Pseudoperoxidase activity, conformational stability, and aggregation propensity of the His98Tyr myoglobin variant: implications for the onset of myoglobinopathy. FEBS J 2021; 289:1105-1117. [PMID: 34679218 PMCID: PMC9298411 DOI: 10.1111/febs.16235] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2021] [Revised: 09/09/2021] [Accepted: 10/18/2021] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
The autosomal dominant striated muscle disease myoglobinopathy is due to the single point mutation His98Tyr in human myoglobin (MB), the heme protein responsible for binding, storage, and controlled release of O2 in striated muscle. In order to understand the molecular basis of this disease, a comprehensive biochemical and biophysical study on wt MB and the variant H98Y has been performed. Although only small differences exist between the active site architectures of the two proteins, the mutant (a) exhibits an increased reactivity toward hydrogen peroxide, (b) exhibits a higher tendency to form high‐molecular‐weight aggregates, and (c) is more prone to heme bleaching, possibly as a consequence of the observed H2O2‐induced formation of the Tyr98 radical close to the metal center. These effects add to the impaired oxygen binding capacity and faster heme dissociation of the H98Y variant compared with wt MB. As the above effects result from bond formation/cleavage events occurring at the distal and proximal heme sites, it appears that the molecular determinants of the disease are localized there. These findings set the basis for clarifying the onset of the cascade of chemical events that are responsible for the pathological symptoms of myoglobinopathy.

Abstract
Recombinant expression system was established for rainbow trout myoglobin (Mb) considering its unique primary structure of having one unusual deletion and two cysteine residues in contrast to the other fish Mbs. The obtained recombinant Mb without His-tag showed non-cooperative thermal denaturation profile. The presence of free cysteine residue(s) in rainbow trout Mb was demonstrated by reacting with a sulfhydryl agent, 4, 4´-dithiodipyridine, which ultimately resulted in the oxidation of Mb with characteristic changes in visible absorption spectra. Besides, the recombinant Mb displayed steady peroxidase reactivity indicating in vivo roles of Mb as a reactive oxygen species scavenger. The findings of the present study indicate that the solitary rainbow trout Mb, which ultimately manifest typical secondary structure pattern and corroborate characteristic functionality, can be over expressed in recombinant system devoid of fusion tag.

Abstract
Hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase domain 2 (PHD2) is an important oxygen sensor in animals. By using the CO-releasing molecule-2 (CORM-2) as an in situ CO donor, we demonstrate that CO is an inhibitor of PHD2. This report provides further evidence about the emerging role of CO in oxygen sensing and homeostasis.

Abstract
Oxidative post-translational modification of proteins by molecular oxygen (O2)- and nitric oxide (•NO)-derived reactive species is a usual process that occurs in mammalian tissues under both physiological and pathological conditions and can exert either regulatory or cytotoxic effects. Although the side chain of several amino acids is prone to experience oxidative modifications, tyrosine residues are one of the preferred targets of one-electron oxidants, given the ability of their phenolic side chain to undergo reversible one-electron oxidation to the relatively stable tyrosyl radical. Naturally occurring as reversible catalytic intermediates at the active site of a variety of enzymes, tyrosyl radicals can also lead to the formation of several stable oxidative products through radical-radical reactions, as is the case of 3-nitrotyrosine (NO2Tyr). The formation of NO2Tyr mainly occurs through the fast reaction between the tyrosyl radical and nitrogen dioxide (•NO2). One of the key endogenous nitrating agents is peroxynitrite (ONOO-), the product of the reaction of superoxide radical (O2•-) with •NO, but ONOO--independent mechanisms of nitration have been also disclosed. This chemical modification notably affects the physicochemical properties of tyrosine residues and because of this, it can have a remarkable impact on protein structure and function, both in vitro and in vivo. Although low amounts of NO2Tyr are detected under basal conditions, significantly increased levels are found at pathological states related with an overproduction of reactive species, such as cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, inflammation and aging. While NO2Tyr is a well-established stable oxidative stress biomarker and a good predictor of disease progression, its role as a pathogenic mediator has been laboriously defined for just a small number of nitrated proteins and awaits further studies.

Abstract
Dye decolouring peroxidases (DyPs) are the most recent class of heme peroxidase to be discovered. On reacting with H2 O2 , DyPs form a high-valent iron(IV)-oxo species and a porphyrin radical (Compound I) followed by stepwise oxidation of an organic substrate. In the absence of substrate, the ferryl species decays to form transient protein-bound radicals on redox active amino acids. Identification of radical sites in DyPs has implications for their oxidative mechanism with substrate. Using a DyP from Streptomyces lividans, referred to as DtpA, which displays low reactivity towards synthetic dyes, activation with H2 O2 was explored. A Compound I EPR spectrum was detected, which in the absence of substrate decays to a protein-bound radical EPR signal. Using a newly developed version of the Tyrosyl Radical Spectra Simulation Algorithm, the radical EPR signal was shown to arise from a pristine tyrosyl radical and not a mixed Trp/Tyr radical that has been widely reported in DyP members exhibiting high activity with synthetic dyes. The radical site was identified as Tyr374, with kinetic studies inferring that although Tyr374 is not on the electron-transfer pathway from the dye RB19, its replacement with a Phe does severely compromise activity with other organic substrates. These findings hint at the possibility that alternative electron-transfer pathways for substrate oxidation are operative within the DyP family. In this context, a role for a highly conserved aromatic dyad motif is discussed.

Abstract
Copper-cysteine interactions play an important role in Biology and herein we used the copper-substituted rubredoxin (Cu-Rd) from Desulfovibrio gigas to gain further insights into the copper-cysteine redox chemistry. EPR spectroscopy results are consistent with Cu-Rd harboring a CuII center in a sulfur-rich coordination, in a distorted tetrahedral structure ( g∥,⊥ = 2.183 and 2.032 and A∥,⊥ = 76.4 × 10-4 and 12 × 10-4 cm-1). In Cu-Rd, two oxidation states at Cu-center (CuII and CuI) are associated with Cys oxidation-reduction, alternating in the redox cycle, as pointed by electrochemical studies that suggest internal geometry rearrangements associated with the electron transfer processes. The midpoint potential of [CuI(S-Cys)2(Cys-S-S-Cys)]/[CuII(S-Cys)4] redox couple was found to be -0.15 V vs NHE showing a large separation of cathodic and anodic peaks potential (Δ Ep = 0.575 V). Interestingly, sulfur-rich CuII-Rd is highly stable under argon in dark conditions, which is thermodynamically unfavorable to Cu-thiol autoreduction. The reduction of copper and concomitant oxidation of Cys can both undergo two possible pathways: oxidative as well as photochemical. Under O2, CuII plays the role of the electron carrier from one Cys to O2 followed by internal geometry rearrangement at the Cu site, which facilitates reduction at Cu-center to yield CuI(S-Cys)2(Cys-S-S-Cys). Photoinduced (irradiated at λex = 280 nm) reduction of the CuII center is observed by UV-visible photolysis (above 300 nm all bands disappeared) and tryptophan fluorescence (∼335 nm peak enhanced) experiments. In both pathways, geometry reorganization plays an important role in copper reduction yielding an energetically compatible donor-acceptor system. This model system provides unusual stability and redox chemistry rather than the universal Cu-thiol auto redox chemistry in cysteine-rich copper complexes.

Abstract
Cells respond to many stimuli by transmitting signals through redox-regulated pathways. It is generally accepted that in many instances signal transduction is via reversible oxidation of thiol proteins, although there is uncertainty about the specific redox transformations involved. The prevailing view is that thiol oxidation occurs by a two electron mechanism, most commonly involving hydrogen peroxide. Free radicals, on the other hand, are considered as damaging species and not generally regarded as important in cell signaling. This paper examines whether it is justified to dismiss radicals or whether they could have a signaling role. Although there is no direct evidence that radicals are involved in transmitting thiol-based redox signals, evidence is presented that they are generated in cells when these signaling pathways are activated. Radicals produce the same thiol oxidation products as two electron oxidants, although by a different mechanism, and at this point radical-mediated pathways should not be dismissed. There are unresolved issues about how radical mechanisms could achieve sufficient selectivity, but this could be possible through colocalization of radical-generating and signal-transducing proteins. Colocalization is also likely to be important for nonradical signaling mechanisms and identification of such associations should be a priority for advancing the field.

Abstract
Oxidative metabolism and redox signaling prove to play a decisional role in controlling adult hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) biology. However, HSPCs reside in a hypoxic bone marrow microenvironment raising the question of how oxygen metabolism might be ensued. In this study, we provide for the first time novel functional and molecular evidences that human HSPCs express myoglobin (Mb) at level comparable with that of a muscle-derived cell line. Optical spectroscopy and oxymetry enabled to estimate an O2-sensitive heme-containing protein content of approximately 180 ng globin per 10(6) HSPC and a P50 of approximately 3 µM O2. Noticeably, expression of Mb mainly occurs through a HIF-1-induced alternative transcript (Mb-V/Mb-N = 35 ± 15, p < .01). A search for other Mb-related globins unveiled significant expression of neuroglobin (Ngb) but not of cytoglobin. Confocal microscopy immune detection of Mb in HSPCs strikingly revealed nuclear localization in cell subsets expressing high level of CD34 (nuclear/cytoplasmic Mb ratios 1.40 ± 0.02 vs. 0.85 ± 0.05, p < .01) whereas Ngb was homogeneously distributed in all the HSPC population. Dual-color fluorescence flow cytometry indicated that while the Mb content was homogeneously distributed in all the HSPC subsets that of Ngb was twofold higher in more immature HSPC. Moreover, we show that HSPCs exhibit a hypoxic nitrite reductase activity releasing NO consistent with described noncanonical functions of globins. Our finding extends the notion that Mb and Ngb can be expressed in nonmuscle and non-neural contexts, respectively, and is suggestive of a differential role of Mb in HSPC in controlling oxidative metabolism at different stages of commitment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proteinuria and hematuria are both important health issues; however, the nature of the association between these findings and acute kidney injury (AKI) or mortality remains unresolved in critically ill patients. METHODS Proteinuria and hematuria were measured by a dipstick test and scored using a scale ranging from a negative result to 3+ in 1883 patients admitted to the intensive care unit. AKI was defined according to the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines. The odds ratios (ORs) for AKI and 3-year mortality were calculated after adjustment for multiple covariates according to the degree of proteinuria or hematuria. For evaluating the synergistic effect on mortality among proteinuria, hematuria, and AKI, the relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI) was used. RESULTS Proteinuria and hematuria increased the ORs for AKI: the ORs of proteinuria were 1.66 (+/-), 1.86 (1+), 2.18 (2+), and 4.74 (3+) compared with non-proteinuria; the ORs of hematuria were 1.31 (+/-), 1.58 (1+), 2.63 (2+), and 2.52 (3+) compared with non-hematuria. The correlations between the mortality risk and proteinuria or hematuria were all significant and graded (Ptrend<0.001). There was a relative excess risk of mortality when both AKI and proteinuria or hematuria were considered together: the synergy indexes were 1.30 and 1.23 for proteinuria and hematuria, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Proteinuria and hematuria are associated with the risks of AKI and mortality in critically ill patients. Additionally, these findings had a synergistic effect with AKI on mortality.

Abstract
Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, contains exclusively iron-dependent superoxide dismutases (Fe-SODs) located in different subcellular compartments. Peroxynitrite, a key cytotoxic and oxidizing effector biomolecule, reacted with T. cruzi mitochondrial (Fe-SODA) and cytosolic (Fe-SODB) SODs with second order rate constants of 4.6 ± 0.2 × 10(4) M(-1) s(-1) and 4.3 ± 0.4 × 10(4) M(-1) s(-1) at pH 7.4 and 37 °C, respectively. Both isoforms are dose-dependently nitrated and inactivated by peroxynitrite. Susceptibility of T. cruzi Fe-SODA toward peroxynitrite was similar to that reported previously for Escherichia coli Mn- and Fe-SODs and mammalian Mn-SOD, whereas Fe-SODB was exceptionally resistant to oxidant-mediated inactivation. We report mass spectrometry analysis indicating that peroxynitrite-mediated inactivation of T. cruzi Fe-SODs is due to the site-specific nitration of the critical and universally conserved Tyr(35). Searching for structural differences, the crystal structure of Fe-SODA was solved at 2.2 Å resolution. Structural analysis comparing both Fe-SOD isoforms reveals differences in key cysteines and tryptophan residues. Thiol alkylation of Fe-SODB cysteines made the enzyme more susceptible to peroxynitrite. In particular, Cys(83) mutation (C83S, absent in Fe-SODA) increased the Fe-SODB sensitivity toward peroxynitrite. Molecular dynamics, electron paramagnetic resonance, and immunospin trapping analysis revealed that Cys(83) present in Fe-SODB acts as an electron donor that repairs Tyr(35) radical via intramolecular electron transfer, preventing peroxynitrite-dependent nitration and consequent inactivation of Fe-SODB. Parasites exposed to exogenous or endogenous sources of peroxynitrite resulted in nitration and inactivation of Fe-SODA but not Fe-SODB, suggesting that these enzymes play distinctive biological roles during parasite infection of mammalian cells.

Abstract
It is shown that nitrogen dioxide oxidizes thiamine to thiamine disulfide, thiochrome, and oxodihydrothiochrome (ODTch). The latter is formed during oxidation of thiochrome by nitrogen dioxide. Nitrogen dioxide was produced by incubation of nitrite with horse ferric myoglobin and human hemoglobin in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. After addition of tyrosine or phenol to aqueous solutions containing oxoferryl forms of the hemoproteins, thiamine, and nitrite, the yield of thiochrome greatly increased, whereas the yield of ODTch decreased. In the presence of high concentrations of tyrosine or phenol compounds ODTch was not formed at all. The neutral form of thiamine with the closed thiazole cycle and minor tricyclic form of thiamine do not enter the heme pocket of the protein and do not interact with the oxoferryl heme complex Fe(IV=O) or porphyrin radical. The tricyclic form of thiamine is oxidized to thiochrome by tyrosyl radicals located on the surface of the hemoprotein. The thiol form of thiamine is oxidized to thiamine disulfide by both hemoprotein tyrosyl radicals and oxoferryl heme complexes. Nitrite and also tyrosine, tyramine, and phenol readily penetrate into the heme pocket of the protein and reduce the oxyferryl complex to ferric cation. These reactions yield nitrogen dioxide as well as tyrosyl and phenoxyl radicals of tyrosine molecules and phenol compounds, respectively. Tyrosyl and phenoxyl radicals of low molecular weight compounds oxidize thiamine only to thiochrome and thiamine disulfide. The effect of oxoferryl forms of myoglobin and hemoglobin, nitrogen dioxide, and phenol on thiamine oxidative transformation as well as antioxidant properties of the hydrophobic thiamine metabolites thiochrome and ODTch are discussed.

Abstract
Haematuria is a frequent manifestation of glomerular disease. However, nephrologists devote more attention to the monitoring and therapeutic targeting of another key manifestation of glomerular injury, proteinuria. Recent reports have propelled haematuria to the forefront of clinical nephrology. Thus, glomerular macroscopic haematuria is associated with the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) with predominant tubular cell damage and there is increasing evidence for the negative impact of glomerular haematuria-associated AKI on long-term renal function outcome both in the context of IgA nephropathy and in anticoagulated patients. In addition, an epidemiological association between isolated microscopic haematuria in young adults and long-term incidence of end-stage renal disease has been described. Finally, a clearer understanding of how haematuria may cause tubular injury is emerging through detailed histological assessment of human biopsies and experimental models of haemoglobin-mediated nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
Experimental studies in hemeproteins and model Tyr/Cys-containing peptides exposed to oxidizing and nitrating species suggest that intramolecular electron transfer (IET) between tyrosyl radicals (Tyr-O(·)) and Cys residues controls oxidative modification yields. The molecular basis of this IET process is not sufficiently understood with structural atomic detail. Herein, we analyzed using molecular dynamics and quantum mechanics-based computational calculations, mechanistic possibilities for the radical transfer reaction in Tyr/Cys-containing peptides in solution and correlated them with existing experimental data. Our results support that Tyr-O(·) to Cys radical transfer is mediated by an acid/base equilibrium that involves deprotonation of Cys to form the thiolate, followed by a likely rate-limiting transfer process to yield cysteinyl radical and a Tyr phenolate; proton uptake by Tyr completes the reaction. Both, the pKa values of the Tyr phenol and Cys thiol groups and the energetic and kinetics of the reversible IET are revealed as key physico-chemical factors. The proposed mechanism constitutes a case of sequential, acid/base equilibrium-dependent and solvent-mediated, proton-coupled electron transfer and explains the dependency of oxidative yields in Tyr/Cys peptides as a function of the number of alanine spacers. These findings contribute to explain oxidative modifications in proteins that contain sequence and/or spatially close Tyr-Cys residues.

Abstract
Accumulating Mb (myoglobin) in the kidney following severe burns promotes oxidative damage and inflammation, which leads to acute renal failure. The potential for haem-iron to induce oxidative damage has prompted testing of iron chelators [e.g. DFOB (desferrioxamine B)] as renal protective agents. We compared the ability of DFOB and a DFOB-derivative {DFOB-AdAOH [DFOB-N-(3-hydroxyadamant-1-yl)carboxamide]} to protect renal epithelial cells from Mb insult. Loading kidney-tubule epithelial cells with dihydrorhodamine-123 before exposure to 100 μM Mb increased rhodamine-123 fluorescence relative to controls (absence of Mb), indicating increased oxidative stress. Extracellular Mb elicited a reorganization of the transferrin receptor as assessed by monitoring labelled transferrin uptake with flow cytometry and inverted fluorescence microscopy. Mb stimulated HO-1 (haem oxygenase-1), TNFα (tumour necrosis factor α), and both ICAM (intercellular adhesion molecule) and VCAM (vascular cell adhesion molecule) gene expression and inhibited epithelial monolayer permeability. Pre-treatment with DFOB or DFOB-AdAOH decreased Mb-mediated rhodamine-123 fluorescence, HO-1, ICAM and TNFα gene expression and restored monolayer permeability. MCP-1 (monocyte chemotactic protein 1) secretion increased in cells exposed to Mb-insult and this was abrogated by DFOB or DFOB-AdAOH. Cells treated with DFOB or DFOB-AdAOH alone showed no change in permeability, MCP-1 secretion or HO-1, TNFα, ICAM or VCAM gene expression. Similarly to DFOB, incubation of DFOB-AdAOH with Mb plus H2O2 yielded nitroxide radicals as detected by EPR spectroscopy, indicating a potential antioxidant activity in addition to metal chelation; Fe(III)-loaded DFOB-AdAOH showed no nitroxide radical formation. Overall, the chelators inhibited Mb-induced oxidative stress and inflammation and improved epithelial cell function. DFOB-AdAOH showed similar activity to DFOB, indicating that this novel low-toxicity chelator may protect the kidney after severe burns.

Abstract
The formation of radicals in bovine cytochrome c oxidase (bCcO), during the O(2) redox chemistry and proton translocation, is an unresolved controversial issue. To determine if radicals are formed in the catalytic reaction of bCcO under single turnover conditions, the reaction of O(2) with the enzyme, reduced by either ascorbate or dithionite, was initiated in a custom-built rapid freeze quenching (RFQ) device and the products were trapped at 77K at reaction times ranging from 50μs to 6ms. Additional samples were hand mixed to attain multiple turnover conditions and quenched with a reaction time of minutes. X-band (9GHz) continuous wave electron paramagnetic resonance (CW-EPR) spectra of the reaction products revealed the formation of a narrow radical with both reductants. D-band (130GHz) pulsed EPR spectra allowed for the determination of the g-tensor principal values and revealed that when ascorbate was used as the reductant the dominant radical species was localized on the ascorbyl moiety, and when dithionite was used as the reductant the radical was the SO(2)(-) ion. When the contributions from the reductants are subtracted from the spectra, no evidence for a protein-based radical could be found in the reaction of O(2) with reduced bCcO. As a surrogate for radicals formed on reaction intermediates, the reaction of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) with oxidized bCcO was studied at pH 6 and pH 8 by trapping the products at 50μs with the RFQ device to determine the initial reaction events. For comparison, radicals formed after several minutes of incubation were also examined, and X-band and D-band analysis led to the identification of radicals on Tyr-244 and Tyr-129. In the RFQ measurements, a peroxyl (ROO) species was formed, presumably by the reaction between O(2) and an amino acid-based radical. It is postulated that Tyr-129 may play a central role as a proton loading site during proton translocation by ejecting a proton upon formation of the radical species and then becoming reprotonated during its reduction via a chain of three water molecules originating from the region of the propionate groups of heme a(3). This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: "Allosteric cooperativity in respiratory proteins".

Abstract
Abstract Rhabdomyolysis caused by severe burn releases extracellular myoglobin (Mb) that accumulates in the kidney and urine (maximum [Mb] approximately 50 microM) (termed myoglobinuria). Extracellular Mb can be a pro-oxidant. This study cultured Madin-Darby-canine-kidney-Type-II (MDCK II) cells in the presence of Mb and tested whether supplementation with a synthetic tert-butyl-polyphenol (tert-butyl-bisphenol; t-BP) protects these renal cells from dysfunction. In the absence of t-BP, cells exposed to 0-100 microM Mb for 24 h showed a dose-dependent decrease in ATP and the total thiol (TSH) redox status without loss of viability. Gene expression of superoxide dismutases-1/2, haemoxygenase-1 and tumour necrosis factor increased and receptor-mediated endocytosis of transferrin and monolayer permeability decreased significantly. Supplementation with t-BP before Mb-insult maintained ATP and the TSH redox status, diminished antioxidant/pro-inflammatory gene responses, enhanced monolayer permissiveness and restored transferrin uptake. Overall, bolstering the total antioxidant capacity of the kidney may protect against oxidative stress induced by experimental myoglobinuria.

Abstract
SUMMARY
For more than 100 years, myoglobin has been among the most extensively studied proteins. Since the first comprehensive review on myoglobin function as a dioxygen store by Millikan in 1939 and the discovery of its structure 50 years ago, multiple studies have extended our understanding of its occurrence, properties and functions. Beyond the two major roles, the storage and the facilitation of dioxygen diffusion, recent physiological studies have revealed that myoglobin acts as a potent scavenger of nitric oxide (NO•) representing a control system that preserves mitochondrial respiration. In addition, myoglobin may also protect the heart against reactive oxygen species (ROS), and, under hypoxic conditions, deoxygenated myoglobin is able to reduce nitrite to NO• leading to a downregulation of the cardiac energy status and to a decreased heart injury after reoxygenation. Thus, by controlling the NO• bioavailability via scavenging or formation, myoglobin serves as part of a sensitive dioxygen sensory system. In this review, the physiological relevance of these recent findings are delineated for pathological states where NO• and ROS bioavailability are known to be critical determinants for the outcome of the disease, e.g. ischemia/reperfusion injury. Detrimental and beneficial effects of the presence of myoglobin are discussed for various states of tissue oxygen tension within the heart and skeletal muscle. Furthermore, the impact of myoglobin on parasite infection, rhabdomyolysis, hindlimb and liver ischemia, angiogenesis and tumor growth are considered.

Abstract
Hinge cleavage of a recombinant human IgG1 antibody, generated during production in a Chinese hamster ovary cell culture, was observed in the purified material. The cleavage products could be reproduced by incubation of the antibody with H(2)O(2) and featured complementary ladders of the C- and N-terminal residues (Asp(226)-Lys(227)-Thr(228)-His(229)-Thr(230)) in the heavy chain of the Fab domain and the upper hinge of one of the Fc domains, respectively. Two adducts of +45 and +71 Da were also observed at the N-terminal residues of some Fc fragments and were identified as isocyanate and alpha-ketoacyl derivatives generated by radical cleavage at the alpha-carbon position through the diamide and alpha-amidation pathways. We determined that the hinge cleavage was initiated by radical-induced breakage of the disulfide bond between the two hinge cysteines at position 231 (Cys(231)-Pro-Pro-Cys-Pro), followed by the formation of a thiyl radical (Cys(231)-S(*)) on one cysteine and sulfenic acid (Cys(231)-SOH) on the other. The location of the initial radical attack and the critical role of Cys(231) were demonstrated by the observation that 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide only reacted with the Cys(231) radical and completely blocked hinge cleavage, suggesting the necessity of an electron/radical transfer from the Cys(231) radical to the hinge residues where cleavage was observed. As a precursor of hydroxyl radicals, H(2)O(2) is widely produced in healthy cells and tissues and therefore could be the source for the radical-induced fragmentation of human IgG1 antibodies in vivo.

Abstract
Myeloperoxidase catalyzes the reaction of chloride ions with H(2)O(2) to yield hypochlorous acid (HOCl), which can damage proteins. Human myoglobin (HMb) differs from other Mbs by the presence of a cysteine residue at position 110 (Cys110). This study has (i) compared wild-type and a Cys110Ala variant of HMb to assess the influence of Cys110 on HOCl-induced amino acid modification and (ii) determined whether HOCl oxidation of HMb affects the rate of ferric heme reduction by cytochrome b(5). For wild-type HMb (HOCl:Mb ratio of 5:1 mol:mol), Cys110 was preferentially oxidized to a homodimeric or cysteic acid product-sulfenic/sulfinic acids were not detected. At a HOCl:Mb ratio 10:1 mol:mol, methionine (Met) oxidation was detected, and this was enhanced in the Cys110Ala variant. Tryptophan (Trp) oxidation was detected only in the Cys110Ala variant at the highest HOCl dose tested, with oxidation susceptibility following the order Cys>Met>Trp. Tyrosine chlorination was evident only in reactions between HOCl and the Cys110Ala variant and at a longer incubation time (24 h), consistent with the formation via chlorine-transfer reactions from preformed chloramines. HOCl-mediated oxidation of wild-type HMb resulted in a dose-dependent decrease in the observed rate constant for ferric heme reduction (approx two-fold at HOCl:Mb of 10:1 mol:mol). These data indicate that Cys110 influences the oxidation of HMb by HOCl and that oxidation of Cys, Met, and Trp residues is associated with a decrease in the one-electron reduction of ferric HMb by other proteins; such heme-Fe(3+) reduction is critical to the maintenance of function as an oxygen storage protein in tissues.

Abstract
Spin scavenging combined with chromatographic and mass spectrometric procedures can, in principle, be employed to detect and identify protein-based radicals within complex biological matrices. This approach is based on the well-known ability of stable synthetic nitroxide radicals to scavenge carbon-centered radicals, forming stable diamagnetic addition products. Hence, characterization of these addition products would allow for the identification of specific free radicals. In the present work, we have explored the use of the stable nitroxide radical 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl (TEMPOL) in scavenging protein-based radicals generated in a horse heart metmyoglobin/hydrogen peroxide (metMb/H(2)O(2)) system. Inclusion of a substoichiometric amount of TEMPOL in the metMb/H(2)O(2) system resulted in a complete loss of peroxyl and tyrosyl radical signals and effectively inhibited the formation of oxidatively damaged heme species, as monitored by electron paramagnetic resonance and reversed-phase liquid chromatography. Scavenging of globin radicals by TEMPOL did not lead to the formation of stable diamagnetic addition adducts; in fact, reversed-phase liquid chromatographic studies and oxygen electrode measurements indicated that TEMPOL acts as a catalyst and is recycled in this system. The oxoammonium cation generated in the course of this reaction initiated secondary reactions resulting in the formation of a free carbonyl on the N-terminal Gly-residue of the protein. This oxidative deamination was confirmed through the combined use of reversed-phase liquid chromatographic purification, tandem MS experiments, and chemical analysis (e.g., by use of 2,4-dinitrophenyl hydrazine). The results reveal the pitfalls inherent in using stable nitroxide radicals such as TEMPOL to identify sites of radical formation on hemoproteins.

Abstract
An off-line mass spectrometry method that combines immuno-spin trapping and chromatographic procedures has been developed for selective detection of the nitrone spin trap 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO) covalently attached to proteins, an attachment which occurs only subsequent to DMPO trapping of free radicals. In this technique, the protein-DMPO nitrone adducts are digested to peptides with proteolytic agents, peptides from the enzymatic digest are separated by HPLC, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) using polyclonal anti-DMPO nitrone antiserum are used to detect the eluted HPLC fractions that contain DMPO nitrone adducts. The fractions showing positive ELISA signals are then concentrated and characterized by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). This method, which constitutes the first liquid chromatography-ELISA-mass spectrometry (LC-ELISA-MS)-based strategy for selective identification of DMPO-trapped protein residues in complex peptide mixtures, facilitates location and preparative fractionation of DMPO nitrone adducts for further structural characterization. The strategy is demonstrated for human hemoglobin, horse heart myoglobin, and sperm whale myoglobin, three globin proteins known to form DMPO-trappable protein radicals on treatment with H(2)O(2). The results demonstrate the power of the new experimental strategy to select DMPO-labeled peptides and identify sites of DMPO covalent attachments.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) is a condition leading to serious complications due to death of cardiac myocytes. We used the cardiomyocyte-like cell line H9c2 to study the mechanism underlying cell damage. Exposure of the cells to simulated I/R lead to their apoptosis. Over-expression of Bcl-2 and Bcl-x(L) protected the cells from apoptosis while over-expression of Bax sensitized them to programmed cell death induction. Mitochondria-targeted coenzyme Q (mitoQ) and superoxide dismutase both inhibited accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and apoptosis induction. Notably, mtDNA-deficient cells responded to I/R by decreased ROS generation and apoptosis. Using both in situ and in vivo approaches, it was found that apoptosis occurred during reperfusion following ischemia, and recovery was enhanced when hearts from mice were supplemented with mitoQ. In conclusion, I/R results in apoptosis in cultured cardiac myocytes and heart tissue largely via generation of mitochondria-derived superoxide, with ensuing apoptosis during the reperfusion phase.

Abstract
This contribution presents novel biochemical perspectives of protein electron transfer (ET) with focus on the iminium nature of the peptide link, along with relationships to reproductive toxicity. The favorable influence of hydrogen bonding on protein ET has been widely documented. Hydrogen bonding of the zwitterionic peptide enhances iminium character. A wide array of such bonding agents is available in vivo, with many reports on the peptide link itself. ET proceeds along the backbone, due in part, to homoconjugation. Redox amino acids (AAs), mainly tyrosine (Tyr), tryptophan (Typ), histidine (His), cysteine (Cys), disulfide, and methionine (Met), are involved in the competing processes for radical formation: direct hydrogen atom abstraction versus electron and proton loss. It appears that the radical or radical cation generated during the redox process is capable of interacting with n-electrons of the backbone. Beneficial effects of cationic AAs impact the conduction process. A relationship apparently exists involving cell signaling, protein conduction, and radicals or electrons. In addition, the link between protein ET and reproductive toxicity is examined. A key element is the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by protein ET. There is extensive evidence for involvement of ROS in generation of birth defects. The radical species arise in protein mainly by ET transformations by enzymes, as illustrated in the case of alcoholism.

Abstract
The cyclooxygenase (COX) activity of prostaglandin endoperoxide H synthases (PGHSs) converts arachidonic acid and O2 to prostaglandin G2 (PGG2). PGHS peroxidase (POX) activity reduces PGG2 to PGH2. The first step in POX catalysis is formation of an oxyferryl heme radical cation (Compound I), which undergoes intramolecular electron transfer forming Intermediate II having an oxyferryl heme and a Tyr-385 radical required for COX catalysis. PGHS POX catalyzes heterolytic cleavage of primary and secondary hydroperoxides much more readily than H2O2, but the basis for this specificity has been unresolved. Several large amino acids form a hydrophobic "dome" over part of the heme, but when these residues were mutated to alanines there was little effect on Compound I formation from H2O2 or 15-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid, a surrogate substrate for PGG2. Ab initio calculations of heterolytic bond dissociation energies of the peroxyl groups of small peroxides indicated that they are almost the same. Molecular Dynamics simulations suggest that PGG2 binds the POX site through a peroxyl-iron bond, a hydrogen bond with His-207 and van der Waals interactions involving methylene groups adjoining the carbon bearing the peroxyl group and the protoporphyrin IX. We speculate that these latter interactions, which are not possible with H2O2, are major contributors to PGHS POX specificity. The distal Gln-203 four residues removed from His-207 have been thought to be essential for Compound I formation. However, Q203V PGHS-1 and PGHS-2 mutants catalyzed heterolytic cleavage of peroxides and exhibited native COX activity. PGHSs are homodimers with each monomer having a POX site and COX site. Cross-talk occurs between the COX sites of adjoining monomers. However, no cross-talk between the POX and COX sites of monomers was detected in a PGHS-2 heterodimer comprised of a Q203R monomer having an inactive POX site and a G533A monomer with an inactive COX site.

Abstract
The modification of human myoglobin (HMb) by reaction with nitrite and hydrogen peroxide has been investigated. This reaction is important because NO(2) (-) and H(2)O(2) are formed in vivo under conditions of oxidative and nitrative stress, where protein derivatization has been often observed. The abundance of HMb in tissues and in the heart makes it a potential source and target of reactive species generated in the body. The oxidant and nitrating species produced by HMb/H(2)O(2)/NO(2) (-) are nitrogen dioxide and peroxynitrite, which can react with exogenous substrates and endogenous protein residues. Tandem mass analysis of HMb modified by stoichiometric amounts of H(2)O(2) and NO(2) (-) indicated the presence of two endogenous derivatizations: oxidation of C110 to sulfinic acid (76 %) and nitration of Y103 to 3-nitrotyrosine (44 %). When higher concentrations of NO(2) (-) and H(2)O(2) were used, nitration of Y146 and of the heme were also observed. The two-dimensional gel-electrophoretic analysis of the modified HMbs showed spots more acidic than that of wild-type HMb, a result in agreement with the formation of sulfinic acid and nitrotyrosine residues. By contrast, the reaction showed no evidence for the formation of protein homodimers, as observed in the reaction of HMb with H(2)O(2) alone. Both HMb and the modified HMb are active in the H(2)O(2)/NO(2) (-)-dependent nitration of exogenous phenols. Their catalytic activity is quite similar and the endogenous modifications of HMb therefore have little effect on the reactivity of the protein intermediates.

Abstract
The mechanism of the reactions of myoglobin and hemoglobin with *OH and CO3*- in the presence of oxygen was studied using pulse and gamma-radiolysis. Unlike *NO2, which adds to the porphyrin iron, *OH and CO3*- form globin radicals. These secondary radicals oxidize the Fe(II) center through both intra- and intermolecular processes. The intermolecular pathway was further demonstrated when BSA radicals derived from *OH or CO3*- oxidized oxyhemoglobin and oxymyoglobin to their respective ferric states. The oxidation yields obtained by pulse radiolysis were lower compared to gamma-radiolysis, where the contribution of radical-radical reactions is negligible. Full oxidation yields by *OH-derived globin radicals could be achieved only at relatively high concentrations of the heme protein mainly via an intermolecular pathway. It is suggested that CO3*- reaction with the protein yields Tyr and/or Trp-derived phenoxyl radicals, which solely oxidize the porphyrin iron under gamma-radiolysis conditions. The *OH particularly adds to aromatic residues, which can undergo elimination of H2O forming the phenoxyl radical, and/or react rapidly with O2 yielding peroxyl radicals. The peroxyl radical can oxidize a neighboring porphyrin iron and/or give rise to superoxide, which neither oxidize nor reduce the porphyrin iron. The potential physiological implications of this chemistry are that hemoglobin and myoglobin, being present at relatively high concentrations, can detoxify highly oxidizing radicals yielding the respective ferric states, which are not toxic.

Abstract
The reaction between hydroperoxides and the haem group of proteins and enzymes is important for the function of many enzymes but has also been implicated in a number of pathological conditions where oxygen binding proteins interact with hydrogen peroxide or other peroxides. The haem group in the oxidized Fe3+ (ferric) state reacts with hydroperoxides with a formation of the Fe4+=O (oxoferryl) haem state and a free radical primarily located on the pi-system of the haem. The radical is then transferred to an amino acid residue of the protein and undergoes further transfer and transformation processes. The free radicals formed in this reaction are reviewed for a number of proteins and enzymes. Their previously published EPR spectra are analysed in a comparative way. The radicals directly detected in most systems are tyrosyl radicals and the peroxyl radicals formed on tryptophan and possibly cysteine. The locations of the radicals in the proteins have been reported as follows: Tyr133 in soybean leghaemoglobin; alphaTyr42, alphaTrp14, betaTrp15, betaCys93, (alphaTyr24-alphaHis20), all in the alpha- and beta-subunits of human haemoglobin; Tyr103, Tyr151 and Trp14 in sperm whale myoglobin; Tyr103, Tyr146 and Trp14 in horse myoglobin; Trp14, Tyr103 and Cys110 in human Mb. The sequence of events leading to radical formation, transformation and transfer, both intra- and intermolecularly, is considered. The free radicals induced by peroxides in the enzymes are reviewed. Those include: lignin peroxidase, cytochrome c peroxidase, cytochrome c oxidase, turnip isoperoxidase 7, bovine catalase, two isoforms of prostaglandin H synthase, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Synechocystis PCC6803 catalase-peroxidases.

Abstract
Proteins are a major target for oxidants as a result of their abundance in biological systems, and their high rate constants for reaction. Kinetic data for a number of radicals and non-radical oxidants (e.g. singlet oxygen and hypochlorous acid) are consistent with proteins consuming the majority of these species generated within cells. Oxidation can occur at both the protein backbone and on the amino acid side-chains, with the ratio of attack dependent on a number of factors. With some oxidants, damage is limited and specific to certain residues, whereas other species, such as the hydroxyl radical, give rise to widespread, relatively non-specific damage. Some of the major oxidation pathways, and products formed, are reviewed. The latter include reactive species, such as peroxides, which can induce further oxidation and chain reactions (within proteins, and via damage transfer to other molecules) and stable products. Particular emphasis is given to the oxidation of methionine residues, as this species is readily oxidised by a wide range of oxidants. Some side-chain oxidation products, including methionine sulfoxide, can be employed as sensitive, specific, markers of oxidative damage. The product profile can, in some cases, provide valuable information on the species involved; selected examples of this approach are discussed. Most protein damage is non-repairable, and has deleterious consequences on protein structure and function; methionine sulfoxide formation can however be reversed in some circumstances. The major fate of oxidised proteins is catabolism by proteosomal and lysosomal pathways, but some materials appear to be poorly degraded and accumulate within cells. The accumulation of such damaged material may contribute to a range of human pathologies.

Abstract
The purpose was to apply oxidative crosslinking reactions to the study of recognition and signaling mechanisms associated to G-protein-coupled receptors. Using a ruthenium chelate, Ru(bipy)(3)(2+), as photosensitizer and visible light irradiation, in the presence of ammonium persulfate, we performed fast and efficient covalent labeling of the B(2) bradykinin receptor by agonist or antagonist ligands possessing a radio-iodinated phenol moiety. The chemical and topographical specificities of these crosslinking experiments were investigated. The strategy could also be applied to the covalent labeling of the B(1) bradykinin receptor, the AT(1) angiotensin II receptor, the V(1a) vasopressin receptor and the oxytocin receptor. Interestingly, we demonstrated the possibility to covalently label the AT(1) and B(2) receptors with functionalized ligands. The potential applications of metal-chelate chemistry to receptor structural and signaling studies through intramolecular or intermolecular crosslinking are presented.

Abstract
Mb (myoglobin) plus H2O2 catalyses the oxidation of various substrates via a peroxidase-like activity. A Y103F (Tyr103-->Phe) variant of human Mb has been constructed to assess the effect of exchanging an electron-rich oxidizable amino acid on the peroxidase activity of human Mb. Steady-state analyses of reaction mixtures containing Y103F Mb, purified linoleic acid and H2O2 revealed a lower total yield of lipid oxidation products than mixtures containing the wild-type protein, consistent with the reported decrease in the rate constant for reaction of Y103F Mb with H2O2 [Witting, Mauk and Lay (2002) Biochemistry 41, 11495-11503]. Irrespective of the Mb employed, lipid oxidation yielded 9(R/S)-HODE [9(R,S)-hydroxy-10E,12Z-octadecadienoic acid] in preference to 13(R/S)-HODE [13(R,S)-hydroxy-9Z,11E-octadecadienoic acid], while 9- and 13-keto-octadecadienoic acid were formed in trace amounts. However, lipid oxidation by the Y103F variant of Mb proceeded with a lower V(max) value and an increased K(m) value relative to the wild-type control. Consistent with the increased K(m), the product distribution from reactions with Y103F Mb showed decreased selectivity compared with the wild-type protein, as judged by the decreased yield of 9(S)-relative to 9(R)-HODE. Together, these data verify that Tyr103 plays a significant role in substrate binding and orientation in the haem pocket of human Mb. Also, the midpoint potential for the Fe(III)/(II) one-electron reduction was shifted slightly, but significantly, to a higher potential, confirming the importance of Tyr103 to the hydrogen-bonding network involving residues that line the haem crevice of human Mb.

Abstract
Cytochrome c (cyt c)-derived protein radicals, radical adduct aggregates, and protein tyrosine nitration have been implicated in the pro-apoptotic event connecting inflammation to the development of diseases. During inflammation, one of the reactive oxygen species metabolized via neutrophil activation is hypochlorite (HOCl); destruction of the mitochondrial electron transport chain by hypochlorite is considered to be a damaging factor. Previous study has shown that HOCl induces the site-specific oxidation of cyt c at met-80. In this work, we have assessed the hypothesis that exposure of cyt c to physiologically relevant concentrations of HOCl leads to protein-derived radical and consequent protein aggregation, which subsequently affects cyt c's regulation of nitric oxide metabolism. Reaction intermediates, chemical pathways available for protein aggregation, and protein nitration were examined. A weak ESR signal for immobilized nitroxide derived from the protein was detected when a high concentration of cyt c was reacted with hypochlorite in the presence of the nitroso spin trap 2-methyl-2-nitrosopropane. When a low concentration of cyt c was exposed to the physiologically relevant levels of HOCl in the presence of 5,5-dimethyl-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO), we detected DMPO nitrone adducts derived from both protein and protein aggregate radicals as assessed by Western blot using an antibody raised against the DMPO nitrone adduct. The cyt c-derived protein radicals formed by HOCl were located on lysine and tyrosine residues, with lysine predominating. Cyt c-derived protein aggregates induced by HOCl involved primarily lysine residues and hydrophobic interaction. In addition, HOCl-oxidized cyt c (HOCl-cyt c) exhibited a higher affinity for NO and enhancement of nonenzymatic NO synthesis from nitrite reduction. Furthermore, HOCl-mediated cyt c oxidation also resulted in a significant elevation of cyt c nitration derived from either NO trapping of the cyt c-derived tyrosyl radical or cyt c-catalyzed one-electron oxidation of nitrite.

Abstract
The UV properties of key oxygen intermediates of cytochrome c oxidase have been investigated by transient absorption spectroscopy. The temporal behavior of P(m) species upon aerobic incubation with CO or in the reaction with H(2)O(2) is closely concurred by a new optical shift at 290/260 nm. In the acid-induced conversion of P(m) to F(*), it is replaced by another shift at 323/288 nm. The wavelength and intensity of the UV signal observed in F(*) match closely the properties of model Trp? in agreement with results of ENDOR studies on this species. The UV spectrum of Tyr* gives the closest match with the 290/260 nm signal observed in P(m). On the basis of analysis of possible UV chromophores in CcO and similarity to Tyr*, the 290/260 nm signal is proposed to originate from the H(240)-Y(244)* site. Possible effects of local environment on UV properties of this site are discussed.

Abstract
Redox reactions of hemoglobin have gained importance because of the general interest of the role of oxidative stress in diseases and the possible role of red blood cells in oxidative stress. Although electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) is extremely valuable in studying hemoglobin redox reactions it has not been adequately used. We have focused in this review on the important contributions of EPR to our understanding of hemoglobin redox reactions. We have limited our discussion to the redox reactions thought to occur under physiological conditions. This includes autoxidation as well as the reactions of hydrogen peroxide generated by superoxide dismutation. We have also discussed redox reactions associated with nitric oxide produced in the circulation. We have pinpointed the value of using EPR to detect and study the paramagnetic species and free radicals formed during these reactions. We have shown how EPR not only identifies the paramagnetic species formed but can also be used to provide insights into the mechanism involved in the redox reactions.

Abstract
The reaction between metmyoglobin and hydrogen peroxide results in the two-electron reduction of H2O2 by the protein, with concomitant formation of a ferryl-oxo heme and a protein-centered free radical. Sperm whale metmyoglobin, which contains three tyrosine residues (Tyr-103, Tyr-146, and Tyr-151) and two tryptophan residues (Trp-7 and Trp-14), forms a tryptophanyl radical at residue 14 that reacts with O2 to form a peroxyl radical and also forms distinct tyrosyl radicals at Tyr-103 and Tyr-151. Horse metmyoglobin, which lacks Tyr-151 of the sperm whale protein, forms an oxygen-reactive tryptophanyl radical and also a phenoxyl radical at Tyr-103. Human metmyoglobin, in addition to the tyrosine and tryptophan radicals formed on horse metmyoglobin, also forms a Cys-110-centered thiyl radical that can also form a peroxyl radical. The tryptophanyl radicals react both with molecular oxygen and with the spin trap 3,5-dibromo-4-nitrosobenzenesulfonic acid (DBNBS). The spin trap 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO) traps the Tyr-103 radicals and the Cys-110 thiyl radical of human myoglobin, and 2-methyl-2-nitrosopropane (MNP) traps all of the tyrosyl radicals. When excess H2O2 is used, DBNBS traps only a tyrosyl radical on horse myoglobin, but the detection of peroxyl radicals and the loss of tryptophan fluorescence support tryptophan oxidation under those conditions. Kinetic analysis of the formation of the various free radicals suggests that tryptophanyl radical and tyrosyl radical formation are independent events, and that formation of the Cys-110 thiyl radical on human myoglobin occurs via oxidation of the thiol group by the Tyr-103 phenoxyl radical. Peptide mapping studies of the radical adducts and direct EPR studies at low temperature and room temperature support the conclusions of the EPR spin trapping studies.

Abstract
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spin trapping was originally developed to aid the detection of low-molecular-mass radicals formed in chemical systems. It has subsequently found widespread use in biology and medicine for the direct detection of radical species formed during oxidative stress and via enzymatic reactions. Over the last 15 years this technique has also found increasing use in detecting and identifying radicals formed on biological macromolecules as a result of either radical reactions or enzymatic processes. Though the EPR signals that result from the trapping of large, slowly tumbling radicals are often broad and relatively poor in distinctive features, a number of techniques have been developed that allow a wealth of information to be obtained about the nature, site, and reactions of such radicals. This article summarizes recent developments in this area and reviews selected examples of radical formation on proteins.

Abstract
A novel anti-5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO) polyclonal antiserum that specifically recognizes protein radical-derived DMPO nitrone adducts has been developed. In this study, we employed this new approach, which combines the specificity of spin trapping and the sensitivity of antigen-antibody interactions, to investigate protein radical formation from lactoperoxidase (LPO). When LPO reacted with GSH in the presence of DMPO, we detected an LPO radical-derived DMPO nitrone adduct using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blotting. The formation of this nitrone adduct depended on the concentrations of GSH, LPO, and DMPO as well as pH values, and GSH could not be replaced by H(2)O(2). The level of this nitrone adduct was decreased significantly by azide, catalase, ascorbate, iodide, thiocyanate, phenol, or nitrite. However, its formation was unaffected by chemical modification of free cysteine, tyrosine, and tryptophan residues on LPO. ESR spectra showed that a glutathiyl radical was formed from the LPO/GSH/DMPO system, but no protein radical adduct could be detected by ESR. Its formation was decreased by azide, catalase, ascorbate, iodide, or thiocyanate, whereas phenol or nitrite increased it. GSH caused marked changes in the spectrum of compound II of LPO, indicating that GSH binds to the heme of compound II, whereas phenol or nitrite prevented these changes and reduced compound II back to the native enzyme. GSH also dose-dependently inhibited the peroxidase activity of LPO as determined by measuring 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) oxidation. Taken together, these results demonstrate that the GSH-dependent LPO radical formation is mediated by the glutathiyl radical, possibly via the reaction of the glutathiyl radical with the heme of compound II to form a heme-centered radical trapped by DMPO.

Abstract
In an effort to understand the mechanism of radical formation on heme proteins, the formation of radicals on hemoglobin was initiated by reaction with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of the spin trap 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO). The DMPO nitrone adducts were analyzed by mass spectrometry (MS) and immuno-spin trapping. The spin-trapped protein adducts were then subjected to tryptic digestion and MS analyses. When hemoglobin was reacted with hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) in the presence of DMPO, a DMPO nitrone adduct could be detected by immuno-spin trapping. To verify that DMPO adducts of the protein free radicals had been formed, the reaction mixtures were analyzed by flow injection electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI/MS). The ESI mass spectrum of the hemoglobin/H(2)O(2)/DMPO sample shows one adduct each on both the alpha chain and the beta chain of hemoglobin which corresponds in mass to the addition of one DMPO molecule. The nature of the radicals formed on hemoglobin was explored using proteolysis techniques followed by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) analyses. The following sites of DMPO addition were identified on hemoglobin: Cys-93 of the beta chain, and Tyr-42, Tyr-24, and His-20 of the alpha chain. Because of the pi-pi interaction of Tyr-24 and His-20, the unpaired electron is apparently delocalized on both the tyrosine and histidine residue (pi-pi stacked pair radical).

Abstract
Peroxynitrite, a strong oxidant formed intravascularly in vivo, can diffuse onto erythrocytes and be largely consumed via a fast reaction (2 x 10(4) m(-1) s(-1)) with oxyhemoglobin. The reaction mechanism of peroxynitrite with oxyhemoglobin that results in the formation of methemoglobin remains to be elucidated. In this work, we studied the reaction under biologically relevant conditions using millimolar oxyhemoglobin concentrations and a stoichiometric excess of oxyhemoglobin over peroxynitrite. The results support a reaction mechanism that involves the net one-electron oxidation of the ferrous heme, isomerization of peroxynitrite to nitrate, and production of superoxide radical and hydrogen peroxide. Homolytic cleavage of peroxynitrite within the heme iron allows the formation of ferrylhemoglobin in approximately 10% yields, which can decay to methemoglobin at the expense of reducing equivalents of the globin moiety. Indeed, spin-trapping studies using 2-methyl-2-nitroso propane and 5,5 dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO) demonstrated the formation of tyrosyl- and cysteinyl-derived radicals. DMPO also inhibited covalently linked dimerization products and led to the formation of DMPO-hemoglobin adducts. Hemoglobin nitration was not observed unless an excess of peroxynitrite over oxyhemoglobin was used, in agreement with a marginal formation of nitrogen dioxide. The results obtained support a role of oxyhemoglobin as a relevant intravascular sink of peroxynitrite.

Abstract
Ketoprofen (3-benzoyl-alpha-methylbenzeneacetic acid, KP) is a widely used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that causes both phototoxicity and photoallergy. Here, we investigated the formation of hemoglobin radicals, in both purified hemoglobin and red blood cells (RBC), induced by ultraviolet A (UVA)-KP by using "immuno-spin trapping," a novel approach that combines the specificity of spin trapping with the sensitivity of antigen-antibody interactions. The methemoglobin (metHb) radicals react covalently with 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO) to form nitroxyl radical adducts that are oxidized to the corresponding nitrone adducts, which in turn are specifically recognized by antiserum against DMPO nitrone. We found that the formation of nitrone adducts in metHb depended on the UVA dose, the KP concentration and the presence of DMPO, as determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blotting. Adduct formation decreased when irradiation was carried out in the presence of catalase or nitrogen, suggesting that H2O2 plays a key role in KP-UVA-induced metHb radical formation. KP in the dark did not generate metHb radical-derived nitrone adducts, whereas UVA alone resulted in the formation of metHb radical-derived nitrone adducts that increased with UVA dose from 4 to 10 J/cm2. However, KP (25 and 200 microM) plus UVA (4 and 10 J/cm2) resulted in a significant increase in the formation of metHb radical-derived nitrone adducts as compared with UVA or KP alone, indicating that KP photosensitized the production of the metHb radicals in the presence of UVA. In contrast, no metHb radical-derived nitrone adduct was detected in the absence of DMPO, even though KP and UVA were present. We also detected the hemoglobin radical formation in RBC as well as in hemolysates. The endogenous antioxidants and exogenous reduced glutathione inhibited the protein radical formation. These studies have shown that the immuno-spin-trapping technique can be used to detect radical damage in proteins as a result of photosensitizing reactions. The successful detection of protein radical formation caused by KP photosensitization could help further understand the photoallergic effect of this NSAID.
