Abstract
Cysteine thiols are susceptible to various oxidative posttranslational modifications (PTMs) due to their high chemical reactivity. Thiol-based PTMs play a crucial role in regulating protein functions and are key contributors to cellular redox signaling. Although reversible thiol-based PTMs, such as disulfide bond formation, S-nitrosylation, and S-glutathionylation, have been extensively studied for their roles in redox regulation, thiol sulfinic acid (-SO2H) modification is often perceived as irreversible and of marginal significance in redox signaling. Here, we revisit this narrow perspective and shed light on the redox regulatory roles of -SO2H in plant stress signaling. We provide an overview of protein sulfinylation in plants, delving into the roles of hydrogen peroxide-mediated and plant cysteine oxidase-catalyzed formation of -SO2H, highlighting the involvement of -SO2H in specific regulatory signaling pathways. Additionally, we compile the existing knowledge of the -SO2H reducing enzyme, sulfiredoxin, offering insights into its molecular mechanisms and biological relevance. We further summarize current proteomic techniques for detecting -SO2H and furnish a list of experimentally validated cysteine -SO2H sites across various species, discussing their functional consequences. This review aims to spark new insights and discussions that lead to further investigations into the functional significance of protein -SO2H-based redox signaling in plants.

Teyani RL, Moghaddam F, Moniri NH. ROS-mediated regulation of β2AR function: Does oxidation play a meaningful role towards β2-agonist tachyphylaxis in airway obstructive diseases? Biochem Pharmacol 2024; 226:116403. [PMID: 38945277 DOI: 10.1016/j.bcp.2024.116403] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2024] [Revised: 06/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/27/2024] [Indexed: 07/02/2024]
Abstract
β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR) agonists are the clinical gold standard for treatment and prophylaxis of airway constriction in pulmonary obstructive diseases such as asthma and COPD. Inhaled β2-agonists elicit rapid bronchorelaxation of the airway smooth muscle, yet, clinical tachyphylaxis to this response can occur over repeated and chronic use, which reduces the bronchodilatory effectiveness. Several mechanisms have been proposed to impart β2-agonist tachyphylaxis, most notably β2AR desensitization. However, airway tissue is known to be highly oxidative, particularly in obstructive disease states where reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation is upregulated and ROS degradation is suboptimal yielding a large oxidative burden. Recent evidence demonstrates that β2AR can regulate ROS generation and that ROS can post-translationally alter β2AR cysteine residues via oxidation, leading to distinct functional receptor outcomes. Herein, we discuss the growing evidence for β2AR mediated ROS generation in airway cells and the role of ROS in regulating β2AR via cysteine-oxidation of the receptor. Given the functional consequence of the β2AR-ROS signaling axis in the airways, we also discuss the potential role of ROS in mediating β2-agonist tachyphylaxis.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite, a short-lived and reactive oxidant, emerges from the diffusion-controlled reaction between the superoxide radical and nitric oxide. Evidence shows that peroxynitrite is a critical mediator in physiological and pathological processes such as the immune response, inflammation, cancer, neurodegeneration, vascular dysfunction, and aging. The biochemistry of peroxynitrite is multifaceted, involving one- or two-electron oxidations and nitration reactions. This minireview highlights recent findings of peroxynitrite acting as a metabolic mediator in processes ranging from oxidative killing to redox signaling. Selected examples of nitrated proteins (i.e., 3-nitrotyrosine) are surveyed to underscore the role of this post-translational modification on cell homeostasis. While accumulated evidence shows that large amounts of peroxynitrite participates of broad oxidation and nitration events in invading pathogens and host tissues, a closer look supports that low to moderate levels selectively trigger signal transduction cascades. Peroxynitrite probes and redox-based pharmacology are instrumental to further understand the biological actions of this reactive metabolite.

Abstract
Oxidation-reduction post-translational modifications (redox-PTMs) are chemical alterations to amino acids of proteins. Redox-PTMs participate in the regulation of protein conformation, localization and function, acting as signalling effectors that impact many essential biochemical processes in the cells. Crucially, the dysregulation of redox-PTMs of proteins has been implicated in the pathophysiology of numerous human diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. This review aims to highlight the current gaps in knowledge in the field of redox-PTMs biology and to explore new methodological advances in proteomics and computational modelling that will pave the way for a better understanding of the role and therapeutic potential of redox-PTMs of proteins in neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we summarize the main types of redox-PTMs of proteins while providing examples of their occurrence in neurodegenerative diseases and an overview of the state-of-the-art methods used for their detection. We explore the potential of novel computational modelling approaches as essential tools to obtain insights into the precise role of redox-PTMs in regulating protein structure and function. We also discuss the complex crosstalk between various PTMs that occur in living cells. Finally, we argue that redox-PTMs of proteins could be used in the future as diagnosis and prognosis biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of sulfinate addition-responsive fluorescent molecules are described. We found that addition reaction of sulfinates to naphthalimide-substituted azocarboxylates afforded the corresponding sulfonyl hydrazides with high fluorescence quantum yields (up to 0.91 in THF and 0.54 in methanol), which exhibited a large Stokes shift (105 nm) in protic methanol solvent, while the unsubstituted hydrazide and the sulfonyl-position isomer showed no fluorescence in polar solvents.

Abstract
Low-molecular-weight (LMW) thiols are produced in all living cells in different forms and concentrations. Glutathione (GSH), coenzyme A (CoA), bacillithiol (BSH), mycothiol (MSH), ergothioneine (ET) and trypanothione T(SH)2 are the main LMW thiols in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. LMW thiols serve as electron donors for thiol-dependent enzymes in redox-mediated metabolic and signaling processes, protect cellular macromolecules from oxidative and xenobiotic stress, and participate in the reduction of oxidative modifications. The level and function of LMW thiols, their oxidized disulfides and mixed disulfide conjugates in cells and tissues is tightly controlled by dedicated oxidoreductases, such as peroxiredoxins, glutaredoxins, disulfide reductases and LMW thiol transferases. This review provides the first summary of the current knowledge of structural and functional diversity of transferases for LMW thiols, including GSH, BSH, MSH and T(SH)2. Their role in maintaining redox homeostasis in single-cell and multicellular organisms is discussed, focusing in particular on the conjugation of specific thiols to exogenous and endogenous electrophiles, or oxidized protein substrates. Advances in the development of new research tools, analytical methodologies, and genetic models for the analysis of known LMW thiol transferases will expand our knowledge and understanding of their function in cell growth and survival under oxidative stress, nutrient deprivation, and during the detoxification of xenobiotics and harmful metabolites. The antioxidant function of CoA has been recently discovered and the breakthrough in defining the identity and functional characteristics of CoA S-transferase(s) is soon expected.

Abstract
Oxidative stress from excess H2O2 activates transcription factors that restore redox balance and repair oxidative damage. Although many transcription factors are activated by H2O2, it is unclear whether they are activated at the same H2O2 concentration, or time. Dose-dependent activation is likely as oxidative stress is not a singular state and exhibits dose-dependent outcomes including cell-cycle arrest and cell death. Here, we show that transcription factor activation is both dose-dependent and coordinated over time. Low levels of H2O2 activate p53, NRF2 and JUN. Yet under high H2O2, these transcription factors are repressed, and FOXO1, NF-κB, and NFAT1 are activated. Time-lapse imaging revealed that the order in which these two groups of transcription factors are activated depends on whether H2O2 is administered acutely by bolus addition, or continuously through the glucose oxidase enzyme. Finally, we provide evidence that 2-Cys peroxiredoxins control which group of transcription factors are activated.

Abstract
Cysteines are amenable to a diverse set of modifications that exhibit critical regulatory functions over the proteome and thereby control a wide range of cellular processes. Proteomic technologies have emerged as a powerful strategy to interrogate cysteine modifications across the proteome. Recent advancements in enrichment strategies, multiplexing capabilities and increased analytical sensitivity have enabled deeper quantitative cysteine profiling, capturing a substantial proportion of the cysteine proteome. This is complemented by a rapidly growing repertoire of analytical strategies illuminating the diverse landscape of cysteine modifications. Cysteine chemoproteomics technologies have evolved into a powerful strategy to facilitate the development of covalent drugs, opening unprecedented opportunities to target the extensive undrugged proteome. Herein we review recent technological and scientific advances that shape the cysteine proteomics field.

Abstract
Cellular metabolism encompasses a complex array of interconnected biochemical pathways that are required for cellular homeostasis. When dysregulated, metabolism underlies multiple human pathologies. At the heart of metabolic networks are enzymes that have been historically studied through a reductionist lens, and more recently, using high throughput approaches including genomics and proteomics. Merging these two divergent viewpoints are chemical proteomic technologies, including activity-based protein profiling, which combines chemical probes specific to distinct enzyme families or amino acid residues with proteomic analysis. This enables the study of metabolism at the network level with the precision of powerful biochemical approaches. Herein, we provide a primer on how chemical proteomic technologies custom-built for studying metabolism have unearthed fundamental principles in metabolic control. In parallel, these technologies have leap-frogged drug discovery through identification of novel targets and drug specificity. Collectively, chemical proteomics technologies appear to do the impossible: uniting systematic analysis with a reductionist approach.

Abstract
The past decade has seen a remarkable growth in the number of bioconjugation techniques in chemistry, biology, material science, and biomedical fields. A core design element in bioconjugation technology is a chemical reaction that can form a covalent bond between the protein of interest and the labeling reagent. Achieving chemoselective protein bioconjugation in aqueous media is challenging, especially for generally less reactive amino acid residues, such as tryptophan. We present here the development of tryptophan-selective bioconjugation methods through ultrafast Lewis acid-catalyzed reactions in hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP). Structure-reactivity relationship studies have revealed a combination of thiophene and ethanol moieties to give a suitable labeling reagent for this bioconjugation process, which enables modification of peptides and proteins in an extremely rapid reaction unencumbered by noticeable side reactions. The capability of the labeling method also facilitated radiofluorination application as well as antibody functionalization. Enhancement of an α-helix by HFIP leads to its compatibility with a certain protein, and this report also demonstrates a further stabilization strategy achieved by the addition of an ionic liquid to the HFIP medium. The nonaqueous bioconjugation approaches allow access to numerous chemical reactions that are unavailable in traditional aqueous processes and will further advance the chemistry of proteins.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced as undesirable by-products of metabolism in various cellular compartments, especially in response to unfavorable environmental conditions, throughout the life cycle of plants. Stress-induced ROS production disrupts normal cellular function and leads to oxidative damage. To cope with excessive ROS, plants are equipped with a sophisticated antioxidative defense system consisting of enzymatic and non-enzymatic components that scavenge ROS or inhibit their harmful effects on biomolecules. Nonetheless, when maintained at relatively low levels, ROS act as signaling molecules that regulate plant growth, development, and adaptation to adverse conditions. Here, we provide an overview of current approaches for detecting ROS. We also discuss recent advances in understanding ROS signaling, ROS metabolism, and the roles of ROS in plant growth and responses to various abiotic stresses.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and Huntington's disease, are identified and characterized by the progressive loss of neurons and neuronal dysfunction, resulting in cognitive and motor impairment. Recent research has shown the importance of PTMs, such as phosphorylation, acetylation, methylation, ubiquitination, sumoylation, nitration, truncation, O-GlcNAcylation, and hydroxylation, in the progression of neurodegenerative disorders. PTMs can alter protein structure and function, affecting protein stability, localization, interactions, and enzymatic activity. Aberrant PTMs can lead to protein misfolding and aggregation, impaired degradation, and clearance, and ultimately, to neuronal dysfunction and death. The main objective of this review is to provide an overview of the PTMs involved in neurodegeneration, their underlying mechanisms, methods to isolate PTMs, and the potential therapeutic targets for these disorders. The PTMs discussed in this article include tau phosphorylation, α-synuclein and Huntingtin ubiquitination, histone acetylation and methylation, and RNA modifications. Understanding the role of PTMs in neurodegenerative diseases may provide new therapeutic strategies for these devastating disorders.

Abstract
Oxidative stress increases the risk for clinically significant thrombotic events, yet the mechanisms by which oxidants become prothrombotic are unclear. In this review, we provide an overview of cysteine reactivity and oxidation. We then highlight recent findings on cysteine oxidation events in oxidative stress-related thrombosis. Special emphasis is on the signaling pathway induced by a platelet membrane protein, CD36, in dyslipidemia, and by protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), a member of the thiol oxidoreductase family of proteins. Antioxidative and chemical biology approaches to target cysteine are discussed. Lastly, the knowledge gaps in the field are highlighted as they relate to understanding how oxidative cysteine modification might be targeted to limit thrombosis.

Agonists and hydrogen peroxide mediate hyperoxidation of β2-adrenergic receptor in airway epithelial cells: Implications for tachyphylaxis to β2-agonists in constrictive airway disorders. Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 168:115763. [PMID: 37865997 PMCID: PMC10842251 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115763] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2023] [Revised: 10/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 10/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Asthma and other airway obstructive disorders are characterized by heightened inflammation and excessive airway epithelial cell reactive oxygen species (ROS), which give rise to a highly oxidative environment. After decades of use, β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR) agonists remain at the forefront of treatment options for asthma, however, chronic use of β2-agonists leads to tachyphylaxis to the bronchorelaxant effects, a phenomenon that remains mechanistically unexplained. We have previously demonstrated that β2AR agonism increases ROS generation in airway epithelial cells, which upholds proper receptor function via feedback oxidation of β2AR cysteine thiolates to Cys-S-sulfenic acids (Cys-SOH). Our previous results also demonstrate that prevention of normal redox cycling of this post-translational oxi-modification back to the thiol prevents proper receptor function. Given that Cys-S-sulfenic acids can be irreversibly overoxidized to Cys-S-sulfinic (Cys-SO2H) or S-sulfonic (Cys-SO3H) acids, which are incapable of further participation in redox reactions, we hypothesized that β2-agonist tachyphylaxis may be explained by hyperoxidation of β2AR to S-sulfinic acids. Here, using airway epithelial cell lines and primary small airway epithelial cells from healthy and asthma-diseased donors, we show that β2AR agonism generates H2O2 in a receptor and NAPDH oxidase-dependent manner. We also demonstrate that acute and chronic receptor agonism can facilitate β2AR S-sulfination, and that millimolar H2O2 concentrations are deleterious to β2AR-mediated cAMP formation, an effect that can be rescued to a degree in the presence of the cysteine-donating antioxidant N-acetyl-L-cysteine. Our results reveal that the oxidative state of β2AR may contribute to receptor functionality and may, at least in part, explain β2-agonist tachyphylaxis.

Abstract
The post-translational modification of cysteine to diverse oxidative states is understood as a critical cellular mechanism to combat oxidative stress. To study the role of cysteine oxidation, cysteine enrichments and subsequent analysis via mass spectrometry are necessary. As such, technologies and methods are rapidly developing for sensitive and efficient enrichments of cysteines to further explore its role in signaling pathways. In this review, we analyze recent developments in methods to miniaturize cysteine enrichments, analyze the underexplored disulfide bound redoxome, and quantify site-specific cysteine oxidation. We predict that further development of these methods will improve cysteine coverage across more diverse organisms than those previously studied and elicit novel roles cysteines play in stress response.

Abstract
Protein cysteinyl thiols are susceptible to reduction-oxidation reactions that can influence protein function. Accurate quantification of cysteine oxidation is therefore crucial for decoding protein redox regulation. Here, we present CysQuant, a novel approach for simultaneous quantification of cysteine oxidation degrees and protein abundancies. CysQuant involves light/heavy iodoacetamide isotopologues for differential labeling of reduced and reversibly oxidized cysteines analyzed by data-dependent acquisition (DDA) or data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry (DIA-MS). Using plexDIA with in silico predicted spectral libraries, we quantified an average of 18% cysteine oxidation in Arabidopsis thaliana by DIA-MS, including a subset of highly oxidized cysteines forming disulfide bridges in AlphaFold2 predicted structures. Applying CysQuant to Arabidopsis seedlings exposed to excessive light, we successfully quantified the well-established increased reduction of Calvin-Benson cycle enzymes and discovered yet uncharacterized redox-sensitive disulfides in chloroplastic enzymes. Overall, CysQuant is a highly versatile tool for assessing the cysteine modification status that can be widely applied across various mass spectrometry platforms and organisms.

Abstract
With an eye toward expanding chemistries used for covalent ligand discovery, we elaborated an umpolung strategy that exploits the 'polarity reversal' of sulfur when cysteine is oxidized to sulfenic acid, a widespread post-translational modification, for selective bioconjugation with C-nucleophiles. Here we present a global map of a human sulfenome that is susceptible to covalent modification by members of a nucleophilic fragment library. More than 500 liganded sulfenic acids were identified on proteins across diverse functional classes, and, of these, more than 80% were not targeted by electrophilic fragment analogs. We further show that members of our nucleophilic fragment library can impair functional protein-protein interactions involved in nuclear oncoprotein transport and DNA damage repair. Our findings reveal a vast expanse of ligandable sulfenic acids in the human proteome and highlight the utility of nucleophilic small molecules in the fragment-based covalent ligand discovery pipeline, presaging further opportunities using non-traditional chemistries for targeting proteins.

Abstract
S-sulfenylation is a vital post-translational modification (PTM) of proteins, which is an intermediate in other redox reactions and has implications for signal transduction and protein function regulation. However, there are many restrictions on the experimental identification of S-sulfenylation sites. Therefore, predicting S-sulfoylation sites by computational methods is fundamental to studying protein function and related biological mechanisms. In this paper, we propose a method named BiGRUD-SA based on bi-directional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU) and self-attention mechanism to predict protein S-sulfenylation sites. We first use AAC, BLOSUM62, AAindex, EAAC and GAAC to extract features, and do feature fusion to obtain original feature space. Next, we use SMOTE-Tomek method to handle data imbalance. Then, we input the processed data to the BiGRU and use self-attention mechanism to do further feature extraction. Finally, we input the data obtained to the deep neural networks (DNN) to identify S-sulfenylation sites. The accuracies of training set and independent test set are 96.66% and 95.91% respectively, which indicates that our method is conducive to identifying S-sulfenylation sites. Furthermore, we use a data set of S-sulfenylation sites in Arabidopsis thaliana to effectively verify the generalization ability of BiGRUD-SA method, and obtain better prediction results.

Abstract
M1 macrophages enter a glycolytic state when endogenous nitric oxide (NO) reprograms mitochondrial metabolism by limiting aconitase 2 and pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) activity. Here, we provide evidence that NO targets the PDH complex by using lipoate to generate nitroxyl (HNO). PDH E2-associated lipoate is modified in NO-rich macrophages while the PDH E3 enzyme, also known as dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (DLD), is irreversibly inhibited. Mechanistically, we show that lipoate facilitates NO-mediated production of HNO, which interacts with thiols forming irreversible modifications including sulfinamide. In addition, we reveal a macrophage signature of proteins with reduction-resistant modifications, including in DLD, and identify potential HNO targets. Consistently, DLD enzyme is modified in an HNO-dependent manner at Cys477 and Cys484, and molecular modeling and mutagenesis show these modifications impair the formation of DLD homodimers. In conclusion, our work demonstrates that HNO is produced physiologically. Moreover, the production of HNO is dependent on the lipoate-rich PDH complex facilitating irreversible modifications that are critical to NO-dependent metabolic rewiring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress contributes to thrombosis in atherosclerosis, inflammation, infection, aging, and malignancy. Oxidant-induced cysteine modifications, including sulfenylation, can act as a redox-sensitive switch that controls protein function. Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) is a prothrombotic enzyme with exquisitely redox-sensitive active-site cysteines. OBJECTIVES We hypothesized that PDI is sulfenylated during oxidative stress, contributing to the prothrombotic potential of PDI. METHODS Biochemical and enzymatic assays using purified proteins, platelet and endothelial cell assays, and in vivo murine thrombosis studies were used to evaluate the role of oxidative stress in PDI sulfenylation and prothrombotic activity. RESULTS PDI exposure to oxidants resulted in the loss of PDI reductase activity and simultaneously promoted sulfenylated PDI generation. Following exposure to oxidants, sulfenylated PDI spontaneously converted to disulfided PDI. PDI oxidized in this manner was able to transfer disulfides to protein substrates. Inhibition of sulfenylation impaired disulfide formation by oxidants, indicating that sulfenylation is an intermediate during PDI oxidation. Agonist-induced activation of platelets and endothelium resulted in the release of sulfenylated PDI. PDI was also sulfenylated by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL). In an in vivo model of thrombus formation, oxLDL markedly promoted platelet accumulation following an arteriolar injury. PDI oxidoreductase inhibition blocked oxLDL-mediated augmentation of thrombosis. CONCLUSION PDI sulfenylation is a critical posttranslational modification that is an intermediate during disulfide PDI formation in the setting of oxidative stress. Oxidants generated by vascular cells during activation promote PDI sulfenylation, and interference with PDI during oxidative stress impairs thrombus formation.

Abstract
In plants, a local infection can lead to systemic acquired resistance (SAR) through increased production of salicylic acid (SA). For 30 years, the identity of the mobile signal and its direct transduction mechanism for systemic SA synthesis in initiating SAR have been hotly debated. We found that, upon pathogen challenge, the cysteine residue of transcription factor CHE undergoes sulfenylation in systemic tissues, enhancing its binding to the promoter of SA-synthesis gene, ICS1, and increasing SA production. This occurs independently of previously reported pipecolic acid (Pip) signal. Instead, H2O2 produced by NADPH oxidase, RBOHD, is the mobile signal that sulfenylates CHE in a concentration-dependent manner. This modification serves as a molecular switch that activates CHE-mediated SA-increase and subsequent Pip-accumulation in systemic tissues to synergistically induce SAR.

Abstract
Significance: Protein persulfidation (the formation of RSSH), an evolutionarily conserved oxidative posttranslational modification in which thiol groups in cysteine residues are converted into persulfides, has emerged as one of the main mechanisms through which hydrogen sulfide (H2S) conveys its signaling. Recent Advances: New methodological advances in persulfide labeling started unraveling the chemical biology of this modification and its role in (patho)physiology. Some of the key metabolic enzymes are regulated by persulfidation. RSSH levels are important for the cellular defense against oxidative injury, and they decrease with aging, leaving proteins vulnerable to oxidative damage. Persulfidation is dysregulated in many diseases. Critical Issues: A relatively new field of signaling by protein persulfidation still has many unanswered questions: the mechanism(s) of persulfide formation and transpersulfidation and the identification of "protein persulfidases," the improvement of methods to monitor RSSH changes and identify protein targets, and understanding the mechanisms through which this modification controls important (patho)physiological functions. Future Directions: Deep mechanistic studies using more selective and sensitive RSSH labeling techniques will provide high-resolution structural, functional, quantitative, and spatiotemporal information on RSSH dynamics and help with better understanding how H2S-derived protein persulfidation affects protein structure and function in health and disease. This knowledge could pave the way for targeted drug design for a wide variety of pathologies. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 39, 19-39.

Protein posttranslational modifications in health and diseases: Functions, regulatory mechanisms, and therapeutic implications. MedComm (Beijing) 2023; 4:e261. [PMID: 37143582 PMCID: PMC10152985 DOI: 10.1002/mco2.261] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 27.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2022] [Revised: 03/26/2023] [Accepted: 03/27/2023] [Indexed: 05/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Protein posttranslational modifications (PTMs) refer to the breaking or generation of covalent bonds on the backbones or amino acid side chains of proteins and expand the diversity of proteins, which provides the basis for the emergence of organismal complexity. To date, more than 650 types of protein modifications, such as the most well-known phosphorylation, ubiquitination, glycosylation, methylation, SUMOylation, short-chain and long-chain acylation modifications, redox modifications, and irreversible modifications, have been described, and the inventory is still increasing. By changing the protein conformation, localization, activity, stability, charges, and interactions with other biomolecules, PTMs ultimately alter the phenotypes and biological processes of cells. The homeostasis of protein modifications is important to human health. Abnormal PTMs may cause changes in protein properties and loss of protein functions, which are closely related to the occurrence and development of various diseases. In this review, we systematically introduce the characteristics, regulatory mechanisms, and functions of various PTMs in health and diseases. In addition, the therapeutic prospects in various diseases by targeting PTMs and associated regulatory enzymes are also summarized. This work will deepen the understanding of protein modifications in health and diseases and promote the discovery of diagnostic and prognostic markers and drug targets for diseases.

Abstract
Strategies to target specific protein cysteines are critical to covalent probe and drug discovery. 3-Bromo-4,5-dihydroisoxazole (BDHI) is a natural product-inspired, synthetically accessible electrophilic moiety that has previously been shown to react with nucleophilic cysteines in the active site of purified enzymes. Here, we define the global cysteine reactivity and selectivity of a set of BDHI-functionalized chemical fragments using competitive chemoproteomic profiling methods. Our study demonstrates that BDHIs capably engage reactive cysteine residues in the human proteome and the selectivity landscape of cysteines liganded by BDHI is distinct from that of haloacetamide electrophiles. Given its tempered reactivity, BDHIs showed restricted, selective engagement with proteins driven by interactions between a tunable binding element and the complementary protein sites. We validate that BDHI forms covalent conjugates with glutathione S-transferase Pi (GSTP1) and peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase NIMA-interacting 1 (PIN1), emerging anticancer targets. BDHI electrophile was further exploited in Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor design using a single-step late-stage installation of the warhead onto acrylamide-containing compounds. Together, this study expands the spectrum of optimizable chemical tools for covalent ligand discovery and highlights the utility of 3-bromo-4,5-dihydroisoxazole as a cysteine-reactive electrophile.

Performance benchmarking microplate-immunoassays for quantifying target-specific cysteine oxidation reveals their potential for understanding redox-regulation and oxidative stress. Free Radic Biol Med 2023; 204:252-265. [PMID: 37192685 DOI: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2023.05.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2023] [Revised: 04/24/2023] [Accepted: 05/05/2023] [Indexed: 05/18/2023]
Abstract
The antibody-linked oxi-state assay (ALISA) for quantifying target-specific cysteine oxidation can benefit specialist and non-specialist users. Specialists can benefit from time-efficient analysis and high-throughput target and/or sample n-plex capacities. The simple and accessible "off-the-shelf" nature of ALISA brings the benefits of oxidative damage assays to non-specialists studying redox-regulation. Until performance benchmarking establishes confidence in the "unseen" microplate results, ALISA is unlikely to be widely adopted. Here, we implemented pre-set pass/fail criteria to benchmark ALISA by evaluating immunoassay performance in diverse contexts. ELISA-mode ALISA assays were accurate, reliable, and sensitive. For example, the average inter-assay CV for detecting 20%- and 40%-oxidised PRDX2 or GAPDH standards was 4.6% (range: 3.6-7.4%). ALISA displayed target-specificity. Immunodepleting the target decreased the signal by ∼75%. Single-antibody formatted ALISA failed to quantify the matrix-facing alpha subunit of the mitochondrial ATP synthase. However, RedoxiFluor quantified the alpha subunit displaying exceptional performance in the single-antibody format. ALISA discovered that (1) monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation amplified PRDX2-oxidation in THP-1 cells and (2) exercise increased GAPDH-specific oxidation in human erythrocytes. The "unseen" microplate data were "seen-to-be-believed" via orthogonal visually displayed immunoassays like the dimer method. Finally, we established target (n = 3) and sample (n = 100) n-plex capacities in ∼4 h with 50-70 min hands-on time. Our work showcases the potential of ALISA to advance our understanding of redox-regulation and oxidative stress.

Abstract
Oxidative stress from excess H2O2 activates transcription factors (TFs) that restore redox balance and repair oxidative damage. Though many TFs are activated by H2O2, it is unknown whether they are activated at the same H2O2 concentration or time after H2O2 stress. We found TF activation is tightly coordinated over time and dose dependent. We first focused on p53 and FOXO1 and found that in response to low H2O2, p53 is activated rapidly while FOXO1 remains inactive. In contrast, cells respond to high H2O2 in two temporal phases. In the first phase FOXO1 rapidly shuttles to the nucleus while p53 remains inactive. In the second phase FOXO1 shuts off and p53 levels rise. Other TFs are activated in the first phase with FOXO1 (NF-κB, NFAT1), or the second phase with p53 (NRF2, JUN), but not both. The two phases result in large differences in gene expression. Finally, we provide evidence that 2-Cys peroxiredoxins control which TF are activated and the timing of TF activation.

Abstract
Because of the central role ribosomes play for protein translation and ribosome-mediated mRNA and protein quality control (RQC), the ribosome pool is surveyed and dysfunctional ribosomes degraded both during assembly, as well as the functional cycle. Oxidative stress downregulates translation and damages mRNAs and ribosomal proteins (RPs). Although damaged mRNAs are detected and degraded via RQC, how cells mitigate damage to RPs is not known. Here, we show that cysteines in Rps26 and Rpl10 are readily oxidized, rendering the proteins non-functional. Oxidized Rps26 and Rpl10 are released from ribosomes by their chaperones, Tsr2 and Sqt1, and the damaged ribosomes are subsequently repaired with newly made proteins. Ablation of this pathway impairs growth, which is exacerbated under oxidative stress. These findings reveal an unanticipated mechanism for chaperone-mediated ribosome repair, augment our understanding of ribosome quality control, and explain previous observations of protein exchange in ribosomes from dendrites, with broad implications for aging and health.

Abstract
The mitochondrion is the primary energy generator of a cell and is a central player in cellular redox regulation. Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) are the natural byproducts of cellular respiration that are critical for the redox signaling events that regulate a cell's metabolism. These redox signaling pathways primarily rely on the reversible oxidation of the cysteine residues on mitochondrial proteins. Several key sites of this cysteine oxidation on mitochondrial proteins have been identified and shown to modulate downstream signaling pathways. To further our understanding of mitochondrial cysteine oxidation and to identify uncharacterized redox-sensitive cysteines, we coupled mitochondrial enrichment with redox proteomics. Briefly, differential centrifugation methods were used to enrich for mitochondria. These purified mitochondria were subjected to both exogenous and endogenous ROS treatments and analyzed by two redox proteomics methods. A competitive cysteine-reactive profiling strategy, termed isoTOP-ABPP, enabled the ranking of the cysteines by their redox sensitivity, due to a loss of reactivity induced by cysteine oxidation. A modified OxICAT method enabled a quantification of the percentage of reversible cysteine oxidation. Initially, we assessed the cysteine oxidation upon treatment with a range of exogenous hydrogen peroxide concentrations, which allowed us to differentiate the mitochondrial cysteines by their susceptibility to oxidation. We then analyzed the cysteine oxidation upon inducing reactive oxygen species generation via the inhibition of the electron transport chain. Together, these methods identified the mitochondrial cysteines that were sensitive to endogenous and exogenous ROS, including several previously known redox-regulated cysteines and uncharacterized cysteines on diverse mitochondrial proteins.

Abstract
Reactive electrophilic species are ubiquitous in plant cells, where they contribute to specific redox-regulated signaling events. Redox signaling is known to modulate gene expression during diverse biological processes, including plant growth, development, and environmental stress responses. Emerging data demonstrates that transcription factors (TFs) are a main target of cysteine thiol-based oxidative post-translational modifications (OxiPTMs), which can alter their transcriptional activity and thereby convey redox information to the nucleus. Here, we review the significant progress that has been made in characterizing cysteine thiol-based OxiPTMs, their biochemical properties, and their functional effects on plant TFs. We discuss the underlying mechanism of redox regulation and its contribution to various physiological processes as well as still outstanding challenges in redox regulation of plant gene expression.

Beyond Antioxidant Activity: Redox Properties of Catechins May Affect Changes in the DNA Methylation Profile—The Example of SRXN1 Gene. Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:antiox12030754.

Abstract
The role of catechins in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression has been widely studied; however, if and how this phenomenon relates to the redox properties of these polyphenols remains unknown. Our earlier study demonstrated that exposure of the human colon adenocarcinoma HT29 cell line to these antioxidants affects the expression of redox-related genes. In particular, treatment with (−)-epigallocatechin (EGC) downregulated transcription of gene encoding sulfiredoxin-1 (SRXN1), the peroxidase involved in the protection of cells against hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the observed SRXN1 downregulation was accompanied by changes in the DNA methylation level of its promoter and, if so, whether it was correlated with the redox properties of catechins. The impact on DNA methylation profile in HT29 cells treated with different concentrations of five catechins, varying in chemical structures and standard reduction potentials as well as susceptibility to oxidation, was monitored by a methylation-sensitive high-resolution melting technique employing the SRXN1 promoter region as a model target. We demonstrated that catechins, indeed, are able to modulate DNA methylation of the SRXN1 gene in a redox-related manner. The nonlinear method in the statistical analysis made it possible to fish out two parameters (charge transfer in oxidation process Qox and time of electron transfer t), whose strong interactions correlated with observed modulation of DNA methylation by catechins. Based on these findings, we present a proof-of-concept that DNA methylation, which limits SRXN1 expression and thus restricts the multidirectional antioxidant action of SRXN1, may represent a mechanism protecting cells against reductive stress caused by particularly fast-reacting reductants such as EGC and (−)-epicatechin gallate (ECG) in our study.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a multitasking potent regulator that facilitates plant growth, development, and responses to environmental stimuli. RECENT ADVANCES The important beneficial effects of H2S in various aspects of plant physiology aroused the interest of this chemical for agriculture. Protein cysteine persulfidation has been recognized as the main redox regulatory mechanism of H2S signaling. An increasing number of studies, including large-scale proteomic analyses and function characterizations, have revealed that H2S-mediated persulfidations directly regulate protein functions, altering downstream signaling in plants. To date, the importance of H2S-mediated persufidation in several abscisic acid signaling-controlling key proteins has been assessed as well as their role in stomatal movements, largely contributing to the understanding of the plant H2S-regulatory mechanism. CRITICAL ISSUES The molecular mechanisms of the H2S sensing and transduction in plants remain elusive. The correlation between H2S-mediated persulfidation with other oxidative posttranslational modifications of cysteines are still to be explored. FUTURE DIRECTIONS Implementation of advanced detection approaches for the spatiotemporal monitoring of H2S levels in cells and the current proteomic profiling strategies for the identification and quantification of the cysteine site-specific persulfidation will provide insight into the H2S signaling in plants.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can modulate protein function through cysteine oxidation. Identifying protein targets of ROS can provide insight into uncharacterized ROS-regulated pathways. Several redox-proteomic workflows, such as oxidative isotope-coded affinity tags (OxICAT), exist to identify sites of cysteine oxidation. However, determining ROS targets localized within subcellular compartments and ROS hotspots remains challenging with existing workflows. Here, we present a chemoproteomic platform, PL-OxICAT, which combines proximity labeling (PL) with OxICAT to monitor localized cysteine oxidation events. We show that TurboID-based PL-OxICAT can monitor cysteine oxidation events within subcellular compartments such as the mitochondrial matrix and intermembrane space. Furthermore, we use ascorbate peroxidase (APEX)-based PL-OxICAT to monitor oxidation events within ROS hotspots by using endogenous ROS as the source of peroxide for APEX activation. Together, these platforms further hone our ability to monitor cysteine oxidation events within specific subcellular locations and ROS hotspots and provide a deeper understanding of the protein targets of endogenous and exogenous ROS.

Abstract
Cysteine sulfonic acid (Cys-SO3H; cysteic acid) is an oxidative post-translational modification of cysteine, resulting from further oxidation from cysteine sulfinic acid (Cys-SO2H). Cysteine sulfonic acid is considered an irreversible post-translational modification, which serves as a biomarker of oxidative stress that has resulted in oxidative damage to proteins. Cysteine sulfonic acid is anionic, as a sulfonate (Cys-SO3-; cysteate), in the ionization state that is almost exclusively present at physiological pH (pKa ∼ -2). In order to understand protein structural changes that can occur upon oxidation to cysteine sulfonic acid, we analyzed its conformational preferences, using experimental methods, bioinformatics, and DFT-based computational analysis. Cysteine sulfonic acid was incorporated into model peptides for α-helix and polyproline II helix (PPII). Within peptides, oxidation of cysteine to the sulfonic acid proceeds rapidly and efficiently at room temperature in solution with methyltrioxorhenium (MeReO3) and H2O2. Peptides containing cysteine sulfonic acid were also generated on solid phase using trityl-protected cysteine and oxidation with MeReO3 and H2O2. Using methoxybenzyl (Mob)-protected cysteine, solid-phase oxidation with MeReO3 and H2O2 generated the Mob sulfone precursor to Cys-SO2- within fully synthesized peptides. These two solid-phase methods allow the synthesis of peptides containing either Cys-SO3- or Cys-SO2- in a practical manner, with no solution-phase synthesis required. Cys-SO3- had low PPII propensity for PPII propagation, despite promoting a relatively compact conformation in ϕ. In contrast, in a PPII initiation model system, Cys-SO3- promoted PPII relative to neutral Cys, with PPII initiation similar to Cys thiolate but less than Cys-SO2- or Ala. In an α-helix model system, Cys-SO3- promoted α-helix near the N-terminus, due to favorable helix dipole interactions and favorable α-helix capping via a sulfonate-amide side chain-main chain hydrogen bond. Across all peptides, the sulfonate side chain was significantly less ordered than that of the sulfinate. Analysis of Cys-SO3- in the PDB revealed a very strong propensity for local (i/i or i/i + 1) side chain-main chain sulfonate-amide hydrogen bonds for Cys-SO3-, with >80% of Cys-SO3- residues exhibiting these interactions. DFT calculations conducted to explore these conformational preferences indicated that side chain-main chain hydrogen bonds of the sulfonate with the intraresidue amide and/or with the i + 1 amide were favorable. However, hydrogen bonds to water or to amides, as well as interactions with oxophilic metals, were weaker for the sulfonate than the sulfinate, due to lower charge density on the oxygens in the sulfonate.

Abstract
The p53 and FOXO transcription factors (TFs) share many similarities despite their distinct evolutionary origins. Both TFs are activated by a variety of cellular stresses and upregulate genes in similar pathways including cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis. Oxidative stress from excess H2O2 activates both FOXO1 and p53, yet whether they are activated at the same time is unclear. Here we found that cells respond to high H2O2 levels in two temporal phases. In the first phase FOXO1 rapidly shuttles to the nucleus while p53 levels remain low. In the second phase FOXO1 exits the nucleus and p53 levels rise. We found that other oxidative stress induced TFs are activated in the first phase with FOXO1 (NF-κB, NFAT1), or the second phase with p53 (NRF2, JUN) but not both following H2O2 stress. The two TF phases result in large differences in gene expression patterns. Finally, we provide evidence that 2-Cys peroxiredoxins control the timing of the TF phases in response to H2O2.

Abstract
In order to reveal the inter-relationship between protein sulfenic acid (RSOH) and formaldehyde (FA) in different physiological processes, development of tools that are capable of respective and continuous detection for both species is highly valuable. Herein, we reported an "off-on" sensor NA-SF for dual detection of RSOH and FA in cells and plant tissues. Importantly, the highly desirable attribute of the probe NA-SF combined with TCEP, makes it possible to monitor endogenous both RSOH and FA in living cells and plants tissues. NA-SF has been applied successfully in detecting RSOH and FA at physiological concentrations in HeLa, HepG2, A549 cells. Furthermore, the application of NA-SF in evaluating the RSOH and FA level in Arabidopsis thaliana roots of different growth stages are performed. The results show that the level of RSOH and FA in Arabidopsis thaliana roots correlates well with their growth stages, which suggests that both RSOH and FA might play important roles in promoting plant growth and roots elongation. And it also implied a potential application for the biological and pathological research of RSOH and FA, especially in plant physiology. Therefore, we expect NA-SF could provide a convenient and robust tool for better understanding the physiological and pathological roles of RSOH and FA.

Abstract
Environmental agents of exposure can damage proteins, affecting protein function and cellular protein homeostasis. Specific residues are inherently chemically susceptible to damage from individual types of exposure. Amino acid content is not completely predictive of protein susceptibility, as secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures of proteins strongly influence the reactivity of the proteome to individual exposures. Because we cannot readily predict which proteins will be affected by which chemical exposures, mass spectrometry-based proteomic strategies are necessary to determine the protein targets of environmental toxins and toxicants. This review describes the mechanisms by which environmental exposure to toxins and toxicants can damage proteins and affect their function, and emerging omic methodologies that can be used to identify the protein targets of a given agent. These methods include target identification strategies that have recently revolutionized the drug discovery field, such as activity-based protein profiling, protein footprinting, and protein stability profiling technologies. In particular, we highlight the necessity of multiple, complementary approaches to fully interrogate how protein integrity is challenged by individual exposures.

Abstract
Cysteine sulfonic acid, a product of protein oxidative damage, is an important sign by which the body and cells sense oxidative stress. Cigarette smoke (CS) can trigger inflammatory reactions in humans that lead to higher levels of oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the body. Available evidence indicates a possible relationship between protein oxidative damage and cigarette smoke, which is poorly understood due to the limitations of analytical techniques. Herein, we developed a donor-acceptor structured aggregation-induced emission (AIE) fluorescence probe H-1, which exhibited excellent optical properties for the highly sensitive and specific detection of sulfonic acid biomacromolecules. The probe could be easily synthesized by click chemistry conjugating triazole heterocycles onto a triphenylamine fluorophore, followed by a cationization reaction. Due to low cytotoxity, the probe was successfully applied for in situ imaging of intracellular protein sulfonation, achieving visualization of protein sulfonation in cigarette smoke stimulation-induced inflammatory RAW264.7 cell models. Moreover, an immunofluorescence study of the aorta and lung revealed that significant blue fluorescence signals could be observed only in CS-stimulated vascular. It indicated that CS-stimulated vascular sulfonation injury can be monitored using H-1. This study will provide an efficient method for revealing CS-induced oxidative damage-relevant diseases.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been described to induce a broad range of redox-dependent signaling reactions in physiological conditions. Nevertheless, an excessive accumulation of ROS leads to oxidative stress, which was traditionally considered as detrimental for cells and organisms, due to the oxidative damage they cause to biomolecules. During ageing, elevated ROS levels result in the accumulation of damaged proteins, which may exhibit altered enzymatic function or physical properties (e.g., aggregation propensity). Emerging evidence also highlights the relationship between oxidative stress and age-related pathologies, such as protein misfolding-based neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Parkinson's (PD), Alzheimer's (AD) and Huntington's (HD) diseases). In this review we aim to introduce the role of oxidative stress in physiology and pathology and then focus on the state-of-the-art techniques available to detect and quantify ROS and oxidized proteins in live cells and in vivo, providing a guide to those aiming to characterize the role of oxidative stress in ageing and neurodegenerative diseases. Lastly, we discuss recently published data on the role of oxidative stress in neurological disorders.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a unique type of cell death that is hallmarked with the imbalanced redox homeostasis as triggered by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. Cysteines often play critical roles in proteins to help maintain a healthy cellular environment by dynamically switching between their reduced and oxidized forms, however, how the global redox landscape of cysteinome is perturbed upon ferroptosis remains unknown to date. By using a quantitative chemical proteomic strategy, we systematically profiled the dynamic changes of cysteinome in ferroptotic cells and identified a list of candidate sites whose redox states are precisely regulated under ferroptosis-inducing and rescuing conditions. In particular, C106 of the protein/nucleic acid deglycase DJ-1 acts as an intriguing sensor switch for the ferroptotic condition, whose oxidation results in the disruption of its interaction with the 20S proteasome and leads to a marked activation in the proteasome system. Our chemoproteomic profiling and associated functional studies reveal a novel functional link between ferroptosis and the proteasome-mediated protein degradation. It also suggests proteasome as a promising target for developing treatment strategies for ferroptosis-related diseases.

Abstract
DJ-1 (also called PARK7) is a ubiquitously expressed protein involved in the etiology of Parkinson disease and cancers. At least one of its three cysteine residues is functionally essential, and its oxidation state determines the specific function of the enzyme. DJ-1 was recently reported to be persulfidated in mammalian cell lines, but the implications of this post-translational modification have not yet been analyzed. Here, we report that recombinant DJ-1 is reversibly persulfidated at cysteine 106 by reaction with various sulfane donors and subsequently inhibited. Strikingly, this reaction is orders of magnitude faster than C106 oxidation by H2O2, and persulfidated DJ-1 behaves differently than sulfinylated DJ-1. Both these PTMs most likely play a dedicated role in DJ-1 signaling or protective pathways.

Abstract
Perturbation to the redox state accompanies many diseases and its effects are viewed through oxidation of biomolecules, including proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. The thiol groups of protein cysteine residues undergo an array of redox post-translational modifications (PTMs) that are important for regulation of protein and pathway function. To better understand what proteins are redox regulated following a perturbation, it is important to be able to comprehensively profile protein thiol oxidation at the proteome level. Herein, we report a deep redox proteome profiling workflow and demonstrate its application in measuring the changes in thiol oxidation along with global protein expression in skeletal muscle from mdx mice, a model of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). In-depth coverage of the thiol proteome was achieved with >18,000 Cys sites from 5,608 proteins in muscle being quantified. Compared to the control group, mdx mice exhibit markedly increased thiol oxidation, where a ∼2% shift in the median oxidation occupancy was observed. Pathway analysis for the redox data revealed that coagulation system and immune-related pathways were among the most susceptible to increased thiol oxidation in mdx mice, whereas protein abundance changes were more enriched in pathways associated with bioenergetics. This study illustrates the importance of deep redox profiling in gaining greater insight into oxidative stress regulation and pathways/processes that are perturbed in an oxidizing environment.

Abstract
Hsp70s are multifunctional proteins and serve as the central hub of the protein quality control network. Hsp70s are also related to a number of diseases and have been established as drug targets. Human HspA1A (hHsp70) and HspA8 (hHsc70) are the major cytosolic Hsp70s, and they have both overlapping and distinct functions. hHsp70 contains five cysteine residues, and hHsc70 contains four cysteine residues. Previous studies have shown these cysteine residues can undergo different cysteine modifications such as oxidation or reaction with electrophiles to regulate their function, and hHsp70 and hHsc70 have different cysteine reactivity. To address the mechanism of the differences in cysteine reactivity between hHsp70 and hHsc70, we studied the factors that determine this reactivity by Ellman assay for the quantification of accessible free thiols and NMR analysis for the assessment of structural dynamics. We found the lower cysteine reactivity of hHsc70 is probably due to its lower structural dynamics and the stronger inhibition effect of interaction between the α-helical lid subdomain of the substrate-binding domain (SBDα) and the β-sheet substrate-binding subdomain (SBDβ) on cysteine reactivity of hHsc70. We determined that Gly557 in hHsp70 contributes significantly to the higher structural dynamics and cysteine reactivity of hHsp70 SBDα. Exploring the cysteine reactivity of hHsp70 and hHsc70 facilitates an understanding of the effects of redox reactions and electrophiles on their chaperone activity and regulation mechanisms, and how these differences allow them to undertake distinct cellular roles.

Abstract
Significance: How mechanical forces and biochemical cues are coupled remains a miracle for many biological processes. Integrins, well-known adhesion receptors, sense changes in mechanical forces and reduction-oxidation reactions (redox) in their environment to mediate their adhesive function. The coupling of mechanical and redox function is a new area of investigation. Disturbance of normal mechanical forces and the redox balance occurs in thromboinflammatory conditions; atherosclerotic plaques create changes to the mechanical forces in the circulation. Diabetes induces redox changes in the circulation by the production of reactive oxygen species and vascular inflammation. Recent Advances: Integrins sense changes in the blood flow shear stress at the level of focal adhesions and respond to flow and traction forces by increased signaling. Talin, the integrin-actin linker, is a traction force sensor and adaptor. Oxidation and reduction of integrin disulfide bonds regulate their adhesion. A conserved disulfide bond in integrin αlpha IIb beta 3 (αIIbβ3) is directly reduced by the thiol oxidoreductase endoplasmic reticulum protein 5 (ERp5) under shear stress. Critical Issues: The coordination of mechano-redox events between the extracellular and intracellular compartments is an active area of investigation. Another fundamental issue is to determine the spatiotemporal arrangement of key regulators of integrins' mechanical and redox interactions. How thromboinflammatory conditions lead to mechanoredox uncoupling is relatively unexplored. Future Directions: Integrated approaches, involving disulfide bond biochemistry, microfluidic assays, and dynamic force spectroscopy, will aid in showing that cell adhesion constitutes a crossroad of mechano- and redox biology, within the same molecule, the integrin.

Abstract
![]()
Cysteine side chains
can exist in distinct oxidation
states depending
on the pH and redox potential of the environment, and cysteine oxidation
plays important yet complex regulatory roles. Compared with the effects
of post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation, the effects
of oxidation of cysteine to sulfenic, sulfinic, and sulfonic acid
on protein structure and function remain relatively poorly characterized.
We present an analysis of the role of cysteine reactivity as a regulatory
factor in proteins, emphasizing the interplay between electrostatics
and redox potential as key determinants of the resulting oxidation
state. A review of current computational approaches suggests underdeveloped
areas of research for studying cysteine reactivity through molecular
simulations.

'Turn-on' fluorescence probes for detecting H2O2 in cells are established, but equivalent tools to monitor the products of its reaction with protein cysteines have not been reported. Here we describe fluorogenic probes for detecting sulfenic acid, a redox modification inextricably linked to H2O2 signaling and oxidative stress. The reagents exhibit excellent cell permeability, rapid reactivity, and high selectivity with minimal cytotoxicity. We develop a high-throughput assay for measuring S-sulfenation in cells and use it to screen a curated kinase inhibitor library. We reveal a positive association between S-sulfenation and inhibition of TK, AGC, and CMGC kinase group members including GSK3, a promising target for neurological disorders. Proteomic mapping of GSK3 inhibitor-treated cells shows that S-sulfenation sites localize to the regulatory cysteines of antioxidant enzymes. Our studies highlight the ability of kinase inhibitors to modulate the cysteine sulfenome and should find broad application in the rapidly growing field of redox medicine.

[PMID: 35945138 DOI: 10.1093/bib/bbac323] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2022] [Revised: 07/16/2022] [Accepted: 07/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Protein S-sulfinylation is an important posttranslational modification that regulates a variety of cell and protein functions. This modification has been linked to signal transduction, redox homeostasis and neuronal transmission in studies. Therefore, identification of S-sulfinylation sites is crucial to understanding its structure and function, which is critical in cell biology and human diseases. In this study, we propose a multi-module deep learning framework named DLF-Sul for identification of S-sulfinylation sites in proteins. First, three types of features are extracted including binary encoding, BLOSUM62 and amino acid index. Then, sequential features are further extracted based on these three types of features using bidirectional long short-term memory network. Next, multi-head self-attention mechanism is utilized to filter the effective attribute information, and residual connection helps to reduce information loss. Furthermore, convolutional neural network is employed to extract local deep features information. Finally, fully connected layers acts as classifier that map samples to corresponding label. Performance metrics on independent test set, including sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, Matthews correlation coefficient and area under curve, reach 91.80%, 92.36%, 92.08%, 0.8416 and 96.40%, respectively. The results show that DLF-Sul is an effective tool for predicting S-sulfinylation sites. The source code is available on the website https://github.com/ningq669/DLF-Sul.
