Abstract
The author will outline the research history of the main issues addressed in this paper. The author has worked on this research himself. XDH, which is responsible for purine degradation, is present in various organisms. However, conversion to XO only occurs in mammals. The molecular mechanism of this conversion was elucidated in this study. The physiological and pathological significance of this conversion is presented. Finally, enzyme inhibitors were successfully developed, two of which are used as therapeutic agents for gout. Their wide application potential is also discussed.

Abstract
A description is provided of the contributions made to our understanding of molybdenum-containing enzymes through the application of electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and related methods, by way of illustrating how these can be applied to better understand enzyme structure and function. An emphasis is placed on the use of EPR to identify both the coordination environment of the molybdenum coordination sphere as well as the structures of paramagnetic intermediates observed transiently in the course of reaction that have led to the elucidation of reaction mechanism.

Abstract
Mammalian aldehyde oxidases (AOX) are molybdo-flavoenzymes of pharmacological and pathophysiologic relevance that are involved in phase I drug metabolism and, as a product of their enzymatic activity, are also involved in the generation of reactive oxygen species. So far, the physiologic role of aldehyde oxidase 1 in the human body remains unknown. The human enzyme hAOX1 is characterized by a broad substrate specificity, oxidizing aromatic/aliphatic aldehydes into their corresponding carboxylic acids, and hydroxylating various heteroaromatic rings. The enzyme uses oxygen as terminal electron acceptor to produce hydrogen peroxide and superoxide during turnover. Since hAOX1 and, in particular, some natural variants produce not only H2O2 but also high amounts of superoxide, we investigated the effect of both ROS molecules on the enzymatic activity of hAOX1 in more detail. We compared hAOX1 to the high-O2 .--producing natural variant L438V for their time-dependent inactivation with H2O2/O2 .- during substrate turnover. We show that the inactivation of the hAOX1 wild-type enzyme is mainly based on the production of hydrogen peroxide, whereas for the variant L438V, both hydrogen peroxide and superoxide contribute to the time-dependent inactivation of the enzyme during turnover. Further, the level of inactivation was revealed to be substrate-dependent: using substrates with higher turnover numbers resulted in a faster inactivation of the enzymes. Analysis of the inactivation site of the enzyme identified a loss of the terminal sulfido ligand at the molybdenum active site by the produced ROS during turnover. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: This work characterizes the substrate-dependent inactivation of human aldehyde oxidase 1 under turnover by reactive oxygen species and identifies the site of inactivation. The role of ROS in the inhibition of human aldehyde oxidase 1 will have a high impact on future studies.

Abstract
![]()
The enzyme xanthine oxidoreductase
(XOR) is an important source
of oxygen free radicals and related postischemic injury. Xanthine
dehydrogenase (XDH), the major form of XOR in tissues, can be converted
to xanthine oxidase (XO) by oxidation of sulfhydryl residues or by
proteolysis. The conversion of XDH to XO has been assumed to be required
for radical generation and tissue injury. It is also possible that
XDH could generate significant quantities of superoxide, •O2–, for cellular signaling or injury;
however, this possibility and its potential ramifications have not
been previously considered. To unambiguously determine if XDH can
be a significant source of •O2–, experiments were performed to measure and characterize •O2– generation using XDH from chicken
liver that is locked in the dehydrogenase conformation. Electron paramagnetic
resonance spin trapping experiments with 5-(diethoxyphosphoryl)-5-methyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide demonstrated that XDH in the presence of xanthine
produces significant amounts of •O2–. NAD+ and NADH inhibited the generation
of •O2– from XDH in
a dose-dependent manner, with NAD+ exhibiting stronger
inhibition than NADH at low physiological concentrations. Decreased
amounts of NAD+ and NADH, which occur during and following
tissue ischemia, enhanced the generation of •O2– from XDH in the presence of xanthine.
It was observed that XDH-mediated oxygen radical generation markedly
depressed Ca2+-ATPase activity of isolated sarcoplasmic
reticulum vesicles from cardiac muscle, and this was modulated by
NAD+ and NADH. Thus, XDH can be an important redox-regulated
source of •O2– generation
in ischemic tissue, and conversion to XO is not required to activate
radical formation and subsequent tissue injury.

Abstract
The purpose of these studies was to determine the effects of uric acid (UA) and inosine administration on xanthine oxidoreductase activity in broilers. In experiment one, 25 broilers were assigned to 5 treatment groups: control, AL (25 mg of allopurinol/kg of body mass), AR (AL for 2 wk followed by allopurinol withdrawal over wk 3), UAF (AL plus 6.25 g of UA sodium salt/kg of feed), and UAI (AL plus 120 mg of UA sodium salt injected daily). The UA administration had no effect on plasma concentration of UA (P > 0.05), and all allopurinol-treated birds had lower (P < 0.05) UA levels than controls. The UA concentrations were restored in both plasma and kidney of AR birds at wk 3, but liver UA concentrations remained lower. Whereas xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) activity in the liver (LXOR) was reduced (P < 0.05) by allopurinol treatment, XOR activity in the kidney (KXOR) was not affected (P = 0.05). In experiment two, 3 groups of 5 birds each were fed 0 (control), 0.6 M inosine/kg of feed (INO), or INO plus 50 mg of allopurinol/kg of body mass (INOAL). The INOAL birds showed lower total LXOR activity, but KXOR activity was not affected. Both INO and INOAL birds had higher plasma and kidney UA concentrations than controls. The results suggest that regulation of UA production is tissue dependent.

Abstract
Abstract Cellular redox homeostasis is the first line of defense against diverse stimuli and is crucial for various biological processes. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), byproducts of numerous cellular events, may serve in turn as signaling molecules to regulate cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. However, when overproduced ROS fail to be scavenged by the antioxidant system, they may damage cellular components, giving rise to senescent, degenerative, or fatal lesions in cells. Accordingly, this review not only covers general mechanisms of ROS production under different conditions, but also focuses on various types of ROS-involved diseases, including atherosclerosis, ischemia/reperfusion injury, diabetes mellitus, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. In addition, potentially therapeutic agents and approaches are reviewed in a relatively comprehensive manner. However, due to the complexity of ROS and their cellular impacts, we believe that the goal to design more effective approaches or agents may require a better understanding of mechanisms of ROS production, particularly their multifaceted impacts in disease at biochemical, molecular, genetic, and epigenetic levels. Thus, it requires additional tools of omics in systems biology to achieve such a goal. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 15, 2867-2908.

Abstract
Considerable disagreement still exists concerning the superoxide generation sites in the purified bovine heart NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I). Majority of investigators agree that superoxide is generated at the flavin site. Here we present a new hypothesis that the generation of superoxide reflects a dynamic balance between the flavosemiquinone (semiflavin or SF) and the semiquinone (SQ), like a "tug-of-war" through electrons. All preparations of bovine heart complex I, which have been isolated at Yoshikawa's laboratory, have one protein-bound endogenous ubiquinone per complex I (Shinzawa-Itoh et al., Biochemistry, 49 (2010) 487-492). Using these preparations, we measured (i) EPR signals of the SF, the SQ and iron-sulfur cluster N2 simultaneously with cryogenic EPR and (ii) superoxide production with both the room temperature spin-trapping technique and the partially acetylated cytochrome c method. Our experimental evidence was (1) without added decylubiquinone (DBQ), no catalytic oxidation of NADH occurs. The NADH addition produced mostly SF and it generated superoxide as reported by Kussmaul and Hirst (PNAS, 103 (2006) 7607-7612). (2) During catalytic electron transfer from NADH to DBQ, the superoxide generation site was mostly shifted to the SQ. (3) A quinone-pocket binding inhibitor (rotenone or piericidin A) inhibits the catalytic formation of the SQ, and it enhances the formation of SF and increases the overall superoxide generation. This suggests that if electron transfer was inhibited under pathological conditions, superoxide generation from the SF would be increased.

Abstract
Xanthine dehydrogenase AtXDH1 from Arabidopsis thaliana is a key enzyme in purine degradation where it oxidizes hypoxanthine to xanthine and xanthine to uric acid. Electrons released from these substrates are either transferred to NAD(+) or to molecular oxygen, thereby yielding NADH or superoxide, respectively. By an alternative activity, AtXDH1 is capable of oxidizing NADH with concomitant formation of NAD(+) and superoxide. Here we demonstrate that in comparison to the specific activity with xanthine as substrate, the specific activity of recombinant AtXDH1 with NADH as substrate is about 15-times higher accompanied by a doubling in superoxide production. The observation that NAD(+) inhibits NADH oxidase activity of AtXDH1 while NADH suppresses NAD(+)-dependent xanthine oxidation indicates that both NAD(+) and NADH compete for the same binding-site and that both sub-activities are not expressed at the same time. Rather, each sub-activity is determined by specific conditions such as the availability of substrates and co-substrates, which allows regulation of superoxide production by AtXDH1. Since AtXDH1 exhibits the most pronounced NADH oxidase activity among all xanthine dehydrogenase proteins studied thus far, our results imply that in particular by its NADH oxidase activity AtXDH1 is an efficient producer of superoxide also in vivo.

Abstract
In vascular system, superoxide anion (O2(-)) generated by xanthine oxidase (XO) is known to regulate vascular tonus by reacting with, and thus consuming nitric oxide (NO), which determines vasorelaxation. We previously reported the remarkable antihypertensive effect of a potent XO inhibitor, 4-amino -6-hydroxypyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine (AHPP). However, AHPP is insoluble in water, which hamper its in vivo application. Therefore, in this study we prepared a water soluble polymeric conjugate of AHPP, by using a styrene maleic acid copolymer (SMA, SMA-AHPP). SMA-AHPP showed similar inhibitory activity against XO (K(i)=0.25 microM) comparable to native AHPP (K(i)=0.17 microM), while exhibiting good water-solubility, which now made it possible for systemic injection. In vivo experiments were carried out to examine the antihypertensive effect of SMA-AHPP using the spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) by i.v. injection (15, 30 mg/kg) or by oral administration (100 mg/kg) of SMA-AHPP. The results showed significantly reduced blood pressures (up to 30% reduction) of SHR rats; this antihypertensive effect continued for at least 24 h after SMA-AHPP administration. These findings strongly suggest the potential value of SMA-AHPP as an antihypertensive agent with sustained in vivo activity, which warrants further investigations.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species are generated by various biological systems, including NADPH oxidases, xanthine oxidoreductase, and mitochondrial respiratory enzymes, and contribute to many physiological and pathological phenomena. Mammalian xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) can be converted to xanthine oxidase (XO), which produces both superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide. Recent X-ray crystallographic and site-directed mutagenesis studies have revealed a highly sophisticated mechanism of conversion from XDH to XO, suggesting that the conversion is not a simple artefact, but rather has a function in mammalian organisms. Furthermore, this transition seems to involve a thermodynamic equilibrium between XDH and XO; disulfide bond formation or proteolysis can then lock the enzyme in the XO form. In this review, we focus on recent advances in our understanding of the mechanism of conversion from XDH to XO.

Abstract
The potential of proline to suppress reactive oxygen species (ROS) and apoptosis in mammalian cells was tested by manipulating intracellular proline levels exogenously and endogenously by overexpression of proline metabolic enzymes. Proline was observed to protect cells against H(2)O(2), tert-butyl hydroperoxide, and a carcinogenic oxidative stress inducer but was not effective against superoxide generators such as menadione. Oxidative stress protection by proline requires the secondary amine of the pyrrolidine ring and involves preservation of the glutathione redox environment. Overexpression of proline dehydrogenase (PRODH), a mitochondrial flavoenzyme that oxidizes proline, resulted in 6-fold lower intracellular proline content and decreased cell survival relative to control cells. Cells overexpressing PRODH were rescued by pipecolate, an analog that mimics the antioxidant properties of proline, and by tetrahydro-2-furoic acid, a specific inhibitor of PRODH. In contrast, overexpression of the proline biosynthetic enzymes Delta(1)-pyrroline-5-carboxylate (P5C) synthetase (P5CS) and P5C reductase (P5CR) resulted in 2-fold higher proline content, significantly lower ROS levels, and increased cell survival relative to control cells. In different mammalian cell lines exposed to physiological H(2)O(2) levels, increased endogenous P5CS and P5CR expression was observed, indicating that upregulation of proline biosynthesis is an oxidative stress response.

To characterise the NADH oxidase activity of both xanthine dehydrogenase (XD) and xanthine oxidase (XO) forms of rat liver xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) and to evaluate the potential role of this mammalian enzyme as an O2*- source, kinetics and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopic studies were performed. A steady-state kinetics study of XD showed that it catalyses NADH oxidation, leading to the formation of one O2*- molecule and half a H(2)O(2) molecule per NADH molecule, at rates 3 times those observed for XO (29.2 +/- 1.6 and 9.38 +/- 0.31 min(-1), respectively). EPR spectra of NADH-reduced XD and XO were qualitatively similar, but they were quantitatively quite different. While NADH efficiently reduced XD, only a great excess of NADH reduced XO. In agreement with reductive titration data, the XD specificity constant for NADH (8.73 +/- 1.36 microM(-1) min(-1)) was found to be higher than that of the XO specificity constant (1.07 +/- 0.09 microM(-1) min(-1)). It was confirmed that, for the reducing substrate xanthine, rat liver XD is also a better O2*- source than XO. These data show that the dehydrogenase form of liver XOR is, thus, intrinsically more efficient at generating O2*- than the oxidase form, independently of the reducing substrate. Most importantly, for comparative purposes, human liver XO activity towards NADH oxidation was also studied, and the kinetics parameters obtained were found to be very similar to those of the XO form of rat liver XOR, foreseeing potential applications of rat liver XOR as a model of the human liver enzyme.

Abstract
The principal source of hydrogen peroxide in mitochondria is thought to be from the dismutation of superoxide via the enzyme manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). However, the nature of the effect of SOD on the cellular production of H(2)O(2) is not widely appreciated. The current paradigm is that the presence of SOD results in a lower level of H(2)O(2) because it would prevent the non-enzymatic reactions of superoxide that form H(2)O(2). The goal of this work was to: a) demonstrate that SOD can increase the flux of H(2)O(2), and b) use kinetic modelling to determine what kinetic and thermodynamic conditions result in SOD increasing the flux of H(2)O(2). We examined two biological sources of superoxide production (xanthine oxidase and coenzyme Q semiquinone, CoQ(*-) that have different thermodynamic and kinetic properties. We found that SOD could change the rate of formation of H(2)O(2) in cases where equilibrium-specific reactions form superoxide with an equilibrium constant (K) less than 1. An example is the formation of superoxide in the electron transport chain (ETC) of the mitochondria by the reaction of ubisemiquinone radical with dioxygen. We measured the rate of release of H(2)O(2) into culture medium from cells with differing levels of MnSOD. We found that the higher the level of SOD, the greater the rate of accumulation of H(2)O(2). Results with kinetic modelling were consistent with this observation; the steady-state level of H(2)O(2) increases if K<1, for example CoQ(*-)+O(2)-->CoQ+O(2)(*-). However, when K>1, e.g. xanthine oxidase forming O(2)(*-), SOD does not affect the steady state-level of H(2)O(2). Thus, the current paradigm that SOD will lower the flux of H(2)O(2) does not hold for the ETC. These observations indicate that MnSOD contributes to the flux of H(2)O(2) in cells and thereby is involved in establishing the cellular redox environment and thus the biological state of the cell.

Abstract
The involvement of xanthine oxidase (XO) in some reactive oxygen species (ROS) -mediated diseases has been proposed as a result of the generation of O*- and H2O2 during hypoxanthine and xanthine oxidation. In this study, it was shown that purified rat liver XO and xanthine dehydrogenase (XD) catalyse the NADH oxidation, generating O*- and inducing the peroxidation of liposomes, in a NADH and enzyme concentration-dependent manner. Comparatively to equimolar concentrations of xanthine, a higher peroxidation extent is observed in the presence of NADH. In addition, the peroxidation extent induced by XD is higher than that observed with XO. The in vivo-predominant dehydrogenase is, therefore, intrinsically efficient at generating ROS, without requiring the conversion to XO. Our results suggest that, in those pathological conditions where an increase on NADH concentration occurs, the NADH oxidation catalysed by XD may constitute an important pathway for ROS-mediated tissue injuries.

Abstract
Proline is converted to glutamate in two successive steps by the proline utilization A (PutA) flavoenzyme in gram-negative bacteria. PutA contains a proline dehydrogenase domain that catalyzes the flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-dependent oxidation of proline to delta1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate (P5C) and a P5C dehydrogenase domain that catalyzes the NAD+-dependent oxidation of P5C to glutamate. Here, we characterize PutA from Helicobacter hepaticus (PutA(Hh)) and Helicobacter pylori (PutA(Hp)) to provide new insights into proline metabolism in these gastrointestinal pathogens. Both PutA(Hh) and PutA(Hp) lack DNA binding activity, in contrast to PutA from Escherichia coli (PutA(Ec)), which both regulates and catalyzes proline utilization. PutA(Hh) and PutA(Hp) display catalytic activities similar to that of PutA(Ec) but have higher oxygen reactivity. PutA(Hh) and PutA(Hp) exhibit 100-fold-higher turnover numbers (approximately 30 min(-1)) than PutA(Ec) (<0. 3 min(-1)) using oxygen as an electron acceptor during catalytic turnover with proline. Consistent with increased oxygen reactivity, PutA(Hh) forms a reversible FAD-sulfite adduct. The significance of increased oxygen reactivity in PutA(Hh) and PutA(Hp) was probed by oxidative stress studies in E. coli. Expression of PutA(Ec) and PutA from Bradyrhizobium japonicum, which exhibit low oxygen reactivity, does not diminish stress survival rates of E. coli cell cultures. In contrast, PutA(Hp) and PutA(Hh) expression dramatically reduces E. coli cell survival and is correlated with relatively lower proline levels and increased hydrogen peroxide formation. The discovery of reduced oxygen species formation by PutA suggests that proline catabolism may influence redox homeostasis in the ecological niches of these Helicobacter species.

Abstract
Xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) from the bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus catalyzes the hydroxylation of xanthine to uric acid with NAD+ as the electron acceptor. R. capsulatus XDH forms an (alphabeta)2 heterotetramer and is highly homologous to homodimeric eukaryotic xanthine oxidoreductases. Here we first describe reductive titration and steady state kinetics on recombinant wild-type R. capsulatus XDH purified from Escherichia coli, and we then proceed to evaluate the catalytic importance of the active site residues Glu-232 and Glu-730. The steady state and rapid reaction kinetics of an E232A variant exhibited a significant decrease in both kcat and kred as well as increased Km and Kd values as compared with the wild-type protein. No activity was determined for the E730A, E730Q, E730R, and E730D variants in either the steady state or rapid reaction experiments, indicating at least a 10(7) decrease in catalytic effectiveness for this variant. This result is fully consistent with the proposed role of this residue as an active site base that initiates catalysis.

Abstract
Xanthine dehydrogenase from the plant Arabidopsis thaliana was analyzed on molecular and biochemical levels. Whereas most other organisms appear to own only one gene for xanthine dehydrogenase A. thaliana possesses two genes in tandem orientation spaced by 704 base pairs. The cDNAs as well as the proteins AtXDH1 and AtXDH2 share an overall identity of 93% and show high homologies to xanthine dehydrogenases from other organisms. Whereas AtXDH2 mRNA is expressed constitutively, alterations of AtXDH1 transcript levels were observed at various stresses like drought, salinity, cold, and natural senescence, but also after abscisic acid treatment. Transcript alteration did not mandatorily result in changes of xanthine dehydrogenase activities. Whereas salt treatment had no effect on xanthine dehydrogenase activities, cold stress caused a decrease, but desiccation and senescence caused a strong increase of activities in leaves. Because AtXDH1 presumably is the more important isoenzyme in A. thaliana it was expressed in Pichia pastoris, purified, and used for biochemical studies. AtXDH1 protein is a homodimer of about 300 kDa consisting of identical subunits of 150 kDa. Like xanthine dehydrogenases from other organisms AtXDH1 uses hypoxanthine and xanthine as main substrates and is strongly inhibited by allopurinol. AtXDH1 could be activated by the purified molybdenum cofactor sulfurase ABA3 that converts inactive desulfo-into active sulfoenzymes. Finally it was found that AtXDH1 is a strict dehydrogenase and not an oxidase, but is able to produce superoxide radicals indicating that besides purine catabolism it might also be involved in response to various stresses that require reactive oxygen species.

Abstract
Xanthine oxidoreductases (XOR), xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH, EC1.1.1.204) and xanthine oxidase (XO, EC1.2.3.2), are the best-studied molybdenum-containing iron-sulfur flavoproteins. The mammalian enzymes exist originally as the dehydrogenase form (XDH) but can be converted to the oxidase form (XO) either reversibly by oxidation of sulfhydryl residues of the protein molecule or irreversibly by proteolysis. The active form of the enzyme is a homodimer of molecular mass 290 kDa. Each subunit contains one molybdopterin group, two non-identical [2Fe-2S] centers, and one flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) cofactor. This review focuses mainly on the role of the two iron-sulfur centers in catalysis, as recently elucidated by means of X-ray crystal structure and site-directed mutagenesis studies. The arrangements of cofactors indicate that the two iron-sulfur centers provide an electron transfer pathway from molybdenum to FAD. However, kinetic and thermodynamic studies suggest that these two iron-sulfur centers have roles not only in the pathway of electron flow, but also as an electron sink to provide electrons to the FAD center so that the reactivity of FAD with the electron acceptor substrate might be thermodynamically controlled by way of one-electron-reduced or fully reduced state.

Abstract
The rate of formation of superoxide measured by its reduction of tetranitromethane (TNM) and by its reduction of ferric cytochrome c (Fe(III) cc) are in excellent agreement when the superoxide is generated from a simple chemical precursor. In contrast, the rate of formation of superoxide generated in the reaction of xanthine oxidase with acetaldehyde is much higher (up to a factor of 6) when measured with TNM and compared with Fe(III) cc. It is shown that Fe(III) cc measures superoxide that has diffused from the enzyme, and that TNM probably scavenges all the dioxygen that is reduced by one electron by the enzyme. The TNM traps enzyme-bound superoxide in competition with the second-electron transfer and proton transfer, which normally yield hydrogen peroxide. The proton transfer is probably rate determining, k(p) </= 3.8x10(3)s(-1).

Abstract
Xanthine oxidase (XO) and xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) were inactivated by incubation with nitric oxide under anaerobic conditions in the presence of xanthine or allopurinol. The inactivation was not pronounced in the absence of an electron donor, indicating that only the reduced enzyme form was inactivated by nitric oxide. The second-order rate constant of the reaction between reduced XO and nitric oxide was determined to be 14.8 +/- 1.4 M-1 s-1 at 25 degrees C. The inactivated enzymes lacked xanthine-dichlorophenolindophenol activity, and the oxypurinol-bound form of XO was partly protected from the inactivation. The absorption spectrum of the inactivated enzyme was not markedly different from that of the normal enzyme. The flavin and iron-sulfur centers of inactivated XO were reduced by dithionite and reoxidized readily with oxygen, and inactivated XDH retained electron transfer activities from NADH to electron acceptors, consistent with the conclusion that the flavin and iron-sulfur centers of the inactivated enzyme both remained intact. Inactivated XO reduced with 6-methylpurine showed no "very rapid" spectra, indicating that the molybdopterin moiety was damaged. Furthermore, inactivated XO reduced by dithionite showed the same slow Mo(V) spectrum as that derived from the desulfo-type enzyme. On the other hand, inactivated XO reduced by dithionite exhibited the same signals for iron-sulfur centers as the normal enzyme. Inactivated XO recovered its activity in the presence of a sulfide-generating system. It is concluded that nitric oxide reacts with an essential sulfur of the reduced molybdenum center of XO and XDH to produce desulfo-type inactive enzymes.

Abstract
Xanthine oxidoreductase is a complex enzyme found in a wide range of organisms. Recent interest in this enzyme stems from its ability to produce reactive oxygen species under a range of conditions. It is found as a homodimer, each unit containing a molybdopterin cofactor, two iron sulfur centers, and FAD. The enzyme can exist in two forms that differ primarily in their oxidizing substrate specificity. The dehydrogenase form preferentially utilizes NAD+ as an electron acceptor but is able to donate electrons to molecular oxygen. Xanthine dehydrogenase from mammalian sources can be converted to an oxidase form that readily donates electrons to molecular oxygen, but does not reduce NAD+. The catalytic mechanism of both forms of the enzyme can be described in terms of a rapid equilibrium model in which reducing equivalents are distributed rapidly between the different redox centers of the enzyme on the basis of their midpoint potentials. The present commentary gives a brief overview of the literature concerning the rapid equilibrium model and the differences between the two enzyme forms. NADH is also discussed in terms of an alternative to xanthine or hypoxanthine as an electron donor.

Abstract
Isolated from bovine milk, xanthine oxidase (XO) and xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) are two interconvertible forms of the same protein, differing in the number of protein cysteines versus cystines. Most differences between XO and XDH are localized to the FAD center, the site at which the oxidizing substrates NAD and molecular oxygen react. A comparative study of the reduction of XO and XDH has been performed to assess differences in reactivity of the molybdopterin site, as well as subsequent electron-transfer events from molybdenum to 2Fe/2S and FAD centers. The compound 4-hydroxypyrimidine (4-OH-P) was chosen as reducing substrate because its higher Km value raised the possibility of binding weak enough to measure kinetically, and its high kcat value could allow detection of intramolecular electron-transfer reactions. As measured by stopped flow spectrophotometry, XO and XDH react with the first equivalent of 4-OH-P via similar mechanisms, differing in the magnitude of rate and dissociation constants. Using [2-2H]4-OH-P as substrate, a D(k/Kd) isotope effect of 1.9 to 2.3 suggests that movement of the hydrogen abstracted from substrate appreciably limits the rate of initial enzyme reduction from Mo(VI) to Mo(IV). Monitoring the visible spectrum of the enzymes, the first observed step is reduction of a single 2Fe/2S center and presumably re-oxidation of Mo(IV) to Mo(V). This suggests a common pathway for electron transfer involving reduction of a 2Fe/2S center prior to reduction of the second 2Fe/2S and FAD centers. Rates of the first electron transfer from molybdenum to the 2Fe/2S center are rapid, 290 s-1 with XO and 180 s-1 with XDH, and are consistent with rates measured by flash photolysis (Walker, M. C., Hazzard, J. T., Tollin, G., and Edmondson, D. E. (1991) Biochemistry 30, 5912-5917) allowing discrete observation of the electron-transfer reactions that occur during turnover. This step also exhibits a modest primary kinetic isotope effect of 1.5 to 1.6 when [2-2H]4-OH-P is used, possibly due to deprotonation of the molybdenum center prior to electron transfer. A second one-electron transfer, presumably oxidizing Mo(V) to Mo(VI), follows in a step coincident with product dissociation, consistent with a role for product release in controlling electron transfer events. The kinetics of this complex system are described and interpreted quantitatively in models that are consistent with all the data.

Abstract
Xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) and xanthine oxidase (XOD) are single-gene products that exist in separate but interconvertible forms. XOD utilizes hypoxanthine or xanthine as a substrate and O2 as a cofactor to produce superoxide (·O2 (-)) and uric acid. XDH acts on these same substrates but utilizes NAD as a cofactor to produce NADH instead of ·O2 (-) and uric acid. XOD has been proposed as a source of oxygen radicals in polymorphonuclear, endothelial, epithelial, and connective tissue cells. However, several questions remain about the physiological significance and functions of XOD on aging and oxidative stress. XOD is reported to play an important role in cellular oxidative status, detoxification of aldehydes, oxidative injury in ischemia-reperfusion, and neutrophil mediation. For example, XOD may serve as a messenger or mediator in the activation of neutrophil, T cell, cytokines, or transcription in defense mechanisms rather than as a free radical generator of tissue damage. Emerging evidence on the synergistic interactions of ·O2 (-), a toxic product of XOD and nitric oxide, may be another illustration of XOD involvement in tissue injury and cytotoxicity in an emergent condition such as ischemia or inflammation.

Abstract
Human xanthine oxidase was purified from breast milk. The dehydrogenase form of the enzyme, which predominates in most mammalian tissues, catalyses the oxidation of NADH by oxygen, generating superoxide anion significantly faster than does the oxidase form. The corresponding forms of bovine enzyme behave very similarly. The steady-state kinetics of NADH oxidation and superoxide production, including inhibition by NAD, by the dehydrogenase forms of both enzymes, are analysed in terms of a model involving two-stage recycling of oxidised enzyme. Established inhibitors of xanthine oxidoreductases (allopurinol oxypurinol, amflutizole and BOF 4272), which block all other reducing substrates, were ineffective in the case of NADH. Diphenyleneiodonium, on the other hand, was a powerful inhibitor of NADH oxidation. The potential involvement of reactive oxygen species arising from NADH oxidation by xanthine oxidoreductase in ischaemia-reperfusion injury and other disease states, as well as in normal signal transduction, is discusssed.

Abstract
Xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) from bovine milk contains significant activity in xanthine/oxygen turnover assays. The oxidative half-reaction of XDH with molecular oxygen has been studied in detail, at 25 degrees C, pH 7.5, to determine the basis of the preference of XDH for NAD over oxygen as oxidizing substrate. Spectral changes of XDH accompanying oxidation were followed by stopped-flow spectrophotometry. The amount of superoxide radicals formed during oxidation was investigated to assess the ability of XDH to catalyze production of oxygen radicals. Reduced XDH reacts with oxygen in at least 4 bi-molecular steps, with 1.7-1.9 mol of superoxide per mol of XDH formed from the last 2 electrons oxidized. A model is discussed in which the flavin hydroquinone transfers electrons to oxygen to produce hydrogen peroxide at a rate constant of at least 72,000 M-1 s-1, whereas flavin semiquinone reduces oxygen to form superoxide as slow as 16 M-1 s-1. Steady-state kinetics of xanthine/oxygen and NADH/oxygen turnover of XDH were determined to have kcat values of 2.1 +/- 0.1 and 2.5 +/- 0.9 s-1, respectively, at 25 degrees C, pH 7.5. XDH is therefore capable of catalyzing the formation of reduced oxygen species at one-third the rate of xanthine/NAD turnover, 6.3 s-1 (Hunt, J., and Massey, V. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 21479-21485), in the absence of NAD. As XDH contains a significant and intrinsic xanthine oxidase activity, estimates of relative amounts of XO and XDH based solely upon turnover assays must be made with caution. Initial-rate assays containing varying amounts of xanthine, NAD, and oxygen indicate that at 100% oxygen saturation, NADH formation is only inhibited at concentrations of xanthine and NAD below Km for each substrate.

Abstract
Xanthine dehydrogenase, a molybdenum, iron-sulfur flavoenzyme encoded in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster by the rosy gene, has been characterised both from the wild-type and mutant files. Enzyme assays, using a variety of different oxidising and reducing substrates were supplemented by limited molecular characterisation. Four rosy strains showed no detectable activity in any enzyme assay tried, whereas from four wild-type and three rosy mutant strains, those for the [E89K], [L127F] and [L157P]xanthine dehydrogenases (in all of which the mutation is in the iron-sulfur domain), the enzyme molecules, although present at different levels, had extremely similar or identical properties. This was confirmed by purification of one wild-type and one mutant enzyme. [E89K]xanthine dehydrogenase. These both had ultraviolet-visible absorption spectra similar to milk xanthine oxidase. Both were found to be quite stable molecules, showing very high catalytic-centre activities and with little tendency to become degraded by proteolysis or modified by conversion to oxidase or desulfo forms. In three further rosy strains, giving [G353D]xanthine dehydrogenase and [S357F]xanthine dehydrogenase mutated in the flavin domain, and [G1011E]xanthine dehydrogenase mutated in the molybdenum domain, enzyme activities were selectively diminished in certain assays. For the G353D and S357F mutant enzymes activities to NAD+ as oxidising substrate were diminished, to zero for the latter. In addition for [G353D]xanthine dehydrogenase, there was an increase in apparent Km values both for NAD+ and NADH. These findings indicate involvement of this part of the sequence in the NAD(+)-binding site. The G1011E mutation has a profound effect on the enzyme. As isolated and as present in crude extracts of the files, this xanthine dehydrogenase variant lacks activity to xanthine or pterin as reducing substrate, indicating an impairment of the functioning of its molybdenum centre. However, it retains full activity to NADH with dyes as oxidising substrate. Mild oxidation of the enzyme converts it, apparently irreversibly, to a form showing full activity to xanthine and pterin. The nature of the group that is oxidised is discussed in the light of redox potential data. It is proposed that the process involves oxidation of the pterin of the molybdenum cofactor from the tetrahydro to a dihydro oxidation state. This conclusion is fully consistent with recent information [Romäo, M. J., Archer, M., Moura, I., Moura. J.J.G., LeGall, J., Engh, R., Schneider, M., Hof, P. & Huber, R. (1995) Science 270. 1170-1176) from X-ray crystallography on the structure of a closely related enzyme from Desulfovibrio gigas. It is proposed, that apparent irreversibility of the oxidative activating process for [G1011E]xanthine dehydrogenase, is due to conversion of its pterin to the tricyclic derivative detected by these workers. The data thus provide the strongest evidence available, that the oxidation state of the pterin can have a controlling influence on the activity of a molybdenum cofactor enzyme. Implications regarding pterin incorporation into xanthine dehydrogenase and in relation to other molybdenum enzymes are discussed.

Abstract
Xanthine oxidoreductase is an enzyme which has the unusual property that it can exist in a dehydrogenase form which uses NAD+ and an oxidase form which uses oxygen as electron acceptor. Both forms have a high affinity for hypoxanthine and xanthine as substrates. In addition, conversion of one form to the other may occur under different conditions. The exact function of the enzyme is still unknown but it seems to play a role in purine catabolism, detoxification of xenobiotics and antioxidant capacity by producing urate. The oxidase form produces reactive oxygen species and, therefore, the enzyme is thought to be involved in various pathological processes such as tissue injury due to ischaemia followed by reperfusion, but its role is still a matter of debate. The present review summarizes information that has become available about the enzyme. Interpretations of contradictory findings are presented in order to reduce confusion that still exists with respect to the role of this enzyme in physiology and pathology.

Abstract
The amino acid sequence of chicken liver xanthine dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.204) was determined by cDNA cloning and partial amino acid sequencing of the purified enzyme. The enzyme consisted of 1358 amino acids with calculated molecular mass of 149,633 Da. In order to compare the structure of the chicken and rat enzymes, limited proteolysis was performed with the purified chicken liver xanthine dehydrogenase. When the enzyme was digested with subtilisin, it was not converted from the NAD-dependent dehydrogenase type to the O2-dependent oxidase type, in contrast with the mammalian enzyme. However, the enzyme was cleaved mainly into three fragments in a manner similar to that for the rat enzyme at pH 8.2 (20, 37, and 84 kDa) and retaining a full complement of redox centers. The cleavage sites were identified by determination of amino-terminal sequences of the produced fragments. It was concluded that the 20-kDa fragment was amino-terminal, the 84-kDa fragment carboxyl-terminal, and the 37-kDa fragment an intermediate portion in the enzyme protein. On the other hand, when the enzyme was digested with the same protease at pH 10.5, the sample contained only the 20- and 84-kDa portions and lacked the 37-kDa portion. The resultant sample possessed xanthine dichlorophenol indophenol reductase activity, indicating that the molybdenum center remained intact. The absorption spectrum showed the sample was very similar to deflavo-enzyme. From these results and sequence analyses, the domain structure of the enzyme is discussed.

Abstract
Phthalate dioxygenase reductase (PDR) is an electron transferase that contains FMN, which accepts a hydride from NADH, and a [2Fe-2S] center, which transfers electrons to phthalate dioxygenase. The reduction of PDR by NADH has been studied by stopped-flow spectroscopy. Data from studies using both portio- and deuterio-NADH were analyzed by nonlinear curve fitting and numerical simulation techniques. The results of these analyses indicate that the reductive half-reaction of PDR consists of five distinct kinetic phases: (a) NADH binds to form a primary Michaelis complex (MC-1) (Kd = 50 microM). (b) The enzyme undergoes a structural change (116 +/- 5 s-1) resulting in a charge-transfer complex (CT-1). (c) The next phase in the reaction shows a deuterium isotope effect of 7.0 when (4R)-[2H]NADH (NADD) is substituted for NADH, identifying this step as the one involving hydride transfer. The rate of hydride transfer from NADH to FMN is 70 s-1, and this process results in a charge-transfer intermediate between the flavin hydroquinone anion and NAD (CT). (d) Internal electron transfer from the flavin to the iron-sulfur center, which is only 35 +/- 4 s-1, then results in an intermediate consisting of a reduced [2Fe-2S] center and a neutral flavin semiquinone (SQ). It is surprising that this rate is so slow, since the shortest interatomic distance between these centers is only 4.7 A [Correll, C. C., et al. (1992) Science 258, 1604-1610]. The 2-electron-reduced form of PDR (SQ in Figure 1) binds weakly to the reaction product, NAD (Kd = 3.7 mM), but forms a tight complex with NADH (Kd = 10 microM). (e) Two molecules of the reduced iron-sulfur flavin semiquinone (SQ) form of PDR then undergo a relatively slow second-order disproportionation reaction, resulting in one molecule of 3-electron-reduced PDR and one molecule of 1-electron-reduced PDR. The latter reacts rapidly with excess NADH to form a 3-electron-reduced PDR.

Abstract
In a previous paper, we demonstrated that the medium-chain fatty acyl-CoA dehydrogenase-catalyzed (MCAD-catalyzed) reductive half-reaction of indolepropionyl-CoA proceeds via formation of a chromophoric intermediary species "X" (absorption maximum = 400 nm) and proposed that the decay of this species might limit the overall rate of the "oxidase" reaction [Johnson, J. K., & Srivastava, D. K. (1993) Biochemistry 32, 8004-8013]. During this latter reaction, the buffer-dissolved O2 served as an electron acceptor [Johnson, J. K., Wang, Z. X., & Srivastava, D. K. (1992) Biochemistry 31, 10564-10575]. To ascertain whether the intrinsic stability of X influences the oxidase activity, we undertook a detailed kinetic investigation of this enzyme at different pH values. The time-resolved spectra for the reductive half-reaction (obtained via the rapid-scanning stopped-flow method) at different pH values reveal that the amplitude of the intermediary (X) spectral band is more pronounced at a lower pH (pH 6.4) than at a higher pH (pH 9.0). Single-wavelength transient kinetic data for the reductive half-reaction (in both the forward and the reverse direction) at all pH values are consistent with fast (1/tau 1) and slow (1/tau 2) relaxation rate constants. Of these, whereas the fast relaxation rate constant for the reaction in the forward direction (1/tau 1f) decreases with an increase in pH, the corresponding slow relaxation rate constant (1/tau 2f) increases with an increase in pH. The pH-dependent steady-state kinetic data reveal that, like 1/tau 2f, kcat for the MCAD-catalyzed oxidase reaction increases with an increase in the pH of the buffer media.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Chick embryo hepatocytes, cultured in a chemically defined medium, were used to investigate hormonal requirements for xanthine-dehydrogenase induction and to determine whether the enzyme is phosphorylated. Triiodothyronine is found to be required to induce the synthesis of active enzyme. Inclusion of sodium tungstate in the medium resulted in the complete loss of enzyme activity but no decrease of immunochemically detectable levels of enzyme. Immunoprecipitated xanthine dehydrogenase from cell extracts migrates with enzyme purified from adult chicken liver on SDS/PAGE. Both the native 150-kDa subunit and the 130-kDa form of the enzyme is observed. N-terminal sequence analysis of the 150-kDa subunit shows the following; Ala-Pro-Pro-Glu-Thr-Gly-Asp-Glu-Leu-Val-Phe-Phe-Val-Asn-Gly-Lys-Lys-Val- Val which is similar to the published N-terminal sequences of rat, mouse and insect xanthine dehydrogenases. Autoradiography of denaturing gels of xanthine dehydrogenase isolated from 32P(i)-labeled hepatocytes demonstrates that the 150-kDa and the 130-kDa forms of the enzyme are phosphorylated. Chemical phosphate analysis of acid-precipitated, electrophoretically pure chicken liver xanthine dehydrogenase also shows the presence of covalently bound phosphate. Phosphoamino acid analysis of both 32P-labeled forms of the enzyme demonstrates the presence of phosphoserine. Thus, chicken liver xanthine dehydrogenase contains a phosphoserine residue as found previously in bovine milk xanthine oxidase [Davis, M. D., Edmondson, D. E. & Müller, F. (1984) Eur. J. Biochem. 145, 237-250].

Abstract
To verify the assumption of a specific and potent drug action on de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis, isolated dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHO-DH) (EC 1.3.3.1) was exposed to Brequinar Sodium (6-fluoro-2-(2'-fluoro-1,1'-biphenyl-4-yl)-3-methyl-4-quinoline carboxylic acid sodium salt, NSC 368 390) (Brequinar). The membrane-bound DHO-DH was purified to apparent homogeneity (25,000-fold) from rat liver mitochondria in six steps via detergent extraction and subsequent chromatography using the dye ligand Matrex Gel Orange A. Using molecular mechanistic studies (MM2) this ligand was found to mimic closely the stereochemical conformation of Brequinar. SDS-PAGE revealed two protein bands for the purified enzyme with apparent molecular masses of 58 (major) and 68 kDa (minor). In vitro, two modes of action of the DHO-DH are possible: (i) acting as a dehydrogenase in the presence of ubiquinone as proximal electron acceptor and (ii) direct reaction with oxygen as oxidase. A novel assay for the measurement of the oxidase activity was adapted using leuco-dichlorofluorescein-diacetate. Inhibition experiments revealed a striking difference in the susceptibility of DHO-dehydrogenase/oxidase to Brequinar: apparent Ki = 6.09 +/- 0.05 (SD) nM (DHO; ubiquinone n = 10), but Ki = 3.10 +/- 0.09 (SD) mM (DHO; O2). Analyses of initial velocity experiments showed non-competitive inhibition of Brequinar with respect to the substrate dihydroorotic acid in both assays (dehydrogenase and oxidase). The inhibitory effect of the latter was compared to that of the competitive inhibitor 5-aza-dihydroorotate (apparent Ki = 15 +/- 0.25 (SD) microM). The present kinetic data on the action of the purified rodent DHO-DH with Brequinar and computer-aided analyses provide a better insight into the drug-enzyme interaction.

Abstract
O2-inactivation of pyruvate:NADP+ oxidoreductase from mitochondria of Euglena gracilis was studied in vitro, and a mechanism which consists of two sequential stages was proposed. Initially, the enzyme is inactivated by the direct action of O2 in a process obeying second-order kinetics. Although the catalytic activity for pyruvate oxidation is lost by this initial inactivation, NADPH oxidation with artificial electron acceptors still occurs. Subsequently, a secondary, O2-independent inactivation occurs, rendering the enzyme completely inactive. Pyruvate stimulates the O2-inactivation while CoA and NADP+ protect the enzyme from O2. The O2-inactivation is accelerated by reduction of the enzyme with pyruvate and CoA. Reactivation of the O2-inactivated enzyme was studied in Ar by incubation with Fe2+ in the presence of some other reducing reagent such as dithiothreitol. The evidence obtained indicates that the partially inactivated enzyme, which retains catalytic activity for NADPH oxidation, can be reactivated, but the completely inactivated enzyme is not. When Euglena cells were exposed to 100% O2 the enzyme in the cells was inactivated by O2, but the rate was quite slow compared with that observed in vitro. The enzyme inactivated by O2 in the cells was almost completely reactivated in vitro by incubation with Fe2+ and other reducing reagents in Ar, suggesting that the secondary, O2-independent inactivation does not occur in situ. When the cells were returned to air, reactivation of the O2-inactivated enzyme in the cells began immediately. The enzyme, kept in isolated, intact mitochondria, was stable in air; however, the enzyme was inactivated by O2 when the mitochondria were incubated with a high concentration of pyruvate.

Abstract
1. Kinetic properties of xanthine:NAD+ oxidoreductase from liver of two uricotelic species of vertebrates (hen Gallus gallus and snake Natrix natrix) are compared. 2. Hen enzyme is saturated by hypoxanthine and xanthine at higher concentrations than the snake enzyme. For both species the enzyme-saturating concentration and hydroxylation rate of hypoxanthine are higher than those of xanthine, and the rate of uric acid production in the hypoxanthine----xanthine----uric acid reaction sequence is independent of the initial hypoxanthine concentration. 3. Km's for xanthine are the same, but Km for NAD+ of the hen enzyme is approximately 5-fold lower. The enzyme from both species is inhibited by NADH only slightly and at high non-physiological concentrations.
