Abstract
Linusorbs (LOs), significantly influence oil quality and sensory properties of flaxseed oil. Trp-containing LOs exhibit distinct oxidative behavior when γ-tocopherol (γ-T) is present. Polar fractions of crude flaxseed oil were stripped via silica absorption, and reintroduced (LO and γ-T) separately into the oil matrix to investigate their interaction during storage. Compared with crude oil, LOs account for 18.49% reduction of p-anisidine value, while LOs with γ-T contributed to most of the endogenous antioxidant effect in crude oil. γ-T was found to suppress oxidation of Trp-containing LO at early stage (Met form), while facilitate oxidation while at their mid-stage (MetO form, Methionine sulfoxide). In vitro oxidation shows that CLD more likely cleaved into peptide fragments, while few products retain intact ring structures. LC-MS/MS analysis and silicon simulation revealed proximity between MetO and Trp residues, facilitating inter- or intra-molecular reactions and ring structure rupture. Remarkably, the presence of γ-T facilitate these phenomena.

Abstract
Thrombosis is the leading cause of death in many diseased conditions. Oxidative stress is characteristic of these conditions. Yet, the mechanisms through which oxidants become prothrombotic are unclear. Recent evidence suggests protein cysteine and methionine oxidation as prothrombotic regulators. These oxidative post-translational modifications occur on proteins that participate in the thrombotic process, including Src family kinases, protein disulfide isomerase, β2 glycoprotein I, von Willebrand factor, and fibrinogen. New chemical tools to identify oxidized cysteine and methionine proteins in thrombosis and hemostasis, including carbon nucleophiles for cysteine sulfenylation and oxaziridines for methionine, are critical to understanding why clots occur during oxidative stress. These mechanisms will identify alternative or novel therapeutic approaches to treat thrombotic disorders in diseased conditions.

Abstract
Trypanosoma cruzi is the causal agent of Chagas Disease and is a unicellular parasite that infects a wide variety of mammalian hosts. The parasite exhibits auxotrophy by L-Met; consequently, it must be acquired from the extracellular environment of the host, either mammalian or invertebrate. Methionine (Met) oxidation produces a racemic mixture (R and S forms) of methionine sulfoxide (MetSO). Reduction of L-MetSO (free or protein-bound) to L-Met is catalyzed by methionine sulfoxide reductases (MSRs). Bioinformatics analyses identified the coding sequence for a free-R-MSR (fRMSR) enzyme in the genome of T. cruzi Dm28c. Structurally, this enzyme is a modular protein with a putative N-terminal GAF domain linked to a C-terminal TIP41 motif. We performed detailed biochemical and kinetic characterization of the GAF domain of fRMSR in combination with mutant versions of specific cysteine residues, namely, Cys12, Cys98, Cys108, and Cys132. The isolated recombinant GAF domain and full-length fRMSR exhibited specific catalytic activity for the reduction of free L-Met(R)SO (non-protein bound), using tryparedoxins as reducing partners. We demonstrated that this process involves two Cys residues, Cys98 and Cys132. Cys132 is the essential catalytic residue on which a sulfenic acid intermediate is formed. Cys98 is the resolutive Cys, which forms a disulfide bond with Cys132 as a catalytic step. Overall, our results provide new insights into redox metabolism in T. cruzi, contributing to previous knowledge of L-Met metabolism in this parasite.

Abstract
Polyphenol-protein reactions in model solutions of β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) incubated with (-)-epicatechin at 37 °C and 60 °C were monitored by microLC-timsTOF Pro-MS/MS combined with bioinformatics strategies. The addition of (-)-epicatechin to the model solutions resulted in changes in tryptic peptide profiles. Covalent bond formation between (-)-epicatechin o-quinones and β-LG was identified for the residues S27, S30, K60, C66, K69, and C160, with C160 being the predominant binding site. Furthermore, the incubation of β-LG with (-)-epicatechin significantly promoted oxidation, especially for the residues M7 and M24. The reaction of monomeric (-)-epicatechino-quinone at C160 was also identified in the milk chocolate sample. The adaptation of this study by extending the scope of the reaction products offers significant potential for comprehensive food profiling strategies.

Abstract
High levels of methionine (Met) and its metabolites, such as methionine sulfoxide (MetO), found in hypermethioninemia, can be detrimental to the body; however, the underlying mechanisms are still uncertain. Using a recently standardized protocol, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of chronic administration of Met and/or MetO on parameters of oxidative damage in the total brain, liver, and kidney of young mice. Swiss male mice were subcutaneously injected with Met and MetO at concentrations of 0.35-1.2 g/kg body weight and 0.09-0.3 g/kg body weight, respectively, from the 10th-38th day post-birth, while the control group was treated with saline solution. Results showed that Met and/or MetO caused an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipoperoxidation, along with a reduction of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities in the brain. In the liver, Met and/or MetO enhanced ROS and nitrite levels, and reduced SOD, CAT, and delta aminolevulinic dehydratase activities. The effects on the kidney were an increase in ROS production and SOD activity, and a reduction in thiol content and CAT activity. These data demonstrated the contribution of redox imbalance to the systemic changes found in patients with hypermethioninemia. In conclusion, our findings may help future studies to better understand the pathophysiological mechanisms of hypermethioninemia as well as contribute to the search for new therapeutic agents for this pathology.

Abstract
Methionine (Met) can be oxidized to methionine sulfoxide (MetO), which exist as R- and S-diastereomers. Present in all three domains of life, methionine sulfoxide reductases (MSR) are the enzymes that reduce MetO back to Met. Most characterized among them are MSRA and MSRB, which are strictly stereospecific for the S- and R-diastereomers of MetO, respectively. While the majority of MSRs use a catalytic Cys to reduce their substrates, some employ selenocysteine. This is the case of mammalian MSRB1, which was initially discovered as selenoprotein SELR or SELX and later was found to exhibit an MSRB activity. Genomic analyses demonstrated its occurrence in most animal lineages, and biochemical and structural analyses uncovered its catalytic mechanism. The use of transgenic mice and mammalian cell culture revealed its physiological importance in the protection against oxidative stress, maintenance of neuronal cells, cognition, cancer cell proliferation, and the immune response. Coincident with the discovery of Met oxidizing MICAL enzymes, recent findings of MSRB1 regulating the innate immunity response through reversible stereospecific Met-R-oxidation of cytoskeletal actin opened up new avenues for biological importance of MSRB1 and its role in disease. In this review, we discuss the current state of research on MSRB1, compare it with other animal Msrs, and offer a perspective on further understanding of biological functions of this selenoprotein.

Abstract
Methionine oxidation is a reversible post-translational protein modification, affecting protein function, and implicated in aging and degenerative diseases. The detection of accumulating methionine oxidation in living cells or organisms, however, has not been achieved. Here we introduce a genetically encoded probe for methionine oxidation (GEPMO), based on the super-folder green fluorescent protein (sfGFP), as a specific, versatile, and integrating sensor for methionine oxidation. Placed at amino-acid position 147 in an otherwise methionine-less sfGFP, the oxidation of this specific methionine to methionine sulfoxide results in a ratiometric fluorescence change when excited with ∼400 and ∼470 nm light. The strength and homogeneity of the sensor expression is suited for live-cell imaging as well as fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) experiments using standard laser wavelengths (405/488 nm). Expressed in mammalian cells and also in S. cerevisiae, the sensor protein faithfully reports on the status of methionine oxidation in an integrating manner. Variants targeted to membranes and the mitochondria provide subcellular resolution of methionine oxidation, e.g. reporting on site-specific oxidation by illumination of endogenous protoporphyrin IX.

Abstract
Methionine is a common excipient used in therapeutic protein liquid formulations as stabilizer and antioxidant. The oxidation of methionine to methionine sulfoxide can be regarded as a sensitive marker of oxidative stress for drug product storage conditions. In this study, a sensitive HPLC method for the quantification of methionine sulfoxide in formulated protein product was developed and qualified according to regulatory requirements using a SIELC® Primesep 100 column with UV detection. The separation involves a mixed-mode mechanism including reversed phase and cationic exchange modalities. The operating range of the method was established between 1 µM and 35 µM of methionine sulfoxide. In this testing range, the method was shown to be linear (R2 > 0.99), accurate (Recovery 92.9 - 103.6%, average recovery = 99.8 ± 1.4%) and precise (intermediate precision at LoQ, CV = 2.9%). The developed test system was successfully applied to study the effects of temperature and storage conditions on methionine sulfoxide formation in complex therapeutic antibody formulations.

Abstract
Methionine, either as a free amino acid or included in proteins, can be oxidized into methionine sulfoxide (MetO), which exists as R and S diastereomers. Almost all characterized organisms possess thiol-oxidoreductases named methionine sulfoxide reductase (Msr) enzymes to reduce MetO back to Met. MsrA and MsrB reduce the S and R diastereomers of MetO, respectively, with strict stereospecificity and are found in almost all organisms. Another type of thiol-oxidoreductase, the free-methionine-R-sulfoxide reductase (fRMsr), identified so far in prokaryotes and a few unicellular eukaryotes, reduces the R MetO diastereomer of the free amino acid. Moreover, some bacteria possess molybdenum-containing enzymes that reduce MetO, either in the free or protein-bound forms. All these Msrs play important roles in the protection of organisms against oxidative stress. Fungi are heterotrophic eukaryotes that colonize all niches on Earth and play fundamental functions, in organic matter recycling, as symbionts, or as pathogens of numerous organisms. However, our knowledge on fungal Msrs is still limited. Here, we performed a survey of msr genes in almost 700 genomes across the fungal kingdom. We show that most fungi possess one gene coding for each type of methionine sulfoxide reductase: MsrA, MsrB, and fRMsr. However, several fungi living in anaerobic environments or as obligate intracellular parasites were devoid of msr genes. Sequence inspection and phylogenetic analyses allowed us to identify non-canonical sequences with potentially novel enzymatic properties. Finaly, we identified several ocurences of msr horizontal gene transfer from bacteria to fungi.

Abstract
Aberrant production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) leads to tissue damage accumulation, which is associated with a myriad of human pathologies. Although several sensors have been developed for ROS quantification, their applications for ROS-related human physiologies and pathologies still remain problematic due to the unstable nature of ROS. Herein, we developed Trx1-cpYFP-fRMsr (TYfR), a genetically-encoded fluorescent biosensor with the remarkable specificity and sensitivity toward fMetRO (free Methionine-R-sulfoxide), allowing for dynamic quantification of physiological levels of fMetRO, a novel indicator of ROS and methionine redox status in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, using the sensor, we observed a significant fMetRO enrichment in serum from patients with acute coronary syndrome, one of the most severe cardiovascular diseases, which becomes more evident following percutaneous coronary intervention. Collectively, this study proposes that fMetRO is a novel biomarker of tissue damage accumulation in ROS-associated human pathologies, and that TYfR is a promising tool for quantifying fMetRO with potentials in versatile applications.

Abstract
Oxidative damage of biopharmaceuticals during manufacturing and storage is a key concern throughout pharmaceutical development. However, few simple and robust analytical methods are available for the determination of oxidation sites. Here, the potential of affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE) in the separation of proteins with oxidized methionine (Met) residues is shown. Silver(I) and gold(I) ions have the attribute to selectively form complexes with thioethers over sulfoxides. The addition of these ions to the BGE leads to a selective complexation of Met residues and, thus, to a change of charge allowing separation of species according to the different oxidation states of Met. The mechanisms of these interactions are discussed and binding constants for peptides containing Met with silver(I) are calculated. Additionally, the proposed method can be used as an indicator of oxidative stress in large proteins. The presented technique is easily accessible, economical, and has rapid analysis times, adding new approaches to the analytical toolbox of Met sulfoxide detection.

Abstract
Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) has long been known to support anaerobic respiration in a few species of basically aerobic extremely halophilic euryarchaea living in hypersaline lakes. Recently, it has also been shown to be utilized as an additional electron acceptor in basically anaerobic sulfur-reducing haloarchaea. Here we investigated whether haloarchaea would be capable of anaerobic respiration with other two sulfoxides, methionine sulfoxide (MSO) and tetramethylene sulfoxide (TMSO). For this, anaerobic enrichment cultures were inoculated with sediments from hypersaline salt and soda lakes in southwestern Siberia and southern Russia. Positive enrichments were obtained for both MSO and TMSO with yeast extract but not with formate or acetate as the electron donor. Two pure cultures obtained from salt lakes, either with MSO or TMSO, were obligate anaerobes closely related to sulfur-reducing Halanaeroarchaeum sulfurireducens, although the type strain of this genus was unable to utilize any sulfoxides. Two pure cultures isolated from soda lakes were facultatively anaerobic alkaliphilic haloarchaea using O2, sulfur and sulfoxides as the electron acceptors. One isolate was identical to the previously described sulfur-reducing Natrarchaeobaculum sulfurireducens, while another one, enriched at lower alkalinity, is forming a new species in the genus Halobiforma. Since all isolates enriched with either MSO or TMSO were able to respire all three sulfoxides including DMSO and the corresponding activities were cross-induced, it suggest that a single enzyme of the DMSO-reductase family with a broad substrate specificity is responsible for various sulfoxide-dependent respiration in haloarchaea.

Abstract
The precise characterization and quantification of oxidative protein damage is a significant challenge due to the low abundance, large variety, and heterogeneity of modifications. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based techniques at the peptide level (proteomics) provide a detailed but limited picture due to incomplete sequence coverage and imperfect enzymatic digestion. This is particularly problematic with oxidatively modified and cross-linked/aggregated proteins. There is a pressing need for methods that can quantify large numbers of modified amino acids, which are often present in low abundance compared to the high background of non-damaged amino acids, in a rapid and reliable fashion. We have developed a protocol using zwitterionic ion-exchange chromatography coupled with LC-MS to simultaneously quantify both parent amino acids and their respective oxidation products. Proteins are hydrolyzed with methanesulfonic acid in the presence of tryptamine and purified by strong cation exchange solid phase extraction. The method was validated for the common amino acids (excluding Gln, Asn, Cys) and the oxidation products 3-chlorotyrosine (3-ClTyr), 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NO2Tyr), di-tyrosine, Nε-(1-carboxymethyl)-l-lysine, o,o’-di-tyrosine, 3,4,-dihydroxyphenylalanine, hydroxy-tryptophan and kynurenine. Linear standard curves were observed over ~3 orders of magnitude dynamic range (2–1000 pmol for parent amino acids, 80 fmol–20 pmol for oxidation products) with limit-of-quantification values as low as 200 fmol (o,o’-di-tyrosine). The validated method was used to quantify Tyr and Trp loss, and formation of 3-NO2Tyr on the isolated protein anastellin treated with peroxynitrous acid, and for 3-ClTyr formation (over a 2 orders of magnitude range) in cell lysates and complex protein mixtures treated with hypochlorous acid. Identification and quantification of oxidative protein damage is a major challenge. A versatile LC-MS assay is reported that involves hydrolysis to free amino acids. Quantification is possible for both parent amino acids and products in single runs. A dynamic range of 2-3 orders of magnitude is available for most analytes. Example of use with pure proteins, extracellular matrix and cell lysates are given.

Abstract
The aim of this research study was to provide a more thorough understanding of the underlying mechanism and to broaden the application field of the recently introduced racemization method employing the amino acid derivatization tag 6-aminoquinolyl-N-hydroxysuccinimidyl carbamate (AQC, AccQ) for heat-induced stereoisomerization of common amino acids as well as uniformly isotopically labeled [U-13C15N]-amino acids. The influence of different buffer types such as sodium borate buffer and sodium carbonate buffer as well as their pH and molarity on the racemization and deamidation of amino acids were investigated. It was found that a 0.4 M borate buffer with a pH of 8.0 +/- 0.2 was the most suitable derivatization as well as racemization buffer to ensure degradation free racemization of deamidation prone compounds such as glutamine. Hereby essential was the in-solution pH measurement before and after derivatization with AQC as well as after heat-induced racemization. This strategy provided further insight at which pH an actual racemization event was observed and when an unwanted deamidation of glutamine to glutamic acid occurred. In addition also the influence of the presence of oxygen during racemization was studied. In this context it was possible to determine ideal oxidation and racemization conditions for the production of scalemic mixtures of chiral isotopically labeled methionine AQC-DL-[U-13C15N]-Met as well as its oxidation products, AQC-DL-[U-13C15N]-Met-O and AQC-DL-[U-13C15N]-Met-O2. All stereoselective separations were performed on the zwitterionic Chiralpak ZWIX(+) column combined with HPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS analysis in positive ionization mode.

Abstract
Sulfoxides occur in biology as products of the S-oxygenation of small molecules as well as in peptides and proteins and their formation is often associated with oxidative stress and can affect biological function. In bacteria, sulfoxide damage can be reversed by different types of enzymes. Thioredoxin-dependent peptide methionine sulfoxide reductases (MSR proteins) repair oxidized methionine residues and are found in all Domains of life. In bacteria MSR proteins are often found in the cytoplasm but in some bacteria, including pathogenic Neisseria, Streptococci, and Haemophilus they are extracytoplasmic. Mutants lacking MSR proteins are often sensitive to oxidative stress and in pathogens exhibit decreased virulence as indicated by reduced survival in host cell or animal model systems. Molybdenum enzymes are also known to reduce S-oxides and traditionally their physiological role was considered to be in anaerobic respiration using dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) as an electron acceptor. However, it now appears that some enzymes (MtsZ) of the DMSO reductase family of Mo enzymes use methionine sulfoxide as preferred physiological substrate and thus may be involved in scavenging/recycling of this amino acid. Similarly, an enzyme (MsrP/YedY) of the sulfite oxidase family of Mo enzymes has been shown to be involved in repair of methionine sulfoxides in periplasmic proteins. Again, some mutants deficient in Mo-dependent sulfoxide reductases exhibit reduced virulence, and there is evidence that these Mo enzymes and some MSR systems are induced by hypochlorite produced by the innate immune system. This review describes recent advances in the understanding of the molecular microbiology of MSR systems and the broadening of the role of Mo-dependent sulfoxide reductase to encompass functions beyond anaerobic respiration.

Abstract
Previous studies on metal-ion catalyzed oxidation of α-synuclein oxidation have mostly used conditions that result in extensive modification precluding an understanding of the early events in this process. In this study, we have examined time-dependent oxidative events related to α-synuclein modification using six different molar ratios of Cu2+/H2O2/protein and Cu2+/H2O2/ascorbate/protein resulting in mild to moderate extents of oxidation. For a Cu2+/H2O2/protein molar ratio of 2.3:7.8:1 only low levels of carbonyls were detected (0.078 carbonyls per protein), whereas a molar ratio of 4.7:15.6:1 gave 0.22 carbonyls per α-synuclein within 15 min. With the latter conditions, rapid conversion of 3 out of 4 methionines (Met) to methionine sulfoxide, and 2 out of 4 tyrosines (Tyr) were converted to products including inter- and intra-molecular dityrosine cross-links and protein oligomers, as determined by SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis. Limited histidine (His) modification was observed. The rapid formation of dityrosine cross-links was confirmed by fluorescence and mass-spectrometry. These data indicate that Met and Tyr oxidation are early events in Cu2+/H2O2-mediated damage, with carbonyl formation being a minor process. With the Cu2+/H2O2/ascorbate system, rapid protein carbonyl formation was detected with the first 5 min, but after this time point, little additional carbonyl formation was detected. With this system, lower levels of Met and Tyr oxidation were detected (2 Met and 1 Tyr modified with a Cu2+/H2O2/ascorbate/protein ratio of 2.3:7.8:7.8:1), but greater His oxidation. Only low levels of intra- dityrosine cross-links and no inter- dityrosine oligomers were detected under these conditions, suggesting that ascorbate limits Cu2+/H2O2-induced α-synuclein modification.

Abstract
Methionine in proteins is often thought to be a generic hydrophobic residue, functionally replaceable with another hydrophobic residue such as valine or leucine. This is not the case, and the reason is that methionine contains sulfur that confers special properties on methionine. The sulfur can be oxidized, converting methionine to methionine sulfoxide, and ubiquitous methionine sulfoxide reductases can reduce the sulfoxide back to methionine. This redox cycle enables methionine residues to provide a catalytically efficient antioxidant defense by reacting with oxidizing species. The cycle also constitutes a reversible post-translational covalent modification analogous to phosphorylation. As with phosphorylation, enzymatically-mediated oxidation and reduction of specific methionine residues functions as a regulatory process in the cell. Methionine residues also form bonds with aromatic residues that contribute significantly to protein stability. Given these important functions, alteration of the methionine-methionine sulfoxide balance in proteins has been correlated with disease processes, including cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Methionine isn't just for protein initiation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glutathione transferases play an important role as detoxifying enzymes. In A. thaliana, elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), provoked during biotic and abiotic stress, influence the activity of GSTU23. The aim of this study is to determine the impact of oxidative stress on the function and structure of GSTU23. METHODS The impact of oxidation on the function of GSTU23 was studied using a glutathione transferase biochemical assay and mass spectrometry. With kinetics, circular dichroism and thermodynamics, we compared reduced with oxidized GSTU23. X-ray crystal structures of GSTU23 visualize the impact of oxidation on methionines and cysteines. RESULTS In the presence of 100μM H2O2, oxidation of the methionine side-chain to a sulfoxide is the prominent post-translational modification, which can be reduced by C. diphtheriae MsrA and MsrB. However, increasing the level to 200μM H2O2 results in a reversible intramolecular disulfide between Cys65-Cys110, which is substrate for glutaredoxin. Under these oxidizing conditions, GSTU23 undergoes a structural change and forms a more favourable enzyme-substrate complex to overcome kcat decrease. CONCLUSIONS AND SIGNIFICANCE At lower H2O2 levels (100μM), GSTU23 forms methionine sulfoxides. Specifically, oxidation of Met14, located near the catalytic Ser13, could interfere with both GSH binding and catalytic activation. At higher H2O2 levels (200μM), the Cys65-Cys110 disulfide bond protects other cysteines and also methionines from overoxidation. This study shows the impact of oxidative stress on GSTU23 regulated by methionine sulfoxide reductases and glutaredoxin, and the mechanisms involved in maintaining its catalytic functionality under oxidizing conditions.

Abstract
Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose induces acute liver damage and failure via reactive oxygen species production and glutathione (GSH) depletion. Methionine sulfoxide reductase B1 (MsrB1) is an antioxidant selenoenzyme that specifically catalyzes the reduction of methionine R-sulfoxide residues. In this study, we used MsrB1 gene-knockout mice and primary hepatocytes to investigate the effect of MsrB1 on APAP-induced hepatotoxicity. Analyses of histological alterations and serum indicators of liver damage showed that MsrB1-/- mice were more susceptible to APAP-induced acute liver injury than wild-type (MsrB1+/+) mice. Consistent with the in vivo results, primary MsrB1-/- hepatocytes displayed higher susceptibility to APAP-induced cytotoxicity than MsrB1+/+ cells. MsrB1 deficiency increased hepatic oxidative stress after APAP challenge such as hydrogen peroxide production, lipid peroxidation, and protein oxidation levels. Additionally, basal and APAP-induced ratios of reduced-to-oxidized GSH (GSH/GSSG) were significantly lower in MsrB1-/- than in MsrB1+/+ livers. Nrf2 nuclear accumulation and heme oxygenase-1 expression levels after APAP challenge were lower in MsrB1-/- than in MsrB1+/+ livers, suggesting that MsrB1 deficiency attenuates the APAP-induced activation of Nrf2. Collectively, the results of this study suggest that selenoprotein MsrB1 plays a protective role against APAP-induced hepatotoxicity via its antioxidative function.

Abstract
Methionine sulfoxide reductase A (MsrA) is a major antioxidant enzyme that specifically catalyzes the reduction of methionine S-sulfoxide. In this study, we used MsrA gene-knockout (MsrA-/-) mice and bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) to investigate the role of MsrA in the regulation of inflammatory responses induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). MsrA-/- mice were more susceptible to LPS-induced lethal shock than wild-type (MsrA+/+) mice. Serum levels of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α induced by LPS were higher in MsrA-/- than in MsrA+/+ mice. MsrA deficiency in the BMDMs also increased the LPS-induced cytotoxicity as well as TNF-α level. Basal and LPS-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were higher in MsrA-/- than in MsrA+/+ BMDMs. Phosphorylation levels of p38, JNK, and ERK were higher in MsrA-/- than in MsrA+/+ BMDMs in response to LPS, suggesting that MsrA deficiency increases MAPK activation. Furthermore, MsrA deficiency increased the expression and nuclear translocation of NF-κB and the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase, a target gene of NF-κB, in response to LPS. Taken together, our results suggest that MsrA protects against LPS-induced septic shock, and negatively regulates proinflammatory responses via inhibition of the ROS-MAPK-NF-κB signaling pathways.

Abstract
Protein function can be regulated via post-translational modifications by numerous enzymatic and non-enzymatic mechanisms, including oxidation of cysteine and methionine residues. Redox-dependent regulatory mechanisms have been identified for nearly every cellular process, but the major paradigm has been that cellular components are oxidized (damaged) by reactive oxygen species (ROS) in a relatively unspecific way, and then reduced (repaired) by designated reductases. While this scheme may work with cysteine, it cannot be ascribed to other residues, such as methionine, whose reaction with ROS is too slow to be biologically relevant. However, methionine is clearly oxidized in vivo and enzymes for its stereoselective reduction are present in all three domains of life. Here, we revisit the chemistry and biology of methionine oxidation, with emphasis on its generation by enzymes from the monooxygenase family. Particular attention is placed on MICALs, a recently discovered family of proteins that harbor an unusual flavin-monooxygenase domain with an NADPH-dependent methionine sulfoxidase activity. Based on structural and kinetic information we provide a rational framework to explain MICAL mechanism, inhibition, and regulation. Methionine residues that are targeted by MICALs are reduced back by methionine sulfoxide reductases, suggesting that reversible methionine oxidation may be a general mechanism analogous to the regulation by phosphorylation by kinases/phosphatases. The identification of new enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of methionine will open a new area of research at the forefront of redox signaling.

Abstract
In this study we investigated the effect of acute and chronic treatment with Met and/or methionine sulfoxide (MetO) on ectonucleotidases and cholinesterases activities from lymphocytes and purine derivatives compounds, C-protein reactive, interleukin-10, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α levels in serum of young rats. Adenosine triphosphate hydrolysis was decreased in lymphocytes 1 h after treatment by MetO and Met + MetO. However, adenosine triphosphate and adenosine diphosphate hydrolysis in lymphocytes was increased in the groups MetO and Met + MetO and adenosine deaminase activity was increased in MetO 3 h after the treatment. Acetylcholinesterase activity was increased in lymphocytes after 3 h and 21 days of treatment by MetO and Met + MetO, while serum butyrycholinesterase activity was decreased after 1 h and 21 days of treatment in the same groups. In chronic treatment, interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α level were increased, while that interleukin-10 level was decreased by Met, MetO, and Met + MetO when compared to control group. C-protein reactive level was increased by MetO and Met + MetO. Adenosine triphosphate and adenosine monophosphate levels were reduced in all amino acids treated groups, while adenosine diphosphate and hypoxanthine were enhanced by MetO and Met + MetO. Adenosine and xanthine were reduced in the MetO group, whereas inosine levels were decreased in the MetO and Met + MetO groups. These findings help to understand the inflammatory alterations observed in hypermethioninemia.

Abstract
We have previously shown that down-regulation of methionine sulfoxide reductase B3 (MsrB3) induces cancer cell apoptosis through the activation of the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway. However, the mechanism through which MsrB3 deficiency results in cancer cell death is poorly understood. In this study, we investigated whether p53 and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress are involved in MsrB3 deficiency-induced cancer cell apoptosis using breast and colon cancer cells. MsrB3 depletion resulted in p53 down-regulation at the post-transcriptional level. MsrB3 deficiency induced cell death to a similar extent in both p53 wild-type (p53+/+) and null (p53-/-) cancer cells, suggesting that MsrB3 deficiency-induced apoptosis occurs independently of p53. MsrB3 deficiency significantly increased ER stress, which resulted in apoptosis. In addition, MsrB3 depletion activated the pro-apoptotic Bim molecule, which is essential for ER stress-induced apoptosis. MsrB3 deficiency increased cytosolic calcium levels, suggesting that MsrB3 down-regulation leads to a disturbance of calcium homeostasis in the ER, which consequently triggers ER stress. MsrB3 overexpression in MsrB3-depleted cells reduced ER stress, and was accompanied by at least partial recovery of cell viability. Taken together, our results suggest that MsrB3 plays a critical role in cancer cell apoptosis through the modulation of ER stress status.

Abstract
Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose induces acute liver injury via enhanced oxidative stress and glutathione (GSH) depletion. Methionine sulfoxide reductase A (MsrA) acts as a reactive oxygen species scavenger by catalyzing the cyclic reduction of methionine-S-sulfoxide. Herein, we investigated the protective role of MsrA against APAP-induced liver damage using MsrA gene-deleted mice (MsrA-/-). We found that MsrA-/- mice were more susceptible to APAP-induced acute liver injury than wild-type mice (MsrA+/+). The central lobule area of the MsrA-/- liver was more impaired with necrotic lesions. Serum alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, and lactate dehydrogenase levels were significantly higher in MsrA-/- than in MsrA+/+ mice after APAP challenge. Deletion of MsrA enhanced APAP-induced hepatic GSH depletion and oxidative stress, leading to increased susceptibility to APAP-induced liver injury in MsrA-deficient mice. APAP challenge increased Nrf2 activation more profoundly in MsrA-/- than in MsrA+/+ livers. Expression and nuclear accumulation of Nrf2 and its target gene expression were significantly elevated in MsrA-/- than in MsrA+/+ livers after APAP challenge. Taken together, our results demonstrate that MsrA protects the liver from APAP-induced toxicity. The data provided herein constitute the first in vivo evidence of the involvement of MsrA in hepatic function under APAP challenge.

Abstract
Methionine sulfoxide reductase B3 (MsrB3) is a protein repair enzyme that specifically catalyzes the reduction of methionine-R-sulfoxide residues and has an antioxidant function. We have previously shown that depletion of MsrB3 suppresses the proliferation of normal mammalian cells by arresting cell cycle. In this study, we report the crucial role of MsrB3 in cancer cell death. Deficiency of MsrB3 induced cancer cell death, while MsrB3 overexpression stimulated cancer cell proliferation. MsrB3 depletion resulted in apoptotic cancer cell death through the activation of the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway. MsrB3 deficiency increased the levels of cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and led to redox imbalance, and also increased the Bax to Bcl-2 ratio and cytochrome c release, leading to caspase activation. Treatment of MsrB3-depleted cells with N-acetylcysteine, an ROS scavenger, prevented cell death, suggesting that MsrB3 deficiency-induced cell death is associated with increased ROS production. In addition, MsrB3 depletion activated poly(ADP ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) and led to the translocation of apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) to the nucleus. Taken together, our results suggest that MsrB3 plays an important role in cancer cell survival through the modulation of the intrinsic apoptosis pathway.

Abstract
Methionine-S-sulfoxide reductase (MsrA) protects against high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance due to its antioxidant effects. To determine whether its counterpart, methionine-R-sulfoxide reductase (MsrB) has similar effects, we compared MsrB1 knockout and wild-type mice using a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp technique. High-fat feeding for eight weeks increased body weights, fat masses, and plasma levels of glucose, insulin, and triglycerides to similar extents in wild-type and MsrB1 knockout mice. Intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test showed no difference in blood glucose levels between the two genotypes after eight weeks on the high-fat diet. The hyperglycemic-euglycemic clamp study showed that glucose infusion rates and whole body glucose uptakes were decreased to similar extents by the high-fat diet in both wild-type and MsrB1 knockout mice. Hepatic glucose production and glucose uptake of skeletal muscle were unaffected by MsrB1 deficiency. The high-fat diet-induced oxidative stress in skeletal muscle and liver was not aggravated in MsrB1-deficient mice. Interestingly, whereas MsrB1 deficiency reduced JNK protein levels to a great extent in skeletal muscle and liver, it markedly elevated phosphorylation of JNK, suggesting the involvement of MsrB1 in JNK protein activation. However, this JNK phosphorylation based on a p-JNK/JNK level did not positively correlate with insulin resistance in MsrB1-deficient mice. Taken together, our results show that, in contrast to MsrA deficiency, MsrB1 deficiency does not increase high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance in mice.

Abstract
Victims of trauma often develop impaired blood clot formation (coagulopathy) that contributes to bleeding and mortality. Fibrin polymerization is one critical component of clot formation that can be impacted by post-translational oxidative modifications of fibrinogen after exposure to oxidants. In vitro evidence suggests that Aα-C domain methionine sulfoxide formation, in particular, can induce conformational changes that prevent lateral aggregation of fibrin protofibrils during polymerization. We used mass spectrometry of plasma from trauma patients to find that fibrinogen Aα-C domain methionine sulfoxide content was selectively-increased in patients with coagulopathy vs. those without coagulopathy. This evidence supports a novel linkage between oxidative stress, coagulopathy, and bleeding after injury.

Abstract
In cells, physiological and pathophysiological conditions may lead to the formation of methionine sulfoxide (MetO). This oxidative modification of methionine exists in the form of two diastereomers, R and S, and may occur in both free amino acid and proteins. MetO is reduced back to methionine by methionine sulfoxide reductases (MSRs). Methionine oxidation was thought to be a nonspecific modification affecting protein functions and methionine availability. However, recent findings suggest that cyclic methionine oxidation and reduction is a posttranslational modification that actively regulates protein function akin to redox regulation by cysteine oxidation and phosphorylation. Methionine oxidation is thus an important mechanism that could play out in various physiological contexts. However, detecting MetO generation and MSR functions remains challenging because of the lack of tools and reagents to detect and quantify this protein modification. We recently developed two genetically encoded diasterospecific fluorescent sensors, MetSOx and MetROx, to dynamically monitor MetO in living cells. Here, we provide a detailed procedure for their use in bacterial and mammalian cells using fluorimetric and fluorescent imaging approaches. This method can be adapted to dynamically monitor methionine oxidation in various cell types and under various conditions.

Abstract
Stereospecific capillary electrophoresis-based methods for the analysis of methionine sulfoxide [Met(O)]-containing pentapeptides were developed in order to investigate the reduction of Met(O)-containing peptide substrates by recombinant Aspergillus nidulans methionine sulfoxide reductase A (MsrA) as well as enzymes carrying mutations in position Glu99 and Asp134. The separation of the diastereomers of the N-acetylated, C-terminally 2,4-dinitrophenyl (Dnp)-labeled pentapeptides ac-Lys-Phe-Met(O)-Lys-Lys-Dnp, ac-Lys-Asp-Met(O)-Asn-Lys-Dnp and ac-Lys-Asn-Met(O)-Asp-Lys-Dnp was achieved in 50 mM Tris-HCl buffers containing sulfated β-CD in fused-silica capillaries, while the diastereomer separation of ac-Lys-Asp-Met(O)-Asp-Lys-Dnp was achieved by sulfated β-CD-mediated MEKC. The methods were validated with regard to range, linearity, accuracy, limits of detection and quantitation as well as precision. Subsequently, the substrates were incubated with wild-type MsrA and three mutants in the presence of dithiothreitol as reductant. Wild-type MsrA displayed the highest activity towards all substrates compared to the mutants. Substitution of Glu99 by Gln resulted in the mutant with the lowest activity towards all substrates except for ac-Lys-Asn-Met(O)-Asp-Lys-Dnp, while replacement Asn for Asp134 lead to a higher activity towards ac-Lys-Asp-Met(O)-Asn-Lys-Dnp compared with the Glu99 mutant. The mutant with Glu instead of Asp134 was the most active among the mutant enzymes. Molecular modeling indicated that the conserved Glu99 residue is buried in the Met-S-(O) groove, which might contribute to the correct placing of substrates and, consequently, to the catalytic activity of MsrA, while Asp134 did not form hydrogen bonds with the substrates but only within the enzyme.

Abstract
An interesting asset of diagonal chromatography, which we have introduced for contemporary proteome research, is its high versatility concerning proteomic applications. Indeed, the peptide modification or sorting step that is required between consecutive peptide separations can easily be altered and thereby allows for the enrichment of specific, though different types of peptides. Here, we focus on the application of diagonal chromatography for the study of modifications of plant proteins. In particular, we show how diagonal chromatography allows for studying proteins processed by proteases, protein ubiquitination, and the oxidation of protein-bound methionines. We discuss the actual sorting steps needed for each of these applications and the obtained results. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Plant Proteomics--a bridge between fundamental processes and crop production, edited by Dr. Hans-Peter Mock.

Abstract
Calprotectin provides nutritional immunity by sequestering manganese and zinc ions. It is abundant in the lungs of patients with cystic fibrosis but fails to prevent their recurrent infections. Calprotectin is a major protein of neutrophils and composed of two monomers, S100A8 and S100A9. We show that the ability of calprotectin to limit growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa is exquisitely sensitive to oxidation by hypochlorous acid. The N-terminal cysteine residue on S100A9 was highly susceptible to oxidation which resulted in cross-linking of the protein monomers. The N-terminal methionine of S100A8 was also readily oxidized by hypochlorous acid, forming both the methionine sulfoxide and the unique product dehydromethionine. Isolated human neutrophils formed these modifications on calprotectin when their myeloperoxidase generated hypochlorous acid. Up to 90% of the N-terminal amine on S100A8 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from young children with cystic fibrosis was oxidized. Oxidized calprotectin was higher in children with cystic fibrosis compared to disease controls, and further elevated in those patients with infections. Our data suggest that oxidative stress associated with inflammation in cystic fibrosis will stop metal sequestration by calprotectin. Consequently, strategies aimed at blocking extracellular myeloperoxidase activity should enable calprotectin to provide nutritional immunity within the airways.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It was recently suggested that electron flow into cyt c, coupled with ROS generation, oxidizes cyt c Met(80) to Met(80) sulfoxide (Met-O) in isolated hearts after ischemia-reperfusion, and converts cyt c to a peroxidase. We hypothesize that ischemia disrupts Met(80)-Fe ligation of cyt c, forming pentacoordinated heme Fe(2+), which inhibits electron transport (ET) and promotes oxygenase activity. METHODS SS-20 (Phe-D-Arg-Phe-Lys-NH2) was used to demonstrate the role of Met(80)-Fe ligation in ischemia. Mitochondria were isolated from ischemic rat kidneys to determine sites of respiratory inhibition. Mitochondrial cyt c and cyt c Met-O were quantified by western blot, and cristae architecture was examined by electron microscopy. RESULTS Biochemical and structural studies showed that SS-20 selectively targets cardiolipin (CL) and protects Met(80)-Fe ligation in cyt c. Ischemic mitochondria showed 17-fold increase in Met-O cyt c, and dramatic cristaeolysis. Loss of cyt c was associated with proteolytic degradation of OPA1. Ischemia significantly inhibited ET initiated by direct reduction of cyt c and coupled respiration. All changes were prevented by SS-20. CONCLUSION Our results show that ischemia disrupts the Met(80)-Fe ligation of cyt c resulting in the formation of a globin-like pentacoordinated heme Fe(2+) that inhibits ET, and converts cyt c into an oxygenase to cause CL peroxidation and proteolytic degradation of OPA1, resulting in cyt c release. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE Cyt c heme structure represents a novel target for minimizing ischemic injury. SS-20, which we show to selectively target CL and protect the Met(80)-Fe ligation, minimizes ischemic injury and promotes ATP recovery.

Abstract
AIMS To study intima media thickness (cIMT) and arterial stiffness in type 1 diabetes of long duration, and their associations with the collagen cross-linker glucosepane and inflammatory and oxidative markers. METHODS Twenty-seven individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus of 40 years duration from the Oslo Study cohort and 24 age-matched controls were included. cIMT measurements of the carotid artery were performed longitudinally. Pulse wave velocity (PWV), augmentation index (AIx) and augmentation pressure (AP) were assessed cross-sectionally. Glucosepane and the oxidative product methionine sulfoxide (MetSO) were determined in skin collagen by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Circulating inflammatory markers were determined by ELISAs. RESULTS The diabetes patients had significantly increased cIMT and arterial stiffness compared to controls. Significant correlations were noted for skin glucosepane with cIMT (r=0.41) and PWV (r=0.44). Skin MetSO and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) correlated significantly with AIx and AP. After correcting for age and mean arterial pressure in multiple linear regression analysis, MetSO and MCP-1 were both independently associated with AIx and AP. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest more premature atherosclerosis and arterial pathology in individuals with diabetes compared to age-matched controls. They also suggest an association between the arterial pathology and markers of collagen crosslinking, oxidative damage and inflammation in type 1 diabetes patients of forty years disease duration.

Abstract
The mitochondrial presequence protease (PreP) is a member of the pitrilysin class of metalloproteases. It degrades the mitochondrial targeting presequences of mitochondria-localized proteins as well as unstructured peptides such as amyloid-β peptide. The specific activity of PreP is reduced in Alzheimer patients and animal models of Alzheimer disease. The loss of activity can be mimicked in vitro by exposure to oxidizing conditions, and indirect evidence suggested that inactivation was due to methionine oxidation. We performed peptide mapping analyses to elucidate the mechanism of inactivation. None of the 24 methionine residues in recombinant human PreP was oxidized. We present evidence that inactivation is due to oxidation of cysteine residues and consequent oligomerization through intermolecular disulfide bonds. The most susceptible cysteine residues to oxidation are Cys34, Cys112, and Cys119. Most, but not all, of the activity loss is restored by the reducing agent dithiothreitol. These findings elucidate a redox mechanism for regulation of PreP and also provide a rational basis for therapeutic intervention in conditions characterized by excessive oxidation of PreP.

Abstract
A dual-selector system employing achiral crown ethers in combination with cyclodextrins has been developed for the separation of peptide diastereomers that contain methionine sulfoxide. The combinations of the crown ethers 15-crown-5, 18-crown-6, Kryptofix® 21 and Kryptofix® 22 and β-cyclodextrin, carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin, and sulfated β-cyclodextrin were screened at pH 2.5 and pH 8.0 using a 40/50.2 cm, 50 μm id fused-silica capillary and a separation voltage of 25 kV. No diastereomer separation was observed in the sole presence of crown ethers, while only sulfated β-cyclodextrin was able to resolve some peptide diastereomers at pH 8.0. Depending on the amino acid sequence of the peptide and the applied cyclodextrin, the addition of crown ethers, especially the Krpytofix® diaza-crown ethers, resulted in significantly enhanced chiral recognition. Keeping one selector of the dual system constant, increasing concentrations of the second selector resulted in increased peak resolution and analyte migration time for peptide-crown ether-cyclodextrin combinations. The simultaneous diastereomer separation of three structurally related peptides was achieved using the dual selector system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytochrome c (Cyt c) is a mobile component of the electron transport chain (ETC.) which contains a tightly coordinated heme iron. In pathologic settings, a key ligand of the cyt c's heme iron, methionine (Met80), is oxidized allowing cyt c to participate in reactions as a peroxidase with cardiolipin as a target. Myocardial ischemia (ISC) results in ETC. blockade and increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). We hypothesized that during ischemia-reperfusion (ISC-REP); ROS generation coupled with electron flow into cyt c would oxidize Met80 and contribute to mitochondrial-mediated ETC. damage. METHODS Mitochondria were incubated with specific substrates and inhibitors to test the contributions of ROS and electron flow into cyt c. Subsequently, cyt c and cardiolipin were analyzed. To test the pathophysiologic relevance, mouse hearts that underwent ISC-REP were tested for methionine oxidation in cyt c. RESULTS The combination of substrate/inhibitor showed that ROS production and electron flux through cyt c are essential for the oxidation of methionine residues that lead to cardiolipin depletion. The content of cyt c methionine oxidation increases following ISC-REP in the intact heart. CONCLUSIONS Increase in intra-mitochondrial ROS coupled with electron flow into cyt c, oxidizes cyt c followed by depletion of cardiolipin. ISC-REP increases methionine oxidation, supporting that cyt c peroxidase activity can form in the intact heart. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE This study identifies a new site in the ETC. that is damaged during cardiac ISC-REP. Generation of a neoperoxidase activity of cyt c favors the formation of a defective ETC. that activates signaling for cell death.

Abstract
A capillary electrophoresis method has been developed and validated to evaluate the stereospecific activity of recombinant human methionine sulfoxide reductase enzymes employing the C-terminally dinitrophenyl-labeled N-acetylated pentapeptide ac-KIFM(O)K-Dnp as substrate (M(O)=methionine sulfoxide). The separation of the ac-KIFM(O)K-Dnp diastereomers and the reduced peptide ac-KIFMK-Dnp was optimized using experimental design with regard to the buffer pH, buffer concentration, sulfated β-cyclodextrin and 15-crown-5 concentration as well as capillary temperature and separation voltage. A fractional factorial response IV design was employed for the identification of the significant factors and a five-level circumscribed central composite design for the final method optimization. Resolution of the peptide diastereomers as well as analyte migration time served as responses in both designs. The resulting optimized conditions included 50mM Tris buffer, pH 7.85, containing 5mM 15-crown-5 and 14.3mg/mL sulfated β-cyclodextrin, at an applied voltage of 25kV and a capillary temperature of 21.5°C. The assay was subsequently applied to the determination of the stereospecificity of recombinant human methionine sulfoxide reductases A and B2. The Michaelis-Menten kinetic data were determined. The pentapeptide proved to be a good substrate for both enzymes. Furthermore, the first separation of methionine sulfoxide peptide diastereomers is reported.

Abstract
Sulfur-containing amino acids such as cysteine and methionine are particularly vulnerable to oxidation. Oxidation of cysteine and methionine in their free amino acid form renders them unavailable for metabolic processes while their oxidation in the protein-bound state is a common post-translational modification in all organisms and usually alters the function of the protein. In the majority of cases, oxidation causes inactivation of proteins. Yet, an increasing number of examples have been described where reversible cysteine oxidation is part of a sophisticated mechanism to control protein function based on the redox state of the protein. While for methionine the dogma is still that its oxidation inhibits protein function, reversible methionine oxidation is now being recognized as a powerful means of triggering protein activity. This mode of regulation involves oxidation of methionine to methionine sulfoxide leading to activated protein function, and inactivation is accomplished by reduction of methionine sulfoxide back to methionine catalyzed by methionine sulfoxide reductases. Given the similarity to thiol-based redox-regulation of protein function, methionine oxidation is now established as a novel mode of redox-regulation of protein function. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Thiol-Based Redox Processes.
