Non-reactivity of the selenoenzyme glutathione peroxidase with enzymatically hydroperoxidized phospholipids.
Grossmann A., Wendel A.
Selenium-containing glutathione peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.9) was purified 6000-fold from bovine red blood cells to apparent homogeneity. Lipoxygenase (EC 1.13.11.12) was enriched 20-fold from soybean acetone powder. Linoleic acid was peroxidized with lipoxygenase and then used as a substrate in the gl ... >> More
Selenium-containing glutathione peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.9) was purified 6000-fold from bovine red blood cells to apparent homogeneity. Lipoxygenase (EC 1.13.11.12) was enriched 20-fold from soybean acetone powder. Linoleic acid was peroxidized with lipoxygenase and then used as a substrate in the glutathione peroxidase reaction. Analogous experiments were conducted with synthetic 1,2-dilinoleoyl-L-alpha-glycerophosphocholine and with natural bovine heart cardiolipin. The peroxidized phospholipids were reactive with glutathione peroxidase only after enzymatic attack by phospholipase A2 (EC 3.1.1.4). This result implies that the membrane-protective function of glutathione peroxidase includes preceeding phospholipase action and excludes a direct interaction of this enzyme with membrane-bound lipid hydroperoxides. << Less

Novel glutaredoxin activity of the yeast prion protein Ure2 reveals a native-like dimer within fibrils.
Zhang Z.R., Perrett S.
Ure2 is the protein determinant of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae prion [URE3]. Ure2 has structural similarity to glutathione transferases, protects cells against heavy metal and oxidant toxicity in vivo, and shows glutathione-dependent peroxidase activity in vitro.

Ure2 is the protein determinant of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae prion [URE3]. Ure2 has structural similarity to glutathione transferases, protects cells against heavy metal and oxidant toxicity in vivo, and shows glutathione-dependent peroxidase activity in vitro. Here we report that Ure2 (which has no cysteine residues) also shows thiol-disulfide oxidoreductase activity similar to that of glutaredoxin enzymes. This demonstrates that disulfide reductase activity can be independent of the classical glutaredoxin CXXC/CXXS motif or indeed an intrinsic catalytic cysteine residue. The kinetics of the glutaredoxin activity of Ure2 showed positive cooperativity for the substrate glutathione in both the soluble native state and in amyloid-like fibrils, indicating native-like dimeric structure within Ure2 fibrils. Characterization of the glutaredoxin activity of Ure2 sheds light on its ability to protect yeast from heavy metal ion and oxidant toxicity and suggests a role in reversible protein glutathionylation signal transduction. Observation of allosteric enzyme behavior within amyloid-like Ure2 fibrils not only provides insight into the molecular structure of the fibrils but also has implications for the mechanism of [URE3] prion formation. << Less

Hamster liver glutathione peroxidase was purified to homogeneity in three chromatographic steps and with 30% yield. The purified enzyme had a specific activity of approximately 500 mumol cumene hydroperoxide reduced/min/mg of protein at 37 degrees C, pH 7.6, and 0.25 mM GSH. The enzyme was shown to be a tetramer of indistinguishable subunits, the molecular weight of which was approximately 23,000 as estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A single isoelectric point of 5.0 was attributed to the active enzyme. Amino acid analysis determined that selenocysteine, identified as its carboxymethyl derivative, was the only form of selenium. One residue of cysteine was found to be present in each glutathione peroxidase subunit. The presence of tryptophan was colorimetrically determined. Pseudo-first-order kinetics of inactivation of the enzyme by iodoacetate was observed at neutral pH with GSH as the only reducing agent. An optimal pH of 8.0 at 37 degrees C and an activation energy of 3 kcal/mol at pH 7.6 were found. A ter-uni-ping-pong mechanism was shown by the use of an integrated-rate equation. At pH 7.6, the apparent second-order rate constants for reaction of glutathione peroxidase with hydroperoxides were as follows: k1 (t-butyl hydroperoxide), 7.06 X 10(5) mM-1 min-1; k1 (cumene hydroperoxide), 1.04 X 10(6) mM-1 min-1; k1 (p-menthane hydroperoxide), 1.2 X 10(6) mM-1 min-1; k1 (diisopropylbenzene hydroperoxide), 1.7 X 10(6) mM-1 min-1; k1 (linoleic acid hydroperoxide), 2.36 X 10(6) mM-1 min-1; k1 (ethyl hydroperoxide), 2.5 X 10(6) mM-1 min-1; and k1 (hydrogen peroxide), 2.98 X 10(6) mM-1 min-1. It is concluded that for bulky hydroperoxides, the more hydrophobic the substrate, the faster its reduction by glutathione peroxidase. << Less
