations (up to 5 · 10?6 M). In the saturation range was maximally four times higher than . The significance of this difference is discussed together with general aspects of the saturation phenomenon. 相似文献

Na+, K+ and Cl? concentrations () and activities (), and mucosal membrane potentials () were measured in epithelial cells of isolated bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) small intestine. Segments of intestine were stripped of their external muscle layers, and bathed (at 25°C and pH 7.2) in oxygenated Ringer solutions containing 105 mM Na+ and Cl? and 5.4 mM K+. Na+ and K+ concentrations were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry and Cl? concentrations by conductometric titration following extraction of the dried tissue with 0.1 M HNO3. 14C-labelled inulin was used to determine extracellular volume. was measured with conventional open tip microelectrodes, with solid-state Cl?-selective silver microelectrodes and and with Na+- and K+-selective liquid ion-exchanger microelectrodes. The average recorded was ?34 mV. , and were 51, 105 and 52 mM. The corresponding values for , and were 18, 80 and 33 mM. These results suggest that a large fraction of the cytoplasmic Na+ is ‘bound’ or sequestered in an osmotically inactive form, that all, or virtually all the cytoplasmic K+ behaves as if in free solution, and that there is probably some binding of cytoplasmic Cl?. significantly exceeds the level corresponding to electrochemical equilibrium across the mucosal and baso-lateral cell membranes. Earlier studies showed that coupled mucosal entry of Na+ and Cl? is implicated in intracellular Cl? accumulation in this tissue. This study permitted estimation of the steady-state transapical Na+ and Cl? electrochemical potential differences (Δμ̄Na and Δμ̄Cl). Δμ̄Na (?7000 J · mol?1; cell minus mucosal medium) was energetically more than sufficient to account for Δμ̄Cl (1000–2000 J · mol?1). 相似文献

Nitrogenase activity in agar cultures of cowpea rhizobia, strain 32H1, was rapidly inhibited by but this was relieved by increased O2 tension. Inhibition was more rapid than that caused by inhibitors of protein synthesis and was not relieved by methionine sulfoximine or methionine sulfone. Under conditions were nitrogenase activity was inhibited by , glutamine synthetase and glutamate synthase were substantially unaffected. Glutamate dehydrogenase was undetected in either nitrogenase active or inhibited cultures. These results indicate that inhibition of nitrogenase activity in strain 32H1 is not effected through glutamine synthetase regulation of nitrogenase synthesis. 相似文献

We have measured the contribution of the reduced form of bovine superoxide dismutase to the relaxation of the 35Cl nucleus of chloride ion. The reduced protein has a molar relaxivity approximately 2.5 greater than the metal free protein, and addition of a small excess of cyanide lowers the relaxivity of the reduced protein to that of the apo-protein. We have interpreted these observations in terms of an open coordination position on one of the two metal ions, and we have proposed a mechanism for the reduction of superoxide by reduced superoxide dismutase which requires that binds to Cu+ prior to electron transfer. 相似文献

Commercial [5-14C]mevalonate is shown to contain several radioactive impurities, which give artifactually high amounts of Hyamine bound, volatile acidic radioactivity when incubated with killed or living rat renal cortex slices, as compared with [5-14C]mevalonate purified either by liquid-liquid partition chromatography or through the enzymically generated by ion-exchange chromatography. The artifactual results were not diluted by incubation with increasing amounts of unlabelled mevalonate, whereas the and []cholesterol produced by rat renal cortex slices incubated with purified [5-14C]mevalonate were both diluted to the same extent by unlabelled mevalonate. It is concluded that is genuinely oxidized to , and that purification of substrate before its use is necessary. Production of and various []lipids from purified [5-14C]mevalonate, as a function of time and substrate concentration, by renal cortex and liver slices, is described. 相似文献

In an accompanying publication by Duckwitz-Peterlein, Eilenberger and Overath ((1977) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 469, 311–325) it is shown that the exchange of lipid molecules between negatively charged vesicles consisting of total phospholipid extracts from Escherichia coli occurs by the transfer of single lipid monomers or small micelles through the water. Here a kinetic interpretation is presented in terms of a rate constant, , for the escape of lipid molecules from the vesicle bilayer into the water. The evaluated rate constants are and for phospholipid molecules with and , respectively, as the predominant acyl chain component. The rate constants are discussed in terms of the acyl chain and polar head group composition of the lipids. 相似文献
