Cytochrome c is transformed from anti- to pro-oxidant when interacting with truncated oncoprotein prothymosin alpha 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Markova OV Evstafieva AG Mansurova SE Moussine SS Palamarchuk LA Pereverzev MO Vartapetian AB Skulachev VP 《Biochimica et biophysica acta》2003,1557(1-3):109-117
Many apoptotic signals are known to induce release to cytosol of cytochrome c, a small mitochondrial protein with positively charged amino acid residues dominating over negatively charged ones. On the other hand, in this group, it was shown that prothymosin alpha (PT), a small nuclear protein where 53 of 109 amino acid residues are negatively charged, is truncated to form a protein of 99 amino acid residues which accumulates in cytosol during apoptosis [FEBS Lett. 467 (2000) 150]. It was suggested that positively charged cytochrome c and negatively charged truncated prothymosin alpha (tPT), when meeting in cytosol, can interact with each other. In this paper, such an interaction is shown. (1) Formation of cytochrome cz.ccirf;tPT complex is demonstrated by a blot-overlay assay. (2) Analytical centrifugation of solution containing cytochrome c and tPT reveals formation of complexes of molecular masses higher than those of these proteins. The masses increase when the cytochrome c/tPT ratio increases. High concentration of KCl prevents the complex formation. (3) In the complexes formed, cytochrome c becomes autoxidizable; its reduction by superoxide or ascorbate as well as its operation as electron carrier between the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes appear to be inhibited. (4) tPT inhibits cytochrome c oxidation by H(2)O(2), catalyzed by peroxidase. Thus, tPT abolishes all antioxidant functions of cytochrome c which, in the presence of tPT, becomes in fact a pro-oxidant. A possible role of tPT in the development of reactive oxygen species- and cytochrome c-mediated apoptosis is discussed. 相似文献

A comparative analysis of the ability of 4-(1-methyl-3-hydroxybutyl)-deuteroporphyrin-IX (I) and 2,4-di-(1-methyl-3-hydroxybutyl)-deuteroporphyrin-IX (II) to photosensitize hemolysis of human erythrocytes was performed. The photohemolytic efficiency of dye I was shown to be about 60 times higher than that of dye II. It was found that a part of each dye tightly binds to erythrocyte membranes and is not removed by washing. A method for estimating the share of the dye tightly bound to the membrane (beta) was proposed, which takes into account the shielding effect produced by the free dye and the photohemolytic efficiency of the bound dye. It was shown that the beta values for dyes I and II are 86 and 61% and correlate with the coefficients of distribution of the dyes in the octanol/water system (20.7 and 17.0, respectively). 相似文献

It was demonstrated previously that mitochondria of higher and lower eukaryotes can synthesize, in the course of oxidative phosphorylation, not only ATP but also inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi). Two PPases were isolated from bovine heart mitochondria (soluble--PPase I and membrane--PPase II). Coupling PPase II, in contrast to PPase I, contains phosphatidyl choline, but PPase I is lipidized readily in the presence of different phospholipids. Reconstitution experiments of the PPi synthesis system have shown that after lipidization PPase I is able to incorporate into submitochondrial particles (SMP) and becomes a coupling factor for oxidation and PPi synthesis. It seems that phospholipid is indispensible for incorporation into the membrane and the manifestation of the coupling activity of the enzyme. The effect of lipids on the activity of soluble and membrane-bound pyrophosphatase was studied. It is shown that PPase II phospholipid is involved in the regulation of the hydrolase activity of the isolated enzyme. However, hydrolysis of PPi by SMP and its synthesis by mitochondria are affected by cooperative rearrangements of the entire lipid component of the membrane rather than by changes in the phase state of phosphatidyl choline contained in PPase II. An opposite response of ATP and PPi synthesis to changes in viscosity makes it likely that the viscosity of the mitochondrial inner membrane may control the levelling of these two processes in mitochondria. 相似文献

Accumulation of pyrophosphate and other energy-rich phosphorus compounds under various conditions of yeast growth 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

In the cells of hybrid yeast strain Saccharomyces N.C.Y.C. 644 SU3 (Karlsberg collection), a large amount of pyrophosphate (30–300 mol/g of dry weight) accumulates whatever the aeration conditions and the content of glucose in the medium. The content of pyrophosphate is 10–1000 times higher than that of ATP. At the early and mid-exponential growth phases two maxima of pyrophosphate accumulation are observable. The periods of maximal pyrophosphate accumulation in yeast coincide with those of the minimal content of polymeric acid-soluble polyphosphates and intense budding. In the light of the data obtained, the question is discussed as to the relationship between the metabolism of pyrophosphates and acid-soluble polyphosphates in yeast. 相似文献

The present investigation has revealed that in mice, immunized with preparation HC-4 (an immunostimulating agent consisting of water-soluble antigenic complexes obtained from 4 opportunistic microorganisms: Klebsiella pneumoniae, staphylococcus, Proteus and Escherichia coli K-100 having a common antigen with Haemophilus influenzae) and challenged with K. pneumoniae culture on day 7 after immunization, the complete elimination of K. pneumoniae from the blood occurs within 24 hours. The subcutaneous immunization of rabbits with the above preparation leads to a significant increase in antibody titers, determined in the passive hemagglutination test with Klebsiella diagnosticum. The test of the passive protection of mice from Klebsiella sepsis has revealed a rise in the preventive activity of the sera of rabbits immunized with this preparation. 相似文献

The effect of respiration rate on the content and accumulation of ATP and PPi in rat liver mitochondria was studied. It was found that the syntheses of ATP and PPi occur at different respiration rates. It was assumed that the respiration rate can determined the formation of ATP or PPi via oxidative phosphorylation. A possible mechanism of this effect is discussed. 相似文献

A sensitive colorimetric method for the assay of inorganic pyrophosphate with excess of orthophosphate is described. The principle of this method lies in the formation of phosphomolybdate and PPi-molybdate complexes with subsequent extraction of the phosphomolybdate complex by organic solvents and reduction of the PPi-molybdate complex by dithiothreitol and Eikonogen. The sensitivity of the method was from 5 to 120 nmol of PPi in a 2.0-ml sample. 相似文献
