چکیده

Glutathione disulfide (GSSG) accumulates in cells under an increased oxidant load, which occurs during neurohormonal or metabolic stimulation as well as in many disease states. Elevated GSSG promotes protein S-glutathiolation, a reversible post-translational modification, which can directly alter or regulate protein function. We developed novel strategies for the study of protein S-glutathiolation that involved the simple synthesis of N,N-biotinyl glutathione disulfide (biotin-GSSG). Biotin-GSSG treatment of cells mimics a defined component of oxidative stress, namely a shift in the glutathione redox couple to the oxidized disulfide state. This induces widespread protein S-glutathiolation, which was detected on non-reducing Western blots probed with streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase and imaged using confocal fluorescence microscopy and ExtrAvidin-FITC. S-Glutathiolated proteins were purified using streptavidin-agarose and identified using proteomic methods. We conclude that biotin-GSSG is a useful tool in the investigation of protein S-glutathiolation and offers significant advantages over conventional methods or antibody-based strategies. These novel approaches may find widespread utility in the study of disease or redox signaling models where GSSG accumulation occurs.

The Cysteine-Rich Protein Thimet Oligopeptidase as a Model of the Structural Requirements for S-glutathiolation and Oxidative Oligomerization

Thimet oligopeptidase (EP24.15) is a cysteine-rich metallopeptidase containing fifteen Cys residues and no intra-protein disulfide bonds. Previous work on this enzyme revealed that the oxidative oligomerization of EP24.15 is triggered by S-glutathiolation at physiological GSSG levels (10-50 µM) via a mechanism based on thiol-disulfide exchange. In the present work, our aim was to identify EP24....

Modifications of human βA1/βA3-crystallins include S-methylation, glutathiolation, and truncation

Disulfide bonding of lens crystallins contributes to the aggregation and insolubilization of these proteins that leads to cataract. A high concentration of reduced glutathione is believed to be key in preventing oxidation of crystallin sulfhydryls to form disulfide bonds. This protective role is decreased in aged lenses because of lower glutathione levels, especially in the nucleus. We recently...

Reversible glutathiolation of caspase-3 by glutaredoxin as a novel redox signaling mechanism in tumor necrosis factor-alpha-induced cell death.

Atherosclerosis and hypertension are cardiovascular diseases that cause distinctive functional and structural changes in the vasculature. These pathological events have been intimately linked to modified cellular behavior in the vessel wall. Cell growth, endothelial apoptosis, smooth muscle migration, inflammation, fibrosis and matrix regulation are all known to contribute to plaque development...

S-glutathiolation of p21ras by peroxynitrite mediates endothelial insulin resistance caused by oxidized low-density lipoprotein.

OBJECTIVE To understand the mechanism by which oxidants are linked to insulin resistance, bovine aortic endothelial cells were exposed to oxidized low-density lipoproteins (oxLDL) or peroxynitrite. METHODS AND RESULTS OxLDL transiently increased phosphorylation of Erk and Akt within 5 minutes, but 60 minutes later, resulted in decreased insulin-induced Akt phosphorylation. OxLDL promoted a 2-...
