Kinetics of One-Electron Oxidation of Thiols and Hydrogen Abstraction by Thiyl Radicals from .alpha.-Amino C-H Bonds
摘要:
One-electron oxidation of cysteine, homocysteine, and glutathione by azide radical in alkaline solution (pH 10.5), where both the amino and the SH groups are deprotonated, has been investigated by pulse radiolysis. Reducing alpha-aminoalkyl radicals ((.)CR), which are formed via intramolecular rearrangement of thiyl radicals, were detected using methylviologen as oxidant in the kinetic analysis. The general scheme of the reactions is sketched. Thiyl radicals either equilibrate with RSSR(.-) in reaction 5, RS(.) + RS(-) = RSSR(.-), or undergo intramolecular transformation via equilibrium 6, RS(.) = (.)CR. At pH 10.5, equilibrium 6 is completely shifted to the right, resulting in alpha-aminoalkyl radical formation. The rate constants in the reaction scheme for cysteine, homocysteine, and glutathione were measured. With the rate constants obtained, the decay kinetics of RSSR(.-) into (.)CR was simulated, and it agreed with that measured at 420 nm. At pH 10.5, the first-order rate constants for the transformation (k(6)) were determined to be 2.5 x 10(4), 1.8 x 10(5) and 2.2 x 10(5) s(-1) for cysteine, homocysteine, and glutathione, respectively. The rate constants for intermolecular hydrogen abstraction by thiyl radicals from alpha-amino C-H bonds of alanine and glycine were determined at the same pH to be 7.7 x 10(5) and 3.2 x 10(5) M(-1) s(-1), respectively. Thermodynamic estimation places the reduction potential E degrees(H2NC(CO2-)CH3)(.), H+/H2NCH(CO2-)CH3) at ca. 1.22 V, which implies a rather weak tertiary C-H bond in the anion of alpha-amino acids. Thus, an intramolecular hydrogen abstraction mechanism for the transformation of thiyl radical to alpha-amino carbon-centered radical is postulated. Molecular geometry plays an important part in deciding the transformation rates (k(6)) of different thiyl radicals.

The reactions of the reversible addition of thiols and thiyl radicals to the nitronespintraps DMPO (5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide) and DEPMPO (5-diethoxyphosphoryl-5-methyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide) are described. Addition of the thiols to the double CN bond of the nitrones results in the formation of the corresponding hydroxylamines, measured using 31P NMR and the phosphorus-containing trap DEPMPO

Alkyl thiyl radicals produced by the homolytic decomposition of thionitrites are detected by ESR spintrapping using 5,5-dimethyl-1-Δ-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO).
α-Chromanoxyl radical formed by the interaction of α-tocopherol (vitamin E) with alkoxyl radical or DPPH was found by electron spin resonance spectroscopy to react with glutathione and vitamin C to regenerate α-tocopherol.

Sulfur-based thiylradicals are known to be involved in a wide range of chemical and biological processes, but they are often highly reactive, which makes them difficult to observe directly. We report herein X-ray absorption spectra and analysis that support the direct observation of two different thiyl species generated photochemically by X-ray irradiation.

study we have reinvestigated this reaction using both experiment and simulation and conclude that: (i) S-nitrosation through radical and nonradical pathways is occurring simultaneously, (ii) S-nitrosation through direct addition of NO to thiol does not occur to any meaningful extent, and (iii) protein hydrophobic environments do not catalyze or enhance S-nitrosation of either themselves or of glutathione
由于 NO、硫醇和氧之间的反应在 NO 依赖性信号转导机制中的重要性,已经在体外进行了一些详细的研究。S-亚硝基硫醇和硫醇二硫化物的形成已被认为是 NO 生物化学的重要组成部分,这种随后的硫醇修饰可能导致细胞功能和表型的变化。在这项研究中,我们使用实验和模拟重新研究了该反应,并得出结论:(i)通过自由基和非自由基途径的 S-亚硝化同时发生,(ii)通过直接将 NO 添加到硫醇中的 S-亚硝化不会发生在任何有意义的程度,以及 (iii) 蛋白质疏水环境不会催化或增强自身或谷胱甘肽的 S-亚硝化。
