Abstract
Advanced lipoxidation end products (ALEs) are formed by modifying proteins with lipid oxidation products. The health effects of ALEs formed in vivo have been extensively studied. However, the digestibility, safety, and health risk of ALEs in heat-processed foods remain unclear. This investigation was performed to determine the structure, digestibility, and effect on the mice liver of dietary ALEs. The results showed that malondialdehyde (MDA) was able to alter the structure of myofibrillar proteins (MPs) to form linear, loop, and cross-linked types of Schiff bases and dihydropyridine derivatives under simulated heat processing, leading to the intra- and intermolecular aggregation of MPs and, thus, reducing the digestibility of MPs. In addition, dietary ALE intake resulted in abnormal liver function and lipid accumulation in mice. The core reason for these adverse effects was the destructive effect of ALEs on the intestinal barrier. Because the damage to the intestinal barrier leads to an increase in lipopolysaccharide levels in the liver, it induces liver damage by modulating hepatic lipid metabolism.

Abstract
4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) is a reactive aldehyde produced by cells under conditions of oxidative stress, which has been shown to react with proteins and phosphatidylethanolamine in biological membranes. Using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy of a spin label it was demonstrated that 2 h of treatment with HNE causes membrane rigidity in promastigotes of Leishmania (L.) amazonensis, J774.A1 macrophages and erythrocytes. Remarkable fluidity-reducing effects on the parasite membrane were observed at HNE concentrations approximately 4-fold lower than in the case of erythrocyte and macrophage membranes. Autofluorescence of the parasites in PBS suspension (1 × 107 cell/mL) with excitation at 354 nm showed a linear increase of intensity in the range of 400 to 600 nm over 3 h after treatment with 30 μM HNE. Parasite ghosts prepared after this period of HNE treatment showed a high degree of membrane rigidity. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) in PBS treated with HNE for 2 h showed an increase in molecular dynamics and suffered a decrease in its ability to bind a lipid probe. In addition, the antiproliferative activity of L. amazonensis promastigotes, macrophage cytotoxicity and hemolytic potential were assessed for HNE. An IC50 of 24 μM was found, which was a concentration > 10 times lower than the cytotoxic and hemolytic concentrations of HNE. These results indicate that the action of HNE has high selectivity indices for the parasite as opposed to the macrophage and erythrocyte.

Abstract
The alpha-amino groups of histidine and lysine were derivatized with p-carboxylbenzyltriphenylphosphonium to form the pseudo dipeptides, PHis and PLys, which can be sensitively detected by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS) due to the fixed positive charge of the phosphonium group. Detection limits of PHis and PLys by MALDI-TOFMS were both 30 fmol with a signal-to-noise ratio of 5:1. These pseudo dipeptides were excellent surrogates for His- or Lys-containing peptides in model reactions mimicking proteins with reactive electrophiles, prominently those generated by peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids including 4-hydroxy-2(E)-nonenal (HNE), 4-oxo-2(E)-nonenal (ONE), 2(E)-octenal, and 2(E)-heptenal. An air-saturated solution of linoleic acid (d0:d5 = 1:1) was incubated in the presence of Fe(II) and ascorbate with these two pseudo dipeptides, and the reaction products were characterized by MALDI-TOFMS and liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS). By using PHis and PLys, the previously reported ONE-derived His-furan adduct was detected along with evidence for a cyclic alpha,beta-unsaturated ketone. A dimer formed from ONE was found to react with PHis through Michael addition. Alkenals were found to form two novel adducts with PLys. 2(E)-Octenoic acid-His Michael adduct and N(epsilon)-pentanoyllysine were identified as potential protein side-chain adducts modified by products of linoleic acid peroxidation. In addition, when PHis or PLys and AcHis or BocLys were exposed to the linoleic acid peroxidation, an epoxy-keto-ocatadecenoic acid mediated His-His cross-link was detected, along with the observation of a His-ONE/9,12-dioxo-10-dodecenoic acid-Lys derived pyrrole cross-link.

Abstract
The generation of free radicals and the resulting oxidative modification of cell structures are omnipresent in mammalian cells. This includes the permanent oxidation of proteins leading to the disruption of the protein structure and an impaired functionality. In consequence, these oxidized proteins have to be removed in order to prevent serious metabolic disturbances. The most important cellular proteolytic system responsible for the removal of oxidized proteins is the proteasomal system. For normal functioning, the proteasomal system needs the coordinated interaction of numerous components. This review describes the fundamental functions of the 20S "core" proteasome, its regulators, and the roles of the proteasomal system beyond the removal of oxidized proteins in mammalian cells.

Abstract
Modification of proteins in conditions of oxidative stress can contribute to protein dysfunction or tissue damage and disease progression. Bifunctional, most often alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds such as 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE), 4-oxo-2-nonenal (ONE), and acrolein, generated from oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), readily bind to protein nucleophiles. Modification by bifunctional aldehydes can also lead to intramolecular or intermolecular protein crosslinking. Model studies are revealing the structure of adducts that can then be more readily identified in mass spectrometric studies on proteins exposed to the various pure aldehydes or to peroxidized PUFAs. Although simple Michael and Schiff base adducts are often formed initially, only some of these adducts, such as the HNE- and ONE-derived Michael adducts on Cys and His residues, are found to survive the conditions of proteolysis and HPLC-MS analysis. Reversibly formed adducts, such as the HNE-Lys Michael adduct, can be found on proteolytic peptides only if a NaBH4-reduction step is used prior to proteolysis. Initial adducts can evolve by tautomerization, oxidation, cyclization, dehydration, and sometimes condensation with a second aldehyde molecule (the same or different), to give stable advanced lipoxidation end products (ALEs) that can be found by mass spectrometry. These include the HNE-Lys-derived 2-pentylpyrrole, the ONE-Lys-derived 4-ketoamide, the ONE-derived His-Lys pyrrole crosslink, and a Lys-derived 3-formyl-4-pentylpyrrole that results from combined action of ONE and acrolein. Michael adducts of alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes such as HNE and ONE can be derivatized by 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) and can thus constitute significant DNPH-detectable protein-bound carbonyl activity that serves as a key indicator of oxidative stress in tissues. It appears that lipid oxidation is a more important contributor to such activity than metal-catalyzed oxidation of protein side-chains.

Abstract
The low density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation hypothesis has generated considerable interest in oxidative stress and how it might affect atherosclerosis. However, the failure of antioxidants, particularly vitamin E, to affect the progression of the disease in humans has convinced even staunch supporters of the hypothesis to take a step backwards and reconsider alternatives. Preponderant evidence for the hypothesis came from animal antioxidant intervention studies. In this review we point out basic differences between animal and human atherosclerosis development and suggest that human disease starts where animal studies end. While initial oxidative steps in the generation of early fatty streak lesions might be common, the differences might be in the steps involved in the decomposition of peroxidized lipids into aldehydes and their further oxidation into carboxylic acids. We suggest that these steps may not be amenable to attenuation by antioxidants and antioxidants might actually counter the stabilization of plaque by preventing the formation of carboxylic acids which are anti-inflammatory in nature. The formation of such dicarboxylic acids may also be conducive to plaque stabilization by trapping calcium. We suggest that agents that would prevent the decomposition of lipid peroxides and promote the formation and removal of lipid hydroxides, such as paraoxonase (PON 1) or apo A1/high density lipoprotein (HDL) might be more conducive to plaque regression.

Abstract
4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) is a highly toxic product of lipid peroxidation (LPO). Its role in the inhibition of cytochrome c oxidase activity and oxidative modifications of mitochondrial lipids and proteins were investigated. The exposure of mitochondria isolated from rat heart to HNE resulted in a time- and concentration-dependent inhibition of cytochrome c oxidase activity with an IC50 value of 8.3 +/- 1.0 microM. Immunoprecipitation-Western blot analysis showed the formation of HNE adducts with cytochrome c oxidase subunit I. The loss of cytochrome c oxidase activity was also accompanied by reduced thiol group content and increased HNE-lysine fluorescence. Furthermore, there was a marked increase in conjugated diene formation indicating LPO induction by HNE. Fluorescence measurements revealed the formation of bityrosines and increased surface hydrophobicity of HNE-treated mitochondrial membranes. Superoxide dismutase + catalase and the HO* radical scavenger mannitol partially prevented inhibition of cytochrome c oxidase activity and formation of bityrosines. These findings suggest that HNE induces formation of reactive oxygen species and its damaging effect on mitochondria involves both formation of HNE-protein adducts and oxidation of membrane lipids and proteins by free radicals.

Abstract
Reactive carbonyl compounds (RCCs) formed during lipid peroxidation and sugar glycoxidation, namely Advanced lipid peroxidation end products (ALEs) and Advanced Glycation end products (AGEs), accumulate with ageing and oxidative stress-related diseases, such as atherosclerosis, diabetes or neurodegenerative diseases. RCCs induce the 'carbonyl stress' characterized by the formation of adducts and cross-links on proteins, which progressively leads to impaired protein function and damages in all tissues, and pathological consequences including cell dysfunction, inflammatory response and apoptosis. The prevention of carbonyl stress involves the use of free radical scavengers and antioxidants that prevent the generation of lipid peroxidation products, but are inefficient on pre-formed RCCs. Conversely, carbonyl scavengers prevent carbonyl stress by inhibiting the formation of protein cross-links. While a large variety of AGE inhibitors has been developed, only few carbonyl scavengers have been tested on ALE-mediated effects. This review summarizes the signalling properties of ALEs and ALE-precursors, their role in the pathogenesis of oxidative stress-associated diseases, and the different agents efficient in neutralizing ALEs effects in vitro and in vivo. The generation of drugs sharing both antioxidant and carbonyl scavenger properties represents a new therapeutic challenge in the treatment of carbonyl stress-associated diseases.

Abstract
An assessment of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH)-detectable protein-based carbonyls is one of the most common assays used to quantify oxidative stress in vitro and in vivo. In this study, we compared, for the lipid-binding protein beta-lactoglobulin, the extent to which carbonyl reactivity could be introduced by adventitious metal-catalyzed oxidation (MCO) in the absence and presence of a polyunsaturated lipid or by treatment with various individual bifunctional lipid oxidation products capable of introducing carbonyls into proteins by adduction to nucleophilic side chains. With metal ions and either O2/reductant or H2O2 as the terminal oxidant, the maximal level of DNPH-detectable carbonyl generation obtainable in several hours was 0.1-0.2 mol carbonyl per mol protein monomer, with Cu(II) being more effective than Fe(II). Exposure instead to bifunctional lipoxidation-derived aldehydes (1-2 mM) generated in some cases in excess of 1 mol carbonyl per mol protein. The rank order of carbonyl incorporation reactivity was acrolein > 4-oxo-2-nonenal > 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal > 2,4-decadienal > malondialdehyde. Protein cross-linking ability followed a somewhat different rank order. Parallel studies on reductively methylated beta-lactoglobulin revealed that His and Cys residues are intrinsically more responsible than Lys residues for carbonyl appearance and that the availability of Lys residues accounts for the reduction of carbonyl content at later time (presumably reflecting cross-linking chemistry) that occurs for acrolein and 4-oxo-2-nonenal. Overall, these results suggest that DNPH reactivity observed physiologically on nonmetalloproteins may arise more from the attachment of lipid-derived products of oxidative stress than from adventitious MCO of side chains. Additional studies carried out to clarify the potential use of DNPH derivatization to tag peptide-based carbonyls for mass spectrometric analysis revealed that DNPH derivatization can reverse under the conditions used for proteolysis.

Abstract
Hydralazine strongly suppresses the toxicity of acrolein, a reactive aldehyde that contributes to numerous health disorders. At least two mechanisms may underlie the cytoprotection, both of which involve the nucleophilic hydrazine possessed by hydralazine. Under the simplest scenario, hydralazine directly scavenges free acrolein, decreasing intracellular acrolein availability and thereby suppressing macromolecular adduction. In a second "adduct-trapping" mechanism, the drug forms hydrazones with acrolein-derived Michael adducts in cell proteins, preventing secondary reactions of adducted proteins that may trigger cell death. To identify the most important mechanism, we explored these two pathways in mouse hepatocytes poisoned with the acrolein precursor allyl alcohol. Intense concentration-dependent adduct-trapping in cell proteins accompanied the suppression of toxicity by hydralazine. However, protective concentrations of hydralazine did not alter extracellular free acrolein levels, cellular glutathione loss, or protein carbonylation, suggesting that the cytoprotection is not due to minimization of intracellular acrolein availability. To explore ways whereby adduct-trapping might confer cytoprotection, the effect of hydralazine on acrolein-induced protein cross-linking was examined. Using bovine pancreas ribonuclease A as a model protein, acrolein caused rapid time- and concentration-dependent cross-linking, with dimerized protein detectable within 45 min of commencing protein modification. Lysine adduction in monomeric protein preceded the appearance of oligomers, whereas reductive methylation of protein amine groups abolished both adduction and oligomerization. Hydralazine inhibited cross-linking if added 30 min after commencing acrolein exposure but was ineffective if added after a 90-min delay. Adduct-trapping closely accompanied the inhibition of cross-linking by hydralazine. These findings suggest that cross-link blocking may contribute to hydralazine cytoprotection.

Abstract
Caenorhabditis elegans expresses a glutathione transferase (GST) belonging to the Pi class, for which we propose the name CeGSTP2-2. CeGSTP2-2 (the product of the gst-10 gene) has the ability to conjugate the lipid peroxidation product 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE). Transgenic C. elegans strains were generated in which the 5'-flanking region and promoter of gst-10 were placed upstream of gst-10 and mGsta4 cDNAs, respectively. mGsta4 encodes the murine mGSTA4-4, an enzyme with particularly high catalytic efficiency for 4-HNE. The localization of both transgenes was similar to that of native CeGSTP2-2. The 4-HNE-conjugating activity in worm lysates increased in the order: control<mGsta4 transgenic<gst-10 transgenic; and the amount of 4-HNE-protein adducts decreased in the same order, indicating that the transgenic enzymes were active and effective in limiting electrophilic damage by 4-HNE. Stress resistance and lifespan were measured in transgenic animals (five independent lines each) and were compared with two independent control lines. Resistance to paraquat, heat shock, ultraviolet irradiation and hydrogen peroxide was greater in transgenic strains. Median lifespan of mGsta4 and gst-10 transgenic strains vs. control strains was increased by 13% and 22%, respectively. In addition to the cause-effect relationship between GST expression and lifespan observed in the transgenic lines, correlative evidence was also obtained in a series of congenic lines of C. elegans in which lifespan paralleled the 4-HNE-conjugating activity in whole-animal lysates. We conclude that electrophilic damage by 4-HNE may contribute to organismal aging.

Abstract
Hemoglobin (Hb) adducts have long been used as dosimeters of exposure to xenobiotics and endogenously formed reactive metabolites. In this study, hemoglobin chains were separated from each other and their prosthetic heme groups and reacted with 4-oxo-2-nonenal, a major breakdown product of lipid hydroperoxides. The adducts were characterized by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/MS) analysis of the intact proteins and by a combination of liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization/tandem MS (MS/MS) and MALDI-TOF/MS/MS analysis of the tryptic peptides. Covalent modifications were found on both hemoglobin chains. The location was determined to be on H20 of the alpha-hemoglobin chain and on H(63) of the beta-hemoglobin chain. Molecular modeling revealed that these two residues were two most solvent accessible H residues present in intact Hb. The proposed reaction mechanism is based on that described for the reaction of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal with proteins. Initial nucleophilic Michael addition is followed by hydration of the resulting aldehyde, cyclization, and two sequential dehydration reactions to give stable furan derivatives. This results in the addition of 136 Da from 4-oxo-2-nonenal to give adducts corresponding to (17)VGAH(.) AGEYGAEALER(31) from alpha-hemoglobin and (62)AH(.) GK(65) from beta-hemoglobin. These hemoglobin modifications can potentially serve as biomarkers of lipid hydroperoxide-mediated macromolecule damage and may reflect an indirect measurement of the potential for DNA damage in vivo.

Abstract
Collagen crosslinking during aging in part results from Maillard reaction endproducts of glucose and oxoaldehydes. Because of the tight link between oxidative and carbonyl stress, we hypothesized that natural antioxidants and "nutriceuticals" could block collagen aging in C57BL/6 mice. Six groups of young and adult mice received vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin C&E, blueberry, green tea extract (GTE), or no treatment for a period of 14 weeks. Body weights and collagen glycation were unaltered by the treatment. However, GTE or vitamin C&E combined blocked tendon crosslinking at 10 months of age (p < 0.05, adult group). GTE also blocked fluorescent products at 385 and 440 nm (p = 0.052 and < 0.05, respectively) and tended to decrease skin pentosidine levels. These results suggest that green tea is able to delay collagen aging by an antioxidant mechanism that is in part duplicated by the combination of vitamin C and E.

Abstract
Acrolein is a highly reactive alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehyde that readily alkylates nucleophilic centers in cell macromolecules. Typically, such reactions proceed via Michael addition chemistry, forming adducts that retain an electrophilic carbonyl group. Since these species participate in secondary deleterious reactions, we hypothesize that inactivation of carbonyl adducts may attenuate acrolein toxicity. Indeed, we recently established that the nucleophilic antihypertensive drug hydralazine readily "traps" acrolein adducts in cell proteins and strongly suppresses acrolein-mediated toxicity in isolated hepatocytes. This work sought to determine whether hydralazine prevents the in vivo hepatotoxicity of the acrolein precursor allyl alcohol in whole mice and whether adduct trapping accompanies any such hepatoprotection. Mice received allyl alcohol alone or in conjunction with several doses of hydralazine. Four hours later, mice were sacrificed to allow for the determination of liver enzymes in plasma as markers of hepatic injury, whereas livers were assessed for glutathione and hydralazine-stabilized protein adducts. Hydralazine afforded strong, dose-dependent protection against the increases in plasma marker enzymes but not the hepatic glutathione depletion produced by allyl alcohol. Western blotting revealed intense, dose-dependent adduct trapping by hydralazine in numerous liver proteins over a broad 26- to 200-kDA mass range. In keeping with these findings, immunohistochemical analysis of liver slices indicated diffuse, extranuclear adduct trapping by hydralazine that was uniformly distributed across the liver lobule, with partial localization in parenchymal cell membranes. These findings concur with our hypothesis that hydralazine readily inactivates reactive carbonyl-retaining protein adducts formed by acrolein, thereby preventing secondary reactions that trigger cellular death.

Abstract
(E)-4-Hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) is a highly cytotoxic aldehyde generated during peroxidation of lipids, which induces modification and aggregation of low-density lipoproteins and has been found to elicit covalent cross-linking of proteins. Carnosine was previously shown to trap HNE. Results presented here provide evidence that by trapping HNE in stable covalent adducts, carnosine can inhibit HNE-induced protein cross-linking. This trapping effect may be augmented by carnosine-chelating trace transition metal ions that promote oxidative HNE-induced cross-linking. Adducts formed in the reaction of HNE with carnosine have been isolated and structurally characterized. The main carnosine-HNE adduct is shown to be a 13-member cyclic adduct formed through initial Schiff base formation followed by conjugate addition of the imidazole group.

Abstract
Malondialdehyde, acetaldehyde, acrolein, and 4-hydroxynonenal are all products of fatty acid oxidation found in the fatty streaks of atherosclerotic arteries due to a lack of antioxidants and an increase in glycation products. Previously identified cross-links derived from these molecules have nearly always required more than one molecule of each type, although this is physiologically less likely than a reaction involving a single molecule. Here we provide indirect but strong evidence for a malondialdehyde-derived cross-link requiring just one malondialdehyde molecule to link arginine and lysine, giving 2-ornithinyl-4-methyl(1epsilon-lysyl)1,3-imidazole following a 4-day incubation of albumin with 8 mm malondialdehyde. This cross-link was identified as its partial degradation product Nepsilon-(2-carboxyl,2-aminoethane)-Nepsilon-methanoyl-lysine by NMR and mass spectrometry. Analysis of plasma from treated diabetic patients revealed that one patient levels had as high as 0.46%, 0.67% of their lysine/arginine residues modified by this cross-link, although others had lower levels. Alkaline hydrolysis of serum albumin also revealed two acid-labile malondialdehyde adducts of histidine in significant quantities, the isomers 4- and 2-ethylidene-histidine. These constituted up to 0.93% of the histidines in treated diabetic patients. Although collagen is readily cross-linked by malondialdehyde, none of these particular products could be found in incubations of collagen with malondialdehyde.

Abstract
2-Hydroxyheptanal (2-HH) is one of the reactive aldehyde species generated during the peroxidation of n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as linoleic and arachidonic acids. Analogous to the Maillard reaction of reducing sugars, 2-HH readily reacts with lysine epsilon-amino groups. In the present study, to define the occurrence of the Maillard reaction-like lysine modification by 2-HH in vivo, we raised a monoclonal antibody directed to a trihydropyridinone (THPO) structure, 1-alkyl-4-butyl-5-pentyl-1,2,6-trihydropyridin-3-one, formed from 2-HH and lysine, and examined the presence of the antigenic structure in the human atherosclerotic aorta. Mice were immunized with the 2-HH-modified keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) as the immunogen. Using a THPO-carrier protein conjugate, we screened the hybridomas and finally obtained a clone that produced the monoclonal antibody 3C8 (mAb3C8). The antibody strongly recognized bovine serum albumin (BSA) treated with 2-HH, but showed no cross-reactivity with BSAs modified with other related aldehydes. By using this antibody, it was revealed that the antigenic structure was indeed present in atherosclerotic lesions of the human aorta.

Abstract
2-Hydroxyheptanal (2-HH) is one of the major aldehydes derived from peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. In the present study, to obtain an insight into the contributions of 2-HH to protein modifications during lipid peroxidation, a lysine-containing dipeptide, N(alpha)-hippuryllysine (N-benzoylglycyl-L-lysine, BGL), was reacted with 2-HH at neutral pH. The products were characterized on the basis of LC/MS and NMR spectroscopy. The reaction afforded a 2:1 2-HH-lysine adduct, 1-[5-(N-benzoylglycylamino)-5-carboxypentyl]-4-butyl-5-pentyl-1,2,6-trihydropyridin-3-one (I). In addition, we obtained a 1:1 2-HH-lysine adduct, N-[5-(N-benzoylglycylamino)-5-carboxypentyl]-1-amino-2-heptanone (III). The treatment of the purified III with 2-HH produced I. On the other hand, when the reaction mixture was allowed prolonged standing, I was slowly oxidized to 1-[5-(N-benzoylglycylamino)-5-carboxypentyl]-4-butyl-5-pentyl-3-hydroxypyridinium (V). This conversion was strongly accelerated by the addition of copper(II) ion and 2,2'-bipyridyl. We propose here that the above series of conversions is the main pathway for the modification of lysine residues of proteins by 2-HH.

Abstract
The modification of proteins by 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) and 4-oxo-2-nonenal (ONE) was investigated using mass spectroscopic approaches. Electrospray ionization MS analysis of HNE- and ONE-treated myoglobin and apomyoglobin revealed that the latter more "open" protein structure resulted in more extensive modification. Reductive methylation of Lys residues halved the extent of modification, implicating the importance of adduction of HNE and ONE to both His and Lys residues. HPLC-MS/MS analysis of tryptic and chymotryptic peptides of HNE- or ONE-adducted apomyoglobin was aided by the knowledge of structures previously elucidated through model reactions. In the case of HNE, the adducts detected were the HNE-His Michael adduct (on H24, H36, H64, and H113), its dehydrated form (on H36), and the HNE-Lys pyrrole adduct (on K16, K42, K45, K145, and K147). In the case of the more reactive ONE, the adducts detected were the ONE-His Michael adduct (on H24), the ONE-Lys pyrrolinone adduct (on K16 and K145), and the ONE-His-Lys pyrrole cross-link (linking K16 to H24 in the C(5) peptide). Although previous analyses of tryptic peptides yielded findings about the nature of His modification, the current chymotryptic peptide analysis produced the first structural characterization of Lys modification on intact proteins by HNE and ONE using mass spectrometry.

Abstract
trans-4-Oxo-2-nonenal (ONE) has recently been demonstrated to be a direct product of lipid peroxidation. In earlier studies to elucidate the structure of the trans-4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE)-derived fluorescent Lys-Lys cross-link, we showed that ONE was capable of both oxidative and nonoxidative cross-linking of amines. A more comprehensive study on nonoxidative modification of protein nucleophiles by ONE is described here, focusing on the initial Michael addition of imidazole, thiol, and amine groups to C2 or C3 to give 4-keto aldehydes that can then condense with amines to form nucleophile-substituted pyrroles. 2,3-Substituted pyrroles (major) and 2,4-substituted pyrroles (minor) were distinguished by 2D NMR techniques, and N(tau)-substitution is preferred over N(pi)-substitution in the Michael addition of histidine. Mechanisms of both nonoxidative and oxidative side chain reactions of ONE are discussed, as is the relative propensity (ONE > HNE) to induce cross-linking of the model proteins ribonuclease A and beta-lactoglobulin.

Abstract
Protein crosslinking via the Maillard reaction with alpha-dicarbonyl compounds has been the subject of intense literature scrutiny. We report here a systematic study of three previously-neglected aspects of the reaction. Firstly, structural requirements were probed. An arginine-free peptide that contains two lysine residues, and a lysine-free peptide that contains arginine, were reacted with glyoxal, methylglyoxal and biacetyl. Methylglyoxal was able to crosslink in the absence of arginine residues, but glyoxal and biacetyl were not. Glyoxal crosslinked the lysine-free peptide via the N-terminus, but methylglyoxal and biacetyl could not. In this study, crosslinking did not require the presence of arginine but did require a free amino group, from a lysine residue, or the N-terminus. Thus specificity in structural requirements for protein crosslinking by alpha-dicarbonyls has been demonstrated. Secondly, protein function following glycation was examined by treating ribonuclease A with the three alpha-dicarbonyls, which were shown both to crosslink the enzyme and impair enzymatic activity. Thirdly, the effects of two reported Maillard reaction inhibitors, aminoguanidine and 3,5-dimethylpyrazole-1-carboxamidine on the crosslinking reaction were assessed, with a parallel measurement of the effect on enzyme activity. The results demonstrate that preventing protein crosslinking does not necessarily preserve enzyme activity. These results cast doubt on the likely efficacy of some purported anti-ageing compounds in vivo.

Abstract
Oxidation of plasma low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) generates the lipid peroxidation product 4-hydroxy-2 nonenal (HNE) and also reduces proteolytic degradation of oxLDL and other proteins internalized by mouse peritoneal macrophages in culture. This leads to accumulation of undegraded material in lysosomes and formation of ceroid, a component of foam cells in atherosclerotic lesions. To explore the possibility that HNE contributes directly to the inactivation of proteases, structure-function studies of the lysosomal protease cathepsin B have been pursued. We found that treatment of mouse macrophages with HNE reduces degradation of internalized maleyl bovine serine albumin and cathepsin B activity. Purified bovine cathepsin B treated briefly with 15 microM HNE lost approximately 76% of its protease activity and also developed immunoreactivity with antibodies to HNE adducts in Western blot analysis. After stabilization of the potential Michael adducts by sodium borohydride reduction, modified amino acids were localized within the bovine cathepsin B protein structure by mass spectrometric analysis of tryptic peptides. Michael adducts were identified by tandem mass spectrometry at cathepsin B active site residues Cys 29 (mature A chain) and His 150 (mature B chain). Thus, covalent interaction between HNE and critical active site residues inactivates cathepsin B. These results support the hypothesis that the accumulation of undegraded macromolecules in lysosomes after oxidative damage are caused in part by direct protease inactivation by adduct formation with lipid peroxidation products such as HNE.

Abstract
Protein adducts of the lipid peroxidation product trans-4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) are features of oxidative damage in neuronal cell bodies in Alzheimer's disease but are also seen in axons of normal as well as diseased individuals. In this study, focusing on the axons of the mouse sciatic nerve, we found that HNE adducts characterize axons of mice from birth to senility. Immunoblots of axonal proteins showed that HNE adducts are only detected in neurofilament heavy subunit (NFH) and, to a lesser extent, neurofilament medium subunit (NFM), both lysine-rich proteins, consistent with the adducts being limited to lysine residues. In vitro, HNE treatment of permeabilized sciatic nerve showed the same specificity, i.e. NFH and NFM are the only proteins that reacted with HNE, providing they are phosphorylated. Quantitative immunoblot analysis of two strains of mice ages 1-33 months showed that the levels of HNE adducts on NFH are consistent throughout life. Additionally, mice transgenic for human superoxide dismutase-1 with G85R mutation show no difference in HNE adduction to NFH compared with controls. Taken together, these studies indicate that HNE adduction to NFH is physiological, and its constancy from birth to senility as well as its dependence on phosphorylation argues that NFH and NFM modification may play a role in protecting the membrane-rich axon from toxic aldehydes resulting from oxidative damage.

Abstract
It has been suggested that protein modifications by malondialdehyde (MDA), a major product of lipid peroxidation, contribute to the fluorescence formation of lipofuscin. Although early studies proposed an aminoenimine structure (RNHCH=CHCH=NR) formed from MDA and the epsilon-amino groups of the lysine residues for the fluorophores, there has been considerable doubt as to whether the aminoenimine is fluorescent. To date, however, there is no conclusive evidence that the aminoenimine is nonfluorescent. This is because that it has not yet been isolated. In this study, we succeeded in isolating an aminoenimine, N,N'-bis[5-(tert-butoxycarboxamido)-5-carboxypentyl]-1-amino-3-iminopropene [(Boc-Lys)(2)MDA], formed from the reaction of MDA with a lysine derivative, N(alpha)-tert-butoxycarbonyl-L-lysine (Boc-Lys), at neutral pH, and confirmed that the purified (Boc-Lys)(2)MDA exhibited no fluorescence. This result demonstrates that aminoenimines formed from MDA and lysine residues do not contribute to the fluorescence formation of lipofuscin.
