Glutathione transferase A4-4 resists adduction by 4-hydroxynonenal.

ABSTRACT: 4-Hydroxy-2-trans-nonenal (HNE) is a lipid peroxidation product that contributes to the pathophysiology of several diseases with components of oxidative stress. The electrophilic nature of HNE results in covalent adduct formation with proteins, fatty acids and DNA. However, it remains unclear whether enzymes that metabolize HNE avoid inactivation by it. Glutathione transferase A4-4 (GST A4-4) plays a significant role in the elimination of HNE by conjugating it with glutathione (GSH), with catalytic activity toward HNE that is dramatically higher than the homologous GST A1-1 or distantly related GSTs. To determine whether enzymes that metabolize HNE resist its covalent adduction, the rates of adduction of these GST isoforms were compared and the functional effects of adduction on catalytic properties were determined. Although GST A4-4 and GST A1-1 have striking structural similarity, GST A4-4 was insensitive to adduction by HNE under conditions that yield modest adduction of GST A1-1 and extensive adduction of GST P1-1. Furthermore, adduction of GST P1-1 by HNE eliminated its activity toward the substrates 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) and toward HNE itself. HNE effects on GST A4-4 and A1-1 were less significant. The results indicate that enzymes that metabolize HNE may have evolved structurally to resist covalent adduction by it.

Project description:The analysis of protein modification by electrophiles is a challenging problem. Most reported protein-electrophile adducts have been characterized from in vitro reactions or through affinity capture of the adduct moiety, which enables global analyses but is poorly suited to targeted studies of specific proteins. We employed a targeted molecular probe approach to study modifications of the molecular chaperone heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90), which regulates diverse client proteins. Noncovalent affinity capture with a biotinyl-geldanamycin probe isolated both isoforms of the native protein (Hsp90α and Hsp90β) from human RKO colorectal cancer cells. Geldanamycin-biotin capture afforded higher purity Hsp90 than did immunoprecipitation and enabled detection of endogenously phosphorylated protein by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). We applied this approach to map and quantify adducts formed on Hsp90 by 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) in RKO cells. LC-MS/MS analyses of tryptic digests by identified His(450) and His(490) of Hsp90α as having a 158 Da modification, corresponding to NaBH(4)-reduced HNE adducts. Five histidine residues were also adducted on Hsp90β: His(171), His(442), His(458), His(625), and His(632). The rates of adduction at these sites were determined with Hsp90 protein in vitro and with Hsp90 in HNE-treated cells with a LC-MS/MS-based, label-free relative quantitation method. During in vitro and cell treatment with HNE, residues on Hsp90α and Hsp90β displayed adduction rates ranging from 3.0 × 10(-5) h(-1) to 1.08 ± 0.17 h(-1). Within the middle client-binding domain of Hsp90α, residue His(450) demonstrated the most rapid adduction with k(obs) of 1.08 ± 0.17 h(-1) in HNE-treated cells. The homologous residue on Hsp90β, His(442), was adducted more rapidly than the N-terminal residue, His(171), despite very similar predicted pK(a) values of both residues. The Hsp90 middle client-binding domain thus may play a signicant role in HNE-mediated disruption of Hsp90-client protein interactions. The results illustrate the utility of a protein-selective affinity capture approach for targeted analysis of electrophile adducts and their biological effects.

Project description:Human glutathione transferase A4-4 (hGSTA4-4) displays high catalytic efficiency towards 4-hydroxyalkenals and other cytotoxic and mutagenic products of radical reactions and lipid peroxidation. Its role as a target for the chemosensitization of cancer cells has not been investigated so far. In this study, the inhibitory potency of twelve selected natural products and ten monocarbonyl curcumin derivatives against hGSTA4-4 was studied. Among natural products, ellagic acid turned out to be the strongest inhibitor with an IC50 value of 0.44 ± 0.01 μM. Kinetic analysis using glutathione (GSH) and 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) as variable substrates showed that ellagic acid behaved as a competitive inhibitor towards both GSH and CDNB, with Ki values of 0.39 ± 0.02 and 0.63 ± 0.03 μM, respectively. Among the curcumin derivatives studied, three proved to be the most potent inhibitors, in the order DM151 > DM101 > DM100, with IC50 values of 2.4 ± 0.1 μM, 12.7 ± 1.1 μΜ and 16.9 ± 0.4 μΜ, respectively. Further kinetic inhibition analysis of the most active derivative, DM151, demonstrated that this compound is a mixed inhibitor towards CDNB with inhibition constants of Ki = 4.1 ± 0.5 μM and Ki' = 0.536 ± 0.034 μM, while it is a competitive inhibitor towards GSH with a Ki = 0.98 ± 0.11 μM. Molecular docking studies were performed to interpret the differences in binding of ellagic acid and curcumin derivatives to hGSTA4-4. The in silico measured docking scores were consistent with the obtained experimental data. Hydrogen bonds appear to be the main contributors to the specific binding of monocarbonyl curcumin derivatives, while π-π stacking interactions play a key role in the enzyme-ellagic acid interaction. In vitro cytotoxicity assessment of the worst (DM148) and the best (DM151) inhibitors was performed against glioblastoma cell lines U-251 MG and U-87 MG. The results revealed that DM151 displays considerably higher cytotoxicity against both glioblastoma cell lines, while the glioblastoma cytotoxicity of DM148 was very limited. Furthermore, low and non-toxic doses of DM151 sensitized U-251 MG cells to the first-line glioblastoma chemotherapeutic temozolomide (TMZ), allowing us to propose for the first time that hGSTA4-4 inhibitors may be attractive therapeutic partners for TMZ to optimize its clinical effect in glioblastoma chemotherapy.
