Quantification of carbonate radical formation by the bicarbonate-dependent peroxidase activity of superoxide dismutase 1 using pyrogallol red bleaching. Redox Biol 2019; 24:101207. [PMID: 31102971 PMCID: PMC6523824 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2019.101207] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2019] [Revised: 04/17/2019] [Accepted: 04/23/2019] [Indexed: 01/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Carbonate radicals (CO3•-) are generated by the bicarbonate-dependent peroxidase activity of cytosolic superoxide dismutase (Cu,Zn-SOD, SOD-1). The present work explored the use of bleaching of pyrogallol red (PGR) dye to quantify the rate of CO3•- formation from bovine and human SOD-1 (bSOD-1 and hSOD-1, respectively). This approach was compared to previously reported methods using electron paramagnetic resonance spin trapping with DMPO, and the oxidation of ABTS (2,2-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline)-6-sulfonic acid). The kinetics of PGR consumption elicited by CO3•- was followed by visible spectrophotometry. Solutions containing PGR (5–200 μM), SOD-1 (0.3–3 μM), H2O2 (2 mM) in bicarbonate buffer (200 mM, pH 7.4) showed a rapid loss of the PGR absorption band centered at 540 nm. The initial consumption rate (Ri) gave values independent of the initial PGR concentration allowing an estimate to be made of the rate of CO3•- release of 24.6 ± 4.3 μM min−1 for 3 μM bSOD-1. Both bSOD-1 and hSOD-1 showed a similar peroxidase activity, with enzymatic inactivation occurring over a period of 20 min. The single Trp residue (Trp32) present in hSOD-1 was rapidly consumed (initial consumption rate 1.2 ± 0.1 μM min−1) with this occurring more rapidly than hSOD-1 inactivation, suggesting that these processes are not directly related. Added free Trp was rapidly oxidized in competition with PGR. These data indicate that PGR reacts rapidly and efficiently with CO3•- resulting from the peroxidase activity of SOD-1, and that PGR-bleaching is a simple, fast and cheap method to quantify CO3•- release from bSOD-1 and hSOD-1 peroxidase activity. CO3•- are released during the bicarbonate-dependent peroxidase activity of SOD-1. The rate and extent of CO3•- release can be determined by pyrogallol red bleaching. Inactivation of bSOD-1 and hSOD-1 occurs rapidly during the reaction. SOD-1 inactivation is independent of the presence of pyrogallol red. This assay should help elucidate protein oxidation/crosslinking mediated by SOD-1.

Abstract
Shared molecular pathologies between distinct neurodegenerative disorders offer unique opportunities to identify common mechanisms of neuron death, and apply lessons learned from one disease to another. Neurotoxic superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) proteinopathy in SOD1-associated familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (fALS) is recapitulated in idiopathic Parkinson disease (PD), suggesting that these two phenotypically distinct disorders share an etiological pathway, and tractable therapeutic target(s). Despite 25 years of research, the molecular determinants underlying SOD1 misfolding and toxicity in fALS remain poorly understood. The absence of SOD1 mutations in PD highlights mounting evidence that SOD1 mutations are not the sole cause of SOD1 protein misfolding occasioning oligomerization and toxicity, reinforcing the importance of non-genetic factors, including protein metallation and post-translational modification in determining SOD1 stability and function. We propose that these non-genetic factors underlie the misfolding and dysfunction of SOD1 and other proteins in both PD and fALS, constituting a shared and tractable pathway to neurodegeneration.

Abstract
Recently, mutations in copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1) have been linked to familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (fALS), a progressive neurodegenerative disease involving motor neuron loss, paralysis and death. It is mainly due to protein misfolding and aggregation resulting from the enhanced peroxidase activity of SOD1 mutants. In this study, we have carried out a 20 ns molecular dynamics simulation for wild type (WT), H43R and W32F mutated SOD1's dimer and compared their structure and conformational properties by extracting several quantitative properties from the trajectory to understand the pathology of fALS disease. Our results show considerable differences in H43R compared to WT and W32F mutated SOD1, such as increasing distances between the critical residues results in open conformation at the active site, strong fluctuations in the important loops (Zinc and electrostatic loops) and weakening of important hydrogen bonds especially between N (His 43/Arg 43) and carbonyl oxygen (His 120) in agreement with the experimental report. The calculated buried surface area of dimer interface for WT, H43R and W32F are 682, 726 and 657 Å(2) respectively, representing the loss of dimerization in H43R. Essential dynamics reveal that overall motions of WT and W32F are mainly involved in three to four eigenvectors, but in H43R the overall motions are mainly in the first eigenvector. These data thus provide a unifying description for the structural destabilization, enhanced peroxidase activity, loss of dismutation activity and increase in aggregation propensity in the pathology of fALS diseases.

Abstract
We have investigated the effect of NaHCO3 on menadione redox cycling and cytotoxicity. A cell-free system utilized menadione and ascorbic acid to catalyze a redox cycle, and we utilized murine hepatoma (Hepa 1c1c7) cells for in vitro experiments. Experiments were performed using low (2 mmol/L) and physiological (25 mmol/L) levels of NaHCO3 in buffer equilibrated to physiological pH. Using oximetry, ascorbic acid oxidation, and ascorbyl radical detection, we found that menadione redox cycling was enhanced by NaHCO3. Furthermore, Hepa 1c1c7 cells treated with menadione demonstrated cytotoxicity that was significantly increased with physiological concentrations of NaHCO3 in the media, compared with low levels of NaHCO3. Interestingly, the inhibition of superoxide dismutase (SOD) with 2 different metal chelators was associated with a protective effect against menadione cytotoxicity. Using isolated protein, we found a significant increase in protein carbonyls with menadione-ascorbate-SOD with physiological NaHCO3 levels; low NaHCO3 or SOD-free reactions produced lower levels of protein carbonyls. In conclusion, these findings suggest that the hydrogen peroxide generated by menadione redox cycling together with NaHCO3-CO2 are potential substrates for SOD peroxidase activity that can lead to carbonate-radical-enhanced cytotoxicity. These findings demonstrate the importance of NaHCO3 in menadione redox cycling and cytotoxicity.

Abstract
In endothelial cell dysfunction, the uncoupling of eNOS results in higher superoxide (O(2)(•-)) and lower NO production and a reduction in NO availability. Superoxide reacts with NO to form a potent oxidizing agent peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)) resulting in nitrosative and nitroxidative stresses and dismutates to form hydrogen peroxide. Studies have shown superoxide dismutase (SOD) plays an important role in reduction of O(2)(•-) and ONOO(-) during eNOS uncoupling. However, the administration or over-expression of SOD was ineffective or displayed deleterious effects in some cases. An understanding of interactions of the two enzyme systems eNOS and SOD is important in determining endothelial cell function. We analyzed complex biochemical interactions involving eNOS and SOD in eNOS uncoupling. A computational model of biochemical pathway of the eNOS-related NO and O(2)(•-) production and downstream reactions involving NO, O(2)(•-), ONOO(-), H(2)O(2) and SOD was developed. The effects of SOD concentration on the concentration profiles of NO, O(2)(•-), ONOO(-) and H(2)O(2) in eNOS coupling/uncoupling were investigated. The results include (i) SOD moderately improves NO production and concentration during eNOS uncoupling, (ii) O(2)(•-) production rate is independent of SOD concentration, (iii) Increase in SOD concentration from 0.1 to 100 μM reduces O(2)(•-) concentration by 90% at all [BH(4)]/[TBP] ratios, (iv) SOD reduces ONOO(-) concentration and increases H(2)O(2) concentration during eNOS uncoupling, (v) Catalase can reduce H(2)O(2) concentration and (vi) Dismutation rate by SOD is the most sensitive parameter during eNOS uncoupling. Thus, SOD plays a dual role in eNOS uncoupling as an attenuator of nitrosative/nitroxidative stress and an augmenter of oxidative stress.

Abstract
Copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD) is of fundamental importance to our understanding of oxidative damage. Its primary function is catalysing the dismutation of superoxide to O(2) and H(2)O(2). SOD also reacts with H(2)O(2), leading to the formation of a strong copper-bound oxidant species that can either inactivate the enzyme or oxidise other substrates. In the presence of bicarbonate (or CO(2)) and H(2)O(2), this peroxidase activity is enhanced and produces the carbonate radical. This freely diffusible reactive oxygen species is proposed as the agent for oxidation of large substrates that are too bulky to enter the active site. Here, we provide direct structural evidence, from a 2.15 Å resolution crystal structure, of (bi)carbonate captured at the active site of reduced SOD, consistent with the view that a bound carbonate intermediate could be formed, producing a diffusible carbonate radical upon reoxidation of copper. The bound carbonate blocks direct access of substrates to Cu(I), suggesting that an adjunct to the accepted mechanism of SOD catalysed dismutation of superoxide operates, with Cu(I) oxidation by superoxide being driven via a proton-coupled electron transfer mechanism involving the bound carbonate rather than the solvent. Carbonate is captured in a different site when SOD is oxidised, being located in the active site channel adjacent to the catalytically important Arg143. This is the probable route of diffusion from the active site following reoxidation of the copper. In this position, the carbonate is poised for re-entry into the active site and binding to the reduced copper.

Abstract
Kinetic evidence is reported for the role of the peroxymonocarbonate, HOOCO(2)(-), as an oxidant for reduced Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase-Cu(I) (SOD1) during the peroxidase activity of the enzyme. The formation of this reactive oxygen species results from the equilibrium between hydrogen peroxide and bicarbonate. Recently, peroxymonocarbonate has been proposed to be a key substrate for reduced SOD1 and has been shown to oxidize SOD1-Cu(I) to SOD1-Cu(II) much faster than H(2)O(2). We have reinvestigated the kinetics of the reaction between SOD1-Cu(I) and HOOCO(2)(-) by using conventional stopped-flow spectrophotometry and obtained a second-order rate constant of k=1600±100M(-1)s(-1) for SOD1-Cu(I) oxidation by HOOCO(2)(-). Our results demonstrate that peroxymonocarbonate oxidizes SOD1-Cu(I) to SOD1-Cu(II) and is in turn reduced to the carbonate anion radical. It is proposed that the dissociation of His61 from the active site Cu(I) in SOD-Cu(I) contributes to this chemistry by facilitating the binding of larger anions, such as peroxymonocarbonate.
