Abstract
Peroxisomes are essential metabolic organelles, well known for their roles in the metabolism of complex lipids and reactive ionic species. In the past 10 years, peroxisomes have also been cast as central regulators of immunity. Lipid metabolites of peroxisomes, such as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), are precursors for important immune mediators, including leukotrienes (LTs) and resolvins. Peroxisomal redox metabolism modulates cellular immune signaling such as nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) activation. Additionally, peroxisomal β-oxidation and ether lipid synthesis control the development and aspects of the activation of both innate and adaptive immune cells. Finally, peroxisome number and metabolic activity have been linked to inflammatory diseases. These discoveries have opened avenues of investigation aimed at targeting peroxisomes for therapeutic intervention in immune disorders, inflammation, and cancer.

Dehydroeburicoic Acid, a Dual Inhibitor against Oxidative Stress in Alcoholic Liver Disease. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2022; 16:ph16010014.

Abstract
Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a complicated disease which can lead to hepatocellular carcinoma; however, there is a lack of satisfactory therapeutics. Dehydroeburicoic acid (DEA) (1), a triterpenoid isolated from Antrodia cinnamomea, has been reported to act against ALD, but its mechanisms of action are still not clear. In this study, we report for the first time the use of DEA (1) as a dual inhibitor of the Keap1-Nrf2 protein-protein interaction (PPI) and GSK3β in an in vitro ALD cell model. DEA (1) engages Keap1 to disrupt the Keap1-Nrf2 PPI and inhibits GSK3β to restore Nrf2 activity in a Keap1-independent fashion. DEA (1) promotes Nrf2 nuclear translocation to activate downstream antioxidant genes. Importantly, DEA (1) restores the mitochondrial dysfunction induced by ethanol and generates antioxidant activity in the ALD cell model with minimal toxicity. We anticipate that DEA (1) could be a potential scaffold for the further development of clinical agents for treating ALD.

WATER RESEARCH 2022; 221:118740.

Abstract
Solar disinfection (SODIS) was probed for its underlying mechanism. When Escherichia coli was exposed to UVA irradiation, the dominant solar fraction acting in SODIS process, cells exhibited a shoulder before death ensued. This profile resembles cell killing by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Indeed, the use of specialized strains revealed that UVA exposure triggers intracellular H2O2 formation. The resultant H2O2 stress was especially impactful because UVA also inactivated the processes that degrade H2O2-peroxidases through the suppression of metabolism, and catalases through direct enzyme damage. Cell killing was enhanced when water was replaced with D2O, suggesting that singlet oxygen plays a role, possibly as a precursor to H2O2 and/or as the mediator of catalase damage. UVA was especially toxic to mutants lacking miniferritin (dps) or recombinational DNA repair (recA) enzymes, indicating that reactions between ferrous iron and UVA-generated H2O2 lead to lethal DNA damage. Importantly, experiments showed that the intracellular accumulation of H2O2 alone is insufficient to kill cells; therefore, UVA must do something more to enable death. A possibility is that UVA stimulates the reduction of intracellular ferric iron to its ferrous form, either by stimulating O2•- formation or by generating photoexcited electron donors. These observations and methods open the door to follow-up experiments that can probe the mechanisms of H2O2 formation, catalase inactivation, and iron reduction. Of immediate utility, the data highlight the intracellular pathways formed under UVA light during SODIS, and that the presence of micromolar iron accelerates the rate at which radiation disinfects water.

Abstract
Singlet oxygen (1O2) is the excited state of ground, triplet state, molecular oxygen (O2). Photosensitized 1O2 has been extensively studied as one of the reactive oxygen species (ROS), responsible for damage of cellular components (protein, DNA, lipids). On the other hand, its generation has been exploited in organic synthesis, as well as in photodynamic therapy for the treatment of various forms of cancer. The aim of this review is to highlight the versatility of 1O2, discussing the main bioorganic applications reported over the past decades, which rely on its production. After a brief introduction on the photosensitized production of 1O2, we will describe the main aspects involving the biologically relevant damage that can accompany an uncontrolled, aspecific generation of this ROS. We then discuss in more detail a series of biological applications featuring 1O2 generation, including protein and DNA labelling, cross-linking and biosensing. Finally, we will highlight the methodologies available to tailor 1O2 generation, in order to accomplish the proposed bioorganic transformations while avoiding, at the same time, collateral damage related to an untamed production of this reactive species.

Abstract
The immune response is essential to protect organisms from infection and an altered self. An organism’s overall metabolic status is now recognized as an important and long-overlooked mediator of immunity and has spurred new explorations of immune-related metabolic abnormalities. Peroxisomes are essential metabolic organelles with a central role in the synthesis and turnover of complex lipids and reactive species. Peroxisomes have recently been identified as pivotal regulators of immune functions and inflammation in the development and during infection, defining a new branch of immunometabolism. This review summarizes the current evidence that has helped to identify peroxisomes as central regulators of immunity and highlights the peroxisomal proteins and metabolites that have acquired relevance in human pathologies for their link to the development of inflammation, neuropathies, aging and cancer. This review then describes how peroxisomes govern immune signaling strategies such as phagocytosis and cytokine production and their relevance in fighting bacterial and viral infections. The mechanisms by which peroxisomes either control the activation of the immune response or trigger cellular metabolic changes that activate and resolve immune responses are also described.

Abstract
Experimental evidence suggests an immense variety of processes associated with and aimed at producing reactive oxygen and/or nitrogen species. Clinical studies implicate an enormous range of pathologies associated with reactive oxygen/nitrogen species metabolism deregulation, particularly oxidative stress. Recent advances in biochemistry, proteomics and molecular biology/biophysics of cells suggest oxidative stress to be an endpoint of complex dysregulation events of conjugated pathways consolidated under the term, proposed here, "oxidative status". The oxidative status concept, in order to allow for novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, requires elaboration of a new logic system comprehending all the features, versatility and complexity of cellular pro- and antioxidative components of different nature. We have developed a curated and regularly updated interactive interactome map of human cellular-level oxidative status allowing for systematization of the related most up-to-date experimental data. A total of more than 600 papers were selected for the initial creation of the map. The map comprises more than 300 individual factors with respective interactions, all subdivided hierarchically for logical analysis purposes. The pilot application of the interactome map suggested several points for further development of oxidative status-based technologies.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) was discovered over one hundred years ago when it was observed that certain dyes could kill microorganisms when exposed to light in the presence of oxygen. Since those early days, PDT has mainly been developed as a cancer therapy and as a way to destroy proliferating blood vessels. However, recently it has become apparent that PDT may also be used as an effective antimicrobial modality and a potential treatment for localized infections. This review discusses the similarities and differences between the application of PDT for the treatment of microbial infections and for cancer lesions. Type I and type II photodynamic processes are described, and the structure-function relationships of optimal anticancer and antimicrobial photosensitizers are outlined. The different targeting strategies, intracellular photosensitizer localization, and pharmacokinetic properties of photosensitizers required for these two different PDT applications are compared and contrasted. Finally, the ability of PDT to stimulate an adaptive or innate immune response against pathogens and tumors is also covered.

Abstract
8-Oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine is one the most abundant base lesions in pro- and eukaryotic DNA. In mammalian cells, it is excised by the 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (OGG1) during DNA base-excision repair, and the generated free 8-oxoG base is one of the DNA-derived biomarkers of oxidative stress in biological samples. The modification of 8-oxoG in the context of nucleoside and DNA has been the subject of many studies; however, the oxidative transformation of the free 8-oxoG base has not been described. By using biochemical and cell biological assays, we show that in the presence of molecular oxygen, the free 8-oxoG base transforms to a highly reactive hydroperoxide (8-oxoG*). Specifically, 8-oxoG* oxidizes Amplex red to resorufin, H(2)DCF to DCF, Fe(2+) to Fe(3+), and GSH to GSSG. This property of 8-oxoG* was diminished by treatment with catalase and glutathione peroxidase, but not superoxide dismutase. 8-OxoG* formation was prevented by reducing agents or nitrogen atmosphere. Its addition to CM-H(2)DCF-DA-loaded cells rapidly increased intracellular DCF fluorescence. There were no such properties observed for 8-oxodeoxyguanosine, 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimidine, 2'-deoxyguanosine, guanine, adenine, guanosine, and 8-hydroxyadenine. These data imply that a free 8-oxoG base is more susceptible to oxidation than is its nucleoside form and, consequently, it stands as unique among intact and oxidatively modified purines.

Abstract
Catalase (CAT; EC 1.11.1.6) isolated from leaves of the halophytic plant Mesembryanthemum crystallinum is characterized by a high apparent molecular mass of about 320kDa, and high resistance to denaturing agents (10% ME). SDS-treatment breaks active oligomeric CAT into the less active and putatively dimeric form of 160kDa apparent molecular mass. Three subunits are resolved after denaturing PAGE: 79, 74 and 62kDa. Higher molecular masses of subunits coincide with increased activity of CAT. M. crystallinum leaf CAT reveals a diel variation in the resistance to denaturing factors and the stability of CAT is increased in a light-dependent manner both in C(3)- and in CAM-induced plants. Unchanged level of leaf CAT transcripts is documented in the diurnal cycle of C(3) plants and after salinity-induced crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM).

Abstract
The harmful effects of UVA radiation (320-400 nm) on the skin have been related to the generation of reactive oxygen species. Pheomelanin, the pigment characteristic of fair-skinned individuals, amplifies these effects. In vitro, in the presence of photosensitizing agents, UVA light produces singlet oxygen, which reacts with several targets. We have investigated a possible correlation between melanin-type and the antioxidant defense system after UV, focusing on the activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase, which correlated with the phototype of epidermal reconstructs. UVA was more effective than UVB in damaging these enzymatic activities, especially catalase. Furthermore, UVA irradiation induced a free-radical-mediated damage in the cells, leading to an oxidation of cell proteins. On catalase, synthetic pheomelanin amplified this effect on specific targets, such as residues of tryptophan and methionine. UVA irradiation of low phototype reconstructed epidermis and of U937 through synthetic pheomelanin induced a modification in the electrophoretic properties of native catalase, which was counteracted by histidine, a quencher of singlet oxygen. These results demonstrate that pheomelanin could act as a photosensitizing agent, following UVA irradiation, inducing charge modifications of native catalase, by a mechanism involving singlet oxygen or its downstream products.

Abstract
Purified catalase-1 (CAT-1) from Neurospora crassa asexual spores is oxidized by singlet oxygen giving rise to active enzyme forms with different electrophoretic mobility. These enzyme forms are detected in vivo under stress conditions and during development at the start of the asexual morphogenetic transitions. CAT-1 heme b is oxidized to heme d by singlet oxygen. Here, we describe functional and structural comparisons of the non-oxidized enzyme with the fully oxidized one. Using a broad H(2)O(2) concentration range (0.01-3.0 M), non-hyperbolic saturation kinetics was found in both enzymes, indicating that kinetic complexity does not arise from heme oxidation. The kinetics was consistent with the existence of two kinds of active sites differing more than 10-times in substrate affinity. Positive cooperativity for one or both of the saturation curves is possible. Kinetic constants obtained at 22 degrees C varied slightly and apparent activation energies for the reaction of both components are not significantly different. Protein fluorescence and circular dicroism of the two enzymes were nearly identical, indicating no gross conformational change with oxidation. Increased sensitivity to inhibition by cyanide indicated a local change at the active site in the oxidized catalase. Oxidized catalase was less resistant to high temperatures, high guanidinium ion concentration, and digestion with subtilisin. It was also less stable than the non-oxidized enzyme at an acid pH. The overall data show that the oxidized enzyme is structurally different from the non-oxidized one, although it conserves most of the remarkable stability and catalytic efficiency of the non-oxidized enzyme. Because the enzyme in the cell can be oxidized under physiological conditions, preservation of functional and structural properties of catalase could have been selected through evolution to assure an active enzyme under oxidative stress conditions.

Abstract
Catalase-1, one of four catalase activities of Neurospora crassa, is associated with non-growing cells and accumulates in asexual spores. It is a large, tetrameric, highly efficient, and durable enzyme that is active even at molar concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. Catalase-1 is oxidized at the heme by singlet oxygen without significant effects on enzyme activity. Here we present the crystal structure of catalase-1 at 1.75A resolution. Compared to structures of other catalases of the large class, the main differences were found at the carboxy-terminal domain. The heme group is rotated 180 degrees around the alpha-gamma-meso carbon axis with respect to clade 3 small catalases. There is no co-ordination bond of the ferric ion at the heme distal side in catalase-1. The catalase-1 structure exhibited partial oxidation of heme b to heme d. Singlet oxygen, produced catalytically or by photosensitization, may hydroxylate C5 and C6 of pyrrole ring III with a subsequent formation of a gamma-spirolactone in C6. The modification site in catalases depends on the way dioxygen exits the protein: mainly through the central channel or the main channel in large and small catalases, respectively. The catalase-1 structure revealed an unusual covalent bond between a cysteine sulphur atom and the essential tyrosine residue of the proximal side of the active site. A peptide with the predicted theoretical mass of the two bound tryptic peptides was detected by mass spectrometry. A mechanism for the Cys-Tyr covalent bond formation is proposed. The tyrosine bound to the cysteine residue would be less prone to donate electrons to compound I to form compound II, explaining catalase-1 resistance to substrate inhibition and inactivation. An apparent constriction of the main channel at Ser198 lead us to propose a gate that opens the narrow part of the channel when there is sufficient hydrogen peroxide in the small cavity before the gate. This mechanism would explain the increase in catalytic velocity as the hydrogen peroxide concentration rises.

Abstract
Metarhizium anisopliae isolates have a wide insect host range, but an impediment to their commercial use as a biocontrol agent of above-ground insects is the high susceptibility of spores to the near-UV present in solar irradiation. To understand stress responses in M. anisopliae, we initiated studies of enzymes that protect against oxidative stress in two strains selected because their spores differed in sensitivity to UV-B. Spores of the more near-UV resistant strain in M. anisopliae 324 displayed different isozyme profiles for catalase-peroxidase, glutathione reductase, and superoxide dismutase when compared with the less resistant strain 2575. A transient loss in activity of catalase-peroxidase and glutathione reductase was observed during germination of the spores, whereas the intensity of isozymes displaying superoxide dismutase did not change as the mycelium developed. Isozyme composition for catalase-peroxidases and glutathione reductase in germlings changed with growth phase. UV-B exposure from lamps reduced the activity of isozymes displaying catalase-peroxidase and glutathione reductase activities in 2575 more than in 324. The major effect of solar UV-A plus UV-B also was a reduction in catalase-peroxidases isozyme level, a finding confirmed by measurement of catalase specific activity. Impaired growth of M. anisopliae after near-UV exposure may be related to reduced abilities to handle oxidative stress.

Abstract
Proteins comprise approximately 68% of the dry weight of cells and tissues and are therefore potentially major targets for oxidative damage. Two major types of processes can occur during the exposure of proteins to UV or visible light. The first of these involves direct photo-oxidation arising from the absorption of UV radiation by the protein, or bound chromophore groups, thereby generating excited states (singlet or triplets) or radicals via photo-ionisation. The second major process involves indirect oxidation of the protein via the formation and subsequent reactions of singlet oxygen generated by the transfer of energy to ground state (triplet) molecular oxygen by either protein-bound, or other, chromophores. Singlet oxygen can also be generated by a range of other enzymatic and non-enzymatic reactions including processes mediated by heme proteins, lipoxygenases, and activated leukocytes, as well as radical termination reactions. This paper reviews the data available on singlet oxygen-mediated protein oxidation and concentrates primarily on the mechanisms by which this excited state species brings about changes to both the side-chains and backbone of amino acids, peptides, and proteins. Recent work on the identification of reactive peroxide intermediates formed on Tyr, His, and Trp residues is discussed. These peroxides may be important propagating species in protein oxidation as they can initiate further oxidation via both radical and non-radical reactions. Such processes can result in the transmittal of damage to other biological targets, and may play a significant role in bystander damage, or dark reactions, in systems where proteins are subjected to oxidation.

Abstract
Phagocytes represent a powerful defense system against invading microorganisms that threaten the life or functional integrity of the host. The capacity to generate and release substantial amounts of reactive oxygen species is a unique property of activated polymorphonuclear and mononuclear phagocytes. The crucial role of these molecules in killing microorganisms and their consecutive contribution to tissue damage during injury and inflammation is widely known. Although much research has been done to explore the molecular events involved in the interaction of oxygen intermediates with microbes or host tissue, surprisingly little attention has been paid to the effect of reactive metabolites on the phagocyte itself. This fact is especially surprising, since it is apparent that the activated phagocyte is directly exposed to its own toxic metabolites. The potential damage occurring during excessive radical formation might notably alter the vital functions of these primarily immunocompetent cells. Moreover, the critical role of oxygen radicals in apoptosis of leukocytes has been recently revealed. Apoptosis is now supposed to represent a key mechanism in neutrophil deactivation and resolution of inflammation. Therefore, this review will focus on the delicate balance between released oxidants and antioxidative protection within the phagocytes themselves. General and phagocyte-specific antioxidative mechanisms, which have co-evolved with the radical generating machinery of phagocytes, are discussed, since the outcome of local inflammation can directly depend on this antioxidative capacity and might range from adequate elimination of the pathogen with minimal acute tissue damage to progression towards a systemic inflammatory response syndrome.

Abstract
Catalase-1 (Cat-1), one of the two monofunctional catalases of Neurospora crassa, increases during asexual spore formation to constitute 0.6% of total protein in conidia. Cat-1 was purified 170-fold with a yield of 48% from conidiating cultures. Like most monofunctional catalases, Cat-1 is a homotetramer, resistant to inactivation by solvents, fully active over a pH range of 4-12, and inactivated by 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole. Unlike most monofunctional catalases, Cat-1 consists of 88 kDa monomers that are glycosylated with alpha-glucose and/or alpha-mannose, is unusually stable, and is not inactivated or inhibited by hydrogen peroxide. Cat-1 was more resistant than other catalases to heat inactivation and to high concentrations of salt and denaturants. Cat-1 exhibited unusual kinetics: at molar concentrations of hydrogen peroxide the apparent V was 10 times higher than at millimolar concentrations. Inactivation of Cat-1 activity with azide and hydroxylamine was according to first order kinetics, while cyanide at micromolar concentrations was a reversible competitive inhibitor.
