Enzyme Functions

Stimulated neutrophils discharge large quantities of superoxide (O2.-), which dismutates to form H2O2. In combination with Cl-, H2O2 is converted into the potent oxidant hypochlorous acid (HOCl) by the haem enzyme myeloperoxidase. We have used an H2O2 electrode to monitor H2O2 uptake by myeloperoxidase, and have shown that in the presence of Cl- this accurately represents production of HOCl. Monochlorodimedon, which is routinely used to assay production of HOCl, inhibited H2O2 uptake by 95%. This result confirms that monochlorodimedon inhibits myeloperoxidase, and that the monochlorodimedon assay grossly underestimates the activity of myeloperoxidase. With 10 microM-H2O2 and 100 mM-Cl-, myeloperoxidase had a neutral pH optimum. Increasing the H2O2 concentration to 100 microM lowered the pH optimum to pH 6.5. Above the pH optimum there was a burst of H2O2 uptake that rapidly declined due to accumulation of Compound II. High concentrations of H2O2 inhibited myeloperoxidase and promoted the formation of Compound II. These effects of H2O2 were decreased at higher concentrations of Cl-. We propose that H2O2 competes with Cl- for Compound I and reduces it to Compound II, thereby inhibiting myeloperoxidase. Above pH 6.5, O2.- generated by xanthine oxidase and acetaldehyde prevented H2O2 from inhibiting myeloperoxidase, increasing the initial rate of H2O2 uptake. O2.- allowed myeloperoxidase to function optimally with 100 microM-H2O2 at pH 7.0. This occurred because, as previously demonstrated, O2.- prevents Compound II from accumulating by reducing it to ferric myeloperoxidase. In contrast, at pH 6.0, where Compound II did not accumulate, O2.- retarded the uptake of H2O2. We propose that by generating O2.- neutrophils prevent H2O2 and other one-electron donors from inhibiting myeloperoxidase, and ensure that this enzyme functions optimally at neutral pH.

Tissue damage resulting from the extracellular production of HOCl (hypochlorous acid) by the MPO (myeloperoxidase)-hydrogen peroxide-chloride system of activated phagocytes is implicated as a key event in the progression of a number of human inflammatory diseases. Consequently, there is considerable interest in the development of therapeutically useful MPO inhibitors. Nitroxides are well established antioxidant compounds of low toxicity that can attenuate oxidative damage in animal models of inflammatory disease. They are believed to exert protective effects principally by acting as superoxide dismutase mimetics or radical scavengers. However, we show here that nitroxides can also potently inhibit MPO-mediated HOCl production, with the nitroxide 4-aminoTEMPO inhibiting HOCl production by MPO and by neutrophils with IC50 values of approx. 1 and 6 μM respectively. Structure–activity relationships were determined for a range of aliphatic and aromatic nitroxides, and inhibition of oxidative damage to two biologically-important protein targets (albumin and perlecan) are demonstrated. Inhibition was shown to involve one-electron oxidation of the nitroxides by the compound I form of MPO and accumulation of compound II. Haem destruction was also observed with some nitroxides. Inhibition of neutrophil HOCl production by nitroxides was antagonized by neutrophil-derived superoxide, with this attributed to superoxide-mediated reduction of compound II. This effect was marginal with 4-aminoTEMPO, probably due to the efficient superoxide dismutase-mimetic activity of this nitroxide. Overall, these data indicate that nitroxides have considerable promise as therapeutic agents for the inhibition of MPO-mediated damage in inflammatory diseases.

Gastric Peroxidase

Gastric peroxidase (GPO) was purified to apparent homogeneity to characterize its major physiological electron donor. The enzyme (RZ = 0.7), with a subunit molecular mass of 50 kDa, is a glycoprotein, with a relative abundance of aspartic and glutamic acid over arginine and lysine. It has a Soret maximum at 412 nm, which is shifted to 426 nm by H2O2 due to formation of compound II. Although the physiological electron donors I-, Br- and SCN-, but not Cl-, are oxidized by GPO optimally at acid pH, only I- and SCN- are oxidized appreciably at physiological pH. Considering that the I- concentration in stomach is less than 1 microM, whereas the SCN- concentration is about 250 microM, SCN- may act as a major electron donor for GPO. Moreover, SCN- oxidation remains unaltered in the presence of physiological concentrations of other halides. The second-order rate constant for the reaction of GPO with H2O2 (k1) and compound I with SCN- (k2) at pH 7 was found to be 8 x 10(7) M-1.s-1 and 2 x 10(5) M-1.s-1 respectively. GPO has significant pseudocatalase activity also in the presence of I- or Br-, but it is blocked by SCN-. The SCN- oxidation product OSCN- may be reduced back to SCN- by cellular GSH, and GSSG may be reduced back to GSH by glutathione reductase and NADPH. In a system reconstituted with pure glutathione reductase, NADPH, GSH, SCN- and H2O2. GPO-catalysed SCN- oxidation could be coupled to NADPH oxidation. This system where GPO utilizes SCN- as the major physiological electron donor may operate efficiently to scavenge intracellular H2O2.

Dependent Behaviour

The effect of pH on the initial-rate kinetic behaviour of BVR-A (biliverdin-IXα reductase) exhibits an alkaline optimum with NADPH as cofactor, but a neutral optimum with NADH as cofactor. This has been described as dual cofactor and dual pH dependent behaviour; however, no mechanism has been described to explain this phenomenon. We present evidence that the apparent peak of activity observed at neutral pH with phosphate buffer and NADH as cofactor is an anion-dependent activation, where inorganic phosphate apparently mimics the role played by the 2′-phosphate of NADPH in stabilizing the interaction between NADH and the enzyme. The enzymes from mouse, rat and human all exhibit this behaviour. This behaviour is not seen with BVR-A from Xenopus tropicalis or the ancient cyanobacterial enzyme from Synechocystis PCC 6803, which, in addition to being refractory to activation by inorganic phosphate, are also differentiated by an acid pH optimum with both nicotinamide nucleotides.

Centrosymmetric Structure

Herein, we report the syntheses of two lithium-vanadium oxide-fluoride compounds crystallized from the same reaction mixture through a time variation experiment. A low temperature hydrothermal route employing a viscous paste of V2O5, oxalic acid, LiF, and HF allowed the crystallization of one metastable phase initially, Li2VO0.55(H2O)0.45F5⋅2H2O (I), which on prolonged heating transforms to a chemically similar yet structurally different phase, Li3VOF5 (II). Compound I crystallizes in centrosymmetric space group, I2/a with a = 6.052(3), b = 7.928(4), c = 12.461(6) Å, and β = 103.99(2)°, while compound II crystallizes in a non-centrosymmetric (NCS) space group, Pna21 with a = 5.1173(2), b = 8.612(3), c = 9.346(3) Å. Synthesis of NCS crystals are highly sought after in solid-state chemistry for their second-harmonic-generation (SHG) response and compound II exhibits SHG activity albeit non-phase-matchable. In this article, we also describe their magnetic properties which helped in unambiguous assignment of mixed valency of V (+4/+5) for Li2VO0.55(H2O)0.45F5⋅2H2O (I) and +4 valency of V for Li3VOF5 (II).

Metallothioneins (MTs) are characterized by their high metal loading capacity, small molecular weight, and abundant cysteine residues. It has long been thought that metal-free, or apo-MT peptides were unstructured and only adopted as a distinct conformation upon forming the metal clusters, described as metal-induced folding. More recent studies have suggested that the presence of a globular, yet loosely defined structure actually exists that can be disrupted or unfolded. Residue modification and ion-mobility ESI (IM-ESI)-MS have been used to examine this unusual unfolding process. The structure of apo-MT plays a critical role as the starting point in the flexible metalation pathways that can accommodate numerous soft metals. ESI-MS measurements of the product species formed following the cysteine alkylation of the isolated domain fragments of recombinant human apo-MT 1A with n-ethylmaleimide (NEM) were used in the present study to monitor the denaturant- and heat-induced unfolding at physiological pH. The results indicate that these apo-MT fragments adopt distinct structures at neutral pH that react co-operatively with NEM when folded and non-cooperatively when heated or exposed to high concentrations of the denaturant guanidinium chloride (GdmCl). From these studies, we can conclude that at neutral pH, the domain fragments are folded into globular structures where some of the free cysteine residues are buried within the core and are stabilized by hydrogen bonds. Metalation therefore, must take place from the folded conformation.
