AbstractThe melatonin metabolite N1-acetyl-5-methoxykynuramine (AMK) has previously been shown to interact with various free radicals. Using the ABTS cation radical [ABTS = 2,2′-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)] as an electron abstracting reactant, which does not destroy the aromate, we found that the reactive intermediate derived from AMK strongly interacts with the benzene rings of other AMK molecules to form di- and oligomers. Since oligomerization is rather unlikely at physiological concentrations, we investigated reactions with other putative reaction partners. The incubation of tyrosine or several of its structural analogs with AMK in the presence of the ABTS cation radical led to numerous products, amongst which were compounds not detected when one of the educts was incubated with the ABTS cation radical alone. With tyrosine and most of its analogs, the number of products formed in the presence of AMK and ABTS cation radical was relatively high and included numerous oligomers. To optimize the yield of products of interest as well as their separation from other compounds, especially oligomers, we investigated the interaction with 4-ethylphenol, which represents the side chain of tyrosine lacking the carboxyl and amino residues of the amino acid, which otherwise can undergo additional reactions. A prominent product was chromatographically separated and analyzed by mass spectrometry [(+)-ESI-MS, (?)-ESI-MS, (+)-HRESI-MS], 1H-NMR, and H,H-COSY correlations. The substance was identified as N-{3-[2′-(5″-ethyl-2″-hydroxyphenylamino)-5′-methoxyphenyl]-3-oxopropyl} acetamide. This chemically novel compound represents an adduct in which the amino nitrogen of AMK is attached to the C-2 atom of 4-ethylphenol, which corresponds to the C-3 atom in the benzene ring of tyrosine. This finding suggests that, upon interaction of AMK with an electron-abstracting radical, the kynuric intermediate may modify proteins at superficially accessible tyrosine residues. In fact, protein modification by an unidentified melatonin metabolite has been observed in an earlier study. The possibility of protein AMKylation may be of interest with regard to an eventual interference with tyrosine nitration or, more importantly, with tyrosine phosphorylation. 相似文献

The αvβ3 integrin stimulates the resorptive capacity of the differentiated osteoclast (OC) by organizing its cytoskeleton via the tyrosine kinase, Syk. Thus, Syk‐deficient OCs fails to spread or form actin rings, in vitro and in vivo. The Syk family of tyrosine kinases consists of Syk itself and Zap70 which are expressed by different cell types. Because of their structural similarity, and its compensatory properties in other cells, we asked if Zap70 can substitute for absence of Syk in OCs. While expression of Syk, as expected, normalizes the cytoskeletal abnormalities of Syk?/? OCs, Zap70 fails do so. In keeping with this observation, Syk, but not Zap70, rescues αvβ3 integrin‐induced SLP76 phosphorylation in Syk?/? OCs. Furthermore the kinase sequence of Syk partially rescues the Syk?/? phenotype but full normalization also requires its SH2 domains. Surprisingly, expression of Zap70 inhibits WT OC spreading, actin ring formation and bone resorptive activity, but not differentiation. In keeping with arrested cytoskeletal organization, Zap70 blocks integrin‐activated endogenous Syk and Vav3, SLP76 phosphorylation. Such inhibition requires Zap70 kinase activity, as it is abolished by mutation of the Zap70 kinase domain. Thus, while the kinase domain of Syk is uniquely required for OC function that of Zap70 inhibits it. J. Cell. Biochem. 114: 1871–1878, 2013. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

AbstractCerebrotendinous xanthomatosis is an autosomal recessive disorder of bile acid synthesis, characterized by mutation in the mitochondrial enzyme 27-hydroxylase that leads to an accumulation of cholestanol and cholesterol. Characterized clinically by premature bilateral cataracts, slowly progressive neurological deterioration with dementia, cerebellar and brainstem signs, peripheral neuropathy, and seizures, the disease presents pathologically with lipid granulomata with foamy histiocytes and cholesterol clefts. Replacement therapy with chenodeoxycholic acid slows progression of the disease but does not reverse neurological deficits. Here, we present the case of a 49-year-old woman diagnosed at autopsy with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis, on the basis of bilateral Achilles tendon granulomas, and typical foamy histiocytic infiltration of the brain, most severe in the dentate nucleus, and a typical clinical presentation. To investigate the pathological manifestations of this disease further, we performed immunohistochemistry for N?-(carboxymethyl)-lysine, an indicator of oxidative damage, and found strong labeling of cytoplasmic material within histiocytes. In summary, this case of undiagnosed cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis during life emphasizes the need for a greater awareness of the disease, and early diagnosis and treatment. Further, the involvement of oxidative stress in cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis indicates that combined therapy with chenodeoxycholic acid and antioxidants may improve clinical outcome. 相似文献
