Abstract
Nickel allergy clearly involves the activation of HLA-restricted, skin-homing, Ni-specific T cells by professional APCs. Nevertheless, knowledge concerning the molecular details of metal-protein interactions underlying the transport and delivery of metal ions to APC during the early sensitization phase and their interactions with HLA and TCRs is still fragmentary. This study investigates the role of human serum albumin (HSA), a known shuttling molecule for Ni(2+) and an often-disregarded, major component of skin, in these processes. We show that Ni-saturated HSA complexes (HSA-Ni) induce and activate Ni-specific human T cells as potently as Ni salt solutions when present at equimolar concentrations classically used for in vitro T cell stimulation. However, neither HSA itself nor its Ni-binding N-terminal peptide are involved in determining the specificity of antigenic determinants. In fact, HSA could be replaced by xenogeneic albumins exhibiting sufficient affinity for Ni(2+) as determined by surface plasmon resonance (Biacore technology) or atomic absorption spectroscopy. Moreover, despite rapid internalization of HSA-Ni by APC, it was not processed into HLA-associated epitopes recognizable by Ni-specific T cells. In contrast, the presence of HSA-Ni in the vicinity of transient contacts between TCR and APC-exposed HLA molecules appeared to facilitate a specific transfer of Ni(2+) from HSA to high-affinity coordination sites created at the TCR/HLA-interface.

Abstract
Many biological processes are mediated by surface recognition between proteins. Small molecules that recognize and bind a specific region of a protein surface may be promising agents for disrupting certain protein-protein surface interactions, which consequently leads to regulation of cellar functions. This article describes our recent efforts toward the development of the designed small molecules, which can recognize histidine or phosphorylated amino acid residues on peptide surfaces in a sequence-selective manner. These results demonstrate that cooperative metal-ligand interaction is powerful for tight and selective binding to the specific amino acid residues of proteins in aqueous medium.

Abstract
The reactions of a few representative gold(III) complexes -[Au(ethylenediamine)2]Cl3, [Au(diethylentriamine)Cl]Cl2, [Au(1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane)](ClO4)2Cl, [Au(2,2',2'-terpyridine)Cl]Cl2, [Au(2,2'-bipyridine)(OH)2][PF6] and the organometallic compound [Au(6-(1,1-dimethylbenzyl)-2,2'-bipyridine-H)(OH)][PF6]- with BSA were investigated by the joint use of various spectroscopic methods and separation techniques. Weak metal-protein interactions were revealed for the [Au(ethylenediamine)2]3+ and [Au(1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane)]3+ species, whereas progressive reduction of the gold(III) centre was observed in the cases of [Au(2,2'-bipyridine)(OH)2]+ and [Au(2,2',2'-terpyridine)Cl]2+. In contrast, tight metal-protein adducts are formed when BSA is reacted with either [Au(diethylentriamine)Cl]2+ and [Au(6-(1,1-dimethylbenzyl)-2,2'-bipyridine-H)(OH)]+. Notably, binding of the latter complex to serum albumin results in the appearance of characteristic CD bands in the visible spectrum. It is suggested that adduct formation for both of these gold(III) complexes occurs through coordination at the level of surface histidines. Stability of these gold(III) complexes/serum albumin adducts was tested under physiologically relevant conditions and found to be appreciable. Metal binding to the protein is tight; complete detachment of the metal from the protein has been achieved only after the addition of excess potassium cyanide. The implications of the present results for the pharmacological activity of these novel cytotoxic agents are discussed.

Abstract
Excess copper is effluxed from mammalian cells by the Menkes or Wilson P-type ATPases (MNK and WND, respectively). MNK and WND have six metal binding sites (MBSs) containing a CXXC motif within their N-terminal cytoplasmic region. Evidence suggests that copper is delivered to the ATPases by Atox1, one of three cytoplasmic copper chaperones. Attempts to monitor a direct Atox1-MNK interaction and to determine kinetic parameters have not been successful. Here we investigated interactions of Atox1 with wild-type and mutated pairs of the MBSs of MNK using two different methods: yeast two-hybrid analysis and real-time surface plasmon resonance (SPR). A copper-dependent interaction of Atox1 with the MBSs of MNK was observed by both approaches. Cys to Ser mutations of conserved CXXC motifs affected the binding of Atox1 underlining the essentiality of Cys residues for the copper-induced interaction. Although the yeast two-hybrid assay failed to show an interaction of Atox1 with MBS5/6, SPR analysis clearly demonstrated a copper-dependent binding with all six MBSs highlighting the power and sensitivity of SPR as compared with other, more indirect methods like the yeast two-hybrid system. Binding constants for copper-dependent chaperone-MBS interactions were determined to be 10-5-10-6 m for all the MBSs representing relatively low affinity binding events. The interaction of Atox1 with pairs of the MBSs was non-cooperative. Therefore, a functional difference of the MBSs in the MNK N terminus cannot be attributed to cooperativity effects or varying affinities of the copper chaperone Atox1 with the MBSs.

Abstract
Albumin is the major transport protein in blood for Zn(2+), a metal ion required for physiological processes and recruited by various drugs and toxins. However, the Zn(2+)-binding site(s) on albumin is ill-defined. We have analyzed the 18 x-ray crystal structures of human albumin in the PDB and identified a potential five-coordinate Zn site at the interface of domains I and II consisting of N ligands from His-67 and His-247 and O ligands from Asn-99, Asp-249, and H(2)O, which are the same amino acid ligands as those in the zinc enzymes calcineurin, endonucleotidase, and purple acid phosphatase. The site is preformed in unliganded apo-albumin and highly conserved in mammalian albumins. We have used (111)Cd NMR as a probe for Zn(2+) binding to recombinant human albumin. We show that His-67 --> Ala (His67Ala) mutation strongly perturbs Cd(2+) binding, whereas the mutations Cys34Ala, or His39Leu and Tyr84Phe (residues which may H-bond to Cys-34) have no effect. Weak Cl(-) binding to the fifth coordination site of Cd(2+) was demonstrated. Cd(2+) binding was dramatically affected by high fatty acid loading of albumin. Analysis of the x-ray structures suggests that fatty acid binding to site 2 triggers a spring-lock mechanism, which disengages the upper (His-67Asn-99) and lower (His-247Asp-249) halves of the metal site. These findings provide a possible mechanism whereby fatty acids (and perhaps other small molecules) could influence the transport and delivery of zinc in blood.

Abstract
Accumulation of carboxymethylated proteins (CML-proteins) is taken as a biomarker of glycoxidative stress which is thought to contribute to the age-related impairment in tissue and cell function. To investigate the occurrence and extent of glycoxidative damage with aging in rat kidney, serum and urine, we have prepared a polyclonal antibody against CML-modified bovine serum albumin. We subsequently used it for immunolocalization and in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays to evaluate CML-protein content. In the serum, CML-protein level was 1.43+/-0.14 pmol CML/micrograms protein at 3 months and significantly increased by 50% from 10 to 27 months (1.50+/-0.14 pmol CML/micrograms protein vs 2.27+/-0.26 pmol CML/micrograms protein), albumin and transferrin being the main modified proteins. In the urine, CML-protein level was 2.50+/-0.14 pmol CML/micrograms protein at 3 months and markedly increased from 10 months (2.99+/-0.24 pmol CML/micrograms protein) to 27 months (3.76+/-0.25 pmol CML/micrograms protein), with albumin as the main excreted modified protein. Immunolocalization of CML-proteins in kidney provided evidence for an age-dependent increased accumulation in extracellular matrices. Intense staining of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM), Bowman's capsule, and the tubular basement membrane was found. Additionally, the CML content for collagen from GBM was 195.85+/-28.95 pmol CML/microgrms OHPro at 3 months and significantly increased from 10 months (187.61+/-21.99 pmol CML/micrograms OHPro) to 27 months (334.55+/-62.21 pmol CML/micrograms OHPro). These data show that circulating CML-protein level in serum and urine and CML accumulation in nephron extracellular matrices with aging are increasing in parallel. The CML-protein measurement in serum and urine may thus be used as an index for the assessment of age-associated glycoxidative kidney damage.

Abstract
A copper(II) complex of 2, 6-bis(benzimidazo-2-yl) pyridine was synthesized and its binding properties with bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been evaluated. The binding plot obtained from the absorption titration data gives a binding constant of 2.4 (+/-0.3) x10(3) M(-1). It was found that the charge transfer band of the metal complex was perturbed in the presence of BSA. The gel electrophoresis pattern of BSA incubated with copper(II) complex shows the metalloproteolytic activity of the metal complex. In the presence of oxygen, protein undergoes site-specific cleavage by binding to the histidine residues of domain III, with the resultant formation of four fragments of molecular weight 49, 45, 22 and 17 kDa. This indicates the presence of two specific binding sites in the protein molecule. In the absence of molecular oxygen, the metal complex was found unable to cleave the protein. The circular dichroism (CD) spectrum of the isolated fragments shows nearly 38% and 32% of alpha helical content in 49 and 45 kDa fragments, respectively, which shows that the cleavage leads to no changes in the secondary structure of the protein fragments.

Abstract
A comparative study of thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of Cu(II) and Ni(II) binding at the N-terminal binding site of human and bovine serum albumins (HSA and BSA, respectively) and short peptide analogues was performed using potentiometry and spectroscopic techniques. It was found that while qualitative aspects of interaction (spectra and structures of complexes, order of reactions) could be reproduced, the quantitative parameters (stability and rate constants) could not. The N-terminal site in HSA is much more similar to BSA than to short peptides reproducing the HSA sequence. A very strong influence of phosphate ions on the kinetics of Ni(II) interaction was found. This study demonstrates the limitations of short peptide modelling of Cu(II) and Ni(II) transport by albumins.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine (1) whether oxidative damage to plasma proteins in mice and rats, accrued during aging and manifested as carbonyl modifications, was selective or random, and (2) whether the putative carbonylated proteins could be used as markers of oxidative stress and aging. The total protein carbonyl content of the plasma significantly increased with age in mice but not in rats. Immunostaining of mouse plasma proteins, resolved by SDS-PAGE to localize carbonyls, revealed that only two specific proteins exhibited an age-associated increase in carbonylation. These proteins with molecular weights of 68 and 75 kDa, were identified as albumin and transferrin, respectively. In the rat, albumin and a 167-kDa protein, alpha1-macroglobulin (alpha-1M), showed significant age-dependent accrual of carbonylation. In the plasma of middle age Rhesus monkeys, in addition to albumin, a 54-kDa protein showed carbonylation. However, neither transferrin nor alpha-1M were carbonylated in the plasma of Rhesus monkey. Albumin was the only protein that showed carbonylation in all the three species examined. Results of this study indicate that age-associated increase in protein carbonylation is a selective and not a random phenomenon. However, the set of proteins that become carbonylated differs in different species.

Abstract
The combination of potentiometric, spectrophotometric and CD spectroscopic studies under the same conditions is expected to yield more reliable thermodynamic and structural information for a certain system. The matrix rank analysis of both the spectrophotometric and CD spectra series gives the necessary number of species to be taken into account in the calculations. Based on such speciation diagrams the molar spectra for individual complexes in the copper(II) Gly-Gly-Ala, Gly-Ala-Gly, Ala-Gly-Gly and Ala-Ala-Ala systems were obtained. The results allowed us to assign these spectra to two types of coordination species with the compositions CuLH(-1) and [CuLH(-2)](-). The sign and the intensity of the CD spectra are well related to the chirality and distance of the chiral center(s) in the ligand from the metal ion chromophore and the stability of the metal complexes. They are further on additive within the experimental error in both cases with respect to chiral centers: the sum of the CD spectra of the Gly-Gly-Ala, Gly-Ala-Gly and Ala-Gly-Gly complexes equals those of Ala-Ala-Ala complexes. The CD spectra strongly support the coordination also of the C-terminal part of the peptide in the CuLH(-1) complex of GGA, and even the deprotonation of the Ala peptide group instead of that belonging to Gly cannot be excluded.

Abstract
D,L-Dithiothreitol (DTT), known also as Cleland reagent, is a thiol group protectant, used commonly in peptide and protein chemistry. Therefore, it is often added at high concentrations in preparations of proteins relevant to heavy metal biochemistry. The coordination of five of these metal ions, Zn(II), Cd(II), Pb(II), Ni(II) and Cu(I) to DTT was studied by means of potentiometric titrations, and UV-Vis and NMR spectroscopies. It was found that DTT forms specific and very stable polymeric and monomeric complexes with all of these metal ions, using both of its sulfur donors. The quantitative description of these complexes in solution and the solid state provides the basis for predictions of interference from DTT in studies of metal ion binding of thiol-containing biomolecules.

Abstract
There is a great deal of evidence to support a pathogenic role of oxidative stress in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the sources of reactive oxygen species have not been directly demonstrated. In this study, using a novel in situ detection system, we show that neurofibrillary tangles and senile plaques are major sites for catalytic redox reactivity. Pretreatment with deferoxamine or diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid abolishes the ability of the lesions to catalyze the H2O2-dependent oxidation of 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB), strongly suggesting the involvement of associated transition metal ions. Indeed, following chelated removal of metals, incubation with iron or copper salts reestablished lesion-dependent catalytic redox reactivity. Although DAB oxidation can also detect peroxidase activity, this was inactivated by H2O2 pretreatment before use of DAB, as shown by a specific peroxidase detection method. Model studies confirmed the ability of certain copper and iron coordination complexes to catalyze the H2O2-dependent oxidation of DAB. Also, the microtubule-associated protein tau, as an in vitro model for proteins relevant to AD pathology, was found capable of adventitious binding of copper and iron in a redox-competent manner. Our findings suggest that neurofibrillary tangles and senile plaques contain redox-active transition metals and may thereby exert prooxidant or possibly antioxidant activities, depending on the balance among cellular reductants and oxidants in the local microenvironment.

Abstract
The use of immobilized human serum albumin (HSA) as a stationary phase in affinity chromatography has been shown to be useful in resolving optical antipodes or to investigate interactions between drugs and protein. However, to our knowledge, no inorganic ion binding has been studied on this immobilized protein type. To do this, the human serum albumin stationary phase was assimilated to a weak cation-exchanger by working with a mobile phase pH equal to 6.5. A study of the eluent ionic strength effect on ion retention was carried out by varying the buffer concentrations and the column temperatures. The thermodynamic parameters for magnesium and calcium transfer from the mobile to the stationary phase were determined from linear van't Hoff plots. An enthalpy-entropy compensation study revealed that the type of interaction was independent of the mobile phase composition. A simple model based on the Gouy-Chapman theory was considered in order to describe the retention behavior of the test cations with the mobile phase ionic strength. From this theoretical approach, the relative charge densities of the human serum albumin surface implied in the binding process were estimated at different column temperatures.
