Structural and functional changes in RNAse A originating from tyrosine and histidine cross-linking and oxidation induced by singlet oxygen and peroxyl radicals. Free Radic Biol Med 2018; 126:73-86. [PMID: 30031072 DOI: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2018.07.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2018] [Revised: 07/12/2018] [Accepted: 07/16/2018] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Oxidation can be induced by multiple processes in biological samples, with proteins being important targets due to their high abundance and reactivity. Oxidant reactions with proteins are not comprehensively understood, but it is known that structural and functional changes may be a cause, or a consequence, of disease. The mechanisms of oxidation of the model protein RNAse A by singlet oxygen (1O2) were examined and compared to peroxyl radical (ROO•) oxidation, both common biological oxidants. This protein is a prototypic member of the RNAse family that exhibits antiviral activity by cleaving single-stranded RNA. RNAse A lacks tryptophan and cysteine residues which are major oxidant targets, but contains multiple histidine, tyrosine and methionine residues; these were therefore hypothesized to be the major sites of damage. 1O2 and ROO• induce different patterns and extents of damage; both induce cross-links and side-chain oxidation, and 1O2 exposure modulates enzymatic activity. Multiple products have been characterized including methionine sulfoxide and sulfone, alcohols, DOPA, 2-oxohistidine, histidine-derived ring-opened species and inter- and intra-molecular cross-links (di-tyrosine, histidine-lysine, histidine-arginine, tyrosine-lysine). In addition to methionine modification, which appears not to be causative to activity loss, singlet oxygen also induces alteration to specific histidine, tyrosine and proline residues, including modification and cross-linking of the active site histidine, His12. The high homology among the RNAse family suggests that similar modifications may occur in humans, and be associated with the increased risk of viral infections in people with diabetes, as markers for 1O2 have been found in early stages of this pathology.

Abstract
Protein oxidation is a frequent event as a result of the high abundance of proteins in biological samples and the multiple processes that generate oxidants. The reactions that occur are complex and poorly understood, but can generate major structural and functional changes on proteins. Current data indicate that pathophysiological processes and multiple human diseases are associated with the accumulation of damaged proteins. In this study we investigated the mechanisms and consequences of exposure of the key metabolic enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) to peroxyl radicals (ROO•) and singlet oxygen (1O2), with particular emphasis on the role of Trp and Tyr residues in protein cross-linking and fragmentation. Cross-links and high molecular mass aggregates were detected by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting using specific antibodies. Amino acid analysis has provided evidence for Trp and Tyr consumption and formation of oxygenated products (diols, peroxides, N-formylkynurenine, kynurenine) from Trp, and di-tyrosine (from Tyr). Mass spectrometric data obtained after trypsin-digestion in the presence of H216O and H218O, has allowed the mapping of specific cross-linked residues and their locations. These data indicate that specific Tyr-Trp and di-Tyr cross-links are formed from residues that are proximal and surface-accessible, and that the extent of Trp oxidation varies markedly between sites. Limited modification at other residues is also detected. These data indicate that Trp and Tyr residues are readily modified by ROO• and 1O2 with this giving products that impact significantly on protein structure and function. The formation of such cross-links may help rationalize the accumulation of damaged proteins in vivo.

Abstract
Buffers comprise an integral component of protein formulations. Not only do they function to regulate shifts in pH, they also can stabilize proteins by a variety of mechanisms. The ability of buffers to stabilize therapeutic proteins whether in liquid formulations, frozen solutions, or the solid state is highlighted in this review. Addition of buffers can result in increased conformational stability of proteins, whether by ligand binding or by an excluded solute mechanism. In addition, they can alter the colloidal stability of proteins and modulate interfacial damage. Buffers can also lead to destabilization of proteins, and the stability of buffers themselves is presented. Furthermore, the potential safety and toxicity issues of buffers are discussed, with a special emphasis on the influence of buffers on the perceived pain upon injection. Finally, the interaction of buffers with other excipients is examined.

Abstract
Cellular proteins are constantly damaged by reactive oxygen species generated by cellular respiration. Because of its metal-chelating property, the histidine residue is easily oxidized in the presence of Cu/Fe ions and H2O2 via metal-catalyzed oxidation, usually converted to 2-oxohistidine. We hypothesized that cells may have evolved antioxidant defenses against the generation of 2-oxohistidine residues on proteins, and therefore there would be cellular proteins which specifically interact with this oxidized side chain. Using two chemically synthesized peptide probes containing 2-oxohistidine, high-throughput interactome screening was conducted using the E. coli K12 proteome microarray containing >4200 proteins. Ten interacting proteins were identified, and successfully validated using a third peptide probe, fluorescence polarization assays, as well as binding constant measurements. We discovered that 9 out of 10 identified proteins seemed to be involved in redox-related cellular functions. We also built the functional interaction network to reveal their interacting proteins. The network showed that our interacting proteins were enriched in oxido-reduction processes, ion binding, and carbon metabolism. A consensus motif was identified among these 10 bacterial interacting proteins based on bioinformatic analysis, which also appeared to be present on human S100A1 protein. Besides, we found that the consensus binding motif among our identified proteins, including bacteria and human, were located within α-helices and faced the outside of proteins. The combination of chemically engineered peptide probes with proteome microarrays proves to be an efficient discovery platform for protein interactomes of unusual post-translational modifications, and sensitive enough to detect even the insertion of a single oxygen atom in this case.

Abstract
Detailed studies of the glutamine synthetase (GS) in Escherichia coli and other bacteria have shown that the activity of this enzyme is regulated by at least five different mechanisms: (i) cumulative feedback inhibition by multiple end products of glutamine metabolism, (ii) interconversion between taut and relaxed protein configurations in response to binding and dissociation of divalent cations at one of its two metal binding sites, (iii) dynamic interconversion of the enzyme between covalently modified (adenylylated) and unmodified forms by a novel bicyclic cascade system, (iv) repression and derepression of glutamine synthetase formation by cyclic phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of an RNA factor that governs transcription activities, and (v) regulation of glutamine synthetase turnover by the coupling of site specific metal ion-catalyzed oxidation with proteolytic degradation of the enzyme. Glutamine synthetase activity in E. coli is subject to inhibition by seven different end products of glutamine metabolism, namely, by tryptophan, histidine, carbamyl-phosphate, CTP, AMP, glucose-6-phosphate, and NAD+, and also by serine, alanine, and glycine. The cascade theory predicts that the steady-state level of glutamine synthetase adenylylation and therefore its catalytic activity is determined by the combined effects of all metabolites that affect the kinetic parameters of one or more of the enzymes in the cascade. Furthermore, under conditions where the supplies of ATP and glutamate are not limiting and the production of glutamine exceeds the demand, GS is no longer needed, then it will be converted to the catalytically inactive adenylylated form that is not under protection of ATP and glutamate.

Abstract
Protein oxidation by reactive oxygen species has been associated with aging and neurodegenerative disorders, and histidine is one of the major oxidation targets due to its metal-chelating property and susceptibility to metal-catalyzed oxidation. 2-Oxohistidine, the major product of histidine oxidation, has been recently identified as a stable marker of oxidative damage in biological systems, but its biophysical and biochemical properties are understudied, partly because of difficulties in its chemical synthesis. We developed an efficient method to generate a 2-oxohistidine side chain using metal-catalyzed oxidation, applicable to both monomers and peptides. By optimizing reagent ratios and pH buffering in Cu(2+) /ascorbate/O2 reaction system, we improved the yield more than tenfold compared to reported conditions, which allowed us to obtain homogeneously modified 2-oxohisidine peptides for further studies. Analysis of 2-oxohistidine-containing model peptides by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry demonstrated increased retention time in reverse-phase chromatography and general stability of 2-oxohistidine under electrospray ionization and collision-induced dissociation. Thus, large-scale analysis of 2-oxohistidine-modified proteome should be feasible using shotgun protein mass spectrometry, and we were able to observe such peptides in proteomics datasets. The feasibility of acquiring purified peptide probes and peptide antigens containing 2-oxohistidine will help advance the study of this non-enzymatic posttranslational modification.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Human longevity is a complex issue influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Oxidative stress (OE) could play an important role in this process. Succesful aging could be related with the organism ability facing OE. In the present study we compared malondialdehyde (MDA) and oxidized proteins (OP) plasma levels, in elderly people older than 97 years and 70-80 years old, to better understand the effects of OE on human longevity. MATERIAL AND METHODS Population-based case control study. We considered as cases patients who were born and live on la Ribera county in Valencia (Spain) older than 97 years old and who accepted to participate in the study. Controls were from the same poblational base, chosen randomly, and 70-80 years old. We made a descriptive analysis of sociodemographic, clinic and functional variables; an odds ratio (OR) estimation of being centenarian by OP and MDA quartiles; and a tendency analysis by Mantel-Haenszel test. RESULTS Twenty eight cases and 31 controls were included. Functional state and robust percentage were worse in cases. MDA (1,44±0,45 vs 1,84±0,59, p=0,005), and OP (64,29±15,73 vs. 76,52±13,44, p=0,002) levels, were significantly lower in cases. The OR of being centenarian in lower/higher quartile were 3,8 for MDA and 5,7 for OP, with a Mantel-Haenszel signification of 0,029 and 0,044 respectively. CONCLUSIONS In our study OE level were lower in centenarians than in younger elderly, and the lower the OE grade, the higher were the likelihood of being centenarian.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated constantly within cells at low concentrations even under physiological conditions. During aging the levels of ROS can increase due to a limited capacity of antioxidant systems and repair mechanisms. Proteins are among the main targets for oxidants due to their high rate constants for several reactions with ROS and their abundance in biological systems. Protein damage has an important influence on cellular viability since most protein damage is non-repairable, and has deleterious consequences on protein structure and function. In addition, damaged and modified proteins can form cross-links and provide a basis for many senescence-associated alterations and may contribute to a range of human pathologies. Two proteolytic systems are responsible to ensure the maintenance of cellular functions: the proteasomal (UPS) and the lysosomal system. Those degrading systems provide a last line of antioxidative protection, removing irreversible damaged proteins and recycling amino acids for the continuous protein synthesis. But during aging, both systems are affected and their proteolytic activity declines significantly. Here we highlight the recent advantages in the understanding of protein oxidation and the fate of these damaged proteins during aging. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Posttranslational Protein modifications in biology and Medicine.

Abstract
A combination of electrospray ionisation (ESI), multistage and high-resolution mass spectrometry experiments was used to compare the gas-phase chemistry of the amino acids histidine (1), 2-oxo-histidine (2), and 2-thioxo-histidine (3). Collision-induced dissociation (CID) of all three different proton-bound heterodimers of these amino acids led to the relative gas-phase proton affinity order of: histidine >2-thioxo-histidine >2-oxo-histidine. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirm this order, with the lower proton affinities of the oxidised histidine derivatives arising from their ability to adopt the more stable keto/thioketo tautomeric forms. All protonated amino acids predominately fragment via the combined loss of H(2)O and CO to yield a(1) ions. Protonated 2 and 3 also undergo other small molecule losses including NH(3) and the imine HN=CHCO(2)H. The observed differences in the fragmentation pathways are rationalised through DFT calculations, which reveal that while modification of histidine via the introduction of the oxygen atom in 2 or the sulfur atom in 3 does not affect the barriers against the loss of H(2)O+CO, barriers against the losses of NH(3) and HN=CHCO(2)H are lowered relative to protonated histidine.

Abstract
In Bacillus subtilis, PerR is a metal-dependent sensor of hydrogen peroxide. PerR is a dimeric zinc protein with a regulatory site that coordinates either Fe(2+) (PerR-Zn-Fe) or Mn(2+) (PerR-Zn-Mn). Though most of the peroxide sensors use cysteines to detect H(2)O(2), it has been shown that reaction of PerR-Zn-Fe with H(2)O(2) leads to the oxidation of one histidine residue. Oxidation of PerR leads to the incorporation of one oxygen atom into His37 or His91. This study presents the crystal structure of the oxidized PerR protein (PerR-Zn-ox), which clearly shows a 2-oxo-histidine residue in position 37. Formation of 2-oxo-histidine is demonstrated and quantified by HPLC-MS/MS. EPR experiments indicate that PerR-Zn-H37ox retains a significant affinity for the regulatory metal, whereas PerR-Zn-H91ox shows a considerably reduced affinity for the metal ion. In spite of these major differences in terms of metal binding affinity, oxidation of His37 and/or His91 in PerR prevents DNA binding.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Proteins can undergo numerous covalent changes on exposure to oxidants. Oxidative modification of protein in vivo may affect a variety of cellular functions. Protein oxidation in vivo is a natural consequence of aerobic life. Oxygen radicals and other activated oxygen species generated as byproducts of cellular metabolism or from environmental sources cause modifications to the amino acids of proteins that generally result in loss of protein function/enzymatic activity. It is now well known that reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a key role in human cancer development. Moreover, the brain is especially vulnerable to ROS mediated injury. METHOD Therefore, in the present study, protein oxidation was assessed in the plasma of 17 patients with brain tumors and 16 age and gender-matched controls by measuring protein thiols and protein carbonyls spectrophotometrically. RESULTS There was a significant decrease in protein thiols and carbonyls in malignant cases of brain tumors when compared with the control group. No significant change in protein thiols was noted in benign cases compared to controls. A comparison of levels in benign and malignant cases for both the parameters also showed no significant difference. DISCUSSION Thus, free radical toxicity does lead to protein oxidation in patients with brain tumors.

Abstract
Oxidative modifications to amino acid side chains can change the dissociation pathways of peptide ions, although these variations are most commonly observed when cysteine and methionine residues are oxidized. In this work we describe the very noticeable effect that oxidation of histidine residues can have on the dissociation patterns of peptide ions containing this residue. A common product ion spectral feature of doubly charged tryptic peptides is enhanced cleavage at the C-terminal side of histidine residues. This preferential cleavage arises as a result of the unique acid/base character of the imidazole side chain that initiates cleavage of a proximal peptide bond for ions in which the number of protons does not exceed the number of basic residues. We demonstrate here that this enhanced cleavage is eliminated when histidine is oxidized to 2-oxo-histidine because the proton affinity and nucleophilicity of the imidazole side chain are lowered. Furthermore, we find that oxidation of histidine to 2-oxo-histidine can cause the misassignment of oxidized residues when more than one oxidized isomer is simultaneously subjected to tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). These spectral misinterpretations can usually be avoided by using multiple stages of MS/MS (MS(n)) or by specially optimized liquid chromatographic separation conditions. When these approaches are not accessible or do not work, N-terminal derivatization with sulfobenzoic acid avoids the problem of mistakenly assigning oxidized residues.

Abstract
The modification of proteins by reactive oxygen and nitrogen species plays an important role in various biologic processes involving protein activation and inactivation, protein translocation and turnover during signal transduction, stress response, proliferation, and apoptosis. Recent advances in protein and peptide separation and mass spectrometry provide increasingly sophisticated tools for the quantitative analysis of such protein modifications, which are absolutely necessary for their correlation with biologic phenomena. The present review focuses specifically on the qualitative and quantitative mass spectrometric analysis of the most common protein modifications caused by reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in vivo and in vitro and details a case study on a membrane protein the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca-ATPase (SERCA).

Abstract
The metal-catalyzed oxidation (MCO) of proteins represents an important pathway for protein degradation. Although many mechanistic details of MCO are currently unknown, such mechanistic information would greatly benefit formulation scientists in the rational design and analysis of protein formulations. Here, we describe the Fenton oxidation (by Fe(2+)/H(2)O(2)) of several Met-, Tyr-, and His containing model peptides, including one derivative containing a conformationally restricted norbornyl Met analogue (Nor), Nor-Gly-His-Met-NH(2). Our results will provide evidence for a metal-bound reactive oxygen species selectively oxidizing Met to Met sulfoxide, indicating a Met-specific oxidant and arguing against the involvement of freely diffusible hydroxyl radicals. The Fenton oxidation of Nor-Gly-His-Met-NH(2) yields a 2:1 preference for sulfoxide formation at the C-terminal Met versus the N-terminal Nor residue, respectively, while incubation of the peptide with H(2)O(2) alone results in a 1:1 ratio. These results are rationalized by the better access of the thioether side chain of the flexible C-terminal Met residue to the peptide-bound iron compared with the conformationally restricted Nor residue. It is commonly believed that Fenton oxidation reactions involve hydroxyl radicals, and that Met oxidation in proteins is predominantly controlled by the surface-accessibility of the respective Met residues. However, occasionally protein oxidation in formulations shows selectivities, which are not consistent with these paradigms. Our results demonstrate additional features of the Fenton reaction such as the formation of a metal-bound oxidant specific for Met (and not Tyr or His), which may assist formulation scientists in the rationalization of unexpected oxidation selectivities.

Abstract
Chronic exposure to sunlight plays a role in skin aging and carcinogenesis. The molecular mechanisms of photodamage by ultraviolet A, the sunlight's major ultraviolet constituent, are poorly understood. Here we provide evidence that advanced glycation end products on proteins are sensitizers of photo-oxidative stress in skin cells. Glycation is a process of protein damage by reducing sugars and other reactive carbonyl species leading to the formation of advanced glycation end products, which accumulate on long-lived proteins such as dermal elastin and collagen during skin aging. Growth inhibition as a result of advanced glycation end product photosensitization of ultraviolet A and solar-simulated light was demonstrated in human keratinocytes and fibroblasts. Using advanced glycation end product bovine serum albumin and advanced glycation end product collagen as model photosensitizers, ultraviolet A-induced formation of H2O2 was identified as the key mediator of skin cell growth inhibition as evidenced by complete protection by catalase treatment and equivalent growth inhibition of unirradiated cells treated with pre-irradiated advanced glycation end product protein. D-penicillamine protected against advanced glycation end product-photosensitized growth inhibition even when added following irradiation, suggesting the feasibility of therapeutic approaches for protection against skin ultraviolet A damage. Photosensitized growth inhibition increased with the degree of advanced glycation end product modification paralleled by the amount of H2O2 formed upon solar-simulated light irradiation of the protein. Photosensitization was not observed using bovine serum albumin modified with the major advanced glycation end product, Nepsilon-carboxymethyl-L-lysine, ruling out effects of cellular advanced glycation end product receptor (RAGE) stimulation. In contrast to bovine serum albumin, unglycated collagen showed photosensitization in CF3 fibroblasts and generation of H2O2 upon solar-simulated light irradiation. This study supports the hypothesis that advanced glycation end product-modified proteins are endogenous sensitizers of photo-oxidative cell damage in human skin by ultraviolet A-induced generation of reactive oxygen species contributing to photoaging and photocarcinogenesis.

Abstract
We used matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) to characterize hydrophobic, alanine-rich mutants of the basic region/leucine zipper (bZIP) protein GCN4. These bacterially expressed proteins were generated to probe how small, alpha-helical proteins bind specific DNA sites. Enzymatic digestion mapping combined with MALDI-TOF MS characterization of protein fragments allowed us to resolve mass discrepancies between the expected and observed molecular mass measurements. Changes in mass were attributed to posttranslational modifications (PTMs) by proteolytic cleavage of the initiating methionine residue, carbamylation at the amino terminus, oxidation of histidine side chains, and oxidative addition of beta-mercaptoethanol (BME) at the cysteine side chain. Proteins can undergo a wide variety of co-translational modifications and PTMs during growth, isolation, and purification. Such changes in mass can only be detected by a high-resolution technique such as MALDI, which in conjunction with enzymatic digestion mapping, becomes a powerful methodology for characterization of protein structure.

Abstract
Photosensitized DNA damage in skin is thought to be an important mechanism of UV phototoxicity. Here we demonstrate that proteins modified by advanced glycation endproducts (AGE-proteins) are photosensitizers of DNA damage and show that multiple mechanisms are involved in AGE-sensitization. AGE-chromophores accumulate on long-lived skin proteins such as collagen and elastin as a consequence of glycation, the spontaneous amino-carbonyl reaction of protein-bound lysine and arginine residues with reactive carbonyl species. AGE-proteins accumulate in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm of mammalian cells. To test the hypothesis that protein-bound AGEs in close proximity to DNA are potent UV-photosensitizers, a simple plasmid DNA cleavage assay was established. Irradiation of supercoiled phiX 174 DNA with solar simulated light in the presence of AGE-modified bovine serum albumin or AGE-modified RNAse A induced DNA single strand breaks. The sensitization potency of the glycated protein correlated with increased AGE-modification and the unmodified protein displayed no photosensitizing activity. AGE-sensitized formation of reactive oxygen species was not fully responsible for the observed DNA damage and other mechanisms such as direct electron transfer interaction between photoexcited AGE and DNA are likely to be involved. Glycated proteins in skin may equally function as potent photosensitizers of DNA damage with implications for photoaging and photocarcinogenesis.

Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated increased plasma levels of oxidised low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) in chronic smokers, which has been associated with the extent of endothelial dysfunction. In this study we examine the relationship between the amino acid composition of apolipoprotein B100 (apo B) of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), by reverse phase HPLC after precolumn derivatisation, between smokers (> or =40 cigarettes/day) and nonsmokers in relation to their plasma and LDL antioxidant status. While there was a significant difference in the levels of plasma vitamin C and alpha-tocopherol between female smokers and nonsmokers, as well as in the levels of LDL alpha-tocopherol, there was no significant difference in the amino acid composition of apo B between the two groups.

Abstract
Metal-catalyzed oxidation may result in structural damage to proteins and has been implicated in aging and disease, including neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The selective modification of specific amino acid residues with high metal ion affinity leads to subtle structural changes that are not easy to detect but may have dramatic consequences on physical and functional properties of the oxidized protein molecules. PrP contains a histidine-rich octarepeat domain that binds copper. Because copper-binding histidine residues are particularly prone to metal-catalyzed oxidation, we investigated the effect of this reaction on the recombinant prion protein SHaPrP(29-231). Using Cu2+/ascorbate, we oxidized SHaPrP(29-231) in vitro. Oxidation was demonstrated by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry, which showed the appearance of protein species of higher mass, including increases in multiples of 16, characteristic of oxygen incorporation. Digestion studies using Lys C indicate that the 29-101 region, which includes the histidine-containing octarepeats, is particularly affected by oxidation. Oxidation was time- and copper concentration-dependent and was evident with copper concentrations as low as 1 microM. Concomitant with oxidation, SHaPrP(29-231) suffered aggregation and precipitation, which was nearly complete after 15 min, when the prion protein was incubated at 37 degrees C with a 6-fold molar excess of Cu2+. These findings indicate that PrP, a copper-binding protein, may be particularly susceptible to metal-catalyzed oxidation and that oxidation triggers an extensive structural transition leading to aggregation.

Abstract
Protein oxidation is defined here as the covalent modification of a protein induced either directly by reactive oxygen species or indirectly by reaction with secondary by-products of oxidative stress. Oxidative modification of proteins can be induced experimentally by a wide array of prooxidant agents and occurs in vivo during aging and in certain disease conditions. Oxidative changes to proteins can lead to diverse functional consequences, such as inhibition of enzymatic and binding activities, increased susceptibility to aggregation and proteolysis, increased or decreased uptake by cells, and altered immunogenicity. There are numerous types of protein oxidative modification and these can be measured with a variety of methods. Protein oxidation serves as a useful marker for assessing oxidative stress in vivo. There are both advantages and disadvantages to using proteins for this purpose compared to lipids and DNA. Finally, it is important to monitor the degree of oxidative modification of therapeutic proteins manufactured for commercial use. This review will examine various aspects of protein oxidation, with emphasis on using proteins as markers of oxidative stress in biological samples.

Abstract
The metal-catalyzed oxidation of histidine (His) to 2-oxo-histidine (2-oxo-His) represents an important pathway of protein oxidation in vivo and in vitro. In the pharmaceutical literature this pathway has received less attention. However, this fact may not necessarily represent reality as, in some cases, the analysis of His oxidation in proteins may be compromised by aggregation and precipitation of the target protein. For predicting the susceptibility of His residues in proteins it is important to understand in detail how protein sequence and conformation control the mechanisms of His oxidation to 2-oxo-His, reviewed in this paper.

Abstract
UV-exposure of the epidermis leads to the isomerisation of trans-UCA into cis-UCA as well as to the generation of hydroxyl radicals. This study shows by means of the deoxyribose degradation test that UCA isomers are more powerful hydroxyl radical scavengers than the other 4-(5-)substituted imidazole derivatives, such as histidine, though less powerful than uric acid. UCA, present in relatively high concentrations in the epidermis, may well be a major natural hydroxyl radical scavenger.

Abstract
Exposure to oxidant molecules issued from the environment (pollution, radiation), nutrition, or pathologies can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS for example, H2O2, O2-, OH). These free radicals can alter DNA, proteins and/or membrane phospholipids. Depletion of intracellular antioxidants in acute oxidative stress or in various diseases increases intracellular ROS accumulation. This in turn is responsible for several chronic pathologies including cancer, neurodegenerative or cardiovascular pathologies. Thus, to prevent against cellular damages associated with oxidative stress it is important to balance the ratio of antioxidants to oxidants by supplementation or by cell induction of antioxidants.

Abstract
Chickpea legumin has been purified and incubated under oxidizing conditions with linoleic acid to investigate the influence of this acid on the structure and nutritional quality of the protein. At the end of the incubation time, >30% of the linoleic acid was oxidized. The oxidized linoleic acid was highly detrimental to legumin, and the electrophoretic pattern of the protein was completely changed after the incubation period. Nevertheless, neither polymerization nor cleavage of the protein was observed as deduced from gel filtration chromatography, suggesting that the changes observed in native electrophoresis were probably due to oxidation of legumin. The incubation of legumin with linoleic acid also produced a diminution of the contents of methionine and histidine, by 81.3 and 24.3%, respectively. Finally, in vitro protein digestibility of chickpea legumin was also seriously affected by the incubation with linoleic acid, decreasing from 84.1 to 69.2%.

Abstract
The covalent insulin-protamine product molecules formed by heat stress in Neutral Protamine Hagedorn formulations of insulin and the insulin analogue [LysB28,ProB29] were examined by mass spectrometry. The results demonstrated that the covalent cross-link between insulin and protamine was not caused by linkage through the protamine N-terminal amino group, as had been previously thought. Our results indicate that the linkage was formed between the side chain of a protamine arginine and a histidine in the insulin B chain, resulting in a net mass change of -5 Da, compared to the sum of the protamine and insulin molecular masses. A mechanism for this new type of covalent cross-linking reaction is proposed.

Abstract
PURPOSE To elucidate the nature of the reactive oxygen species (i.e., superoxide anion radical, hydroxyl radical, and hydrogen peroxide) involved in the metal-catalyzed oxidation of histidine (His) in two model peptides. METHODS The degradation of AcAla-His-ValNH2 (Ala-peptide) and AcCysNH2-S-S-AcCys-His-VaNH2 (Cys-peptide) was investigated at pH 5.3 and 7.4 in an ascorbate/cupric chloride/oxygen (ascorbate/ Cu(II)/O2) system, both in the absence and presence of selective scavengers (i.e., catalase, superoxide dismutase, mannitol, sodium formate, isopropanol, and thiourea) of the reactive oxygen species. All reactions were monitored by HPLC. The major degradation products were characterized by electrospray mass spectrometry. RESULTS The Cys-peptide was more stable than the Ala-peptide at pH 5.3 and 7.4. Both peptides displayed greater stability at pH 5.3 than at 7.4. At pH 5.3, 35 +/- 0.7% of the Cys-peptide and 18 +/- 1% of the Ala-peptide remained after 7 hours, whereas at pH 7.4, 16 +/- 3% of the Cys-peptide and 4 +/- 1% of the Ala-peptide remained. Catalase, thiourea, bicinchoninic acid, and ethylenediaminetetraacetate were effective at stabilizing both peptides toward oxidation, while superoxide dismutase, mannitol, isopropanol, and sodium formate were ineffective. The main degradation products of the Ala- and Cys-peptides at pH 7.4 appeared to be AcAla-2-oxo-His-ValNH2 and AcCysNH2-S-S-AcCys-2-oxo-His-ValNH2, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Hydrogen peroxide, Cu(I), and superoxide anion radical were deduced to be intermediates involved in the oxidation of the Ala- and Cys-peptides. Hydrogen peroxide degradation to secondary reactive oxygen species may have led to the oxidation of the peptides. The degradation of hydrogen peroxide by a Fenton-type reaction was speculated to form a complexed form of hydroxyl radical that reacts with the peptide before diffusion into the bulk solution.

Abstract
Complexation of Ni(II) with native state recombinant hemoglobin is shown to produce NH2-terminal deamination and globin cross-linking in the presence of the oxidant potassium peroxymonosulfate (OxoneTM). Both the oxidative deamination and cross-linking are exclusive to the beta chains. Recombinant hemoglobin mutants have been created to identify protein sequence requirements for these reactions. It was found that His-2 of the beta globin is required for redox active Ni(II) complexation, oxidative deamination, and cross-linking. The oxidative deamination results in the formation of a free carbonyl in place of the NH2-terminal amine of the beta chain. Most cross-linking of the beta globin occurs intramolecularly, forming beta globin dimers. Structural characterization of the beta globin dimers indicates the presence of heterogeneous cross-links within the central hemoglobin cavity between the NH2 terminus of one beta chain and the COOH-terminal region of the other.
