The pathophysiological hypothesis of homocysteine thiolactone-mediated vascular disease.
Accumulating evidence suggests that homocysteine (Hcy) metabolite, the thioester Hcy-thiolactone, plays an important role in atherothrombosis. Hcy-thiolactone is a product of an error-editing reaction in protein biosynthesis which forms when Hcy is mistakenly selected by methionyl-tRNA synthetase. The thioester chemistry of Hcy-thiolactone underlies its ability to from isopeptide bonds with pro...
متن کاملCardiovascular Complications in Renal Diseases
Patients with chronic renal disease (CRD) represent an important segment of Tunisian population, and mostly because of the high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) associated with renal insufficiency, detection and treatment of chronic renal disease is now a public health priority (Abderrahim E et al., 2001, Ben Maïz H et al., 2006, Counil E et al., 2008). The increased incidence of CVD is lik...
متن کاملCrosstalk of homocysteinylation, methylation and acetylation on histone H3.
Homocysteine (hcy) is an intermediate metabolite in the metabolic pathway of cysteine and methionine. As a non-coded amino acid, hcy is not normally incorporated into protein. However, homocysteine can be recognized and activated by methionyl-tRNA synthetase (MetRs) to produce Hcy-thiolactone (HTL), which can react with the ε-amino group of a protein lysine residue. The N-hcy-linked protein car...

متن کاملEditing function of Escherichia coli cysteinyl-tRNA synthetase: cyclization of cysteine to cysteine thiolactone.
A cyclic sulfur compound, identified as cysteine thiolactone by several chemical and enzymatic tests, is formed from cysteine during in vitro tRNA(Cys) aminoacylation catalyzed by Escherichia coli cysteinyl-tRNA synthetase. The mechanism of cysteine thiolactone formation involves enzymatic deacylation of Cys-tRNA(Cys) (k = 0.017 s-1) in which nucleophilic sulfur of the side chain of cysteine in...
