EDTA inhibits the formation of I3- from iodide catalysed by various pure peroxidases. The inhibition is concentration-dependent and chloroperoxidase (CPO) is more sensitive than horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and lactoperoxidase (LPO). EDTA is more active than EGTA or other biological chelators tested. Zn2+, Mn2+ and Co2+ are equally active in reversing the effect of EDTA on both CPO and HRP almost completely, but ineffective in the case of LPO. The effect of EDTA on HRP can be reversed by a higher concentration of iodide but not by H2O2. EDTA causes a hypsochromic change in the absorption of the Soret band of HRP at 402 nm, and iodide can reverse this effect. EDTA can effectively displace radioiodide specifically bound to HRP. It is suggested that EDTA inhibits iodide oxidation by interacting at the iodide binding site of the HRP.

Three Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD-1)-deficient Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants do not grow in 100% O2 in rich medium and require Met and Lys when grown in air (Bilinski, T., Krawiec, Z., Liczmanski, A., and Litwinska, J. (1985) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 130, 533-539). We show herein that medium manganese (II) accumulated by the mutants rescues these O2-sensitive phenotypes; 2 mM medium Mn2+ represented the threshold required for cell growth. The accumulation of Mn2+ was not oxygen-inducible since mutants grown aerobically and anaerobically accumulated the same amount of Mn2+. Mn2+ accumulation is not unique to these mutants since wild type accumulated almost twice as much Mn2+ as did mutant. ESR spectra of the cell extracts and whole cells loaded with Mn2+ were typical of free Mn(II) ion. These spectra could not account quantitatively for the total cellular Mn2+, however. A screen for soluble antioxidant activities in the Mn2+-supplemented cells detected O2- (superoxide) scavenging activity, with no change in catalase or peroxidase activities. This O2- scavenging activity was CN- and heat-resistant. No achromatic bands were revealed in nondenaturing gels of Mn2+- containing cell extracts stained for O2- scavenging activity. The Mn2+-dependent O2- scavenging activity in the cell extracts was quenched by EDTA and dialyzable. More than 60% of both the intracellular Mn2+ and the O2- scavenging activity was removed by 2-h dialysis. Dialyzed cells were not viable in air unless resupplemented with either Met or Mn2+. Although Mn2+ supported the aerobic growth of these mutants, excess Mn2+, which correlated with an elevated O2- scavenging activity, was toxic to both mutant and wild type. The results indicate that free or loosely bound Mn2+ ion protects the mutants against oxygen stress by providing an intracellular, presumably cytosolic, O2- scavenging activity which replaces the absent SOD-1.

Deferoxamine accelerates the autooxidation of iron as measured by the rapid disappearance of Fe2+, the associated appearance of Fe3+, and the uptake of oxygen. Protons are released in the reaction. The formation of H2O2 was detected by the horseradish peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation of scopoletin, and the formation of hydroxyl radicals (OH.) was suggested by the formation of the OH. spin trap adduct (DMPO/OH). with the spin trap 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO) and the generation of the methyl radical adduct on the further addition of dimethyl sulfoxide. (DMPO/OH). adduct formation was inhibited by catalase but not by superoxide dismutase. The oxidant formed converted iodide to a trichloroacetic acid-precipitable form (iodination) and was bactericidal to logarithmic phase Escherichia coli. Both iodination and bactericidal activity was inhibited by catalase and by OH. scavengers, but not by superoxide dismutase. Iodination was optimal in 5 x 10(-4) M acetate buffer, pH 5.0, and when the Fe2+ and deferoxamine concentrations were equimolar at 10(-4) M. Fe2+ could not be replaced by Fe3+, Co2+, Zn2+, Ca2+, Mg2+, or Mn2+, or deferoxamine by EDTA, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, or bathophenanthroline. These findings indicate that Fe2+ and deferoxamine can act as an oxygen radical generating system, which may contribute to its biological effects in vitro and in vivo.

The ability of intact human red cells to scavenge extracellularly generated H2O2 and O2-, and to prevent formation of hydroxyl radicals and hypochlorous acid has been examined. Red cells inhibited oxidation of ferrocytochrome c by H2O2. Cells treated with aminotriazole no longer inhibited, indicating that protection was almost entirely due to intracellular catalase. Contribution by the GSH system was slight, and apparent only with low H2O2 concentrations when catalase was inhibited by aminotriazole. The cells were about a quarter as efficient at inhibiting cytochrome c oxidation as an equivalent concentration of purified catalase. No inhibition of O2(-)-dependent reduction of ferricytochrome c or nitroblue tetrazolium was observed, although extracted red cell superoxide dismutase inhibited nitroblue tetrazolium reduction at one fortieth the concentration of that in the cells. Red cells efficiently inhibited deoxyribose oxidation by hydroxyl radicals generated from H2O2, O2- and Fe(EDTA), and myeloperoxidase-dependent oxidation of methionine to methionine sulfoxide by stimulated neutrophils. Most of the red cell inhibition of hydroxyl radical production, and all the inhibition of methionine oxidation, was prevented by blocking intracellular catalase with aminotriazole. Thus red cells are able to efficiently scavenge H2O2, but not O2-, produced in their environment, and to inhibit formation of hydroxyl radicals and hypochlorous acid. They may therefore have an important role in extracellular antioxidant defense.

Uroporphyrin I, haematoporphyrin and haematoporphyrin derivative had no effect on O2-. generation during oxidation of hypoxanthine by xanthine oxidase and on the formation of hydroxyl radicals (OH.) in the hypoxanthine/xanthine oxidase/Fe3+-EDTA/deoxyribose system. On the other hand, these porphyrins strongly inhibited O2-. formation in a horseradish peroxidase/H2O2/NADPH mixture, whereas they augmented OH. generation in this system after addition of Fe3+-EDTA. Experimental evidence suggests that these observations should be ascribed to the formation of a porphyrin anion radical in the horseradish peroxidase/NADPH system. The formation of this anion radical was confirmed by e.s.r. spectroscopy. This radical is apparently unable to reduce cytochrome c, but it can replace O2-. in the OH.-generating Haber-Weiss reaction.

Concanavalin A (Con A) was immobilized via metal interactions on macroporous, microparticulate silica support having covalently bound iminodiacetic acid functions (IDA-silica) chelated with Cu(II) at the surface. The amount of copper and of Con A in the column could readily be controlled by the conditions used for chelating the metal by IDA-silica and for immobilization of the lectin. The retention behavior of columns packed with the stationary phase did not change under a wide range of elution conditions, indicating no loss of immobilized lectin. However, the Con A proper could readily be removed from the column at pH 3.0 or together with Cu(II) by perfusion with EDTA at neutral pH. Columns containing Con A immobilized by this technique exhibited dual retention behavior for proteins, glycoproteins, and carbohydrates according to the pertinent glycan-lectin or protein-metal interactions. The glycoproteins, peroxidase and alpha 1-acid glycoprotein, were retained by the Con A moiety and eluted with eluents containing competing sugars, whereas the proteins, beta-lactoglobulin, alpha-chymotrypsinogen A, and ribonuclease A and B were retained by the chelated copper and were eluted and separated with eluents containing sodium chloride or borate. Binding constants of glycosides on the immobilized Con A were evaluated chromatographically and found to be one-third to two-thirds those reported in the literature on the basis of experiments in free solution.

We performed an investigation at the ultrastructural level of the differential distribution of lectin-binding sites among sinusoidal, lateral, and bile canalicular domains of adult rat hepatocytes. Lectin binding to hepatocyte glycocalices was studied in situ or after cellular dissociation by enzymatic (collagenase), chemical (EDTA), and mechanical methods, as well as during cell culture. Using thirteen biotinylated lectins and an avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex (ABC), we have identified lectin-binding sites that are predominantly localized in the bile canalicular [Ricinus communis agglutinin (RCA)] or sinusoidal [Phaseolus vulgaris (PHA)] domains in situ and in mechanically dissociated cells. Lens culinaris (LCA) staining was prominent on sinusoidal surfaces, slight along lateral surfaces, and completely absent in the bile canalicular domain. Concanavalin A (ConA) was unique in binding equally to all domains. Triticum vulgaris [wheat germ agglutinin (WGA)] was also bound to all domains, but most intensely to the bile canalicular region. Cells dissociated via collagenase or EDTA treatment exhibited a spherical morphology characterized by many surface microvilli and absence of morphological domains. Lectin binding to dissociated cells was uniformly distributed over the entire cell surface, suggesting a redistribution of lectin receptors that was independent of the separation procedure. Hepatocytes in culture exhibited a partial restoration of morphological domains, but lectin binding polarity was not re-established.

The oxidation of 2-keto-4-thiomethyl butyric acid (KTBA) and methionine to ethylene has been used to evaluate generation of ferryl species or hydroxyl radicals by H2O2-activated haemproteins or free ferric ions. Hydrogen peroxide was generated by a glucose oxidase-glucose system at a rate of 1 microM/min. Free ferric in the presence of H2O2 oxidizes KTBA, and this was highly inhibited by hydroxyl radical scavengers, caeruloplasmin, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and EDTA. However, when metmyoglobin, methaemoglobin (MtHb) or horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were tested in the same model system, hydroxyl radical scavengers suppressed partially KTBA oxidation and caeruloplasmin, SOD and EDTA failed to inhibit the reaction. Cytochrome-c was found to be a weak promoter of KTBA oxidation in the presence of H2O2. Methionine was oxidized to ethylene by an active system which generates hydroxyl radicals, but not by H2O2-activated metmyoglobin. Ferric ions chelated to membranes or ADP in the presence of H2O2 generated enzymatically, initiated membranal lipid peroxidation only in the presence of ascorbic acid, and this was inhibited by EDTA. In contrast, metmyoglobin and methaemoglobin activated by H2O2 generated by the same system, initiated membranal lipid peroxidation and this was not inhibited by EDTA. It is concluded that ferryl and not HO. is the main oxidant in systems containing myoglobin and haemoglobin activated by low concentrations of H2O2.

Previous studies have shown that several mixed-function oxidation (MFO) systems are capable of catalyzing the inactivation of glutamine synthetase (GS) [R.L. Levine, C. N. Oliver, R. M. Fulks, and E. R. Stadtman (1978) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 78, 2120-2124] and a number of the other enzymes [L. Fucci, C. N. Oliver, M. J. Coon, and E. R. Stadtman (1983) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 80, 1521-1525]. It has now been found that in the presence of Fe(III), O2, and an appropriate electron donor (hypoxanthine or NADPH, respectively) glutamine synthetase is also inactivated by either milk xanthine oxidase or Clostridial nicotinate hydroxylase. Inactivation of glutamine synthetase by either of these flavoproteins is greatly stimulated by the presence of electron carrier proteins possessing nonheme-iron-sulfur (NHIS) clusters (i.e., ferredoxin or putidaredoxin) or by the presence of menadione. The inactivation reactions are partially inhibited by free radical scavengers, superoxide dismutase, (SOD), histidine, mannitol, dimethyl sulfoxide, and dimethylthiourea, and are inhibited completely by either Mn(II), EDTA, or catalase. The sensitivity to SOD inhibition is greatly suppressed when the xanthine oxidase system is supplemented with either ferredoxin or redoxin. In the presence of the latter NHIS-proteins (and only when they are present), MFO systems, comprised of either horseradish peroxidase and H2O2 or glucose oxidase, O2, and glucose, can also catalyze the inactivation of GS. The ability of ferredoxin and putidaredoxin to promote oxidation modification of GS by any one of these MFO systems suggests that proteins with NHIS centers may mediate the generation (or stabilization) of highly reactive radical intermediates.

Human stratum corneum was extracted in Tris-HCl containing EDTA and phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, separated on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, transblotted to nitrocellulose papers and reacted with rabbit antihuman epidermal transglutaminase (ETG) antibody. Protein-bound antibody was detected with a multistep peroxidase procedure. Proteins with a molecular weight of 50,000 (50kDa) and 72,000 daltons (72kDa) were stained when anti-ETG was used and not when second antibody alone or sera from nonimmunized animals were used. When ETG was treated with trypsin or organic solvents, there was no alteration in the mobility of the 50kDa ETG band, but there was complete disappearance of the 72kDa band. Antibody that bound 72kDa protein, when eluted from the blot, reacted with both 50kDa and 72kDa proteins; similarly, antibody that bound to the 50kDa protein, when eluted from the blot, reacted with both the 50kDa and 72kDa proteins. Partially purified 72kDa ETG activity was increased (3 to 16 times control levels) after heating at 56 degrees C in the presence of calcium and dithiothreitol or by treatment with trypsin. These studies, in conjunction with the previous studies of ETG activation, are consistent with there being two forms of ETG. The different forms may play a role in regulating enzyme activity.
