Abstract
Hormetic dose responses (i.e., a biphasic dose/concentration response characterized by a low dose stimulation and a high dose inhibition) are shown herein to be commonly reported in the dermal wound healing process, with the particular focus on cell viability, proliferation, and migration of human keratinocytes in in vitro studies. Hormetic responses are induced by a wide range of substances, including endogenous agents, numerous drug and nanoparticle preparations and especially plant derived extracts, including many well-known dietary supplements as well as physical stressor agents, such as low-level laser treatments. Detailed mechanistic studies have identified common signaling pathways and their cross-pathway communications that mediate the hormetic dose responses. These findings suggest that the concept of hormesis plays a fundamental role in wound healing, with important potential implications for agent screening and evaluation, as well as clinical strategies.

Abstract
Extensive research has shown that oxidative stress is strongly associated with aging, senescence and several diseases, including neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders. Oxidative stress is caused by the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can be counteracted by both enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidants. One of these antioxidant mechanisms is the widely studied methionine sulfoxide reductase system (Msr). Methionine is one of the most easily oxidized amino acids and Msr can reverse this oxidation and restore protein function, with MsrA and MsrB reducing different stereoisomers. This article focuses on experimental and genetic research performed on Msr and its link to brain diseases. Studies on several model systems as well as genome-wide association studies are compiled to highlight the role of MSRA in schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease. Genetic variation of MSRA may also contribute to the risk of psychosis, personality traits, and metabolic factors.

Mitochondrial MsrB2 serves as a switch and transducer for mitophagy. EMBO Mol Med 2019; 11:e10409.

Abstract
Mitophagy can selectively remove damaged toxic mitochondria, protecting a cell from apoptosis. The molecular spatial-temporal mechanisms governing autophagosomal selection of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-damaged mitochondria, particularly in a platelet (no genomic DNA for transcriptional regulation), remain unclear. We now report that the mitochondrial matrix protein MsrB2 plays an important role in switching on mitophagy by reducing Parkin methionine oxidation (MetO), and transducing mitophagy through ubiquitination by Parkin and interacting with LC3. This biochemical signaling only occurs at damaged mitochondria where MsrB2 is released from the mitochondrial matrix. MsrB2 platelet-specific knockout and in vivo peptide inhibition of the MsrB2/LC3 interaction lead to reduced mitophagy and increased platelet apoptosis. Pathophysiological importance is highlighted in human subjects, where increased MsrB2 expression in diabetes mellitus leads to increased platelet mitophagy, and in platelets from Parkinson's disease patients, where reduced MsrB2 expression is associated with reduced mitophagy. Moreover, Parkin mutations at Met192 are associated with Parkinson's disease, highlighting the structural sensitivity at the Met192 position. Release of the enzyme MsrB2 from damaged mitochondria, initiating autophagosome formation, represents a novel regulatory mechanism for oxidative stress-induced mitophagy.

Abstract
Cysteine and methionine residues are the amino acids most sensitive to oxidation by reactive oxygen species. However, in contrast to other amino acids, certain cysteine and methionine oxidation products can be reduced within proteins by dedicated enzymatic repair systems. Oxidation of cysteine first results in either the formation of a disulfide bridge or a sulfenic acid. Sulfenic acid can be converted to disulfide or sulfenamide or further oxidized to sulfinic acid. Disulfide can be easily reversed by different enzymatic systems such as the thioredoxin/thioredoxin reductase and the glutaredoxin/glutathione/glutathione reductase systems. Methionine side chains can also be oxidized by reactive oxygen species. Methionine oxidation, by the addition of an extra oxygen atom, leads to the generation of methionine sulfoxide. Enzymatically catalyzed reduction of methionine sulfoxide is achieved by either methionine sulfoxide reductase A or methionine sulfoxide reductase B, also referred as to the methionine sulfoxide reductases system. This oxidized protein repair system is further described in this review article in terms of its discovery and biologically relevant characteristics, and its important physiological roles in protecting against oxidative stress, in ageing and in regulating protein function.

Abstract
To combat the deleterious effects that oxidation of the sulfur atom in methionine to sulfoxide may bring, aerobic cells express repair pathways involving methionine sulfoxide reductases (MSRs) to reverse the above reaction. Here, we show that Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent of African trypanosomiasis, expresses two distinct trypanothione-dependent MSRs that can be distinguished from each other based on sequence, sub-cellular localisation and substrate preference. One enzyme found in the parasite's cytosol, shows homology to the MSRA family of repair proteins and preferentially metabolises the S epimer of methionine sulfoxide. The second, which contains sequence motifs present in MSRBs, is restricted to the mitochondrion and can only catalyse reduction of the R form of peptide-bound methionine sulfoxide. The importance of these proteins to the parasite was demonstrated using functional genomic-based approaches to produce cells with reduced or elevated expression levels of MSRA, which exhibited altered susceptibility to exogenous H2O2. These findings identify new reparative pathways that function to fix oxidatively damaged methionine within this medically important parasite.

Abstract
Feed efficiency (FE) is a very important trait in livestock industry. Identification of the candidate genes could be of benefit for the improvement of FE trait. Mouse is used as the model for many studies in mammals. In this study, the candidate genes related to FE and coat color were identified using C57BL/6J (C57) × Kunming (KM) F2 mouse population. GWAS results showed that 61 and 2 SNPs were genome-wise suggestive significantly associated with feed conversion ratio (FCR) and feed intake (FI) traits, respectively. Moreover, the Erbin, Msrb2, Ptf1a, and Fgf10 were considered as the candidate genes of FE. The Lpl was considered as the candidate gene of FI. Further, the coat color trait was studied. KM mice are white and C57 ones are black. The GWAS results showed that the most significant SNP was located at chromosome 7, and the closely linked gene was Tyr. Therefore, our study offered useful target genes related to FE in mice; these genes may play similar roles in FE of livestock. Also, we identified the major gene of coat color in mice, which would be useful for better understanding of natural mutation of the coat color in mice.

Abstract
AIMS To examine the role of the enzyme methionine sulfoxide reductase A-1 (MSRA-1) in amyloid-β peptide (Aβ)-peptide aggregation and toxicity in vivo, using a Caenorhabditis elegans model of the human amyloidogenic disease inclusion body myositis. RESULTS MSRA-1 specifically reduces oxidized methionines in proteins. Therefore, a deletion of the msra-1 gene was introduced into transgenic C. elegans worms that express the Aβ-peptide in muscle cells to prevent the reduction of oxidized methionines in proteins. In a constitutive transgenic Aβ strain that lacks MSRA-1, the number of amyloid aggregates decreases while the number of oligomeric Aβ species increases. These results correlate with enhanced synaptic dysfunction and mislocalization of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor ACR-16 at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). INNOVATION This approach aims at modulating the oxidation of Aβ in vivo indirectly by dismantling the methionine sulfoxide repair system. The evidence presented here shows that the absence of MSRA-1 influences Aβ aggregation and aggravates locomotor behavior and NMJ dysfunction. The results suggest that therapies which boost the activity of the Msr system could have a beneficial effect in managing amyloidogenic pathologies. CONCLUSION The absence of MSRA-1 modulates Aβ-peptide aggregation and increments its deleterious effects in vivo.

Abstract
Nonsegmental vitiligo (NSV) is characterized by loss of inherited skin color. The cause of the disease is still unknown despite accumulating in vivo and in vitro evidence of massive epidermal oxidative stress via H2O2 and peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)) in affected individuals. The most favored hypothesis is based on autoimmune mechanisms. Strictly segmental vitiligo (SSV) with dermatomal distribution is a rare entity, often associated with stable outcome. Recently, it was documented that this form can be associated with NSV (mixed vitiligo). We here asked the question whether ROS and possibly ONOO(-) could be players in the pathogenesis of SSV. Our in situ results demonstrate for the first time epidermal biopterin accumulation together with significantly decreased epidermal catalase, thioredoxin/thioreoxin reductase, and MSRA/MSRB expression. Moreover, we show epidermal ONOO(-) accumulation. In vivo FT-Raman spectroscopy reveals the presence of H2O2, methionine sulfoxide, and tryptophan metabolites; i.e., N-formylkynurenine and kynurenine, implying Fenton chemistry in the cascade (n=10). Validation of the basic data stems from successful repigmentation of skin and eyelashes in affected individuals, regardless of SSV or segmental vitiligo in association with NSV after reduction of epidermal H2O2 (n=5). Taken together, our contribution strongly supports H2O2/ONOO-mediated stress in the pathogenesis of SSV. Our findings offer new treatment intervention for lost skin and hair color.

Abstract
Proteins are continuously affected by various intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Damaged proteins influence several intracellular pathways and result in different disorders and diseases. Aggregation of damaged proteins depends on the balance between their generation and their reversal or elimination by protein repair systems and degradation, respectively. With regard to protein repair, only few repair mechanisms have been evidenced including the reduction of methionine sulfoxide residues by the methionine sulfoxide reductases, the conversion of isoaspartyl residues to L-aspartate by L-isoaspartate methyl transferase and deglycation by phosphorylation of protein-bound fructosamine by fructosamine-3-kinase. Protein degradation is orchestrated by two major proteolytic systems, namely the lysosome and the proteasome. Alteration of the function for both systems has been involved in all aspects of cellular metabolic networks linked to either normal or pathological processes. Given the importance of protein repair and degradation, great effort has recently been made regarding the modulation of these systems in various physiological conditions such as aging, as well as in diseases. Genetic modulation has produced promising results in the area of protein repair enzymes but there are not yet any identified potent inhibitors, and, to our knowledge, only one activating compound has been reported so far. In contrast, different drugs as well as natural compounds that interfere with proteolysis have been identified and/or developed resulting in homeostatic maintenance and/or the delay of disease progression.

Abstract
PEP-1 peptide has been used for transduction of native protein into mammalian cells. This work describes the findings that the fusion of PEP-1 to target proteins led to protein truncation likely in a non-protein-specific manner. Approximately 75% of PEP-1-MsrA fusion protein was truncated in the N-terminal region of MsrA between Lys-27 and Val-28 during expression in Escherichia coli and purification. This large protein truncation was also observed in another PEP-1 fused protein, PEP-1- MsrB2, in the N-terminal region of MsrB2. The full-length PEP-1-MsrA protein was rapidly transduced into keratinocyte cells within 15 min. The transduced PEP-1-MsrA was functionally active and could protect skin cells against oxidative stress-and ultraviolet radiation-induced cell death. Collectively, our data demonstrated the protective roles of MsrA in skin cells and, moreover, may raise a concern of protein truncation caused by fusion of PEP-1 about the general use of this peptide for protein transduction.

Abstract
Systematic characterization of cancer genomes has revealed a staggering number of diverse aberrations that differ among individuals, such that the functional importance and physiological impact of most tumor genetic alterations remain poorly defined. We developed a computational framework that integrates chromosomal copy number and gene expression data for detecting aberrations that promote cancer progression. We demonstrate the utility of this framework using a melanoma data set. Our analysis correctly identified known drivers of melanoma and predicted multiple tumor dependencies. Two dependencies, TBC1D16 and RAB27A, confirmed empirically, suggest that abnormal regulation of protein trafficking contributes to proliferation in melanoma. Together, these results demonstrate the ability of integrative Bayesian approaches to identify candidate drivers with biological, and possibly therapeutic, importance in cancer.

Abstract
Tetrahydrobiopterine (6BH(4)) can diminish the oxidative stress undergone by keratinocytes and melanocytes by reducing the o-quinones generated by the oxidation of the corresponding o-diphenols. We found that 6BH(4) and their analogs reduced all the o-quinones studied. The formal potentials of different quinone/diphenol pairs indicate that the o-quinones with withdrawing groups are more potent oxidants than those with donating groups.

Abstract
The beta amyloid peptide (Abeta), the major protein component of brain senile plaques in Alzheimer's disease, is known to be directly responsible for the production of free radicals that may lead to neurodegeneration. Our recent evidence suggest that the redox state of methionine residue in position 35 (Met-35) of Abeta has the ability to deeply modify peptide's neurotoxic actions. Reversible oxidation of methionine in proteins involving the enzyme methionine sulfoxide reductase type A (MsrA) is postulated to serve a general antioxidant role and a decrease in MsrA has been implicated in Alzheimer's disease. In rat neuroblastoma cells (IMR-32), we used Abeta(1-42), in which the Met-35 is present in the reduced state, with a modified peptide with oxidized Met-35 (Abeta(1-42)Met35(OX)), as well as an Abeta-derivative in which Met-35 is substituted with norleucine (Abeta(1-42)Nle35) to investigate the relationship between Met-35 redox state, expression and function of MsrA and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. The obtained results shown that MsrA activity, as well as mRNA levels, increase in IMR-32 cells treated with Abeta(1-42)Met35(OX), differently to that shown by the reduced derivative. The increase in MsrA function and expression was associated with a decline of ROS levels. None of these effects were observed when cells were exposed to Abeta containing oxidized Met35 (Abeta1-42)Met35(OX). Taken together, the results of the present study indicate that the differential toxicity of Abeta peptides containing reduced or oxidised Met-35 depends on the ability of the latter form to reduce ROS generation by enhancing MsrA gene expression and function and suggests the therapeutic potential of MsrA in Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Staurosporine induces the production of reactive oxygen species, which play an important causative role in apoptotic cell death. Recently, it was demonstrated that the control of cellular redox balance and the defense against oxidative damage is one of the primary functions of cytosolic NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDPc) by supplying NADPH for antioxidant systems. The present report shows that silencing of IDPc expression in HeLa cells greatly enhances apoptosis induced by staurosporine. Transfection of HeLa cells with an IDPc small interfering RNA (siRNA) markedly decreased activity of IDPc, enhancing the susceptibility of staurosporine-induced apoptosis reflected by DNA fragmentation, cellular redox status and the modulation of apoptotic marker proteins. These results indicate that IDPc may play an important role in regulating the apoptosis induced by staurosporine and the sensitizing effect of IDPc siRNA on the apoptotic cell death of HeLa cells offers the possibility of developing a modifier of cancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
Recently, the antioxidant repair enzymes methionine-S-sulfoxide reductase A (MSRA) and methionine-R-sulfoxide reductase B (MSRB) were described in human epidermal keratinocytes and melanocytes. Methionine sulfoxide reductases (MSRs) are thought to protect against reactive oxygen species-induced oxidative damage in many organs, including the most environmentally exposed organ, human skin. We sought to examine the expression and distribution of this enzyme family (MSRA, MSRB1, MSRB2, and MSRB3) within the various compartments of healthy and diseased human skin. Expression was assessed using polyclonal MSR antibodies and immunohistochemical staining of human skin biopsies from various anatomical sites. Remarkably, MSRA expression was not only found in the epidermis as previously described but also in hair follicles and eccrine glands and was most pronounced in sebaceous glands. Furthermore, MSRB2 expression was found in melanocytes while MSRB1 and MSRB3 were both expressed within vascular endothelial cells. In conclusion, MSR enzymes are differentially expressed in human skin. Thus, modulation of MSR repair antioxidants may have implications for cutaneous aging and carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Proteins are subject to modification by reactive oxygen species (ROS), and oxidation of specific amino acid residues can impair their biological function, leading to an alteration in cellular homeostasis. Sulfur-containing amino acids as methionine are the most vulnerable to oxidation by ROS, resulting in the formation of methionine sulfoxide [Met(O)] residues. This modification can be repaired by methionine sulfoxide reductases (Msr). Two distinct classes of these enzymes, MsrA and MsrB, which selectively reduce the two methionine sulfoxide epimers, methionine-S-sulfoxide and methionine-R-sulfoxide, respectively, are found in virtually all organisms. Here, we describe the homologs of methionine sulfoxide reductases, msrA and msrB, in the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans. Both single and double inactivation mutants were viable, but more sensitive to oxidative stress agents as hydrogen peroxide, paraquat, and ultraviolet light. These strains also accumulated more carbonylated proteins when exposed to hydrogen peroxide indicating that MsrA and MsrB are active players in the protection of the cellular proteins from oxidative stress damage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Methionine is one of the major targets of reactive oxygen species (ROS). It is readily oxidized to methionine-S-sulphoxide and methionine-R-sulphoxide, which can be reduced by methionine sulphoxide reductase (MSR) A and B, respectively. MSR represents a unique repair mechanism in the skin antioxidant network. It functions both as a protein repairer and as a ROS scavenger. However, the expression and activity of MSR are significantly reduced in vitiligo. OBJECTIVES To investigate whether the decreased expression of MSRA is one of the reasons why melanocytes are especially vulnerable to oxidative stress in vitiligo. Methods We downregulated MSRA expression in immortalized human epidermal melanocyte cell line PIG1 by using the short interfering RNA (siRNA)-targeted gene silencing method. We checked the changes in MSRA transcript and protein level by using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and Western blot, respectively. Then we monitored the viability of MSRA-silenced melanocytes under oxidative stress. All statistical analysis was performed by unpaired two-tailed Student's t-test. RESULTS The siRNA specific for MSRA successfully suppressed MSRA expression in melanocytes. The lower MSRA expression in melanocytes led to an increased sensitivity to oxidative stress, resulting in more cell death. Furthermore, a remarkable loss of viable cells was found in MSRA-silenced melanocytes even in the absence of exogenously added oxidative stress. CONCLUSIONS MSRA is crucial for melanocytes to fight against oxidative stress in vitiligo. In addition, it is also important for normal cell survival. Any means to enhance MSRA appears to have therapeutic potential for the treatment of vitiligo.

Abstract
The generation of H(2)O(2) in the melanin biosynthesis pathway is of great importance because of its great cytotoxic capacity. However, there is controversy concerning the way in which H(2)O(2) is generated in this pathway. In this work we demonstrate that it is generated in a series of chemical reactions coupled to the enzymatic formation of o-quinones by tyrosinase acting on monophenols and o-diphenols and during the auto-oxidation of the o-diphenols and other intermediates in the pathway. The use of the enzymes such as catalase, superoxide dismutase and peroxidase helps reveal the H(2)O(2) generated. Based on the results obtained, we propose a scheme of enzymatic and non-enzymatic reactions that lead to the biosynthesis of melanins, which explains the formation of H(2)O(2).

Abstract
Methionine sulphoxide reductase A (MSRA) that reduces methionine-S-sulphoxide back to methionine constitutes a catalytic antioxidant mechanism to prevent oxidative damage at multiple sub-cellular loci. This study examined the relative importance of protection of the cytoplasm and mitochondria by MSRA using A-10 vascular smooth muscle cells, a cell type that requires a low level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) for normal function but is readily damaged by higher concentrations of ROS. Adenoviral over-expression of human MSRA variants, targeted to either mitochondria or the cytoplasm, did not change basal viability of non-stressed cells. Oxidative stress caused by treatment with the methionine-preferring oxidizing reagent chloramine-T decreased cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner. Cytoplasmic MSRA preserved cell viability more effectively than mitochondrial MSRA and co-application of S-methyl-L-cysteine, an amino acid that acts as a substrate for MSRA when oxidized, further increased the extent of protection. This suggests an important role for an MSRA catalytic antioxidant cycle for protection of the cytoplasmic compartment against oxidative damage.

Abstract
Thioredoxin systems, involving redox active thioredoxins and thioredoxin reductases, sustain a number of important thioredoxin-dependent pathways. These redox active proteins support several processes crucial for cell function, cell proliferation, antioxidant defense and redox-regulated signaling cascades. Mammalian thioredoxin reductases are selenium-containing flavoprotein oxidoreductases, dependent upon a selenocysteine residue for reduction of the active site disulfide in thioredoxins. Their activity is required for normal thioredoxin function. The mammalian thioredoxin reductases also display surprisingly multifaceted properties and functions beyond thioredoxin reduction. Expressed from three separate genes (in human named TXNRD1, TXNRD2 and TXNRD3), the thioredoxin reductases can each reduce a number of different types of substrates in different cellular compartments. Their expression patterns involve intriguingly complex transcriptional mechanisms resulting in several splice variants, encoding a number of protein variants likely to have specialized functions in a cell- and tissue-type restricted manner. The thioredoxin reductases are also targeted by a number of drugs and compounds having an impact on cell function and promoting oxidative stress, some of which are used in treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, cancer or other diseases. However, potential specific or essential roles for different forms of human or mouse thioredoxin reductases in health or disease are still rather unclear, although it is known that at least the murine Txnrd1 and Txnrd2 genes are essential for normal development during embryogenesis. This review is a survey of current knowledge of mammalian thioredoxin reductase function and expression, with a focus on human and mouse and a discussion of the striking complexity of these proteins. Several yet open questions regarding their regulation and roles in different cells or tissues are emphasized. It is concluded that the intriguingly complex regulation and function of mammalian thioredoxin reductases within the cellular context and in intact mammals strongly suggests that their functions are highly fi ne-tuned with the many pathways involving thioredoxins and thioredoxin-related proteins. These selenoproteins furthermore propagate many functions beyond a reduction of thioredoxins. Aberrant regulation of thioredoxin reductases, or a particular dependence upon these enzymes in diseased cells, may underlie their presumed therapeutic importance as enzymatic targets using electrophilic drugs. These reductases are also likely to mediate several of the effects on health and disease that are linked to different levels of nutritional selenium intake. The thioredoxin reductases and their splice variants may be pivotal components of diverse cellular signaling pathways, having importance in several redox-related aspects of health and disease. Clearly, a detailed understanding of mammalian thioredoxin reductases is necessary for a full comprehension of the thioredoxin system and of selenium dependent processes in mammals.

Abstract
Cereal seed cells contain different mechanisms for protection against the oxidative stress that occurs during maturation and germination. One such mechanism is based on the antioxidant activity of a 1-Cys peroxiredoxin (1-Cys Prx) localized in the nuclei of aleurone and scutellum cells. However, nothing is known about the mechanism of activation of this enzyme. Here, we describe the pattern of localization of NADPH thioredoxin reductase (NTR) in developing and germinating wheat seeds using an immunocytochemical analysis. The presence of NTR in transfer cells, vascular tissue, developing embryo and root meristematic cells, agrees with the localization of thioredoxin h (Trx h), and supports the important function of the NTR/Trx system in cell proliferation and communication. Interestingly, NTR is found in the nuclei of seed cells suffering oxidative stress, thus showing co-localization with Trx h and 1-Cys Prx. To test whether the NTR/Trx system serves as a reductant of the 1-Cys Prx, we cloned a full-length cDNA encoding 1-Cys Prx from wheat, and expressed the recombinant protein in Escherichia coli. Using the purified components, we show NTR-dependent activity of the 1-Cys Prx. Mutants of the 1-Cys Prx allowed us to demonstrate that the peroxidatic residue of the wheat enzyme is Cys46, which is overoxidized in vitro under oxidant conditions. Analysis of extracts from developing and germinating seeds confirmed 1-Cys Prx overoxidation in vivo. Based on these results, we propose that NADPH is the source of the reducing power to regenerate 1-Cys Prx in the nuclei of seed cells suffering oxidative stress, in a process that is catalyzed by NTR.

Abstract
This review highlights the importance of enzymology, a field of great neglect in current cutaneous biology research. It was therefore the aim by using selected examples of epidermal enzymes and their action including some open questions to demonstrate the importance of this area. Clearly a thorough understanding of basic knowledge in this field is needed which in turn offers a plethora of innovative research projects for a curious mind. Moreover, in order to gain the closest understanding to the truth instead of generating esoteric results, emphasis is put forward on a holistic view utilizing a combination of modern and sometimes old methods to get the answer. Last but not least the bench work is only useful for the welfare of our patients if we can apply our basic knowledge.

Abstract
Despite many efforts, regulation of skin and hair pigmentation is still not fully understood. This article focuses mainly on controversial aspects in pigment cell biology which have emerged over the last decade. The central role of tyrosinase as the key enzyme in initiation of melanogenesis has been closely associated with the 6BH4 dependent phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) and tyrosine hydroxylase isoform I (THI) providing evidence for an old concept of the three enzyme theory in the initiation of the pigmentation process. In this context, it is noteworthy that intracellular L-phenylalanine uptake and turnover to L-tyrosine via PAH is vital for substrate supply of THI and tyrosinase. While PAH acts in the cytosol of melanocytes, THI and tyrosinase are sitting side by side in the melanosomal membrane. THI at low pH provides L-3,4-hydroxyphenylalanine L-DOPA which in turn is required for activation of met-tyrosinase. After an intramelanosomal pH change, possibly by the p-protein, has taken place, tyrosinase is subject to control by 6/7BH4 and the proopiomelanocortin (POMC) peptides alpha-MSH melanocyte stimulating hormone and beta-MSH in a receptor independent manner. cAMP is required for the activation of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor to induce expression of tyrosinase, for transcription of THI and for activation of PAH. The redundancy of the cAMP signal is discussed. Finally, we propose a novel mechanism involving H2O2 in the regulation of tyrosinase via p53 through transcription of hepatocyte nuclear factor 1alpha which in turn can also affect the POMC response.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species contribute to ageing of the vascular system and development of cardiovascular disease. Methionine-S-sulphoxide, an oxidized form of methionine, is repaired by the enzyme methionine sulphoxide reductase A (MSRA). The enzyme, targeted to mitochondria or the cytosol by alternative splicing, is vital for oxidative stress resistance. This study was designed to examine the endogenous expression and intracellular localization of MSRA in rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). We detected robust MSRA immunoreactivity exclusively in mitochondria. Sequence analysis of msrA transcripts revealed the presence of a novel mitochondrial splice variant, msrA2a, in cultured rat VSMCs as well as in aortic tissue preparations. The enzymatic activity of a recombinant MSRA2a protein was confirmed by the reduction of methionine sulphoxide in a model substrate peptide. We conclude that multiple MSRA variants participate in the repair of oxidized proteins in VSMC mitochondria, but that other protective mechanisms may exist in the cytoplasmic compartment.

Abstract
Quinones are potentially dangerous substances generated from quinols via the intermediates semiquinone and hydrogen peroxide. Low semiquinone radical concentrations are acting as radical scavengers while high concentrations produce reactive oxygen species and quinones, leading to oxidative stress, apoptosis, and/or DNA damage. Recently it was recognised that thioredoxin reductase/thioredoxin (TR/T) reduces both p- and o-quinones. In this report we examine additional reduction mechanisms for p- and o-quinones generated from hydroquinone (HQ) and coenzyme Q10 and by 17beta-estradiol by the common cofactor 6(R)-L-erythro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin (6BH(4)). Our results confirmed that TR reduces the p-quinone 1,4 benzoquinone and coenzyme Q10-quinone back to HQ and coenzyme Q10-quinol, respectively, while 6BH(4) has the capacity to reduce coenzyme Q10-quinone and the o-quinone produced from 17beta-estradiol. 6BH(4) is present in the cytosol and in the nucleus of epidermal melanocytes and keratinocytes as well as melanoma cells and colocalises with TR/T. Therefore we conclude that both mechanisms are major players in the prevention of quinone-mediated oxidative stress and DNA damage.

Abstract
Msrs (methionine sulfoxide reductases), MsrA and MsrB, are repair enzymes that reduce methionine sulfoxide residues in oxidatively damaged proteins to methionine residues in a stereospecific manner. These enzymes protect cells from oxidative stress and have been implicated in delaying the aging process and progression of neurodegenerative diseases. In recent years, significant efforts have been made to explore the catalytic properties and physiological functions of these enzymes. In the current review, we present recent progress in this area, with the focus on mammalian MsrA and MsrBs including their roles in disease, evolution and function of selenoprotein forms of MsrA and MsrB, and the biochemistry of these enzymes.

Abstract
During chronic UV irradiation, which is part of the skin aging process, proteins are damaged by reactive oxygen species resulting in the accumulation of oxidatively modified protein. UV irradiation generates irreversible oxidation of the side chains of certain amino acids resulting in the formation of carbonyl groups on proteins. Nevertheless, certain amino acid oxidation products such as methionine sulfoxide can be reversed back to their reduced form within proteins by specific repair enzymes, the methionine sulfoxide reductases A and B. Using quantitative confocal microscopy, the amount of methionine sulfoxide reductase A was found significantly lower in sun-exposed skin as compared to sun-protected skin. Due to the importance of the methionine sulfoxide reductase system in the maintenance of protein structure and function during aging and conditions of oxidative stress, the fate of this system was investigated after UVA irradiation of human normal keratinocytes. When keratinocytes are exposed to 15 J/cm(2) UVA, methionine sulfoxide reductase activity and content are decreased, indicating that the methionine sulfoxide reductase system is a sensitive target for UV-induced inactivation.

Abstract
This article focuses on recent advances in melanocyte biology and physiology. The major function of this neural crest-derived cell is the production of melanins. A "three enzyme theory" in the initiation of pigmentation is put forward and backed up by recent findings. A receptor-independent role for alpha-MSH and the cofactor (6R)-l-erythro-5,6,7,8-terahydrobiopterin (6BH(4)) in the control of tyrosinase is described. The importance of intramelanosomal pH for melanogenesis is covered. Finally, the redundancy of the cAMP and IP3/DAG/calcium signal in melanocytes together with the downstream events are highlighted. The main message of this article is that the intracellular H(2)O(2)- redox-equilibrium controls melanocyte function in a concentration-dependent manner.

Abstract
Singlet oxygen is a highly reactive form of molecular oxygen that may harm living systems by oxidizing critical cellular macromolecules and it also promotes deleterious processes such as cell death. Recently, we demonstrated that the control of redox balance and the cellular defense against oxidative damage are the primary functions of cytosolic NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDPc) through supplying NADPH for antioxidant systems. In this report, we demonstrate that modulation of IDPc activity in HL-60 cells regulates singlet oxygen-induced apoptosis. When we examined the protective role of IDPc against singlet oxygen-induced apoptosis with HL-60 cells transfected with the cDNA for mouse IDPc in sense and antisense orientations, a clear inverse relationship was observed between the amount of IDPc expressed in target cells and their susceptibility to apoptosis. The results suggest that IDPc plays an important protective role in apoptosis of HL-60 cells induced by singlet oxygen.

Abstract
According to the free radical theory of aging proposed by Denham Harman (Journal of Gerontology 1956, 11, pp. 298-300), the continuous oxidative damage to cellular components over an organism's life span is a causal factor of the aging process. The age-related build-up of oxidized protein is therefore resulting from increased protein oxidative damage and/or decreased elimination of oxidized proteins. In this mini-review, we will address the fate, during aging, of the protein maintenance systems that are involved in the degradation of irreversibly oxidized proteins and in the repair of reversible protein oxidative damage with a special focus on the methionine sulfoxide reductases system. Since these protein degradation and repair systems have been found to be impaired with age, it is proposed that not only failure of redox homeostasis but, as importantly, failure of protein maintenance are critical factors in the aging process.

Abstract
The human epidermis is especially vulnerable to oxidative stress, which in turn leads to oxidation of important antioxidant enzymes, other proteins, and peptides. Molecular dynamic computer modelling is a new powerful tool to predict or confirm oxidative stress-mediated structural changes consequently altering the function of enzymes/proteins/peptides. Here we used examples of important epidermal antioxidant enzymes before and after hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2))-mediated oxidation of susceptible amino-acid residues (i.e. tryptophan, methionine, cysteine, and selenocysteine), which can affect enzyme active sites, cofactor binding, or dimerization/tetramerization domains. Computer modelling predicts that enzyme active sites are altered by H(2)O(2)-mediated oxidation in thioredoxin reductase (TR) and acetylcholinesterase (AchE), whereas cofactor nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (reduced form) binding is affected in both catalase and TR but not in glutathione peroxidase. Dimerization is prevented in catalase. These structural changes lead to impaired functionality. Fourier transform-Raman- and Fluorescence spectroscopy together with enzyme kinetics support the results. There are limitations of modelling as demonstrated on the AchE substrate-binding domain, where the computer predicted deactivation, which could not be confirmed by enzyme kinetics. Computer modelling coupled with classical biochemical techniques offers a new powerful tool in cutaneous biology to explore oxidative stress-mediated metabolic changes in the skin.
