Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a kind of metabolic disorder characterized by long-term hyperglycemia. Oxidative stress is involved in inducing the apoptosis of pancreatic β-cells and promoting the development of DM. Oxalomalate (OMA) is a competitive inhibitor of two classes of NADP+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase isoenzymes that are the main nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) producers to scavenge cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, the role of OMA in DM remains unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the protective effects of OMA on streptozotocin (STZ)-induced β-cell damage and its underlying mechanisms. The viability of rat insulinoma cell line (INS-1) and the contents of ROS, nitric oxide and NAPDH were examined after cells being treated with STZ. After treatment with OMA in STZ-stimulated INS-1, the cell viability, apoptosis, and apoptosis-related proteins were measured. Meanwhile, the levels of oxidative stress-related factors and the changes of insulin secretion were determined. The results revealed that OMA significantly increased the cell viability (p < .05), reduced the apoptotic rate (p < .001), and altered the expression levels of Bcl-2, Bax, cleaved caspase3, and cleaved-caspase9 (p < .05 or p < .01) in STZ-induced INS-1 cells. Moreover, OMA enhanced the activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase (p < .01), whereas reduced the levels of ROS, malondialdehyde and lactic dehydrogenase (p < .001). Furthermore, OMA improved the ability of insulin secretion. These results indicated that OMA might have antioxidative stress and anti-apoptosis effects to protect INS-1 cells from STZ-induced cell damage.

Piecing Together How Peroxiredoxins Maintain Genomic Stability. Antioxidants (Basel) 2018; 7:antiox7120177.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxins, a highly conserved family of thiol oxidoreductases, play a key role in oxidant detoxification by partnering with the thioredoxin system to protect against oxidative stress. In addition to their peroxidase activity, certain types of peroxiredoxins possess other biochemical activities, including assistance in preventing protein aggregation upon exposure to high levels of oxidants (molecular chaperone activity), and the transduction of redox signals to downstream proteins (redox switch activity). Mice lacking the peroxiredoxin Prdx1 exhibit an increased incidence of tumor formation, whereas baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) lacking the orthologous peroxiredoxin Tsa1 exhibit a mutator phenotype. Collectively, these findings suggest a potential link between peroxiredoxins, control of genomic stability, and cancer etiology. Here, we examine the potential mechanisms through which Tsa1 lowers mutation rates, taking into account its diverse biochemical roles in oxidant defense, protein homeostasis, and redox signaling as well as its interplay with thioredoxin and thioredoxin substrates, including ribonucleotide reductase. More work is needed to clarify the nuanced mechanism(s) through which this highly conserved peroxidase influences genome stability, and to determine if this mechanism is similar across a range of species.

NADP +-dependent cytosolic isocitrate dehydrogenase provides NADPH in the presence of cadmium due to the moderate chelating effect of glutathione. J Biol Inorg Chem 2018; 23:849-860. [PMID: 29923039 PMCID: PMC6060952 DOI: 10.1007/s00775-018-1581-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2018] [Accepted: 06/07/2018] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Cadmium (Cd2+) is toxic to living organisms because it causes the malfunction of essential proteins and induces oxidative stress. NADP+-dependent cytosolic isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) provides reducing energy to counteract oxidative stress via oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate. Intriguingly, the effects of Cd2+ on the activity of IDH are both positive and negative, and to understand the molecular basis, we determined the crystal structure of NADP+-dependent cytosolic IDH in the presence of Cd2+. The structure includes two Cd2+ ions, one coordinated by active site residues and another near a cysteine residue. Cd2+ presumably inactivates IDH due to its high affinity for thiols, leading to a covalent enzyme modification. However, Cd2+ also activates IDH by providing a divalent cation required for catalytic activity. Inactivation of IDH by Cd2+ is less effective when the enzyme is activated with Cd2+ than Mg2+. Although reducing agents cannot restore activity following inactivation by Cd2+, they can maintain IDH activity by chelating Cd2+. Glutathione, a cellular sulphydryl reductant, has a moderate affinity for Cd2+, allowing IDH to be activated with residual Cd2+, unlike dithiothreitol, which has a much higher affinity. In the presence of Cd2+-consuming cellular antioxidants, cells must continually supply reductants to protect against oxidative stress. The ability of IDH to utilise Cd2+ to generate NADPH could allow cells to protect themselves against Cd2+.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Breast cancer represents a major public health problem in women worldwide. For many cancers, serum tumour markers play an important role in patient treatment and monitoring. Isocitrate dehydrogenase enzyme is also used as a biomarker for various types of cancer. AIM The purpose of this study was to determine serum Isocitrate dehydrogenase-2 (IDH-2) enzyme activity in breast cancer patients (pre and post chemotherapy) and also correlate the changes in enzyme activity with stages of cancer and control groups. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this case-control study, histologically confirmed 40 female patients aged 28-80 years who fulfilled the criteria for diagnosis of invasive breast cancer were selected in our study groups from surgery outpatient department of SS Hospital, BHU, Varanasi, India, and 40 healthy age matched females were selected between October 2013 to July 2015. The estimation of serum IDH-2 enzyme activity in before and after two cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy patients was performed by spectrophotometry assay. RESULTS The mean serum IDH-2 activity in cases (Mean±SD) was significantly more than control group (p<0.001). The mean serum IDH-2 activity in cases was significantly decrease after neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (p=0.019). In stage II pre chemotherapy patients serum IDH-2 activity was higher than post chemotherapy (p<0.05), but in stage III the correlation between pre and post chemotherapy patients serum IDH-2 activity was not significant (p-value>0.05). CONCLUSION The serum IDH-2 can be a potential biomarker in breast carcinoma and can be used for prognosis and monitoring the chemotherapy response of the patients.

[PMID: 27810736 PMCID: PMC5094379 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2016.10.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2016] [Revised: 10/20/2016] [Accepted: 10/21/2016] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Clinical and experimental observations indicate a critical role for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), secreted by the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), in pathological angiogenesis and the development of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). RPE-mediated VEGF expression, leading to angiogenesis, is a major signaling mechanism underlying ocular neovascular disease. Inhibiting this signaling pathway with a therapeutic molecule is a promising anti-angiogenic strategy to treat this disease with potentially fewer side effects. Oxalomalate (OMA) is a competitive inhibitor of NADP+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH), which plays an important role in cellular signaling pathways regulated by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Here, we have investigated the inhibitory effect of OMA on the expression of VEGF, and the associated underlying mechanism of action, using in vitro and in vivo RPE cell models of AMD. We found that OMA reduced the expression and secretion of VEGF in RPE cells, and consequently inhibited CNV formation. This function of OMA was linked to its capacity to activate the pVHL-mediated HIF-1α degradation in these cells, partly via a ROS-dependent ATM signaling axis, through inhibition of IDH enzymes. These findings reveal a novel role for OMA in inhibiting RPE-derived VEGF expression and angiogenesis, and suggest unique therapeutic strategies for treating pathological angiogenesis and AMD development. Oxalomalate reduces VEGF expression in RPE cells by promoting HIF-1α degradation. Oxalomalate activates pVHL-mediated HIF-1α degradation by regulation of ATM-Chk2-E2F1 axis. Inhibition of IDH enzymes by oxalomalate activates ROS-mediated ATM signaling axis. Oxalomalate inhibits CNV-related angiogenesis in in vivo mouse model of AMD.

Abstract
In silico analysis together with cloning, molecular characterization and heterologous expression reports that the hypothetical protein All5371 of Anabaena sp. PCC7120 is a novel hydroperoxide scavenging protein similar to AhpD of bacteria. The presence of E(X)11CX HC(X)3H motif in All5371 confers peroxidase activity and closeness to bacterial AhpD which is also reflected by its highest 3D structure homology with Rhodospirillum rubrum AhpD. Heterologous expression of all5371 complimented for ahpC and conferred resistance in MJF178 strain (ahpCF::Km) of Escherichia coli. All5371 reduced the organic peroxide more efficiently than inorganic peroxide and the recombinant E. coli strain following exposure to H2O2, CdCl2, CuCl2, heat, UV-B and carbofuron registered increased growth over wild-type and mutant E. coli transformed with empty vector. Appreciable expression of all5371 in Anabaena sp. PCC7120 as measured by qRT-PCR under selected stresses and their tolerance against H2O2, tBOOH, CuOOH and menadione attested its role in stress tolerance. In view of the above, All5371 of Anabaena PCC7120 emerged as a new hydroperoxide detoxifying protein.

Abstract
Oxidative stress plays an important role in the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson's disease (PD). Disruptions in the physiologic maintenance of the redox potential in neurons interfere with several biological processes, ultimately leading to cell death. Evidence has been developed for oxidative and nitrative damage to key cellular components in the PD substantia nigra. A number of sources and mechanisms for the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are recognized including the metabolism of dopamine itself, mitochondrial dysfunction, iron, neuroinflammatory cells, calcium, and aging. PD causing gene products including DJ-1, PINK1, parkin, alpha-synuclein and LRRK2 also impact in complex ways mitochondrial function leading to exacerbation of ROS generation and susceptibility to oxidative stress. Additionally, cellular homeostatic processes including the ubiquitin-proteasome system and mitophagy are impacted by oxidative stress. It is apparent that the interplay between these various mechanisms contributes to neurodegeneration in PD as a feed forward scenario where primary insults lead to oxidative stress, which damages key cellular pathogenetic proteins that in turn cause more ROS production. Animal models of PD have yielded some insights into the molecular pathways of neuronal degeneration and highlighted previously unknown mechanisms by which oxidative stress contributes to PD. However, therapeutic attempts to target the general state of oxidative stress in clinical trials have failed to demonstrate an impact on disease progression. Recent knowledge gained about the specific mechanisms related to PD gene products that modulate ROS production and the response of neurons to stress may provide targeted new approaches towards neuroprotection.

Abstract
Peroxidoxins are a recently described family of antioxidants. They have an ancient origin, being present in organisms as primitive as the archaea, and they appear to be ubiquitous in living cells. Here, Sharon McGonigle, John Dalton and Eric James review the present understanding of the functions and mechanism of action of these enzymes and suggest that these antioxidants may represent the ;missing link' in the metabolism of reactive oxygen species by some protozoan and helminth parasites. Also, by performing sequence comparisons of homologues entered in the public databases, they have classified the parasite peroxidoxins as 1-cys or 2-cys enzymes. The discovery of these antioxidants may change our understanding of how reactive oxygen species, of parasite or host origin, are managed by parasites.

Abstract
Ionizing radiation induces the production of reactive oxygen species, which play an important causative role in apoptotic cell death. By supplying NADPH for antioxidant systems, we recently demonstrated that the control of mitochondrial redox balance and the cellular defense against oxidative damage are some of the primary functions of mitochondrial NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDPm). In this study, we demonstrate that modulation of IDPm activity in U937 cells regulates ionizing radiation-induced apoptosis. When we examined the regulatory role of IDPm against ionizing radiation-induced apoptosis in U937 cells transfected with the cDNA for mouse IDPm in sense and antisense orientations, a clear inverse relationship was observed between the amount of IDPm expressed in target cells and their susceptibility to apoptosis. Upon exposure to 2 gray gamma-irradiation, there was a distinct difference between the IDPm transfectant cells in regard to the morphological evidence of apoptosis, DNA fragmentation, cellular redox status, oxidative damage to cells, mitochondrial function, and the modulation of apoptotic marker proteins. In addition, transfection of HeLa cells with an IDPm small interfering RNA decreased the activity of IDPm, enhancing the susceptibility of radiation-induced apoptosis. Taken together, these results indicate that IDPm may play an important role in regulating the apoptosis induced by ionizing radiation, and the effect of IDPm small interfering RNA on HeLa cells offers the possibility of developing a modifier of radiation therapy.

Abstract
AbstractPeroxiredoxins are thiol–requiring antioxidants found in organisms ranging from bacteria to humans. They can be divided into two subgroups with either one or two conserved cysteine residues. In plants, 1–Cys peroxiredoxins have been identified in a number of grasses and cereals, and in the dicotyledonous speciesArabidopsis thaliana. In contrast to other antioxidants, the 1–Cys peroxiredoxin genes are expressed solely in seeds, and only in the parts of the seeds surviving desiccation, i.e. the embryo and the aleurone layer. The expression pattern is characteristic of late embryogenesis–abundant genes. The PER1 protein of barley is present in high concentrations in the nucleus at the onset of desiccation. 1–Cys genes are expressed in a dormancy–related manner in mature seeds, in that transcript levels are high in imbibed dormant seeds, but disappear upon germination of their non–dormant counterparts. 1–Cys transcript levels can be up–regulated by ABA and osmotic stresses and suppressed by gibberellic acid. Two hypotheses have been put forward on the function of 1–Cys peroxiredoxins in seed physiology. First, these proteins might protect macromolecules of embryo and aleurone cells against damaging reactive oxygen species during seed desiccation and early imbibition. And second, seed peroxiredoxins might play a role in the maintenance of dormancy. These hypotheses are discussed, taking into account present knowledge of the biochemistry and molecular biology of peroxiredoxins.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite, a potent physiological inorganic toxin, is known to play a critical role in cellular oxidative damage. The protective role of antioxidant enzymes against peroxynitrite-induced oxidative damage in U937 cells was investigated in control and cells pre-treated with diethyldithiocarbamic acid, aminotriazole, and oxlalomalate, specific inhibitors of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase, respectively. Upon exposure to 1 mM 3-morpholinosydnomine N-ethylcarbamide (SIN-1), a generator of peroxynitrite through the reaction between nitric oxide and superoxide anion, to U937 cells, the viability was lower and the protein oxidation, lipid peroxidation and oxidative DNA damage reflected by an increase in 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine, were higher in the inhibitor-treated cells as compared to the control cells. We also observed the significant increase in the endogenous production of reactive oxygen species, as measured by the oxidation of 2'7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescin as well as the significant decrease in the intracellular GSH level in the inhibitor-treated U937 cells upon exposure to SIN-1. These results suggest that antioxidant enzymes play an important role in cellular defense against peroxynitrite-induced cell death.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO), a radical species produced by many types of cells, is known to play a critical role in many regulatory processes, yet it may also participate in collateral reactions at higher concentrations, leading to cellular oxidative damage. The protective role of antioxidant enzymes against NO-induced oxidative damage in U937 cells was investigated in control and cells pre-treated with diethyldithiocarbamic acid, aminotriazole, and oxlalomalate, specific inhibitors of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase, respectively. Upon exposure to 1 mM S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP), the nitric oxide donor, to U937 cells, the viability was lower and the protein oxidation, lipid peroxidation and oxidative DNA damage reflected by an increase in 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine, were higher in inhibitor-treated cells as compared to control cells. We also observed the significant increase in the endogenous production of reactive oxygen species, as measured by the oxidation of 2'7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescin as well as the significant decrease in the intracellular GSH level in inhibitor-treated U937 cells upon exposure to NO. Upon exposure to 0.2 mM SNAP, which induced apoptotic cell death, a clear inverse relationship was observed between the control and inhibitor-treated U937 cells in their susceptibility to apoptosis. These results suggest that antioxidant enzymes play an important role in cellular defense against NO-induced cell death including necrosis and apoptosis.

Abstract
Cadmium is known to exhibit high affinity for thiol groups and may therefore severely disturb many cellular functions. We have demonstrated that the control of mitochondrial redox balance and oxidative damage is one of the primary functions of mitochondrial NADP+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDPm). When exposed to cadmium, IDPm was susceptible to loss of enzyme activity and structural alterations. Site-directed mutagenesis confirms that binding of cadmium occurs to a Cys379 of IDPm. We examined the antioxidant mechanism-mediated protective role of IDPm against cadmium-induced apoptosis with human embryonic kidney 293 cells transfected with the IDPm cDNA in sense and antisense orientations. As a result, we observed a clear inverse relationship between the amount of IDPm expressed in target cells and their susceptibility to cadmium-induced modulation of cellular redox status and apoptosis. In addition, loss of glutaredoxin (Grx, thioltransferase) activity by cadmium was more pronounced in antisense cells compared with the sense cells. When oxalomalate, a competitive inhibitor of IDPm, was administered to mice, inhibition of IDPm and Grx and enhanced susceptibility to apoptosis were observed upon their exposure to cadmium. These results suggest that IDPm plays an important protective role in cadmium-induced apoptosis by maintaining cellular redox status and by protection of Grx activity.

Abstract
The human PAG gene product (hPag), one member of the TSA/AhpC family, is overexpressed by oxidative stress, which causes apoptosis. To investigate the apoptotic signal transduction mediated by hPag, hPag-binding protein was screened using the yeast two-hybrid system. Omi/HtrA2 was identified as the hPag-binding protein. Omi/HtrA2, a potent proapoptotic factor, is released from the mitochondria into the cytoplasm as the mature form showing serine protease activity during apoptosis in response to oxidative stress. We found that hPag was able to interact with the mature form of Omi/HtrA2, not with the precursor form of Omi/HtrA2. The binding of Omi/HtrA2 to hPag was shown to involve the PDZ-binding domain in Omi/HtrA2. Also, the carboxyl-terminal domain of hPag was shown to be critical for the protein interaction. Using the yeast two-hybrid system and in vitro binding assay, the reduced form of hPag was able to interact with Omi/HtrA2. Interestingly, the protease activity given by the mature form of Omi/HtrA2 was significantly activated by the binding to hPag. Taken together, these results suggest that the specific protein interaction may participate as a molecular switch in modulating cell death in response to oxidative stress.

Abstract
Human serum albumin (HSA) is an abundant protein found in blood plasma and extracellular fluids. Previously, we found that HSA has a distinct thioredoxin (Trx)-dependent lipid peroxidase activity in the presence of palmitoyl-CoA. In this paper, we identified the redox-active disulfide, which can be specifically reduced by Trx, responsible for the Trx-dependent lipid peroxidase activity. The IIB-III fragment of HSA (Pro299-Leu585) sustained the Trx-dependent lipid peroxidase activity. Chemical modification of the Trx-reduced IIB-III with a thiol-specific modification agent resulted in a complete loss of the peroxidase activity. The analysis of tryptic-peptides derived from the inactivated HSA and IIB-III revealed that Cys392 and Cys438, which exist as an intramolecular disulfide bond in HSA, were preferentially modified in both HSA and IIB-III. Taken together, these results suggested that HSA has a capability to reduce lipid hydroperoxide with the use of Trx as an in vivo electron donor, and that the redox-active disulfide between Cys392 and Cys438 acts as a primary site of the catalysis for the Trx-linked lipid peroxidase activity.

Abstract
Recently, we demonstrated that the control of cytosolic and mitochondrial redox balance and the cellular defense against oxidative damage is one of the primary functions of NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH) by supplying NADPH for antioxidant systems. When exposed to a singlet oxygen-producing system composed of rose bengal (RB) and visible light, ICDH was susceptible to oxidative modification and damage as indicated by the loss of activity and by the formation of carbonyl groups. The structural alterations of modified enzyme were indicated by the increase in susceptibility to proteases and the change in intrinsic fluorescence spectra. Upon exposure to photoactivated RB, a significant decrease in both cytosolic and mitochondrial ICDH activities was observed in HL-60 cells. The singlet oxygen-mediated damage to ICDH may result in the perturbation of cellular antioxidant defense mechanisms and subsequently lead to a pro-oxidant condition. When we examined the antioxidant role of cytosolic ICDH against singlet oxygen-induced damage with HL-60 cells transfected with the cDNA for mouse cytosolic ICDH in sense and antisense orientations, a clear inverse relationship was observed between the amount of cytosolic ICDH expressed in target cells and their susceptibility to singlet oxygen-mediated oxidative damage.

Abstract
2-Cys peroxiredoxin (Prx) is a novel cellular peroxidase that reduces peroxides in the presence of thioredoxin, thioredoxin reductase, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and that functions in H(2)O(2)-mediated signal transduction. Recent studies have shown that 2-cys Prx can be inactivated by cysteine overoxidation in conditions of oxidative stress. Therefore, peroxidase activity, rather than the protein level, of 2-cys Prx is the more important measure to predict its cellular function. Here, we introduce a modified activity assay method for mammalian 2-cys Prx based on yeast nonselenium thioredoxin reductase. Yeast thioredoxin reductase is expressed in Escherichia coli cells and purified at high yield (40 mg/L of culture broth) as an active flavoprotein by combined diethyl aminoethyl (DEAE) and phenyl hydrophobic chromatography. The optimal concentrations of yeast thioredoxin and thioredoxin reductase required to achieve maximum mammalian 2-cys Prx activity are 3.0 and 1.5 microM, respectively. This modified assay method is useful for measuring 2-cys Prx activity in cell lysates and can also be adapted for a 96-well plate reader for high-throughput screening of chemical compounds that target 2-cys Prx.

Abstract
A high concentration of glucose has been implicated as a causal factor in initiation and progression of diabetic kidney complications, and there is evidence to suggest that hyperglycemia increases the production of free radicals and oxidant stress. Recently, we demonstrated that the control of mitochondrial redox balance and the cellular defense against oxidative damage is one of the primary functions of mitochondrial NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDPm) to supply NADPH for antioxidant systems. In this report, we demonstrate that modulation of IDPm activity in HEK293 cells, an embryonic kidney cell line, regulates high glucose-induced apoptosis. When we examined the protective role of IDPm against high glucose-induced apoptosis with HEK293 cells transfected with the cDNA for mouse IDPm in sense and antisense orientations, a clear inverse relationship was observed between the amount of IDPm expressed in target cells and their susceptibility to apoptosis. The results suggest that IDPm plays an important protective role in apoptosis of HEK293 cells induced by a high concentration of glucose and may contribute to various pathologies associated with the long-term complications of diabetes.

Abstract
Recently, we demonstrated that the control of mitochondrial redox balance and oxidative damage is one of the primary functions of mitochondrial NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDPm). Because cysteine residue(s) in IDPm are susceptible to inactivation by a number of thiol-modifying reagents, we hypothesized that IDPm is likely a target for regulation by an oxidative mechanism, specifically glutathionylation. Oxidized glutathione led to enzyme inactivation with simultaneous formation of a mixed disulfide between glutathione and the cysteine residue(s) in IDPm, which was detected by immunoblotting with anti-GSH IgG. The inactivated IDPm was reactivated enzymatically by glutaredoxin2 in the presence of GSH, indicating that the inactivated form of IDPm is a glutathionyl mixed disulfide. Mass spectrometry and site-directed mutagenesis further confirmed that glutathionylation occurs to a Cys(269) of IDPm. The glutathionylated IDPm appeared to be significantly less susceptible than native protein to peptide fragmentation by reactive oxygen species and proteolytic digestion, suggesting that glutathionylation plays a protective role presumably through the structural alterations. HEK293 cells and intact respiring mitochondria treated with oxidants inducing GSH oxidation such as H(2)O(2) or diamide showed a decrease in IDPm activity and the accumulation of glutathionylated enzyme. Using immunoprecipitation with anti-IDPm IgG and immunoblotting with anti-GSH IgG, we were also able to purify and positively identify glutathionylated IDPm from 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-treated mice, a model for Parkinson's disease. The results of the current study indicate that IDPm activity appears to be modulated through enzymatic glutathionylation and deglutathionylation during oxidative stress.

Abstract
Recently, we demonstrated that the control of cytosolic and mitochondrial redox balance and the cellular defense against oxidative damage is one of the primary functions of NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH), because it supplies NADPH for antioxidant systems. When exposed to reducing sugars such as glucose, glucose 6-phosphate, and fructose, ICDH was susceptible to oxidative modification and damage, which was indicated by a loss of activity and fragmentation of the peptide as well as by the formation of carbonyl groups. The glycated ICDH was isolated and identified by boronate-affinity chromatography and immunoblotting with anti-hexitol-lysine antibody. The active site lysine residue, Lys(212), was identified as one of the major sites of nonenzymatic glycation of ICDH. The structural alterations of modified enzymes were indicated by changes in thermal stability, intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence, and binding of the hydrophobic probe 8-anilino-1-naphthalene sulfonic acid. When we examined the antioxidant role of mitochondrial ICDH against glycation-induced cytotoxicity with HEK293 cells transfected with the cDNA for mouse mitochondrial ICDH in sense and antisense orientations, a clear inverse relationship was observed between the amount of mitochondrial ICDH expressed in target cells and their susceptibility to glycation-mediated cytotoxicity. Mitochondrial ICDH was purified by immunoprecipitation and probed with anti-hexitol-lysine antibody, which revealed increased levels of glycated ICDH in the kidneys of diabetic rats and in the lenses of diabetic patients suffering from cataracts. A decrease in ICDH activity was observed in those tissues. We also found that levels of glycated ICDH increased in IMR-90 cells and rat kidney during normal aging. The glycation-mediated damage to ICDH may result in the perturbation of cellular antioxidant defense mechanisms and subsequently lead to a pro-oxidant condition and may contribute to various pathologies associated with the general aging process and long-term complications of diabetes.

Abstract
A soluble protein from Saccharomyces cerevisiae acts as a peroxidase but requires a NADPH-dependent thioredoxin system and was named thioredoxin peroxidase (TPx). The role of TPx in aging of stationary cultures of S. cerevisiae was investigated in a wild-type strain and a mutant yeast strain in which the tsa gene that encodes TPx was disrupted by homologous recombination. The occurrence of oxidative stress during aging of stationary cultures of the yeast has been proposed. Comparison of 5-day-old (young) stationary cultures of S. cerevisiae and of cultures aged for 3 months (old) revealed decreased viability, increased generation of reactive oxygen species, modulation of cellular redox status, and increased cellular oxidative damage reflected by increased protein carbonyl content and lipid peroxidation. The magnitude of this stress was augmented in yeast mutant lacking TPx. These results suggest that TPx may play a direct role in cellular defense against aging of stationary cultures presumably, functioning as an antioxidant enzyme.

Abstract
Membrane lipid peroxidation processes yield products that may react with proteins to cause oxidative modification. Recently, we demonstrated that the control of cytosolic and mitochondrial redox balance and oxidative damage is one of the primary functions of NADP+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH) through to supply NADPH for antioxidant systems. When exposed to lipid peroxidation products, such as malondialdehyde (MDA), 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) and lipid hydroperoxide, ICDH was susceptible to oxidative damage, which was indicated by the loss of activity and the formation of carbonyl groups. The structural alterations of modified enzymes were indicated by the change in thermal stability, intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence and binding of the hydrophobic probe 8-anilino 1-napthalene sulfonic acid. Upon exposure to 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane) hydrochloride (AAPH), which induces lipid peroxidation in membrane, a significant decrease in both cytosolic and mitochondrial ICDH activities were observed in U937 cells. Using immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting, we were able to isolate and positively identify HNE adduct in mitochondrial ICDH from AAPH-treated U937 cells. The lipid peroxidation-mediated damage to ICDH may result in the perturbation of the cellular antioxidant defense mechanisms and subsequently lead to a prooxidant condition.

Abstract
A neuroprotective role of astrocytes has been hypothesized, but the mechanism is debated and in vivo evidence is limited. To test this hypothesis, a sublethal stressor (spreading depression) and fluorocitrate (FC), a selective inhibitor of the astrocytic Krebs cycle, were used in urethane-anaesthetized adult rats. Neuronal damage was assessed 24 h after treatment with silver stain and immunoreactivity for a 72-kDa heat-shock protein. ATP levels and mitochondrial aconitase activity, a marker indicating exposure to reactive oxygen species, were measured after 4 and 24 h. Spreading depression alone did not affect ATP levels, mitochondrial aconitase activity, or induce neuronal injury in the cortex. Local or intraventricular injection of FC significantly decreased ATP levels and mitochondrial aconitase activity, but did not produce neuronal damage. In animals receiving injections of FC and then spreading depression, there was evidence of significant neuronal stress and damage. Isocitrate, which bypasses the metabolic inhibition produced by FC, prevented all of the changes seen after the combination of FC and spreading depression. One-hour pretreatment with dimethyl sulfoxide (a scavenger of hydroxyl radicals), deferoxamine (an iron chelator) or fructose-1,6-bisphosphate also blocked inactivation of mitochondrial aconitase, ATP depletion and the neuronal damage induced by FC and spreading depression. These experiments demonstrate that inhibition of the metabolism of astrocytes, with a decrease in ATP levels, will increase the susceptibility of neurons to the stress induced by spreading depression. The neuroprotective effects of dimethyl sulfoxide, deferoxamine and fructose-1,6-bisphosphate suggest that oxidative stress contributes to the neurotoxicity in this situation.

Abstract
The metabolic functions of NADP(+)-specific isocitrate dehydrogenase (ID2), which may participate in the production of NADPH and biosynthesis of fatty acids, are not yet clearly understood. Accordingly, the current study investigated the effect of oxalomalate, known as a competitive inhibitor of ID2 in vitro, on lipid metabolism and the cellular defense system in vivo. Male Sprague Dawley rats (3 weeks old) were divided into two groups, fed a pelletized AIN-76 semisynthetic diet for 8 weeks, and injected intraperioneally with either saline or oxalomalate (25 mg/kg BW) dissolved in saline every 2 days. Oxalomalate did not lower the body weight and adipose tissue weight significantly; however, it significantly lower the plasma leptin concentration (p < 0.000), plasma and hepatic triglyceride levels (p < 0.01, p < 0.05), and adipocyte lipoprotein lipase activity (p < 0.01) compared to the control group. Meanwhile, hepatic antioxidant enzyme activities, except for superoxide dismutase activity (p < 0.01), glutathione content, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances levels were not significantly different between the groups. Therefore, the current data suggests that oxalomalate produces a triglyceride-lowering activity and play a possible inhibitory role in fat accumulation. Furthermore, it was not found to affect the most antioxidative enzyme activities, glutathione content, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances levels in rats fed normal diet.

Abstract
Recently, we demonstrated that the control of cytosolic and mitochondrial redox balance and oxidative damage is one of the primary functions of NADP+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH) by supplying NADPH for antioxidant systems. We investigated whether the ICDH would be a vulnerable target of peroxynitrite anion (ONOO-) as a purified enzyme, in intact cells, and in liver mitochondria from ethanol-fed rats. Synthetic peroxynitrite and 3-morpholinosydnomine N-ethylcarbamide (SIN-1), a peroxynitrite-generating compound, inactivated ICDH in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The inactivation of ICDH by peroxynitrite or SIN-1 was reversed by dithiothreitol. Loss of enzyme activity was associated with the depletion of the thiol groups in protein. Immunoblotting analysis of peroxynitrite-modified ICDH indicates that S-nitrosylation of cysteine and nitration of tyrosine residues are the predominant modifications. Using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) with tryptic digestion of protein, we found that peroxynitrite forms S-nitrosothiol adducts on Cys305 and Cys387 of ICDH. Nitration of Tyr280 was also identified, however, this modification did not significantly affect the activity of ICDH. These results indicate that S-nitrosylation of cysteine residues on ICDH is a mechanism involving the inactivation of ICDH by peroxynitrite. The structural alterations of modified enzyme were indicated by the changes in protease susceptibility and binding of the hydrophobic probe 8-anilino-1-napthalene sulfonic acid. When U937 cells were incubated with 100 microM SIN-1 bolus, a significant decrease in both cytosolic and mitochondrial ICDH activities were observed. Using immunoprecipitation and ESI-MS, we were also able to isolate and positively identify S-nitrosylated and nitrated mitochondrial ICDH from SIN-1-treated U937 cells as well as liver from ethanol-fed rats. Inactivation of ICDH resulted in the pro-oxidant state of cells reflected by an increased level of intracellular reactive oxygen species, a decrease in the ratio of [NADPH]/[NADPH + NADP+], and a decrease in the efficiency of reduced glutathione turnover. The peroxynitrite-mediated damage to ICDH may result in the perturbation of the cellular antioxidant defense mechanisms and subsequently lead to a pro-oxidant condition.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxins (prx) are redox enzymes using an activated cysteine as their active site. This activated cysteine can be easily overoxidized to cysteine sulfinic acid or cysteine sulfonic acid, especially under oxidative stress conditions. The regeneration of peroxiredoxins after a short, intense oxidative stress was studied, using a proteomics approach. Important differences in regeneration speed were found, prx2 being the fastest regenerated protein, followed by prx1, whereas prx3 and prx6 were regenerated very slowly. Further study of the mechanism of this regeneration by pulse-chase experiments using stable isotope labeling and cycloheximide demonstrated that the fast-regenerating peroxiredoxins are regenerated at least in part by a retroreduction mechanism. This demonstrates that the overoxidation can be reversible under certain conditions. The pathway of this retroreduction and the reasons explaining the various regeneration speeds of the peroxiredoxins remain to be elucidated.

Abstract
Previously, we reported that the yeast cytoplasmic thiol peroxidase type II isoform (cTPx II), a member of the TSA/AhpC family, showed a very low peroxidase activity when compared with other cytoplasmic yeast isoforms, and that cTPx II mutant (cTPx II Delta) showed a severe growth retardation compared with that of the wild-type cells. To reveal the physiological function of cTPx II in yeast cell growth, we searched for proteins which react with cTPx II. In this study, we identified a novel interaction between cTPx II and CSR1p using the yeast two-hybrid system. CSR1p (SFH2p) has been known to be one member of Sec14 homologous (SFH2) proteins. SFH2p exhibits phosphatidylinositol transfer protein activity. Interestingly, we found that cTPx II selectively bound to SFH2p among the five types of SFH proteins and Sec14p. The interaction required the dimerization of cTPx II. In addition, SFH2p also specifically bound to cTPx II among the yeast thiol peroxidase isoforms. The selective interaction of the dimer form of cTPx II (the oxidized form) with SFH2p was also confirmed by glutathione S-transferase pull-down and immunoprecipitation assays. The growth retardation, clearly reflected by the length of the lag phase, of cTPx II Delta was rescued by deleting SFH2p in the cTPx II Delta strain. The SFH2 Delta strain did not show any growth retardation. In addition, the double mutant showed a higher susceptibility to oxidative stress. This finding provides the first in vivo demonstration of the specific interaction of cTPx II with SFH2p in an oxidative stress-sensitive manner and a novel physiological function of the complex of cTPx II and SFH2p.

Abstract
The Arabidopsis type II peroxiredoxin (PRXII) family is composed of six different genes, five of which are expressed. On the basis of the nucleotide and protein sequences, we were able to define three subgroups among the PRXII family. The first subgroup is composed of AtPRXII-B, -C, and -D, which are highly similar and localized in the cytosol. AtPRXII-B is ubiquitously expressed. More striking is the specific expression of AtPRXII-C and AtPRXII-D localized in pollen. The second subgroup comprises the mitochondrial AtPRXII-F, the corresponding gene of which is expressed constitutively. We show that AtPRXII-E, belonging to the last subgroup, is expressed mostly in reproductive tissues and that its product is addressed to the plastid. By in vitro enzymatic experiments, we demonstrate that glutaredoxin is the electron donor of recombinant AtPRXII-B for peroxidase reaction, but the donors of AtPRXII-E and AtPRXII-F have still to be identified.

Abstract
A rapid downshift in the growth temperature of Saccharomyces cerevisiae from 30 to 10 degrees C resulted in an increase in transcript levels of the antioxidation genes SOD1 [encoding Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD)], CTT1 (encoding catalase T), and GSH1 (encoding gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase). The cellular activities of SOD and catalase were also increased, indicating that the temperature downshift caused an antioxidant response. In support of this, a simultaneous increase in the intracellular level of H(2)O(2) was observed. The level of YAP1 mRNA, encoding a transcription factor critical for the oxidative stress response in this yeast, was also increased by the temperature downshift. However, deletion of YAP1 did not reduce the elevated mRNA levels of the antioxidant genes. This suggests that the temperature downshift-induced increase in the mRNA level of anti-oxidant genes is YAP1-independent.

Abstract
Yeast nucleus-localized thiol peroxidase (nTPx) was characterized as a functional peroxidase. There are two cysteine residues in nTPx. Replacement of Cys-106 or Cys-111 with serine resulted in a complete loss of thioredoxin-linked peroxidase activity. However, when their activities were measured in terms of the ability to inhibit oxidation of glutamine synthetase, C111S showed the same antioxidant activity as the wild type protein. SDS-PAGE gel analysis revealed that only C111S existed as the dimer form. In addition to the identification of Cys-106 as the primary catalytic site, these data suggest the formation of the intradisulfide bond as a part of the catalytic cycle between nTPx and thioredoxin. nTPx preferentially reduced alkyl-hydroperoxides rather than H2O2. Furthermore, a nTPx mutant strain showed higher sensitivity toward alkyl-hydroperoxide than hydrogen peroxide. Also, reduction of the viability of nTPx mutant strain against various oxidants supports an in vivo antioxidant role for nTPx. nTPx transcriptional activity was not significantly detectable in log phase yeast, but the activity was exponentially increased after the diauxic shift. The transcriptional activity was highly induced even in the log phase yeast grown in nonfermentable carbon source. Deletion of Tor1p, Ras1p, and Ras2p resulted in considerable induction when compared with their parent strains, demonstrating the activation of the transcription of nTPx gene at the diauxic shift. Transcription of nTPx gene was induced in response to oxidative stress. Viability of a stationary phase nTPx mutant was considerably reduced compared with the isogenic strain. Collectively, these data demonstrate that nTPx is a thiol peroxidase family acting as alkyl-hydroperoxide reductase in the nucleus during post-diauxic growth.

Abstract
Singlet oxygen ((1)O(2)) is a highly reactive form of molecular oxygen that may harm living systems by oxidizing critical cellular macromolecules. A soluble protein from Saccharomyces cerevisiae specifically provides protection against a thiol-containing metal-catalyzed oxidation system (thiol/Fe(3+)/O(2)) but not against an oxidation system without thiol. This 25 kDa protein acts as a peroxidase but requires the NADPH-dependent thioredoxin system or a thiol-containing intermediate, and was named thioredoxin peroxidase (TPx). The role of TPx in the cellular defense against oxidative stress induced by singlet oxygen was investigated in Escherichia coli containing an expression vector with a yeast genomic DNA fragment that encodes TPx and mutant in which the catalytically essential amino acid cysteine (Cys-47) has been replaced with alanine by a site-directed mutagenesis. Upon exposure to methylene blue and visible light, which generates singlet oxygen, there was a distinct difference between the two strains in regard to growth kinetics, viability, the accumulation of oxidized proteins and lipids, and modulation of activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase. The results suggest that TPx may play an important protective role in a singlet oxygen-mediated cellular damage.

Abstract
Recently, we demonstrated that the control of cytosolic and mitochondrial redox balance and oxidative damage is one of the primary functions of NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH) through to supply NADPH for antioxidant systems. NO donors such as S-nitrosothiols, diethylamine NONOate, spermine NONOate, and 3-morpholinosydnomine N-ethylcarbamide (SIN-1)/superoxide dismutase inactivated ICDH in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The inhibition of ICDH by S-nitrosothiol was partially reversed by thiol, such as dithiothreitol or 2-mercaptoethanol. Loss of enzyme activity was associated with the depletion of the cysteine-reactive 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoate) and the loss of fluorescent probe N,N'-dimethyl-N(iodoacetyl)-N'-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl) ethyleneamine accessible thiol groups. Using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry with tryptic digestion of protein, we found that nitric oxide forms S-nitrosothiol adducts on Cys305 and Cys387. These results indicate that S-nitrosylation of cysteine residues on ICDH is a mechanism involving the inactivation of ICDH by NO. The structural alterations of modified enzyme were indicated by the changes in protease susceptibility and intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence. When U937 cells were incubated with 200 microM SNAP for 1 h, a significant decrease in both cytosolic and mitochondrial ICDH activities were observed. Furthermore, stimulation with lipopolysaccharide significantly decreased intracellular ICDH activity in RAW 264.7 cells, and this effect was blocked by NO synthase inhibitor N(omega)-methyl-L-arginine. This result indicates that ICDH was also inactivated by endogenous NO. The NO-mediated damage to ICDH may result in the perturbation of cellular antioxidant defense mechanisms and subsequently lead to a pro-oxidant condition.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxins are often encountered as double spots when analysed by two-dimensional electrophoresis. The quantitative balance between these two spots depends on the physiological conditions, and is altered in favour of the acidic variant by oxidative stress for all the peroxiredoxins we could analyse. Using HeLa cells as a model system, we have further analysed the two protein isoforms represented by the two spots for each peroxiredoxin. The use of selected enzyme digestion and MS demonstrated that the acidic variant of all the peroxiredoxins analysed is irreversibly oxidized at the active-site cysteine into cysteine sulphinic or sulphonic acid. Thus, this acidic variant represents an inactivation form of the peroxiredoxins, and provides a useful marker of oxidative damage to the cells.

Abstract
NADPH is an important cofactor in many biosynthesis pathways and the regeneration of reduced glutathione, critically important in cellular defense against oxidative damage. It is mainly produced by glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), malic enzyme, and the cytosolic form of NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDPc). Little information is available about the role of IDPc in antioxidant defense. In this study we investigated the role of IDPc against cytotoxicity induced by oxidative stress by comparing the relative degree of cellular responses in three different NIH3T3 cells with stable transfection with the cDNA for mouse IDPc in sense and antisense orientations, where IDPc activities were 3-4-fold higher and 35% lower, respectively, than that in the parental cells carrying the vector alone. Although the activities of other antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase, and G6PD, were comparable in all transformed cells, the ratio of GSSG to total glutathione was significantly higher in the cells expressing the lower level of IDPc. This finding indicates that IDPc is essential for the efficient glutathione recycling. Upon transient exposure to increasing concentrations of H(2)O(2) or menadione, an intracellular source of free radicals and reactive oxygen species, the cells with low levels of IDPc became more sensitive to oxidative damage by H(2)O(2) or menadione. Lipid peroxidation, oxidative DNA damage, and intracellular peroxide generation were higher in the cell-line expressing the lower level of IDPc. However, the cells with the highly over-expressed IDPc exhibited enhanced resistance against oxidative stress, compared to the control cells. This study provides direct evidence correlating the activities of IDPc and the maintenance of the cellular redox state, suggesting that IDPc plays an important role in cellular defense against oxidative stress.

Abstract
The proteomics analysis reported here shows that a major cellular response to oxidative stress is the modification of several peroxiredoxins. An acidic form of the peroxiredoxins appeared to be systematically increased under oxidative stress conditions. Peroxiredoxins are enzymes catalyzing the destruction of peroxides. In doing so, a reactive cysteine in the peroxiredoxin active site is weakly oxidized (disulfide or sulfenic acid) by the destroyed peroxides. Cellular thiols (e.g. thioredoxin) are used to regenerate the peroxiredoxins to their active state. Tandem mass spectrometry was carried out to characterize the modified form of the protein produced in vivo by oxidative stress. The cysteine present in the active site was shown to be oxidized into cysteic acid, leading to an inactivated form of peroxiredoxin. This strongly suggested that peroxiredoxins behave as a dam upon oxidative stress, being both important peroxide-destroying enzymes and peroxide targets. Results obtained in a primary culture of Leydig cells challenged with tumor necrosis factor alpha suggested that this oxidized/native balance of peroxiredoxin 2 may play an active role in resistance or susceptibility to tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced apoptosis.

Abstract
We observed that the transcription of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cytoplasmic thiol peroxidase type II (cTPx II) (YDR453C) is regulated in response to various stresses (e.g. oxidative stress, carbon starvation, and heat-shock). It has been suggested that both transcription-activating proteins, Yap1p and Skn7p, regulate the transcription of cTPx II upon exposure to oxidative stress. However, a dramatic loss of transcriptional response to various stresses in yeast mutant strains lacking both Msn2p and Msn4p suggests that the transcription factors act as a principal transcriptional activator. In addition to two Yap1p response elements (YREs), TTACTAA and TTAGTAA, the presence of two stress response elements (STREs) (CCCCT) in the upstream sequence of cTPx II also suggests that Msn2p/Msn4p could control stress-induced expression of cTPx II. Analysis of the transcriptional activity of site-directed mutagenesis of the putative STREs (STRE1 and STRE2) and YREs (TRE1 and YRE2) in terms of the activity of a lacZ reporter gene under control of the cTPx II promoter indicates that STRE2 acts as a principal binding element essential for transactivation of the cTPx II promoter. The transcriptional activity of the cTPx II promoter was exponentially increased after postdiauxic growth. The transcriptional activity of the cTPx II promoter is greatly increased by rapamycin. Deletion of Tor1, Tor2, Ras1, and Ras2 resulted in a considerable induction when compared with their parent strains, suggesting that the transcription of cTPx II is under negative control of the Ras/cAMP and target of rapamycin signaling pathways. Taken together, these results suggest that cTPx II is a target of Msn2p/Msn4p transcription factors under negative control of the Ras-protein kinase A and target of rapamycin signaling pathways. Furthermore, the accumulation of cTPx II upon exposure to oxidative stress and during the postdiauxic shift suggests an important antioxidant role in stationary phase yeast cells.

Abstract
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is known as a major cause of skin photoaging and photocarcinogenesis. Many harmful effects of UV radiation are associated with the generation of reactive oxygen species. Recently, we have shown that NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase is involved in the supply of NADPH needed for GSH production against cellular oxidative damage. In this study we investigated the role of cytosolic form of NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDPc) against UV radiation-induced cytotoxicity by comparing the relative degree of cellular responses in three different NIH3T3 cells with stable transfection with the cDNA for mouse IDPc in sense and antisense orientations, where IDPc activities were 2.3-fold higher and 39% lower, respectively, than that in the parental cells carrying the vector alone. Upon exposure to UVB (312 nm), the cells with low levels of IDPc became more sensitive to cell killing. Lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, oxidative DNA damage, and intracellular peroxide generation were higher in the cell-line expressing the lower level of IDPc. However, the cells with the highly overexpressed IDPc exhibited enhanced resistance against UV radiation, compared to the control cells. The data indicate that IDPc plays an important role in cellular defense against UV radiation-induced oxidative injury.

Abstract
The inactivation of glutamine synthetase (GS; EC 6.3.1.2) by metal-catalyzed oxidation (MCO) systems was studied in several Prochlorococcus strains, including the axenic PCC 9511. GS was inactivated in the presence of various oxidative systems, either enzymatic (as NAD(P)H+NAD(P)H-oxidase+Fe(3+)+O(2)) or non-enzymatic (as ascorbate+Fe(3+)+O(2)). This process required the presence of oxygen and a metal cation, and is prevented under anaerobic conditions. Catalase and peroxidase, but not superoxide dismutase, effectively protected the enzyme against inactivation, suggesting that hydrogen peroxide mediates this mechanism, although it is not directly responsible for the reaction. Addition of azide (an inhibitor of both catalase and peroxidase) to the MCO systems enhanced the inactivation. Different thiols induced the inactivation of the enzyme, even in the absence of added metals. However, this inactivation could not be reverted by addition of strong oxidants, as hydrogen peroxide or oxidized glutathione. After studying the effect of addition of the physiological substrates and products of GS on the inactivation mechanism, we could detect a protective effect in the case of inorganic phosphate and glutamine. Immunochemical determinations showed that the concentration of GS protein significantly decreased by effect of the MCO systems, indicating that inactivation precedes the degradation of the enzyme.

Abstract
Recently, we demonstrated that the control of cytosolic and mitochondrial redox balance and the cellular defense against oxidative damage is one of the primary functions of NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH) through supply of NADPH for antioxidant systems. When exposed to various reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide, singlet oxygen generated by photoactivated dye, superoxide anion, and hydroxyl radical produced by metal-catalyzed Fenton reactions, ICDH was susceptible to oxidative modification and damage, which was indicated by the loss of activity, fragmentation of the peptide as well as by the formation of carbonyl groups. Oxidative damage to ICDH was inhibited by antioxidant enzymes, free radical scavengers, and spin-trapping agents. The structural alterations of modified enzymes were indicated by the increase in thermal instability and binding of the hydrophobic probe 8-anilino-1-naphthalene sulfonic acid (ANSA). The reactive oxygen species-mediated damage to ICDH may result in the perturbation of cellular antioxidant defense mechanisms and subsequently lead to a pro-oxidant condition.

Abstract
The protective role of superoxide dismutases (SODs) against ionizing radiation, which generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) harmful to cellular function, was investigated in the wild-type and in mutant yeast strains lacking cytosolic CuZnSOD (sod1Delta), mitochondrial MnSOD (sod2Delta), or both SODs (sod1Deltasod2Delta). Upon exposure to ionizing radiation, there was a distinct difference between these strains in regard to viability and the level of protein carbonyl content, which is the indicative marker of oxidative damage to protein, intracellular H2O2 level, as well as lipid peroxidation. When the oxidation of 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin was used to examine the hydroperoxide production in yeast cells, the SOD mutants showed a higher degree of increase in fluorescence upon exposure to ionizing radiation as compared to wild-type cells. These results indicated that mutants deleted for SOD genes were more sensitive to ionizing radiation than isogenic wild-type cells. Induction and inactivation of other antioxidant enzymes, such as catalase, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and glutathione reductase, were observed after their exposure to ionizing radiation both in wild-type and in mutant cells. However, wild-type cells maintained significantly higher activities of antioxidant enzymes than did mutant cells. These results suggest that both CuZnSOD and MnSOD may play a central role in protecting cells against ionizing radiation through the removal of ROS, as well as in the protection of antioxidant enzymes.

Abstract
We cloned a gene encoding a 17-kDa protein from a cDNA library of the plant Sedum lineare and found that its deduced amino acid sequence showed similarities to those of Escherichia coli bacterioferritin co-migratory protein (Bcp) and its homologues, which comprise a discrete group associated with the peroxiredoxin (Prx) family. Studies of the recombinant 17-kDa protein produced in E. coli cells revealed that it actually had a thioredoxin-dependent peroxidase activity, the hallmark of the Prx family. PrxQ, as we now designate the 17-kDa protein, had two cysteine residues (Cys-44 and Cys-49) well conserved among proteins of the Bcp group. These two cysteines were demonstrated to be essential for the thioredoxin-dependent peroxidase activity by analysis of mutant proteins, suggesting that these residues are involved in the formation of an intramolecular disulphide bond as an intermediate in the reaction cycle. Expression of PrxQ suppressed the hypersensitivity of an E. coli bcp mutant to peroxides, indicating that it might exert an antioxidant activity in vivo.

Abstract
Antioxidant activity of human serum albumin (HSA) increased steeply as the reaction mixture was shifted from neutral to alkaline pH. The antioxidant activity was also remarkably increased by Ca(2+) or a cationic detergent (cetyltrimethylammonium chloride). Carboxyl group modification of HSA resulted in about 40-fold increase of the antioxidant activity. The chemical modification study indicated that in addition to functional cysteine(s), cationic amino acid residues such as histidine, arginine and lysine appeared to involve in the antioxidant reaction. HSA also exhibited alkaline-pH dependent peroxidase activity to remove fatty acid hydroperoxide. At neutral pH, only two thiols of Cys-289 and free Cys-34 of HSA were modified by a thiol-specific modification reagent, 5-((((2-iodoacetyl)amino)ethy)amino)naphthalene-1-sulfonic acid (I14), regardless of the presence or absence of dithiothreitol (DTT), and the resultant antioxidant activity was not decreased, suggesting that Cys-289 and Cys-34 did not participate in the antioxidant reaction. At alkaline pH, I14 modified several additional HSA thiols in the presence, but did not in the absence of DTT. The antioxidant activity of the modified HSA was remarkably decreased to as much as 30% of the antioxidant activity given by the unmodified HSA in the absence of DTT. The HPLC pattern for tryptic peptides containing modified cysteine(s) derived from the I14-treated c-HSA (carboxyl group-modified HSA) at pH 7.0 with DTT was very similar to that of the I14-modified HSA at pH 8.0 with DTT. Taken together, these results suggest that activation of thiol-dependent antioxidant activity of HSA at alkaline pH is due to the conformational change favorable for the functional cysteine(s)-mediated catalysis.

Abstract
A Fasciola hepatica cDNA clone of 779 bp was isolated from an adult worm cDNA expression library by immunological screening using a rabbit serum against the excretory-secretory antigens. The nucleotide sequence of the cDNA revealed the presence of an open reading frame of 582 bp which encoded a 194-amino-acid-residue polypeptide (M(r) 21,723 Da) showing a high degree of homology to thioredoxin peroxidases. This putative antioxidant protein gene was expressed in Escherichia coli as a GST fusion protein. The recombinant fusion protein showed in vitro antioxidant properties and protected rabbit muscle enolase and E. coli glutamine synthetase from inactivation by nonenzymatic Fe(3+)/O(2)/DTT or Fe(3+)/O(2)/ascorbate metal-catalyzed oxidation systems.

Abstract
A new type of peroxidase ("thiol peroxidase"; TPx) having cysteine as the primary site of catalysis has been discovered from prokaryotes to eukaryotes. In addition to two yeast TPx isoforms (TSA I and TSA II/AHPC1) previously described, three additional TPx homologues were identified by analysis of the open reading frame data base for Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Three novel isoforms showed a distinct thiol peroxidase activity supported by thioredoxin, and appeared to be distinctively localized in cytoplasm, mitochondria, and nucleus. Each isoform was named after its subcellular localization such as cytoplasmic TPx I (cTPx I or TSA I), cTPx II, cTPx III (TSA II/AHPC1), mitochondrial TPx (mTPx), and nuclear TPx (nTPx). Their transcriptional activities suggest that cTPx I and cTPx III are the most predominant isoforms among the five type isoforms. Transcriptional activities of TPx isoenzymes during yeast life span were quite different from each other. Unlike other TPx null mutants, cTPx I null mutant was hypersensitive to various oxidants except for 4-nitroquinoline N-oxide. The null mutant was more resistant toward 4-nitroquinoline N-oxide and acidic culture than its wild type. The severe growth retardation of cTPx II mutant resulted in accumulation of G(1)-phased cells. Based on kinetic properties of five isoforms, their subcellular localizations, and distinct physiology of each null mutant, we discussed the physiological functions of five types of TPx isoenzymes in yeast throughout the full growth cycle.
