Antioxidant properties of xanthurenic acid were exam ined in relation to the coordination of transition metals. Xanthurenic acid inhibited the for mation of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances as a marker of iron-mediated lipid peroxi dation and copper-dependent oxidation of low density lipoprotein. NADP-isocitrate dehydro genase (EC 1.1.1.42), a principal NADPH-generating enzyme for the antioxidant defense system, was inactivated by reduced iron and copper, and xanthurenic acid protected the en zyme from the Fe2+-mediated inactivation. Xanthurenic acid may participate in the en hanced regeneration of reduced glutathione by stimulating the NADPH supply. Xanthurenic acid further enhanced the autooxidation of Fe2+ ion. Other tryptophan metabolites such as kynurenic acid and various quinoline compounds did not inhibit the lipid peroxidation and the inactivation of NADP-isocitrate dehydrogenase, and they showed little or no effect on the Fe2+ autooxidation. The antioxidant properties of xanthurenic acid are related to the metal-chelating activity and probably to the enhanced oxidation of reduced transition met als as a prooxidant, and this action may be due to the electron deficient nature of this com pound.

  • Aldehyde Dehydrogenase 2 Activation and Coevolution of Its Εpkc
    Nene et al. Journal of Biomedical Science (2017) 24:3 DOI 10.1186/s12929-016-0312-x RESEARCH Open Access Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 activation and coevolution of its εPKC-mediated phosphorylation sites Aishwarya Nene†, Che-Hong Chen*† , Marie-Hélène Disatnik, Leslie Cruz and Daria Mochly-Rosen Abstract Background: Mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is a key enzyme for the metabolism of many toxic aldehydes such as acetaldehyde, derived from alcohol drinking, and 4HNE, an oxidative stress-derived lipid peroxidation aldehyde. Post-translational enhancement of ALDH2 activity can be achieved by serine/threonine phosphorylation by epsilon protein kinase C (εPKC). Elevated ALDH2 is beneficial in reducing injury following myocardial infarction, stroke and other oxidative stress and aldehyde toxicity-related diseases. We have previously identified three εPKC phosphorylation sites, threonine 185 (T185), serine 279 (S279) and threonine 412 (T412), on ALDH2. Here we further characterized the role and contribution of each phosphorylation site to the enhancement of enzymatic activity by εPKC. Methods: Each individual phosphorylation site was mutated to a negatively charged amino acid, glutamate, to mimic a phosphorylation, or to a non-phosphorylatable amino acid, alanine. ALDH2 enzyme activities and protection against 4HNE inactivation were measured in the presence or absence of εPKC phosphorylation in vitro. Coevolution of ALDH2 and its εPKC phosphorylation sites was delineated by multiple sequence alignments among a diverse range of species and within the ALDH multigene family. Results: We identified S279 as a critical εPKC phosphorylation site in the activation of ALDH2. The critical catalytic site, cysteine 302 (C302) of ALDH2 is susceptible to adduct formation by reactive aldehyde, 4HNE, which readily renders the enzyme inactive.

  • Citric Acid Cycle
    CHEM464 / Medh, J.D. The Citric Acid Cycle Citric Acid Cycle: Central Role in Catabolism • Stage II of catabolism involves the conversion of carbohydrates, fats and aminoacids into acetylCoA • In aerobic organisms, citric acid cycle makes up the final stage of catabolism when acetyl CoA is completely oxidized to CO2. • Also called Krebs cycle or tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. • It is a central integrative pathway that harvests chemical energy from biological fuel in the form of electrons in NADH and FADH2 (oxidation is loss of electrons). • NADH and FADH2 transfer electrons via the electron transport chain to final electron acceptor, O2, to form H2O. Entry of Pyruvate into the TCA cycle • Pyruvate is formed in the cytosol as a product of glycolysis • For entry into the TCA cycle, it has to be converted to Acetyl CoA. • Oxidation of pyruvate to acetyl CoA is catalyzed by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex in the mitochondria • Mitochondria consist of inner and outer membranes and the matrix • Enzymes of the PDH complex and the TCA cycle (except succinate dehydrogenase) are in the matrix • Pyruvate translocase is an antiporter present in the inner mitochondrial membrane that allows entry of a molecule of pyruvate in exchange for a hydroxide ion. 1 CHEM464 / Medh, J.D. The Citric Acid Cycle The Pyruvate Dehydrogenase (PDH) complex • The PDH complex consists of 3 enzymes. They are: pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1), Dihydrolipoyl transacetylase (E2) and dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase (E3). • It has 5 cofactors: CoASH, NAD+, lipoamide, TPP and FAD. CoASH and NAD+ participate stoichiometrically in the reaction, the other 3 cofactors have catalytic functions.

Hancock 7 Faculty of Health and Applied Sciences, 8 University of the West of England, Bristol, BS16 1QY, UK. 9 [email protected] 10 11 SHORT TITLE | Redox and GAPDH 12 13 ABSTRACT 14 D-Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is an immensely important 15 enzyme carrying out a vital step in glycolysis and is found in all living organisms. 16 Although there are several isoforms identified in many species, it is now recognized 17 that cytosolic GAPDH has numerous moonlighting roles and is found in a variety of 18 intracellular locations, but also is associated with external membranes and the 19 extracellular environment. The switch of GAPDH function, from what would be 20 considered as its main metabolic role, to its alternate activities, is often under the 21 influence of redox active compounds. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as 22 hydrogen peroxide, along with reactive nitrogen species (RNS), such as nitric oxide, 23 are produced by a variety of mechanisms in cells, including from metabolic 24 processes, with their accumulation in cells being dramatically increased under stress 25 conditions. Overall, such reactive compounds contribute to the redox signaling of the 26 cell. Commonly redox signaling leads to post-translational modification of proteins, 27 often on the thiol groups of cysteine residues. In GAPDH the active site cysteine can 28 be modified in a variety of ways, but of pertinence, can be altered by both ROS and 29 RNS, as well as hydrogen sulfide and glutathione.

  • How Is Alcohol Metabolized by the Body?
    Overview: How Is Alcohol Metabolized by the Body? Samir Zakhari, Ph.D. Alcohol is eliminated from the body by various metabolic mechanisms. The primary enzymes involved are aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), cytochrome P450 (CYP2E1), and catalase. Variations in the genes for these enzymes have been found to influence alcohol consumption, alcohol-related tissue damage, and alcohol dependence. The consequences of alcohol metabolism include oxygen deficits (i.e., hypoxia) in the liver; interaction between alcohol metabolism byproducts and other cell components, resulting in the formation of harmful compounds (i.e., adducts); formation of highly reactive oxygen-containing molecules (i.e., reactive oxygen species [ROS]) that can damage other cell components; changes in the ratio of NADH to NAD+ (i.e., the cell’s redox state); tissue damage; fetal damage; impairment of other metabolic processes; cancer; and medication interactions. Several issues related to alcohol metabolism require further research.

  • Biological Application and Disease of Oxidoreductase Enzymes Mezgebu Legesse Habte and Etsegenet Assefa Beyene
    Chapter Biological Application and Disease of Oxidoreductase Enzymes Mezgebu Legesse Habte and Etsegenet Assefa Beyene Abstract In biochemistry, oxidoreductase is a large group of enzymes that are involved in redox reaction in living organisms and in the laboratory. Oxidoreductase enzymes catalyze reaction involving oxygen insertion, hydride transfer, proton extraction, and other essential steps. There are a number of metabolic pathways like glycolysis, Krebs cycle, electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation, drug transfor- mation and detoxification in liver, photosynthesis in chloroplast of plants, etc. that require the direct involvements of oxidoreductase enzymes. In addition, degrada- tion of old and unnecessary endogenous biomolecules is catalyzed by a family of oxidoreductase enzymes, e.g., xanthine oxidoreductase. Oxidoreductase enzymes use NAD, FAD, or NADP as a cofactor and their efficiency, specificity, good biode- gradability, and being studied well make it fit well for industrial applications. In the near future, oxidoreductase may be utilized as the best biocatalyst in pharmaceuti- cal, food processing, and other industries. Oxidoreductase play a significant role in the field of disease diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. By analyzing the activities of enzymes and changes of certain substances in the body fluids, the number of disease conditions can be diagnosed. Disorders resulting from deficiency (quantita- tive and qualitative) and excess of oxidoreductase, which may contribute to the metabolic abnormalities and decreased normal performance of life, are becoming common. Keywords: biocatalyst, biological application, disease, metabolism, mutation, oxidoreductase 1.

Received: 22 December 2018; Accepted: 28 January 2019; Published: 31 January 2019 Abstract: The metabolic reprogramming of tumor cells and immune escape are two major hallmarks of cancer cells. The metabolic changes that occur during tumorigenesis, enabling survival and proliferation, are described for both solid and hematological malignancies. Concurrently, tumor cells have deployed mechanisms to escape immune cell recognition and destruction. Additionally, therapeutic blocking of tumor-mediated immunosuppression has proven to have an unprecedented positive impact in clinical oncology. Increased evidence suggests that cancer metabolism not only plays a crucial role in cancer signaling for sustaining tumorigenesis and survival, but also has wider implications in the regulation of antitumor immune signaling through both the release of signaling molecules and the expression of immune membrane ligands. Here, we review these molecular events to highlight the contribution of cancer cell metabolic reprogramming on the shaping of the antitumor immune response. Keywords: cancer; metabolism; immunity 1. Introduction Both the innate and adaptive immune systems have now established roles in the host defense against cancers through various mechanisms, which are raising an unprecedented development of modern cancer immunotherapies.
