Oxygen binding and nitric oxide dioxygenase activity of cytoglobin are altered to different extents by cysteine modification.

ABSTRACT: Cytoglobin (Cygb), like other members of the globin family, is a nitric oxide (NO) dioxygenase, metabolizing NO in an oxygen (O₂)-dependent manner. We examined the effect of modification of cysteine sulfhydryl groups of Cygb on its O₂ binding and NO dioxygenase activity. The two cysteine sulfhydryls of Cygb were modified to form either an intramolecular disulfide bond (Cygb_SS), thioether bonds to N-ethylmaleimide (NEM; Cygb_SC), or were maintained as free SH groups (Cygb_SH). It was observed that the NO dioxygenase activity of Cygb only slightly changed (~ 25%) while the P₅₀ of O₂ binding to Cygb changed over four-fold with these modifications. Our results suggest that it is possible to separately regulate one Cygb function (such as O₂ binding) without largely affecting the other Cygb functions (such as its NO dioxygenase activity).

Nitric-oxide dioxygenase function of human cytoglobin with cellular reductants and in rat hepatocytes.

Project description:Cytoglobin (Cygb) was investigated for its capacity to function as a NO dioxygenase (NOD) in vitro and in hepatocytes. Ascorbate and cytochrome b(5) were found to support a high NOD activity. Cygb-NOD activity shows respective K(m) values for ascorbate, cytochrome b(5), NO, and O(2) of 0.25 mm, 0.3 microm, 40 nm, and approximately 20 microm and achieves a k(cat) of 0.5 s(-1). Ascorbate and cytochrome b(5) reduce the oxidized Cygb-NOD intermediate with apparent second order rate constants of 1000 m(-1) s(-1) and 3 x 10(6) m(-1) s(-1), respectively. In rat hepatocytes engineered to express human Cygb, Cygb-NOD activity shows a similar k(cat) of 1.2 s(-1), a K(m)(NO) of 40 nm, and a k(cat)/K(m)(NO) (k'(NOD)) value of 3 x 10(7) m(-1) s(-1), demonstrating the efficiency of catalysis. NO inhibits the activity at [NO]/[O(2)] ratios >1:500 and limits catalytic turnover. The activity is competitively inhibited by CO, is slowly inactivated by cyanide, and is distinct from the microsomal NOD activity. Cygb-NOD provides protection to the NO-sensitive aconitase. The results define the NOD function of Cygb and demonstrate roles for ascorbate and cytochrome b(5) as reductants.

Regulation of Nitric Oxide Metabolism and Vascular Tone by Cytoglobin.

Project description:Significance: Cytoglobin (Cygb) was discovered as a new addition to the globin superfamily and subsequently identified to have potent nitric oxide (NO) dioxygenase function. Cygb plays a critical role in the oxygen-dependent regulation of NO levels and vascular tone. Recent Advances: In recent years, the mechanism of the Cygb-mediated NO dioxygenation has been studied in isolated protein, smooth muscle cell, isolated blood vessel, and in vivo animal model systems. Studies in Cygb-/- mice have demonstrated that Cygb plays a critical role in regulating blood pressure and vascular tone. This review summarizes advances in the knowledge of NO dioxygenation/metabolism regulated by Cygb. Advances in measurement of NO diffusion dynamics across blood vessels and kinetic modeling of Cygb-mediated NO dioxygenation are summarized. The oxygen-dependent regulation of NO degradation by Cygb is also reviewed along with how Cygb paradoxically generates NO from nitrite under anaerobic conditions. The important role of Cygb in the regulation of vascular function and disease is reviewed. Critical Issues: Cygb is a more potent NO dioxygenase (NOD) than previously known globins with structural differences in heme coordination and environment, conferring it with a higher rate of reduction and more rapid process of NO dioxygenation with unique oxygen dependence. Various cellular reducing systems regenerate the catalytic oxyferrous Cygb species, supporting a high rate of NO dioxygenation. Future Directions: There remains a critical need to further characterize the factors and processes that modulate Cygb-mediated NOD function, and to develop pharmacological or other approaches to modulate Cygb function and expression.

Preparation of non-heme {FeNO}7 models of cysteine dioxygenase: sulfur versus nitrogen ligation and photorelease of nitric oxide.

Project description:We present the synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of [Fe(NO)(N3PyS)]BF4 (3), the first structural and electronic model of NO-bound cysteine dioxygenase. The nearly isostructural all-N-donor analogue [Fe(NO)(N4Py)](BF4)2 (4) was also prepared, and comparisons of 3 and 4 provide insight regarding the influence of S vs N ligation in {FeNO}(7) species. One key difference occurs upon photoirradiation, which causes the fully reversible release of NO from 3, but not from 4.

Allostery in the nitric oxide dioxygenase mechanism of flavohemoglobin.

Project description:The substrates O2 and NO cooperatively activate the NO dioxygenase function of Escherichia coli flavohemoglobin. Steady-state and transient kinetic measurements support a structure-based mechanistic model in which O2 and NO movements and conserved amino acids at the E11, G8, E2, E7, B10, and F7 positions within the globin domain control activation. In the cooperative and allosteric mechanism, O2 migrates to the catalytic heme site via a long hydrophobic tunnel and displaces LeuE11 away from the ferric iron, which forces open a short tunnel to the catalytic site gated by the ValG8/IleE15 pair and LeuE11. NO permeates this tunnel and leverages upon the gating side chains triggering the CD loop to furl, which moves the E and F-helices and switches an electron transfer gate formed by LysF7, GlnE7, and water. This allows FADH2 to reduce the ferric iron, which forms the stable ferric-superoxide-TyrB10/GlnE7 complex. This complex reacts with internalized NO with a bimolecular rate constant of 1010 M-1 s-1 forming nitrate, which migrates to the CD loop and unfurls the spring-like structure. To restart the cycle, LeuE11 toggles back to the ferric iron. Actuating electron transfer with O2 and NO movements averts irreversible NO poisoning and reductive inactivation of the enzyme. Together, structure snapshots and kinetic constants provide glimpses of intermediate conformational states, time scales for motion, and associated energies.

Cytoglobin regulates blood pressure and vascular tone through nitric oxide metabolism in the vascular wall.

Project description:The identity of the specific nitric oxide dioxygenase (NOD) that serves as the main in vivo regulator of O2-dependent NO degradation in smooth muscle remains elusive. Cytoglobin (Cygb) is a recently discovered globin expressed in fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells with unknown function. Cygb, coupled with a cellular reducing system, efficiently regulates the rate of NO consumption by metabolizing NO in an O2-dependent manner with decreased NO consumption in physiological hypoxia. Here we show that Cygb is a major regulator of NO degradation and cardiovascular tone. Knockout of Cygb greatly prolongs NO decay, increases vascular relaxation, and lowers blood pressure and systemic vascular resistance. We further demonstrate that downregulation of Cygb prevents angiotensin-mediated hypertension. Thus, Cygb has a critical role in the regulation of vascular tone and disease. We suggest that modulation of the expression and NOD activity of Cygb represents a strategy for the treatment of cardiovascular disease.

Chromium(IV)-peroxo complex formation and its nitric oxide dioxygenase reactivity.

Project description:The O(2) and NO reactivity of a Cr(II) complex bearing a 12-membered tetraazamacrocyclic N-tetramethylated cyclam (TMC) ligand, [Cr(II)(12-TMC)(Cl)](+) (1), and the NO reactivity of its peroxo derivative, [Cr(IV)(12-TMC)(O(2))(Cl)](+) (2), are described. By contrast to the previously reported Cr(III)-superoxo complex, [Cr(III)(14-TMC)(O(2))(Cl)](+), the Cr(IV)-peroxo complex 2 is formed in the reaction of 1 and O(2). Full spectroscopic and X-ray analysis revealed that 2 possesses side-on ?(2)-peroxo ligation. The quantitative reaction of 2 with NO affords a reduction in Cr oxidation state, producing a Cr(III)-nitrato complex, [Cr(III)(12-TMC)(NO(3))(Cl)](+) (3). The latter is suggested to form via a Cr(III)-peroxynitrite intermediate. [Cr(II)(12-TMC)(NO)(Cl)](+) (4), a Cr(II)-nitrosyl complex derived from 1 and NO, could also be synthesized; however, it does not react with O(2).

Endothelial cell-induced cytoglobin expression in vascular smooth muscle cells contributes to modulation of nitric oxide.

Project description:Cytoglobin is a widely expressed heme protein that binds oxygen, carbon monoxide and nitric oxide. Recent examination of cytoglobin in the vasculature indicates that it contributes to nitric oxide availability, which is central to normal blood vessel function through regulation of smooth muscle cell tone and physiological response. Given the potential implications of cytoglobin in vascular function, we examined how cytoglobin might be uniquely regulated in vascular smooth muscle cells. Our data demonstrate that endothelial cells can increase the expression of cytoglobin in vascular smooth muscle cells, and the induction of cytoglobin is cell contact-dependent. We show that Notch signaling is necessary for endothelial cell-induced cytoglobin expression and Notch2 and Notch3 are sufficient to drive its expression in aortic smooth muscle cells. We further reveal that in cytoglobin-depleted smooth muscle cells there is increased cellular nitric oxide. These data demonstrate that, in addition to being the main producer of vascular nitric oxide, endothelial cells facilitate the ability of smooth muscle cells to metabolize nitric oxide through upregulation of cytoglobin. Our results reveal a novel mechanism by which Notch signaling contributes to vascular function through regulation of a gene that controls nitric oxide levels.

An iron-oxygen intermediate formed during the catalytic cycle of cysteine dioxygenase.

Project description:Cysteine dioxygenase is a key enzyme in the breakdown of cysteine, but its mechanism remains controversial. A combination of spectroscopic and computational studies provides the first evidence of a short-lived intermediate in the catalytic cycle. The intermediate decays within 20 ms and has absorption maxima at 500 and 640 nm.

Emerging perspectives on cytoglobin, beyond NO dioxygenase and peroxidase.

Project description:Cytoglobin is an evolutionary ancient hemoglobin with poor functional annotation. Rather than constrained to penta coordination, cytoglobin's heme iron may exist either as a penta or hexacoordinated arrangement when exposed to different intracellular environments. Two cysteine residues at the surface of the protein form an intramolecular disulfide bond that regulates iron coordination, ligand binding, and peroxidase activity. Overall, biochemical results do not support a role for cytoglobin as a direct antioxidant enzyme that scavenges hydrogen peroxide because the rate of the reaction of cytoglobin with hydrogen peroxide is several orders of magnitude slower than metal and thiol-based peroxidases. Thus, alternative substrates such as fatty acids have been suggested and regulation of nitric oxide bioavailability through nitric oxide dioxygenase and nitrite reductase activities has received experimental support. Cytoglobin is broadly expressed in connective, muscle, and nervous tissues. Rational for differential cellular distribution is poorly understood but inducibility in response to hypoxia is one of the most established features of cytoglobin expression with regulation through the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF). Phenotypic characterization of cytoglobin deletion in the mouse have indicated broad changes that include a heightened inflammatory response and fibrosis, increase tumor burden, cardiovascular dysfunction, and hallmarks of senescence. Some of these changes might be reversed upon inhibition of nitric oxide synthase. However, subcellular and molecular interactions have been seldom characterized. In addition, specific molecular mechanisms of action are still lacking. We speculate that cytoglobin functionality will extend beyond nitric oxide handling and will have to encompass indirect regulatory antioxidant and redox sensing functions.

Possible Involvement of Nitric Oxide in Enhanced Liver Injury and Fibrogenesis during Cholestasis in Cytoglobin-deficient Mice.

Project description:This study clarified the role of Cygb, the fourth globin in mammals originally discovered in rat hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), in cholestatic liver disease. Bile duct ligation (BDL) augmented inflammatory reactions as revealed by increased infiltrating neutrophils, CD68+-macrophages, and chemokine expression in Cygb-/- mice. In these mice, impairment of bile canalicular indicated by the loss of CD10 expression, down-regulation of bile salt transporters, increased total bile acid, and massive apoptotic and necrotic hepatocytes occurred with the release of cytochrome c, activation of caspase 3, resulting in reduced animal survival compared to wild-type mice. In Cygb-/- mouse liver, all of NO metabolites and oxidative stress were increased. Treatment with NO inhibitor restrained all above phenotypes and restored CD10 expression in BDL Cygb-/- mice, while administration of NO donor aggravated liver damage in BDL-wild type mice to the same extent of BDL-Cygb-/- mice. N-acetylcysteine administration had a negligible effect in all groups. In mice of BDL for 1-3 weeks, expression of all fibrosis-related markers was significantly increased in Cygb-/- mice compared with wild-type mice. Thus, Cygb deficiency in HSCs enhances hepatocyte damage and inflammation in early phase and fibrosis development in late phase in mice subjected to BDL, presumably via altered NO metabolism.
