[PMID: 38126313 DOI: 10.1080/03602532.2023.2297154] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2023] [Accepted: 12/15/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
Drug metabolism is one of the critical determinants of drug disposition throughout the body. While traditionally associated with the liver, recent research has unveiled the presence and functional significance of drug-metabolizing enzymes (DMEs) within the brain. Specifically, cytochrome P-450 enzymes (CYPs) and UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) enzymes have emerged as key players in drug biotransformation within the central nervous system (CNS). This comprehensive review explores the cellular and subcellular distribution of CYPs and UGTs within the CNS, emphasizing regional expression and contrasting profiles between the liver and brain, humans and rats. Moreover, we discuss the impact of species and sex differences on CYPs and UGTs within the CNS. This review also provides an overview of methodologies for identifying and quantifying enzyme activities in the brain. Additionally, we present factors influencing CYPs and UGTs activities in the brain, including genetic polymorphisms, physiological variables, pathophysiological conditions, and environmental factors. Examples of CYP- and UGT-mediated drug metabolism within the brain are presented at the end, illustrating the pivotal role of these enzymes in drug therapy and potential toxicity. In conclusion, this review enhances our understanding of drug metabolism's significance in the brain, with a specific focus on CYPs and UGTs. Insights into the expression, activity, and influential factors of these enzymes within the CNS have crucial implications for drug development, the design of safe drug treatment strategies, and the comprehension of drug actions within the CNS. To that end, CNS pharmacokinetic (PK) models can be improved to further advance drug development and personalized therapy.

Pardhe BD, Oh TJ. Analysis of critical residues for peroxygenation and improved peroxygenase activity via in situ H 2O 2 generation in CYP105D18. Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1296202. [PMID: 38149268 PMCID: PMC10750395 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1296202] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 12/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Limited numbers of CYPs have been reported to work naturally as peroxygenases. The peroxide shunt pathway can be efficiently used as an alternative for the NAD(P)H and reductase systems, particularly in high hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) resistance CYPs. We reported the structural and biochemical features of CYP105D18 peroxygenase for its high H2O2 tolerance capacity. Q348 was a crucial residue for the stability of CYP105D18 during the exposure to H2O2. In addition, the role of the hydrophilic amino acid T239 from the I helix for peroxygenation and regiospecificity toward testosterone was investigated. Interestingly, T239E differs in product formation from wild type, catalyzing testosterone to androstenedione in the presence of H2O2. The other variant, T239A, worked with the Pdx/Pdr system and was unable to catalyze testosterone conversion in the presence of H2O2, suggesting the transformation of peroxygenase into monooxygenase. CYP105D18 supported the alternative method of H2O2 used for the catalysis of testosterone. The use of the same concentration of urea hydrogen peroxide adducts in place of direct H2O2 was more efficient for 2β-hydroxytestosterone conversion. Furthermore, in situ H2O2 generation using GOx/glucose system enhanced the catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) for wild type and F184A by 1.3- and 1.9-fold, respectively, compared to direct use of H2O2 The engineering of CYP105D18, its improved peroxygenase activity, and alteration in the product oxidation facilitate CYP105D18 as a potential candidate for biotechnological applications.

PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2023; 114:154774. [PMID: 36996530 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2023.154774] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2022] [Revised: 03/06/2023] [Accepted: 03/16/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is currently the third leading cause of death globally. Oxidative stress affects various molecular mechanisms and is the main driving factor of COPD. Ally isothiocyanate (AITC) is an effective component of Semen Sinapis Albae, which has favorable effects for the treatment of COPD, but its mechanism has not been fully elucidated. PURPOSE This study aimed to elucidate the antioxidant effect of AITC on COPD and its molecular mechanism, and preliminarily determine the role of AhR in the progression of COPD. STUDY DESIGN The COPD rat model was established by smoking combined with intratracheal instillation of lipopolysaccharide. Different doses of AITC, positive control drug acetylcysteine, AhR inhibitor alpha-naphthoflavone, and agonist beta-naphthoflavone were administered by gavage. Human bronchial epithelial cells induced by cigarette smoke extract (CSE) were used in an in vitro model to explore the molecular mechanisms of AITC. METHODS The effects of AITC on lung function and oxidative stress in rats were evaluated in vivo using the respiratory function test, white blood cell count, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and histological staining. The changes in protein expression in the lung tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. RT-PCR, western blotting, and immunofluorescence were used to explore the molecular mechanisms of AITC. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, reactive oxygen species probing, and flow cytometry were used to determine the antioxidant effect of AITC. RESULTS AITC can improve the lung function of rats with COPD, restore lung tissue structure, improve oxidative stress, reduce inflammation, and inhibit lung cell apoptosis. AITC reversed the upregulation of AhR and CYP1A1 and the down-regulation of Nrf2 and NQO1 in the lung tissues of rats with COPD. CSE stimulation can increase the expressions of AhR and CYP1A1 and decrease the expressions of Nrf2 and NQO1 in 16HBE cells, leading to severe oxidative stress and inflammatory response and, ultimately, apoptosis. AITC inhibited AhR and CYP1A1 expressions, induced Nrf2 and NQO1 expressions, promoted Nrf2 nuclear translocation, and improved CSE-induced toxicological effects. CONCLUSION AITC may improve lung oxidative stress by inhibiting the AhR / CYP1A1 and activating the Nrf2 / NQO1 pathways, thereby delaying the pathological progression of COPD.

Abstract
Niclosamide has been proposed as a possible candidate for a Covid-19 drug. However, the metabolites of niclosamide are difficult to investigate because they are usually not available commercially or they are quite expensive in the commercial market. In this study, the major metabolite of niclosamide in human liver microsomes (HLMs) was confirmed to be 3-OH niclosamide. Because the production of 3-OH niclosamide using HLMs has a slow turnover rate, a new method of producing niclosamide metabolite with an easier and highly cost-efficient method was thus conducted. Bacterial CYP102A1 (BM3) is one of the bacterial cytochrome P450s (CYPs) from Bacillus megaterium that structurally show similar activities to human CYPs. Here, the BM3 mutants were used to produce niclosamide metabolites and the metabolites were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography and LC-mass spectrometry. Among a set of mutants tested here, BM3 M14 mutant was the most active in producing 3-OH niclosamide, the major metabolite of niclosamide. Comparing BM3 M14 and HLMs, BM3 M14 production of 3-OH niclosamide was 34-fold higher than that of HLMs. Hence, the engineering of BM3 can be a cost-efficient method to produce 3-OH niclosamide.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chlorogenic acid (CGA) has been shown to reduce pro-inflammation by scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species. In this study, the anti-inflammatory effect of CGA was expanded to streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. The inter-relationships among oxidative stress, pro-inflammation, and cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A enzymes were also investigated in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of STZ-diabetic rats. RESULTS The levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha, increased by approximately 3.4- and 2.9-fold, respectively, and the albumin concentration decreased in the serum of STZ-induced diabetic rats compared to normal rats. The C-reactive protein (CRP) values also increased by about 3.8-fold higher, indicating that STZ induced an inflammation in the blood of STZ-diabetic rats. The expression levels and catalytic activities of CYP1A enzymes were elevated by approximately 2.2-2.5- and 4.3-6.7-fold, respectively, in the PBMC of STZ-treated rats. A decrease in the amount of PBMC-bound albumin was also observed. In contrast, the levels of cytokines and CRP in serum and the activities of CYP1A enzymes in PBMC were significantly reduced in CGA-treated diabetic rats in a CGA concentration-dependent manner. In addition, STZ-mediated elevation of ROS in serum and PBMC was decreased by the CGA administration. However, the CGA treatment did not change the enhanced blood glucose level and expression of CYP1A enzymes by STZ. STZ-mediated decrease in the levels of serum and PBMC-bound albumin was not also restored by the CGA administration. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that CGA could be used to treat type 1 diabetes-induced inflammation.

Abstract
Anthocyanins are water-soluble, colored compounds of the flavonoid class, abundantly found in the fruits, leaves, roots, and other parts of the plants. The fruit berries are prime sources and exhibit different colors. The anthocyanins utility as traditional medicament for liver protection and cure, and importance as strongest plants-based anti-oxidants have conferred these plants products different biological activities. These activities include anti-inflammation, liver protective, analgesic, and anti-cancers, which have provided the anthocyanins an immense commercial value, and has impelled their chemistry, biological activity, isolation, and quality investigations as prime focus. Methods in extraction and production of anthocyanin-based products have assumed vital economic importance. Different extraction techniques in aquatic solvents mixtures, eutectic solvents, and other chemically reactive extractions including low acid concentrations-based extractions have been developed. The prophylactic and curative therapy roles of the anthocyanins, together with no reported toxicity has offered much-needed impetus and economic benefits to these classes of compounds which are commercially available. Information retrieval from various search engines, including the PubMed®, ScienceDirect®, Scopus®, and Google Scholar®, were used in the review preparation. This imparted an outlook on the anthocyanins occurrence, roles in plants, isolation-extraction, structures, biosynthetic as well as semi- and total-synthetic pathways, product quality and yields enhancements, including uses as part of traditional medicines, and uses in liver disorders, prophylactic and therapeutic applications in liver protection and longevity, liver cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. The review also highlights the integrated approach to yields maximizations to meet the regular demands of the anthocyanins products, also as part of the extract-rich preparations together with a listing of marketed products available for human consumption as nutraceuticals/food supplements.

Abstract
Drug-drug interactions are a major cause of hospitalization and deaths related to drug use. A large fraction of these is due to inhibition of enzymes involved in drug metabolism and transport, particularly cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes. Understanding basic mechanisms of enzyme inhibition is important, particularly in terms of reversibility and the use of the appropriate parameters. In addition to drug-drug interactions, issues have involved interactions of drugs with foods and natural products related to P450 enzymes. Predicting drug-drug interactions is a major effort in drug development in the pharmaceutical industry and regulatory agencies. With appropriate in vitro experiments, it is possible to stratify clinical drug-drug interaction studies. A better understanding of drug interactions and training of physicians and pharmacists has developed. Finally, some P450s have been the targets of drugs in some cancers and other disease states.

Abstract
Drug metabolism is a critical process for the removal of unwanted substances from the body. In humans, approximately 80% of oxidative metabolism and almost 50% of the overall elimination of commonly used drugs can be attributed to one or more of various cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes from CYP families 1-3. In addition to the basic metabolic effects for elimination, CYP enzymes in vivo are capable of affecting the treatment outcomes in many cases. Drug-metabolizing CYP enzymes are mainly expressed in the liver and intestine, the two principal drug oxidation and elimination organs, where they can significantly influence the drug action, safety, and bioavailability by mediating phase I metabolism and first-pass metabolism. Furthermore, CYP-mediated local drug metabolism in the sites of action may also have the potential to impact drug response, according to the literature in recent years. This article underlines the ability of CYP enzymes to influence treatment outcomes by discussing CYP-mediated diversified drug metabolism in primary metabolic sites (liver and intestine) and typical action sites (brain and tumors) according to their expression levels and metabolic activity. Moreover, intrinsic and extrinsic factors of personal differential CYP phenotypes that contribute to interindividual variation of treatment outcomes are also reviewed to introduce the multifarious pivotal role of CYP-mediated metabolism and clearance in drug therapy.

Abstract
CYP2D6 is a major drug metabolizing enzyme with a buried active site. Channels leading to the active site from various enzyme surfaces are believed to facilitate ligand egress and access to the active site. The present study used molecular dynamics (MD) and in vitro studies with CYP2D6*1 and a Trp75-to-Ala mutant to examine channel gating in CYP2D6 by Trp75. MD simulations measured energy landscapes of Trp75 conformations and simulated substrate passage within channel 2b using bufuralol as a model substrate. Trp75 alternated between multiple stable states that supported substrate transport along channel 2b with low-energy barriers between states (∼ -1 kcal/mol). Trp75 conformations were stabilized primarily by hydrogen bonding between Trp75 and Glu222, Asn226, Ala225, or Gln72. Energy barriers were low between Trp75 conformations, allowing Trp75 to easily move between various conformations over time and to function in both binding to and moving substrates in the 2b channel of CYP2D6. Michaelis-Menten kinetic studies completed with purified enzyme in a reconstituted system showed overall reduced enzyme efficiency for metabolism of bufuralol and dextromethorphan by the Trp75Ala mutant compared with CYP2D6*1. In stopped-flow measurements, k off for dextromethorphan was decreased in the absence of Trp75. Our results support a role for Trp75 in substrate shuttling to the active site of CYP2D6. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Using combined molecular dynamics and in vitro assays, this study shows for the first time a role for Trp75 as a channel entrance gating residue in the mechanism of substrate binding/unbinding in CYP2D6. Energy landscapes derived from molecular dynamics were used to quantitate the strength of gating, and kinetics assays showed the impact on enzyme efficiency and k off of a Trp75Ala mutation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hyperoxic lung injury is a condition that can occur in patients in need of supplemental oxygen, such as premature infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia or adults with acute respiratory distress syndrome. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes play critical roles in the metabolism of endogenous and exogenous compounds. AREAS COVERED Through their complex pathways, some subfamilies of these enzymes may contribute to or protect against hyperoxic lung injury. Oxidative stress from reactive oxygen species (ROS) production is most likely a major contributor of hyperoxic lung injury. CYP1A enzymes have been shown to protect against hyperoxic lung injury while CYP1B enzymes seem to contribute to it. CYP2J2 enzymes help protect against hyperoxic lung injury by triggering EET production, thereby, increasing antioxidant enzymes. The metabolism of arachidonic acid to ω-terminal hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETEs) by CYP4A and CYP4F enzymes could impact hyperoxic lung injury via the vasodilating effects of 20-HETE. CYP2E1 and CYP2A enzymes may contribute to the oxidative stress in the lungs caused by ethanol- and nicotine-metabolism, respectively. EXPERT OPINION Overall, the CYP enzymes, depending upon the isoform, play a contributory or protective role in hyperoxic lung injury, and are, therefore, ideal candidates for developing drugs that can treat oxygen-mediated lung injury.

Abstract
Many hepatic cytochrome P450 enzymes and their associated drug metabolizing activities are down-regulated in disease states, and much of this has been associated with inflammatory cytokines and their signaling pathways. One such pathway is the induction of inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS2) and generation of nitric oxide (NO) in many tissues and cells including the liver and hepatocytes. Experiments in the 1990s demonstrated that NO could bind to and inhibit P450 enzymes, and suggested that inhibition of NOS could attenuate, and NO generation could mimic, the down-regulation by inflammatory stimuli of not only P450 catalytic activities but also of mRNA expression and protein levels of certain P450 enzymes. This review will summarize and examine the evidence that NO functionally inhibits and down-regulates P450 enzymes in vivo and in vitro, with a particular focus on the mechanisms by which these effects are achieved.

RAPID COMMUNICATIONS IN MASS SPECTROMETRY : RCM 2020; 34:e8774. [PMID: 32119756 DOI: 10.1002/rcm.8774] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2019] [Revised: 01/05/2020] [Accepted: 02/23/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
RATIONALE Oxidative stress is an imbalance between reactive free radical oxygen species and antioxidant defenses. Its consequences can lead to numerous pathologies. Regulating oxidative stress is the complex interplay between antioxidant recycling and thiol-containing regulatory proteins. Understanding these regulatory mechanisms is important for preventing onset of oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to investigae S-thiol protein chemistry associated with oxidized vitamin C (dehydroascorbate, DHA), homocysteine (HcySH) and glutathione (GSH) using mass spectrometry. METHODS Glutaredoxin-1 (Grx-1) was incubated with DHA, with and without GSH and HcySH. Disulfide formation was followed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) of intact proteins and by LC/ESI-MS/MS of peptides from protein tryptic digestions. The mechanism of DHA-mediated S-thiolation was investigated using two synthetic peptides: AcFHACAAK and AcFHACE. Three proteins, i.e. human hemoglobin (HHb), recombinant peroxiredoxin 2 (Prdx2) and Grx-1, were S-homocysteinylated followed by S-transthiolyation with GSH and investigated by ESI-MS and ESI-MS/MS. RESULTS ESI-MS analysis reveals that DHA mediates disulfide formation and S-thiolation by HcySH as well as GSH of Grx-1. LC/ESI-MS/MS analysis allows identification of Grx-1 S-thiolated cysteine adducts. The mechanism by which DHA mediates S-thiolation of heptapeptide AcFHACAAK is shown to be via initial formation of a thiohemiketal adduct. In addition, ESI-MS of intact proteins shows that GSH can S-transthiolate S-homocysteinylated Grx-1_ HHb and Prdx2. The GS-S-protein adducts over time dominate the ESI-MS spectrum profile. CONCLUSIONS Mass spectrometry is a unique analytical technique for probing complex reaction mechanisms associated with oxidative stress. Using model proteins, ESI-MS reveals the mechanism of DHA-facilitated S-thiolation, which consists of thiohemiketal formation, disulfide formation or S-thiolation. Furthermore, protein S-thiolation by HcySH can be reversed by reversible GSH thiol exchange. The use of mass spectrometry with in vitro models of protein S-thiolation in oxidative stress may provide significant insight into possible mechanisms of action occurring in vivo.

Abstract
Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based proteomics is a powerful tool for identifying and quantifying proteins in biological samples, outperforming conventional antibody-based methods in many aspects. LC-MS/MS-based proteomics studies have revealed the protein abundances of many drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters (DMETs) in tissues relevant to drug metabolism and disposition. Previous studies have consistently demonstrated marked interindividual variability in DMET protein expression, suggesting that varied DMET function is an important contributing factor for interindividual variability in pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of medications. Moreover, differential DMET expression profiles were observed across different species and in vitro models. Therefore, caution must be exercised when extrapolating animal and in vitro DMET proteomics findings to humans. In recent years, DMET proteomics has been increasingly utilized for the development of physiologically based pharmacokinetic models, and DMET proteins have also been proposed as biomarkers for prediction of the PK and PD of the corresponding substrate drugs. In sum, despite the existence of many challenges in the analytical technology and data analysis methods of LC-MS/MS-based proteomics, DMET proteomics holds great potential to advance our understanding of PK behavior at the individual level and to optimize treatment regimens via the DMET protein biomarker-guided precision pharmacotherapy.

Abstract
Cytochrome P4501A (CYP1A) enzymes play important roles in xenobiotic and endobiotic metabolism. Due to uncoupling reactions during the enzymatic cycle, CYP1A enzymes can release reactive oxidative species (ROS) in the form of superoxide radical, hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radical etc. An imbalance between production of free radicals and the ability of antioxidants to detoxify the free radicals can lead to accumulation of ROS, which in turn can lead to oxidative stress. Oxidative stress can lead to inflammation and toxicity, which in turn can cause human diseases such as bronchopulmonary disease (BPD), ARDS, renal hypertension, etc. CYP1A enzymes, depending on the organ system, they either contribute or protect against oxidative injury. Thus, they have dual roles in regard to oxidative stress. This review presents an overview of the mechanistic relationship between CYP1A enzymes and oxidative stress in relation to various diseases in different organs (e.g., liver, lungs, heart, kidneys, and reproductive organs).

Abstract
Human cytochrome P450 (P450) family 4 enzymes are involved in the metabolism of fatty acids and the bioactivation of carcinogenic arylamines and toxic natural products, e.g., 4-ipomeanol. These and other drug-metabolizing P450s are redox sensitive, showing a loss of activity resulting from preincubation with H2O2 and recovery with mild reducing agents [Albertolle, M. W., et al. (2017) J. Biol. Chem. 292, 11230-11242]. The inhibition is due to sulfenylation of the heme-thiolate ligand, as determined by chemopreoteomics and spectroscopy. This phenomenon may have implications for chemical toxicity and observed disease-drug interactions, in which the decreased metabolism of P450 substrates occurs in patients with inflammatory diseases (e.g., influenza and autoimmunity). Human P450 1A2 was determined to be redox insensitive. To determine the mechanism underlying the differential redox sensitivity, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were employed using the crystal structure of rabbit P450 4B1 (Protein Data Bank entry 5T6Q ). In simulating either the thiolate (Cys-S-) or the sulfenic acid (Cys-SOH) at the heme ligation site, MD revealed Gln-451 in either an "open" or "closed" conformation, respectively, between the cytosol and heme-thiolate cysteine. Mutation to either an isosteric leucine (Q451L) or glutamate (Q451E) abrogated the redox sensitivity, suggesting that this "open" conformation allows for reduction of the sulfenic acid and religation of the thiolate to the heme iron. In summary, MD simulations suggest that Gln-451 in P450 4B1 adopts conformations that may stabilize and protect the heme-thiolate sulfenic acid; mutating this residue destabilizes the interaction, producing a redox insensitive enzyme.

Abstract
Oxidative modifications of cysteine residues are an important component in signaling pathways, enzymatic regulation, and redox homeostasis. Current direct and indirect methods detect specific modifications and a general binary population of "free" or "oxidized" cysteines, respectively. In an effort to combine both direct and indirect detection strategies, here we developed a method that we designate isotopic tagging of oxidized and reduced cysteines (iTORC). This method uses synthetic molecules for rapid isotopic coding of sulfenic acids, reduced cysteines, and disulfides in cells. Our approach utilizes isotopically distinct benzothiazine and halogenated benzothiazine probes to sequentially alkylate sulfenic acids and then free thiols and, finally, after a reduction step, cysteines oxidized to disulfides or other phosphine-reducible states. We ascertained that the iodinated benzothiazine probe has reduced cross-reactivity toward primary amines and is highly reactive with the cysteine of GSH, with a calculated rate constant of 2 × 105 m-1 s-1 (pH 8.0, 23 °C) (i.e. 10-20 times faster than N-ethylmaleimide). We applied iTORC to a mouse hepatocyte lysate to identify known sulfenylated and disulfide-bonded proteins, including elongation factor 1-α1 and mouse serum albumin, and found that iTORC reliably detected their expected oxidation status. This method can be easily employed to study the effects of oxidants on recombinant proteins and cell and tissue extracts, and the efficiencies of the alkylating agents enable completion of all three labeling steps within 2 h. In summary, we demonstrate here that halogenated benzothiazine-based alkylating agents can be utilized to rapidly measure the cellular thiol status in cells.

Abstract
Oxidation of a protein cysteinyl thiol (Cys-SH) to S-sulfenic acid (Cys-SOH) by a reactive oxygen species (e.g., hydrogen peroxide), which is termed protein S-sulfenylation, is a reversible post-translational modification that plays a crucial role in redox regulation of protein function in various biological processes. Due to its intrinsically labile nature, protein S-sulfenylation cannot be directly detected or analyzed. Chemoselective probing has been the method of choice for analyzing S-sulfenylated proteins either in vitro or in situ, as it allows stabilization and direct detection of this transient oxidative intermediate. However, it remains challenging to globally pinpoint the specific S-sulfenylated cysteine sites on complex proteomes and to quantify their dynamic changes upon oxidative stress. This unit describes how a benzothiazine-based chemoselective probe called BTD and mass spectrometry based chemoproteomics can be used to globally and site-specifically identify and quantify protein S-sulfenylation. © 2018 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Abstract
The wide reactivity of the thiol group enables the formation of a variety of reversible, covalent modifications on cysteine residues. S-nitrosylation, like many other post-translational modifications, is site selective, reversible, and necessary for a wide variety of fundamental cellular processes. The overall abundance of S-nitrosylated proteins and reactivity of the nitrosyl group necessitates an enrichment strategy for accurate detection with adequate depth. Herein, a method is presented for the enrichment and detection of endogenous protein S-nitrosylation from complex mixtures of cell or tissue lysate utilizing organomercury resin. Minimal adaptations to the method also support the detection of either S-glutathionylation or S-acylation using the same enrichment platform. When coupled with high accuracy mass spectrometry, these methods enable a site-specific level of analysis, facilitating the curation comparable datasets of three separate cysteine post-translational modifications. © 2018 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Abstract
In this review we address the relationship between cytochromes P450 (P450) and H2O2. This association can affect biology in three distinct ways. First, P450s produce H2O2 as a byproduct either during catalysis or when no substrate is present. This reaction, known as uncoupling, releases reactive oxygen species that may have implications in disease. Second, H2O2 is used as an oxygen-donating co-substrate in peroxygenase and peroxidase reactions catalyzed by P450s. This activity has proven to be important mainly in reactions involving prokaryotic P450s, and investigators have harnessed this reaction with the aim of adaptation for industrial use. Third, H2O2-dependent inhibition of human P450s has been studied in our laboratory, demonstrating heme destruction and also the inactivating oxidation of the heme-thiolate ligand to a sulfenic acid (-SOH). This reversible oxidative modification of P450s may have implications in the prevention of uncoupling and may give new insights into the oxidative regulation of these enzymes. Research has elucidated many of the chemical mechanisms involved in the relationship between P450 and H2O2, but the application to biology is difficult to evaluate. Further studies are needed reveal both the harmful and protective natures of reactive oxygen species in an organismal context.

Abstract
Metabolic phenotype can be affected by multiple factors, including allelic variation and interactions with inhibitors. Human CYP2D6 is responsible for approximately 20% of cytochrome P450-mediated drug metabolism but consists of more than 100 known variants; several variants are commonly found in the population, whereas others are quite rare. Four CYP2D6 allelic variants-three with a series of mutations distal to the active site (*34, *17-2, *17-3) and one ultra-metabolizer with mutations near the active site (*53), along with reference *1 and an active site mutant of *1 (Thr309Ala)-were expressed, purified, and studied for interactions with the typical substrates dextromethorphan and bufuralol and the inactivator SCH 66712. We found that *34, *17-2, and *17-3 displayed reduced enzyme activity and NADPH coupling while producing the same metabolites as *1, suggesting a possible role for Arg296 in NADPH coupling. A higher-activity variant, *53, displayed similar NADPH coupling to *1 but was less susceptible to inactivation by SCH 66712. The Thr309Ala mutant showed similar activity to that of *1 but with greatly reduced NADPH coupling. Overall, these results suggest that kinetic and metabolic analysis of individual CYP2D6 variants is required to understand their possible contributions to variable drug response and the complexity of personalized medicine.
