Protein carbonylation: molecular mechanisms, biological implications, and analytical approaches.,
Free Radical Research, Vol.55, No.4, 307-320, 2021.

(要約): Proteins are oxidatively modified by a large number of reactive species including reactive oxygen species, lipid peroxidation-derived aldehydes, and reducing sugars. Among divergent oxidative modifications, the introduction of carbonyl groups such as aldehyde, ketone, and lactam into the amino acid side chains of proteins is a major hallmark for oxidative damage to proteins, and is termed "protein carbonylation". Detection and quantification of protein carbonyls are commonly performed to determine the level of oxidative stress in the context of cellular damage, aging, and several age-related disorders. This review focuses on the molecular mechanisms and biological implications of protein carbonylation, and also presents current analytical approaches for determining and characterizing carbonylated proteins.

Oxidative deamination of lysine residues by polyphenols generates an equilibrium of aldehyde and 2-piperidinol products.,
The Journal of Biological Chemistry, Vol.297, No.3, 2021.

(要約): Polyphenols, especially catechol-type polyphenols, exhibit lysyl oxidase-like activity and mediate oxidative deamination of lysine residues in proteins. Previous studies have shown that polyphenol-mediated oxidative deamination of lysine residues can be associated with altered electrical properties of proteins and increased crossreactivity with natural immunoglobulin M antibodies. This interaction suggested that oxidized proteins could act as innate antigens and elicit an innate immune response. However, the structural basis for oxidatively deaminated lysine residues remains unclear. In the present study, to establish the chemistry of lysine oxidation, we characterized oxidation products obtained via incubation of the lysine analog N-biotinyl-5-aminopentylamine with eggshell membranes containing lysyl oxidase and identified a unique six-membered ring 2-piperidinol derivative equilibrated with a ring-open product (aldehyde) as the major product. By monitoring these aldehyde-2-piperidinol products, we evaluated the lysyl oxidase-like activity of polyphenols. We also observed that this reaction was mediated by some polyphenols, especially o-diphenolic-type polyphenols, in the presence of copper ions. Interestingly, the natural immunoglobulin M monoclonal antibody recognized these aldehyde-2-piperidinol products as an innate epitope. These findings establish the existence of a dynamic equilibrium of oxidized lysine and provide important insights into the chemopreventive function of dietary polyphenols for chronic diseases.

Phenethyl isothiocyanate activates leptin signaling and decreases food intake.,
PLoS ONE, Vol.13, No.11, 2018.

(要約): Obesity, a principal risk factor for the development of diabetes mellitus, heart disease, and hypertension, is a growing and serious health problem all over the world. Leptin is a weight-reducing hormone produced by adipose tissue, which decreases food intake via hypothalamic leptin receptors (Ob-Rb) and the Janus kinase 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (JAK2/STAT3) signaling pathway. Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) negatively regulates leptin signaling by dephosphorylating JAK2, and the increased activity of PTP1B is implicated in the pathogenesis of obesity. Hence, inhibition of PTP1B may help prevent and reduce obesity. In this study, we revealed that phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), a naturally occurring isothiocyanate in certain cruciferous vegetables, potently inhibits recombinant PTP1B by binding to the reactive cysteinyl thiol. Moreover, we found that PEITC causes the ligand-independent phosphorylation of Ob-Rb, JAK2, and STAT3 by inhibiting cellular PTP1B in differentiated human SH-SY5Y neuronal cells. PEITC treatment also induced nuclear accumulation of phosphorylated STAT3, resulting in enhanced anorexigenic POMC expression and suppressed orexigenic NPY/AGRP expression. We demonstrated that oral administration of PEITC to mice significantly reduces food intake, and stimulates hypothalamic leptin signaling. Our results suggest that PEITC might help prevent and improve obesity.

Identification of Polyphenol-Specific Innate Epitopes That Originated from a Resveratrol Analogue.,
Biochemistry, Vol.56, No.35, 4701-4712, 2017.

(要約): Polyphenols have received a significant amount of attention in disease prevention because of their unique chemical and biological properties. However, the underlying molecular mechanism for their beneficial effects remains unclear. We have now identified a polyphenol as a source of innate epitopes detected in natural IgM and established a unique gain-of-function mechanism in the formation of innate epitopes by polyphenol via the polymerization of proteins. Upon incubation with bovine serum albumin (BSA) under physiological conditions, several polyphenols converted the protein into the innate epitopes recognized by the IgM Abs. Interestingly, piceatannol, a naturally occurring hydroxylated analogue of a red wine polyphenol, resveratrol, mediated the modification of BSA, whose polymerized form was specifically recognized by the IgMs. The piceatannol-mediated polymerization of the protein was associated with the formation of a lysine-derived cross-link, dehydrolysinonorleucine. In addition, an oxidatively deaminated product, α-aminoadipic semialdehyde, was detected as a potential precursor for the cross-link in the piceatannol-treated BSA, suggesting that the polymerization of the protein might be mediated by the oxidation of a lysine residue by piceatannol followed by a Schiff base reaction with the ε-amino group of an unoxidized lysine residue. The results of this study established a novel mechanism for the formation of innate epitopes by small dietary molecules and support the notion that many of the beneficial effects of polyphenols could be attributed, at least in part, to their lysyl oxidase-like activity. They also suggest that resveratrol may have beneficial effects on human health because of its conversion to piceatannol.

Identification of lactate dehydrogenase as a mammalian pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ)-binding protein.,
Scientific Reports, Vol.6, 2016.

(要約): Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), a redox-active o-quinone, is an important nutrient involved in numerous physiological and biochemical processes in mammals. Despite such beneficial functions, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain to be established. In the present study, using PQQ-immobilized Sepharose beads as a probe, we examined the presence of protein(s) that are capable of binding PQQ in mouse NIH/3T3 fibroblasts and identified five cellular proteins, including l-lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) A chain, as potential mammalian PQQ-binding proteins. In vitro studies using a purified rabbit muscle LDH show that PQQ inhibits the formation of lactate from pyruvate in the presence of NADH (forward reaction), whereas it enhances the conversion of lactate to pyruvate in the presence of NAD(+) (reverse reaction). The molecular mechanism underlying PQQ-mediated regulation of LDH activity is attributed to the oxidation of NADH to NAD(+) by PQQ. Indeed, the PQQ-bound LDH oxidizes NADH, generating NAD(+), and significantly catalyzes the conversion of lactate to pyruvate. Furthermore, PQQ attenuates cellular lactate release and increases intracellular ATP levels in the NIH/3T3 fibroblasts. Our results suggest that PQQ, modulating LDH activity to facilitate pyruvate formation through its redox-cycling activity, may be involved in the enhanced energy production via mitochondrial TCA cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.

H(+)/peptide transporter (PEPT2) is expressed in human epidermal keratinocytes and is involved in skin oligopeptide transport.,
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, Vol.475, No.4, 335-341, 2016.

(要約): Peptide transporter 2 (PEPT2) is a member of the proton-coupled oligopeptide transporter family, which mediates the cellular uptake of oligopeptides and peptide-like drugs. Although PEPT2 is expressed in many tissues, its expression in epidermal keratinocytes remains unclear. We investigated PEPT2 expression profile and functional activity in keratinocytes. We confirmed PEPT2 mRNA expression in three keratinocyte lines (normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs), immortalized keratinocytes, and malignant keratinocytes) by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and quantitative real-time RT-PCR. In contrast to PEPT1, PEPT2 expression in the three keratinocytes was similar or higher than that in HepG2 cells, used as PEPT2-positive cells. Immunolocalization analysis using human skin showed epidermal PEPT2 localization. We studied keratinocyte transport function by measuring the oligopeptide content using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry. Glycylsarcosine uptake in NHEKs was pH-dependent, suggesting that keratinocytes could absorb small peptides in the presence of an inward H(+) gradient. We also performed a skin-permeability test of several oligopeptides using skin substitute, suggesting that di- and tripeptides pass actively through the epidermis. In conclusion, PEPT2 is expressed in keratinocytes and involved in skin oligopeptide uptake.

Oxidative Deamination of Serum Albumins by (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-O-Gallate: A Potential Mechanism for the Formation of Innate Antigens by Antioxidants.,
PLoS ONE, Vol.11, No.4, 2016.

(要約): (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCG), the most abundant polyphenol in green tea, mediates the oxidative modification of proteins, generating protein carbonyls. However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. Here we analyzed the EGCG-derived intermediates generated upon incubation with the human serum albumin (HSA) and established that EGCG selectively oxidized the lysine residues via its oxidative deamination activity. In addition, we characterized the EGCG-oxidized proteins and discovered that the EGCG could be an endogenous source of the electrically-transformed proteins that could be recognized by the natural antibodies. When HSA was incubated with EGCG in the phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.4) at 37°C, the protein carbonylation was associated with the formation of EGCG-derived products, such as the protein-bound EGCG, oxidized EGCG, and aminated EGCG. The aminated EGCG was also detected in the sera from the mice treated with EGCG in vivo. EGCG selectively oxidized lysine residues at the EGCG-binding domains in HSA to generate an oxidatively deaminated product, aminoadipic semialdehyde. In addition, EGCG treatment results in the increased negative charge of the protein due to the oxidative deamination of the lysine residues. More strikingly, the formation of protein carbonyls by EGCG markedly increased its cross-reactivity with the natural IgM antibodies. These findings suggest that many of the beneficial effects of EGCG may be partly attributed to its oxidative deamination activity, generating the oxidized proteins as a target of natural antibodies.

Recent progress in studies on the health benefits of pyrroloquinoline quinone.,
Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, Vol.80, No.1, 13-22, 2015.

(要約): Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), an aromatic tricyclic o-quinone, was identified initially as a redox cofactor for bacterial dehydrogenases. Although PQQ is not biosynthesized in mammals, trace amounts of PQQ have been found in human and rat tissues because of its wide distribution in dietary sources. Importantly, nutritional studies in rodents have revealed that PQQ deficiency exhibits diverse systemic responses, including growth impairment, immune dysfunction, and abnormal reproductive performance. Although PQQ is not currently classified as a vitamin, PQQ has been implicated as an important nutrient in mammals. In recent years, PQQ has been receiving much attention owing to its physiological importance and pharmacological effects. In this article, we review the potential health benefits of PQQ with a focus on its growth-promoting activity, anti-diabetic effect, anti-oxidative action, and neuroprotective function. Additionally, we provide an update of its basic pharmacokinetics and safety information in oral ingestion.

Palmitate induces insulin resistance in human HepG2 hepatocytes by enhancing ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of key insulin signaling molecules.,
Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, Vol.566, 26-35, 2014.

(要約): Obesity-associated insulin resistance is a major pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus and is characterized by defects in insulin signaling. High concentrations of plasma free fatty acids (FFAs) are involved in the etiology of obesity-associated insulin resistance. However, the detailed mechanism by which FFAs contribute to the development of insulin resistance is not yet fully understood. We investigated the molecular basis of insulin resistance elicited by FFAs using the human hepatocyte cell line HepG2. Among major human FFAs, palmitate markedly inhibited insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of key insulin signaling molecules such as insulin receptor, insulin receptor substrate-1, and Akt, indicating that palmitate is the principal inducer of insulin resistance. We revealed that palmitate facilitates ubiquitination of the key insulin signaling molecules, and subsequently elicits their proteasomal degradation. Furthermore, we demonstrated that inhibition of ubiquitination by the ubiquitin-activating enzyme E1 inhibitor PYR41 significantly prevents palmitate-inducible insulin resistance but not by the proteasome inhibitor MG132, implying that ubiquitinated signaling molecules may be dysfunctional. In conclusion, inhibition of ubiquitination of the key insulin signaling molecules may be a potential strategy for preventing and treating obesity-associated insulin resistance.

Pyrroloquinoline quinone, a novel protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B inhibitor, activates insulin signaling in C2C12 myotubes and improves impaired glucose tolerance in diabetic KK-A(y) mice.,
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, Vol.428, No.2, 315-320, 2012.

(要約): Insulin resistance is a pathological hallmark of type 2 diabetes mellitus and is characterized by defects in insulin signaling. Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) negatively regulates insulin signaling by tyrosine dephosphorylation of insulin receptor, and increased activity and expression of PTP1B is implicated in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance. Therefore, inhibition of PTP1B is anticipated to improve insulin resistance in type 2 diabetic subjects. Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), a redox cofactor for bacterial dehydrogenases, inhibits PTP1B to oxidatively modify the catalytic cysteine through its redox cycling activity. Here, we report that PQQ induces the ligand-independent activation of insulin signaling by inhibiting cellular PTP1B and enhances glucose uptake through the translocation of glucose transporter 4 in mouse C2C12 myotubes. Furthermore, we demonstrated that oral administration of PQQ improved impaired glucose tolerance in type 2 diabetic KK-A(y) mice. Our results strongly suggest that PQQ can be useful in anti-diabetic treatment for type 2 diabetic subjects.

Pyrroloquinoline quinone stimulates epithelial cell proliferation by activating epidermal growth factor receptor through redox cycling.,
Free Radical Biology and Medicine, Vol.53, No.6, 1239-1251, 2012.

(要約): Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), a redox cofactor for bacterial dehydrogenases, has been implicated to be an important nutrient in mammals functioning as a potent growth factor. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms have not been elucidated. The present study revealed that PQQ induces the activation (tyrosine autophosphorylation) of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and its downstream signaling in a ligand-independent manner, leading to increased cellular proliferation in an epithelial cell line A431. PQQ inhibited protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), which negatively regulates the EGFR signaling by tyrosine dephosphorylation, to oxidatively modify the catalytic cysteine through its redox cycling activity to generate H(2)O(2). PQQ-inducible intracellular ROS production and EGFR activation were significantly suppressed by the pre-treatment with antioxidants. The intracellular redox state regulates the EGFR signaling through the redox-sensitive catalytic cysteine of PTP1B and modulates cell proliferation. Our data suggest that PQQ may stimulate epithelial cell proliferation by activating EGFR by oxidation and subsequent inactivation of PTP1B via its redox cycling. Our results provide novel insight into the mechanisms by which PQQ may function as a growth factor to contribute to mammalian growth.

Quantitative analysis of acrolein-specific adducts generated during lipid peroxidation-modification of proteins in vitro: identification of N(τ)-(3-propanal)histidine as the major adduct.,
Chemical Research in Toxicology, Vol.25, No.7, 1384-1392, 2012.

(要約): Acrolein, a ubiquitous pollutant in the environment, is endogenously formed through oxidation reactions and is believed to be involved in cytopathological effects observed during oxidative stress. Acrolein exerts these effects because of its facile reactivity with biological materials, particularly proteins. In the present study, we quantitatively analyzed the acrolein-specific adducts generated during lipid peroxidation-modification of proteins and identified the acrolein adduct most abundantly generated in the in vitro oxidized low-density lipoproteins (LDL). Taking advantage of the fact that the acrolein-lysine adducts, N(ε)-(3-formyl-3,4-dehydropiperidino)lysine (FDP-lysine) and N(ε)-(3-methylpyridinium)lysine (MP-lysine), have stable core structures resistant to the acid hydrolysis condition of proteins, we examined the formation of these adducts in proteins using high performance liquid chromatography with online electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. However, only MP-lysine was detected as a minor product in the iron/ascorbate-mediated oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the presence of proteins and in the oxidized low-density lipoproteins (LDL). However, using a reductive amination-based pyridylamination method, we analyzed the acrolein-specific adducts with a carbonyl functionality and found that acrolein modification of the protein produced a number of carbonylated amino acids, including an acrolein-histidine adduct. On the basis of the chemical and spectroscopic evidence, this adduct was identified as N(τ)-(3-propanal)histidine. More notably, N(τ)-(3-propanal)histidine appeared to be one of the major adducts generated in the oxidized LDL. These data suggest that acrolein generated during lipid peroxidation may primarily react with histidine residues of proteins to form N(τ)-(3-propanal)histidine.

Cinnamon extract promotes type I collagen biosynthesis via activation of IGF-I signaling in human dermal fibroblasts.,
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, Vol.60, No.5, 1193-1200, 2012.

(要約): The breakdown of collagenous networks with aging results in hypoactive changes in the skin. Accordingly, reviving stagnant collagen synthesis can help protect dermal homeostasis against aging. We searched for type I collagen biosynthesis-inducing substances in various foods using human dermal fibroblasts and found that cinnamon extract facilitates collagen biosynthesis. Cinnamon extract potently up-regulated both mRNA and protein expression levels of type I collagen without cytotoxicity. We identified cinnamaldehyde as a major active component promoting the expression of collagen by HPLC and NMR analysis. Since insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is the most potent stimulator of collagen biosynthesis in fibroblasts, we examined the effect of cinnamaldehyde on IGF-I signaling. Treatment with cinnamaldehyde significantly increased the phosphorylation levels of the IGF-I receptor and its downstream signaling molecules such as insulin receptor substrate-1 and Erk1/2 in an IGF-I-independent manner. These results suggested that cinnamon extract is useful in antiaging treatment of skin.

A method for detection of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal adducts in proteins.,
Free Radical Biology and Medicine, Vol.51, No.1, 1-4, 2011.

(要約): We developed a procedure to measure 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE)-amino acid adducts using the fluorescent probe 2-aminopyridine (2-AP). The method is based on the fact that HNE forms Michael addition-type amino acid adducts possessing an aldehyde functionality, which upon reaction with 2-AP in the presence of NaBH₃CN can be converted to their pyridylaminated derivatives. The HNE-amino acid adducts, namely Michael addition-type HNE-cysteine, HNE-histidine, and HNE-lysine adducts, after pyridylamination were resistant to conventional acid-hydrolysis conditions for protein (6N HCl/110°C/24 h) and could be detected by HPLC with a fluorescence detector. The reductive amination-based fluorescent labeling of HNE adducts is a simple and accurate technique that may be widely used to reveal increased levels of covalently modified proteins with HNE and its related aldehydes during aging and disease.

(-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate suppresses growth of AZ521 human gastric cancer cells by targeting the DEAD-box RNA helicase p68.,
Free Radical Biology and Medicine, Vol.50, No.10, 1324-1335, 2011.

(要約): (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), the most abundant and biologically active polyphenol in green tea, induces apoptosis and suppresses proliferation of cancer cells by modulating multiple signal transduction pathways. However, the fundamental mechanisms responsible for these cancer-preventive effects have not been clearly elucidated. Recently, we found that EGCG can covalently bind to cysteine residues in proteins through autoxidation and subsequently modulate protein function. In this study, we demonstrate the direct binding of EGCG to cellular proteins in AZ521 human gastric cancer cells by redox-cycle staining. We comprehensively explored the binding targets of EGCG from EGCG-treated AZ521 cells by proteomics techniques combined with the boronate-affinity pull-down method. The DEAD-box RNA helicase p68, which is overexpressed in a variety of tumor cells and plays an important role in cancer development and progression, was identified as a novel EGCG-binding target. Exposure of AZ521 cells to EGCG lowered the p68 level dose dependently. The present findings show that EGCG inhibits AZ521 cell proliferation by preventing β-catenin oncogenic signaling through proteasomal degradation of p68 and provide a new perspective on the molecular mechanism of EGCG action.

Human serum albumin as an antioxidant in the oxidation of (-)-epigallocatechin gallate: participation of reversible covalent binding for interaction and stabilization.,
Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, Vol.75, No.1, 100-106, 2011.

(要約): Human serum albumin (HSA) contributes to the stabilization of (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) in serum. We characterize in the present study the mechanisms for preventing EGCg oxidation by HSA. EGCg was stable in human serum or buffers with HSA, but (-)-epigallocatechin (EGC) was unstable. We show by comparing EGCg and EGC in a neutral buffer that EGCg had a higher binding affinity than EGC. This indicates that the galloyl moiety participated in the interaction of EGCg with HSA and that this interaction was of critical importance in preventing EGCg oxidation. The binding affinity of EGCg for HSA and protein carbonyl formation in HSA were enhanced in an alkaline buffer. These results suggest the reversible covalent modification of EGCg via Schiff-base formation, and that the immobilization of EGCg to HSA, through the formation of a stable complex, prevented the polymerization and decomposition of EGCg in human serum.

Covalent binding of tea catechins to protein thiols: the relationship between stability and electrophilic reactivity.,
Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, Vol.74, No.12, 2451-2456, 2010.

(要約): In this study, we investigated the relationship between the stability of catechins and their electrophilic reactivity with proteins. The stability of catechins was evaluated by HPLC analysis. Catechol-type catechins were stable in a neutral buffer, but pyrogallol-type catechins, such as (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg), were unstable. The electrophilic reactivity of catechins with thiol groups in a model peptide and a protein was confirmed by both mass spectrometry and electrophoresis/blotting with redox-cycling staining. In a comparison of several catechins, pyrogallol-type catechins had higher reactivity with protein thiols than catechol-type catechins. The instability and reactivity of EGCg were enhanced in an alkaline pH buffer. The reactivity of EGCg was reduced by antioxidants due to their ability to prevent EGCg autoxidation. These results indicate that the instability against oxidation of catechins is profoundly related to their electrophilic reactivity. Consequently, the difference in these properties of tea catechins can contribute to the magnitude of their biological activities.

α-Lipoic acid induces collagen biosynthesis involving prolyl hydroxylase expression via activation of TGF-β-Smad signaling in human dermal fibroblasts.,
Connective Tissue Research, Vol.51, No.5, 378-387, 2010.

(要約): The collapse of collagenous networks with aging results in comprehensive changes in the functional properties of skin. α-Lipoic acid (LA) is known to possess beneficial effects against skin aging, effects often presumed to be its antioxidant potential. However, the effects of LA on fibrillogenesis in dermal fibroblasts have not been adequately assessed. In this study, we demonstrated for the first time that LA enhances the biosynthesis of new collagen in normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDFs). By using a quantitative dye-binding method and immunochemical approaches, we showed that LA effectively increased the expression and subsequently the deposition of type I collagen in NHDFs. LA also facilitated the expression of a collagen-processing enzyme, prolyl-4-hydroxylase, pointing to the existence of a posttranslational mechanism among the LA-mediated effects on collagen synthesis. In addition, we determined that both Smad 2/3 were rapidly phosphorylated by treatment with LA within 30 min, indicating that LA enhances type I collagen synthesis through the activation of Smad signaling. Pretreatment of SB431542, a specific transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) receptor type I (TβRI) kinase inhibitor, blocked LA-mediated Smad 2/3 phosphorylations and both type I collagen and prolyl-4-hydroxylase expression, suggesting that LA-mediated cell responses are regulated by TβRI kinase-dependent pathway. Levels of TGF-β secretion after 4 hr of treatment with LA were not remarkably elevated, indicating that LA may be able to mimic TGF-β-mediated cell response. The study results produced new insights into the molecular pharmacology of LA in NHDFs, with potential applications in the treatment of aging skin.

Structural characteristics of green tea catechins for formation of protein carbonyl in human serum albumin.,
Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry, Vol.18, No.14, 4892-4896, 2010.

(要約): Catechins are polyphenolic antioxidants found in green tea leaves. Recent studies have reported that various polyphenolic compounds, including catechins, cause protein carbonyl formation in proteins via their pro-oxidant actions. In this study, we evaluate the formation of protein carbonyl in human serum albumin (HSA) by tea catechins and investigate the relationship between catechin chemical structure and its pro-oxidant property. To assess the formation of protein carbonyl in HSA, HSA was incubated with four individual catechins under physiological conditions to generate biotin-LC-hydrazide labeled protein carbonyls. Comparison of catechins using Western blotting revealed that the formation of protein carbonyl in HSA was higher for pyrogallol-type catechins than the corresponding catechol-type catechins. In addition, the formation of protein carbonyl was also found to be higher for the catechins having a galloyl group than the corresponding catechins lacking a galloyl group. The importance of the pyrogallol structural motif in the B-ring and the galloyl group was confirmed using methylated catechins and phenolic acids. These results indicate that the most important structural element contributing to the formation of protein carbonyl in HSA by tea catechins is the pyrogallol structural motif in the B-ring, followed by the galloyl group. The oxidation stability and binding affinity of tea catechins with proteins are responsible for the formation of protein carbonyl, and consequently the difference in these properties of each catechin may contribute to the magnitude of their biological activities.

Pro-oxidant action of pyrroloquinoline quinone: characterization of protein oxidative modifications.,
Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, Vol.74, No.3, 663-666, 2010.

(要約): Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), a putative essential nutrient, is a redox modulator in cell and animal models. Here we characterized PQQ-induced protein oxidative modifications in a model peptide and protein, and we propose that the mechanism of protein modification by PQQ is redox cycling-mediated oxidation. PQQ may contribute to the regulation of intracellular protein functions through its prooxidant action.

Catechol type polyphenol is a potential modifier of protein sulfhydryls: development and application of a new probe for understanding the dietary polyphenol actions.,
Chemical Research in Toxicology, Vol.22, No.10, 1689-1698, 2009.

(要約): The oxidation of dietary polyphenols with a catechol structure leads to the formation of an o-quinone structure, which rapidly reacts with sulfhydryls such as glutathione and protein cysteine residues. This modification may be important for understanding the redox regulation of cell functions by polyphenols. In this study, to investigate the catechol modification of protein sulfhydryls, we used 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl acetic acid (DPA) as a model catechol compound and developed a new probe to directly detect protein modification by catechol type polyphenols using a biotinylated DPA (Bio-DPA). The oxidation-dependent electrophilic reactivity of DPA with peptide sulfhydryls was confirmed by both mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. When RL34 cells were treated with Bio-DPA, the significant incorporation of Bio-DPA into a 40 kDa protein was observed by Western blot analysis. The band was identified by mass spectrometry as the cytoskeletal protein, beta-actin. This identification was confirmed by the pull-down assay with anti-beta-actin antibody. To examine the reactivity of the catechol type polyphenols, such as flavonoids, to endogenous beta-actin, RL34 cells were coexposed to Bio-DPA and the flavonoids quercetin, (-)-epicatechin, and (-)-epicatechin gallate. Upon exposure of the cells to Bio-DPA in the presence of the flavonoids, we observed a significant decrease in the DPA-modified beta-actin. These results indicate that beta-actin is one of the major targets of protein modification by catechol type polyphenols and that Bio-DPA is an useful probe for understanding the redox regulation by dietary polyphenols. Furthermore, Keap1, a scaffold protein to the actin cytoskeleton controlling cytoprotective enzyme genes, was also identified as another plausible target of the catechol type polyphenols by oxidative modification of the intracellular sulfhydryls. These results provide an alternative approach to understand that catechol type polyphenol is a potential modifier of redox-dependent cellular events through sulfhydryl modification.

Stereochemical configuration of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal-cysteine adducts and their stereoselective formation in a redox-regulated protein.,
The Journal of Biological Chemistry, Vol.284, No.42, 28810-28822, 2009.

(要約): 4-Hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE), a major racemic product of lipid peroxidation, preferentially reacts with cysteine residues to form a stable HNE-cysteine Michael addition adduct possessing three chiral centers. Here, to gain more insight into sulfhydryl modification by HNE, we characterized the stereochemical configuration of the HNE-cysteine adducts and investigated their stereoselective formation in redox-regulated proteins. To characterize the HNE-cysteine adducts by NMR, the authentic (R)-HNE- and (S)-HNE-cysteine adducts were prepared by incubating N-acetylcysteine with each HNE enantiomer, both of which provided two peaks in reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The NMR analysis revealed that each peak was a mixture of anomeric isomers. In addition, mutarotation at the anomeric center was also observed in the analysis of the nuclear Overhauser effect. To analyze these adducts in proteins, we adapted a pyridylamination-based approach, using 2-aminopyridine in the presence of sodium cyanoborohydride, which enabled analyzing the individual (R)-HNE- and (S)-HNE-cysteine adducts by reversed-phase HPLC following acid hydrolysis. Using the pyridylamination method along with mass spectrometry, we characterized the stereoselective formation of the HNE-cysteine adducts in human thioredoxin and found that HNE preferentially modifies Cys(73) and, to the lesser extent, the active site Cys(32). More interestingly, the (R)-HNE- and (S)-HNE-cysteine adducts were almost equally formed at Cys(73), whereas Cys(32) exhibited a remarkable preference for the adduct formation with (R)-HNE. Finally, the utility of the method for the determination of the HNE-cysteine adducts was confirmed by an in vitro study using HeLa cells. The present results not only offer structural insight into sulfhydryl modification by lipid peroxidation products but also provide a platform for the chemical analysis of protein S-associated aldehydes in vitro and in vivo.

Fluorescent detection of alpha-aminoadipic and gamma-glutamic semialdehydes in oxidized proteins.,
Free Radical Biology and Medicine, Vol.46, No.6, 701-706, 2008.

(要約): The oxidative modification of proteins is believed to play a critical role in the etiology and/or progression of several diseases. alpha-Aminoadipic semialdehyde (AAS) and gamma-glutamic semialdehyde (GGS) residues represent major oxidized amino acids generated in oxidized proteins. This paper describes a novel procedure for the specific and sensitive determination of AAS and GGS after their reductive amination with sodium cyanoborohydride and p-aminobenzoic acid, a fluorescence reagent, to their corresponding derivatives, followed by a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. This fluorescent labeling of protein-associated aldehyde moieties is a simple and accurate technique that may be widely used to reveal increased levels of oxidatively modified proteins with reactive oxygen species during aging and disease.

Covalent modification of proteins by green tea polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate through autoxidation.,
Free Radical Biology and Medicine, Vol.45, No.10, 1384-1394, 2008.

(要約): Green tea polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) has various beneficial properties including chemopreventive, anticarcinogenic, and antioxidant actions. The interaction with proteins known as EGCG-binding targets may be related to the anticancer effects. However, the binding mechanisms for this activity remain poorly understood. Using mass spectrometry and chemical detection methods, we found that EGCG forms covalent adducts with cysteinyl thiol residues in proteins through autoxidation. To investigate the functional modulation caused by binding of EGCG, we examined the interaction between EGCG and a thiol enzyme, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). Concentration-dependent covalent binding of EGCG to GAPDH was found to be coupled to the irreversible inhibition of GAPDH activity. Mutation experiments revealed that EGCG is primarily bound to the cysteinyl thiol group of the active center, indicating that the irreversible inhibition of GAPDH is due to the covalent attachment of EGCG to the active-center cysteine. Moreover, using EGCG-treated cancer cells, we identified GAPDH as a target of EGCG covalent binding through specific interactions between catechols and aminophenyl boronate agarose resin. Based on these findings, we propose that the covalent modification of proteins by EGCG may be a novel pathway related to the biological activity of EGCG.

Assessment of prion inactivation by fenton reaction using protein misfolding cyclic amplification and bioassay.,
Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, Vol.71, No.8, 2069-2071, 2007.

(要約): An abnormal isoform of the prion protein, associated with transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, retains infectivity even after undergoing routine sterilization processes. We found that a formulation of iron ions combined with hydrogen peroxide effectively reduced infectivity and the level of abnormal isoforms of the prion protein in scrapie-infected brain homogenates. Therefore, the Fenton reaction has potential for prion decontamination.

Proteomic analysis of wheat flour allergens.,
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, Vol.55, No.17, 6863-6870, 2007.

(要約): Wheat can cause severe IgE-mediated systematic reactions, but knowledge on relevant wheat allergens at the molecular level is scanty. The aim of the present study was to achieve a more detailed and comprehensive characterization of the wheat allergens involved in food allergy to wheat using proteomic strategies, referred to as "allergenomics". Whole flour proteins were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis with isoelectric focusing and lithium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Then, IgE-binding proteins were detected by immunoblotting with sera of patients with a food allergy to wheat. After tryptic digestion, the peptides of IgE-binding proteins were analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometry. In this study, we identified four previously reported wheat allergens or their sequentially homologous proteins [serpin, alpha-amylase inhibitor, gamma-gliadin, and low molecular weight (LMW) glutenin] by a database search. As a result of the high resolution of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, nine subunits of LMW glutenins were identified as the most predominant IgE-binding antigens. The two-dimensional allergen map can be beneficial in many ways. It could be used, for example, for precise diagnosis of wheat-allergic patients and assessment of wheat allergens in food. Additionally, we compared allergenomics to conventional biochemical methods and evaluated the usefulness of a proteomic strategy for identifying putative allergens to wheat allergy.

Protein-bound 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal: an endogenous triggering antigen of antI-DNA response.,
The Journal of Biological Chemistry, Vol.282, No.35, 25769-25778, 2007.

(要約): Several lines of evidence indicate that the nonenzymatic oxidative modification of proteins and the subsequent accumulation of the modified proteins have been found in cells during aging and oxidative stress and in various pathological states, including premature diseases, muscular dystrophy, rheumatoid arthritis, and atherosclerosis. Our previous work suggested the existence of molecular mimicry between antibodies raised against hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE)-modified protein and anti-DNA autoantibodies, a serologic hallmark of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In the present study, we investigated the possible involvement of HNE-modified proteins as the endogenous source of the anti-DNA antibodies. Accumulation of the antigen recognized by the antibody against the HNE-modified protein was observed in the nucleus of almost all of the epidermal cells from patients with autoimmune diseases, including SLE. The SLE patients also showed significantly higher serum levels of the anti-HNE titer than healthy individuals. To determine if a specific anti-DNA response could be initiated by the HNE-derived epitopes, we immunized BALB/c mice with the HNE-modified protein and observed a progressive increase in the anti-DNA response. Moreover, we generated the monoclonal antibodies, showing recognition specificity toward DNA, and found that they can bind to two structurally distinct antigens (i.e. the native DNA and protein-bound 4-oxo-2-nonenal). The findings in this study provide evidence to suspect an etiologic role for lipid peroxidation in autoimmune diseases.

Prion inactivation by the Maillard reaction.,
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, Vol.356, No.1, 245-248, 2007.

(要約): Since variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) has been suspected to be attributable to the infectious agents associated with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), it is important to prevent the transmission of pathogenic forms of prion protein (PrP(Sc)) through contaminated feeding materials such as meat and bone meal (MBM). Here, we demonstrate that the Maillard reaction employing a formulation of glucose in combination with sodium hydrogen carbonates effectively reduced the infectivity (approximately 5.9-log reduction) of a scrapie-infected hamster brain homogenate. In addition to a bioassay, a protein misfolding cyclic amplification (PMCA) technique, in which PrP(Sc) can be amplified in vitro, was used as a rapid test for assessing PrP(Sc) inactivation. The PMCA analysis also indicated that the PrP(Sc) level in the infected material significantly decreased following the Maillard reaction. Therefore, the Maillard reaction can be employed for the decontamination of large amounts of byproducts such as MBM.

Metal-catalyzed oxidation of protein-bound dopamine.,
Biochemistry, Vol.45, No.50, 15120-15128, 2006.

(要約): Dopamine (DA) is an unstable neurotransmitter that readily oxidizes to the DA quinone and forms reactive oxygen species, such as superoxide and hydrogen peroxide. The oxidized dopamine also forms thiol conjugates with sulfhydryl groups on cysteine, glutathione, and proteins. In the present study, we determined the redox potential of the protein-bound DA and established a novel mechanism for the oxidative modification of the protein, in which the DA-cysteine adduct generated in the DA-modified protein causes oxidative modification of the DA-bound protein in the presence of Cu2+. Exposure of a sulfhydryl enzyme, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, to DA resulted in a significant loss of sulfhydryl groups and the formation of the DA-cysteine adduct. When the DA-modified protein was incubated with Cu2+, we observed aggregation and degradation of the DA-bound protein and concomitant formation of a protein carbonyl, a marker of an oxidatively modified protein. Furthermore, we analyzed the carbonyl products generated during the Cu2+-catalyzed oxidation of the DA-modified protein and revealed the production of glutamic and aminoadipic semialdehydes, consisting of the protein carbonyls generated. The cysteinyl-DA residue generated in the DA-modified protein was suggested to represent a redox-active adduct, based on the observations that the cysteinyl-DA adduct, 5-S-cysteinyldopamine, produced by the reaction of cysteine with DA, gave rise to the oxidative modification of bovine serum albumin in the presence of Cu2+. These data suggest that the DA-modified protein may be involved in redox alteration under oxidative stress, whereby DA covalently binds to cysteine residues, generating the redox-active cysteinyl-DA adduct that causes the metal-catalyzed oxidation of protein.

New method for the quantitative determination of major protein carbonyls, alpha-aminoadipic and gamma-glutamic semialdehydes: investigation of the formation mechanism and chemical nature in vitro and in vivo.,
Chemical Research in Toxicology, Vol.19, No.8, 1059-1065, 2006.

(要約): Alpha-aminoadipic semialdehyde (AAS) and gamma-glutamic semialdehyde (GGS) are identified as the major carbonyl products in oxidized proteins. To elucidate the formation pathway of AAS and GGS in vivo, we developed and validated a new quantification method. AAS and GGS in proteins were derivatized by reductive amination with NaCNBH(3) and p-aminobenzoic acid, a fluorescent reagent, followed by acid hydrolysis. It is noteworthy that the fluorescent derivatives were completely stable during acid hydrolysis. The present method permitted the specific, accurate, and sensitive quantification of both semialdehydes by fluorometric high-performance liquid chromatography. Analysis of proteins oxidized by various oxidation systems revealed that AAS and GGS are notably generated by the reaction of proteins with (*)OH, which is produced by metal-catalyzed oxidation (MCO). Furthermore, exposure of transferrin and human plasma to ascorbic acid and H(2)O(2) significantly promoted the formation of AAS and GGS in vitro, suggesting that both semialdehydes can be generated by MCO in vivo. We also demonstrated their generation through oxidative stress induced by acute iron overload in vivo. In this paper, we describe this analytical technique for simple and precise measurement of AAS and GGS and discuss their formation mechanism in vivo.

Bispecific abs against modified protein and DNA with oxidized lipids,
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol.103, No.16, 6160-6165, 2006.

(要約): 4-Hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE), a racemic mixture of 4R- and 4S-enantiomers, is a major product of lipid peroxidation and is believed to be largely responsible for the cytopathological effects observed during oxidative stress. HNE reacts with histidine to form a stable HNE-histidine Michael addition-type adduct possessing three chiral centers in the cyclic hemiacetal structure. We have previously raised the mAbs, anti-R mAb 310 and anti-S mAb S412, that enantioselectively recognized the R-HNE-histidine and R-HNE-histidine adducts, respectively, and demonstrated the presence of both epitopes in vivo. In the present study, to further investigate the anti-HNE immune response, we analyzed the variable genes and primary structure of these Abs and found that the sequence of R310 was highly homologous to anti-DNA autoantibodies, the hallmark of systemic lupus erythematosus. An x-ray crystallographic analysis of the R310 Fab fragment showed that the R-HNE-histidine adduct binds to a hydrophobic pocket in the antigen-binding site. Despite the structural identity to the anti-DNA autoantibodies, however, R310 showed only a slight crossreactivity with the native double-stranded DNA, whereas the Ab immunoreactivity was dramatically enhanced by the treatment of the DNA with 4-oxo-2-nonenal (ONE), an analog of HNE. Moreover, the 7-(2-oxo-heptyl)-substituted 1,N2-etheno-type ONE-2'-deoxynucleoside adducts were identified as alternative epitopes of R310. Molecular mimicry between the R-HNE-histidine configurational isomers and the ONE-DNA base adducts is proposed for the dual crossreactivity.

(要約): Oxidative deamination by various polyphenolic compounds is presumed to be due to the oxidative conversion of polyphenols to the corresponding quinones through autoxidation. Here we examined the oxidative deamination by the polyphenol-rich beverages green tea, black tea, and coffee at a physiological pH and temperature. Green tea, black tea, and coffee extracts oxidatively deaminated benzylamine and the lysine residues of bovine serum albumin to benzaldehyde and alpha-aminoadipic delta-semialdehyde residues, respectively, in sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) at 37 degrees C in both the presence and absence of Cu2+, indicating the occurrence of an amine (lysyl) oxidase-like reaction. We also examined the effects of pH and metal ions on the reaction. The possible biological effects of drinking polyphenol-rich beverages on human are also discussed.

Formation of alpha-aminoadipic and gamma-glutamic semialdehydes in proteins by the Maillard reaction,
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Vol.1043, 129-134, 2005.

(要約): Recent research has demonstrated that nonenzymatic glycation (the Maillard reaction) lead to the formation of carbonyl groups and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in proteins. Such oxidative modifications are a major contributing factor to diabetic complications and aging. alpha-Aminoadipic semialdehyde (AAS) and gamma-glutamic semialdehyde (GGS) have been identified as the major carbonyl products in oxidized proteins both in vitro and in vivo. AAS is an oxidative deamination product of lysine residue, while GGS originates from arginine and proline residues. To evaluate oxidative damage to proteins by the Maillard reaction, we developed a method of detecting AAS and GGS by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The aldehydic residues in proteins were derivatized by reductive amination with NaCNBH3 and p-aminobenzoic acid (ABA), a fluorescence regent. After acid hydrolysis of the ABA-derivatized protein, ABA-AAS and ABA-GGS were measured by fluorometric HPLC. Thus, AAS and GGS could be detected in various proteins such as human plasma protein using the present method. Accumulation of both aldehydic residues was observed in oxidized proteins by reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, AAS and GGS were markedly formed in the incubation of BSA with ascorbic acid. The formation of both aldehydic residues was also observed in the incubation of BSA with 100 mM glucose or 1.0 mM methylglyoxal in the absence and presence of 100 microM Fe3+ for 2 weeks. These results suggest that the Maillard reaction can contribute to the formation of AAS and GGS in vivo.

Production of hydrogen peroxide by polyphenols and polyphenol-rich beverages under quasi-physiological conditions.,
Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, Vol.67, No.12, 2632-2640, 2003.

(要約): To investigate the ability of the production of H(2)O(2) by polyphenols, we incubated various phenolic compounds and natural polyphenols under a quasi-physiological pH and temperature (pH 7.4, 37 degrees C), and then measured the formation of H(2)O(2) by the ferrous ion oxidation-xylenol orange assay. Pyrocatechol, hydroquinone, pyrogallol, 1,2,4-benzenetriol, and polyphenols such as catechins yielded a significant amount of H(2)O(2). We also examined the effects of a metal chelator, pH, and O(2) on the H(2)O(2)-generating property, and the generation of H(2)O(2) by the polyphenol-rich beverages, green tea, black tea, and coffee, was determined. The features of the H(2)O(2)-generating property of green tea, black tea, and coffee were in good agreement with that of phenolic compounds, suggesting that polyphenols are responsible for the generation of H(2)O(2) in beverages. From the results, the possible significances of the H(2)O(2)-generating property of polyphenols for biological systems are discussed.

Oxidative deamination of benzylamine by glycoxidation.,
Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry, Vol.11, No.7, 1411-1417, 2003.

(要約): In the present study, model reactions for the oxidative deamination by glycoxidation using benzylamine were undertaken to elucidate the detail of the reaction. Glucose, 3-deoxyglucosone (3-DG), and methylglyoxal (MG) oxidatively deaminated benzylamine to benzaldehyde in the presence of Cu(2+) at a physiological pH and temperature but not glyoxal. 3-DG and MG were more effective oxidants than glucose. We have determined the effects of metal ions, pH, oxygen, and radical scavengers on the oxidative deamination. The formation of benzaldehyde was greatest with Cu(2+), and was accelerated at a higher pH and in the presence of oxygen. EDTA, catalase, and dimethyl sulfoxide significantly inhibited the oxidation, suggesting the participation of reactive oxygen species. From these results, we propose a mechanism for the oxidative deamination by the Strecker-type reaction and the reactive oxygen species-mediated oxidation during glycoxidation.

Oxidative deamination of lysine residue in plasma protein of diabetic rats. Novel mechanism via the Maillard reaction.,
European Journal of Biochemistry, Vol.269, No.22, 5451-5458, 2002.

(要約): The levels of alpha-aminoadipic-delta-semialdehyde residue, the oxidative deamination product of lysine residue, in plasma protein from streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were evaluated. alpha-Aminoadipic-delta-semialdehyde was converted to a bisphenol derivative by acid hydrolysis in the presence of phenol, and determined by high performance liquid chromatography. Analysis of plasma proteins revealed three times higher levels of alpha-aminoadipic-delta-semialdehyde in diabetic subjects compared with normal controls. Furthermore, we explored the oxidative deamination via the Maillard reaction and demonstrated that the lysine residue of bovine serum albumin is oxidatively deaminated during the incubation with various carbohydrates in the presence of Cu2+ at a physiological pH and temperature. This experiment showed that 3-deoxyglucosone and methylglyoxal are the most efficient oxidants of the lysine residue. When the reaction was initiated from glucose, a significant amount of alpha-aminoadipic-delta-semialdehyde was also formed in the presence of Cu2+. The reaction was significantly inhibited by deoxygenation, catalase, and a hydroxyl radical scavenger. The mechanism we propose for the oxidative deamination is the Strecker-type reaction and the reactive oxygen species-mediated oxidation. Based on these findings, we propose a novel mechanism for the oxidative modification of proteins in diabetes, namely the oxidative deamination of the lysine residue via the Maillard reaction.

Oxidative deamination by hydrogen peroxide in the presence of metals.,
Free Radical Research, Vol.36, No.1, 13-21, 2002.

(要約): Various amines, including lysine residue of bovine serum albumin, were oxidatively deaminated to form the corresponding aldehydes by a H2O2/Cu2+ oxidation system at physiological pH and temperature. The resulting aldehydes were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. We investigated the effects of metal ions, pH, inhibitors, and O2 on the oxidative deamination of benzylamine by H202. The formation of benzaldehyde was the greatest with Cu2+, and catalysis occurred with Co2+, VO2+, and Fe3+. The reaction was greatly accelerated as the pH value rose and was markedly inhibited by EDTA and catalase. Dimethyl sulfoxide and thiourea, which are hydroxyl radical scavengers, were also effective in inhibiting the generation of benzaldehyde, indicating that the reaction is a hydroxyl radical-mediated reaction. Superoxide dismutase greatly stimulated the reaction, probably due to the formation of hydroxyl radicals. O2 was not required in the oxidation, and instead slightly inhibited the reaction. We also examined several oxidation systems. Ascorbic acid/O2/Cu2+ and hemoglobin/H2O2 systems also converted benzylamine to benzaldehyde. The proposed mechanism of the oxidative deamination by H2O2/Cu2+ system is discussed.

Amine oxidase-like activity of polyphenols. Mechanism and properties.,
European Journal of Biochemistry, Vol.268, No.7, 1953-1963, 2001.

(要約): Polyphenols in several oxidation systems gained amine oxidase-like activity, probably due to the formation of the corresponding quinones. In the presence of Cu(II), o- and p-phenolic compounds exhibited amine oxidase-like activity, whereas only the o-phenolic compounds showed the activity in the presence of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical. The activity was determined by measuring the conversion of benzylamine to benzaldehyde by HPLC. Moreover, gallic acid, chlorogenic acid, and caffeic acid, which are plant polyphenols, converted the lysine residue of bovine serum albumin to alpha-amino-adipic semialdehyde residue, indicating lysyl oxidase-like activity. We also characterized the activity of pyrocatechol, hydroquinone, and pyrogallol in the presence of Cu(II). The oxidative deamination was accelerated at a higher pH, and required O2 and transition metal ions. Furthermore, EDTA markedly inhibited the reaction but not beta-aminopropionitrile, which is a specific inhibitor of lysyl oxidase. Catalase significantly inhibited the oxidation, implying the participation of hydroxyl radical in the reaction, but superoxide dismutase stimulated the oxidation, probably due to its radical formation activity. We discussed the mechanism of the oxidative deamination by polyphenols and the possible significance of the activity for biological systems.

Characterization of a model compound for the lysine tyrosylquinone cofactor of lysyl oxidase.,
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, Vol.281, No.1, 193-199, 2001.

(要約): We characterized a model compound for the lysine tyrosylquinone (LTQ) cofactor of lysyl oxidase which is one of the mammalian copper-dependent amine oxidases. The model compound, 4-butylamino-5-methyl-o-quinone, was prepared from n-butylamine and 4-methylcatechol by the oxidation with sodium iodate and characterized by spectroscopic analyses. The absorption maximum at 494 nm is consistent with that of lysyl oxidase. The model compound was capable of deaminating benzylamine to benzaldehyde at 37 degrees C in buffered aqueous acetonitrile. The aldehyde production was markedly elevated in the presence of the Cu(II)-EDTA complex but inhibited by free Cu(II). The catalytic cycle was observed at pH 10 in the presence of Cu(II), and the pH activity profile showed a broad optimum at about pH 9.0. In the presence of beta-aminopropionitrile and upon deoxygenation with N2 aldelyde, production was decreased. The important features of the reaction were consistent with the enzymatic reaction.

Mechanism of formation of elastin crosslinks.,
Connective Tissue Research, Vol.41, No.2, 131-141, 2000.

(要約): We examined the formation of quaternary pyridinium crosslinks of elastin formed by condensation of lysine and allysine residues using the model compounds propanal (allysine) and n-butylamine (lysine) under quasi-physiological conditions. The resulting pyridinium compounds were characterized and the structure compared with the known pyridinium crosslinks. Three pyridinium compounds were identified and the structures were identical with the skeleton of the crosslinking amino acids, desmosine (DES), isodesmosine (IDE), and pentasine. We concluded that a non-enzymatic pathway is available for the spontaneous generation of pyridinium crosslinks. To elucidate the intermediates and the mechanism of the formation of DES and IDE, we synthesized model intermediates from propanal and n-butylamine, and they were allowed to react in three kinds of solvents. Then, the products were analyzed by an ion-pair reverse-phase HPLC. The results of this model system indicated that DES and IDE can be formed by condensation of dehydromerodesmosine with dehydrolysinonorleucine and by condensation of allysine with dehydrolysinonorleucine, respectively. We also describe the mechanism of DES and IDE crosslinking.

Cyclopentenosine, major trifunctional crosslinking amino acid isolated from acid hydrolysate of elastin.,
Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, Vol.372, No.1, 112-120, 1999.

(要約): A trifunctional crosslinking amino acid named cyclopentenosine (CP) was isolated from the hydrolysate of bovine nuchal ligament elastin. CP and its derivatives were identified by spectroscopic methods. CP was found to consist of a 2-cyclopenten-1-one structure and its imine-enamine tautomers with enantiomers in H(2)O. A model reaction for the formation of the CP crosslink using model compounds for allysine (propanal) and lysine (n-butylamine) demonstrated that CP is composed of 2-cyclopenten-1-one and alpha, beta, gamma, delta-unsaturated aldehyde derived from three allysine residues. An ion-paired high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of CP was developed. Among various bovine tissues the nuchal ligament had the highest concentration of CP. The age-related changes in the concentration of CP were examined in the aorta from rat (short-lived species) and bovine (long-lived species). The CP content was very low in the newborn rat but increased markedly with growth. After maturity, the CP content remained nearly the same or slightly decreased. In bovine aorta, the CP content scarcely changed from 7 months to 16 years.

Lysyl oxidase coupled with catalase in egg shell membrane.,
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, Vol.1434, No.1, 151-160, 1999.

(要約): The activity of lysyl oxidase was found in egg shell membrane (ESM) of hens. The activity was determined by measuring the enzymatic conversion of n-butylamine and Nalpha-acetyl-L-lysine to n-butyraldehyde and Nalpha-acetyl-L-allysine, respectively. ESM lysyl oxidase was significantly inhibited by beta-aminopropionitrile, chelating agents, and deoxygenation, consistent with the known properties of lysyl oxidase. Nevertheless, ESM lysyl oxidase was insoluble in urea solution, suggesting that it complexes with ESM. These findings support previous reports indicating the presence of lysine-derived cross-links in ESM and the necessity of lysyl oxidase located in the isthmus of the hen oviduct for the biosynthesis of ESM. Lysyl oxidase secreted around the egg white from the isthmus may initiate the cross-linking reaction of ESM protein, and remain as the constituent of ESM. Moreover, the H(2)O(2) released by lysyl oxidase in ESM was completely decomposed by coexisting catalase activity. ESM lysyl oxidase activity was greatly elevated in the presence of H(2)O(2), probably due to the O(2) produced by catalase. These findings indicate that lysyl oxidase is coupled with catalase in ESM. This coupling enzyme system was considered to be involved in the biosynthesis of ESM and to protect the embryo against H(2)O(2).
