Enzymes catalysing conjugations of glutathione with alpha-beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds.

ABSTRACT: 1. Heat-inactivation experiments, ammonium sulphate-fractionation studies, enzyme-inhibition studies with S-(alphabeta-diethoxycarbonylethyl)glutathione, and evidence from the distribution of activities in rat liver, in rat kidney and in the livers of other animals, indicate that reactions of glutathione with (i) trans-benzylideneacetone, (ii) cyclohex-2-en-1-one, (iii) trans-cinnamaldehyde, (iv) diethyl maleate, (v) diethyl fumarate and (vi) 2,3-dimethyl-4-(2-methylenebutyryl)phenoxyacetic acid are catalysed by different enzymes. 2. Evidence is presented that the enzymes catalysing the reactions of glutathione with substrates (i)-(iv) are different from glutathione S-alkyltransferase, S-aryltransferase and S-epoxidetransferase. 3. The name ;glutathione S-alkenetransferases' is proposed for enzymes catalysing reactions of glutathione with alphabeta-unsaturated compounds. 4. The Arrenhius plot for the enzyme-catalysed reaction of diethyl maleate with glutathione is discontinuous, with lower energy of activation at 38 degrees .

Distribution of enzymes that catalyse reactions of glutathione with alpha beta-unsaturated compounds.

Project description:1. A study of the distribution of glutathione S-alkenetransferases in the livers of vertebrate species suggests that different enzymes may catalyse reactions of GSH with (i) trans-benzylideneacetone, (ii) 2,3-dimethyl-4(2-methylenebutyryl)phenoxyacetic acid, (iii) cinnamonitrile, (iv) o-chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile, (v) methyl vinyl sulphone, and (vi) 3-(beta-nitrovinyl)indole. 2. Glutathione S-alkenetransferase activity was generally greatest in rat liver, but the enzyme in hamster liver was more active towards o-chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile, and the enzyme in rabbit, hamster, guinea-pig and mouse livers was more active towards methyl vinyl sulphone. 3. Results from studies of the distribution of activities in rat liver and rat kidney, heat inactivation of rat liver supernatants, and (NH(4))(2)SO(4) fractionation and acid-precipitation experiments, differentiated further between some of the enzymes concerned with substrates (i)-(vi). 4. The infrequent detection of mercapturic acids in vivo is discussed.

Regioselective radical α-borylation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds for direct synthesis of α-borylcarbonyl molecules.

Project description:Organoboron compounds are highly valuable in synthetic chemistry. In particular, α-borylcarbonyl compounds have shown versatile synthetic applications, owing to fruitful chemistries of both the boryl and carbonyl moieties. However, the synthesis of these molecules still remains tedious and time-consuming. Here we report a straightforward and practical route to synthesize α-borylcarbonyl molecules based on a regioselective radical α-borylation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. The reaction features unusual α-regioselectivity and high functional-group compatibility. Further synthetic applications of new α-borylated products were also demonstrated. DFT and kinetic studies implicated that the α-regioselectivity of β-aryl-α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds was determined by the thermodynamically more favorable radical α-addition step, whereas the formation of α-addition products from β-alkyl-α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds was driven by an energetically favored hydrogen atom transfer step. Given that α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds can be easily obtained in abundance and variety, this method enjoys great advantages in diverse and economical synthesis of valuable α-borylcarbonyl molecules.

A borane-mediated palladium-catalyzed reductive allylic alkylation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds.

Project description:The development of the palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation of in situ generated boron enolates via tandem 1,4-hydroboration is reported. Investigation of the reaction revealed insights into specific catalyst electronic features as well as a profound leaving group effect that proved crucial for achieving efficient allylic alkylation of ester enolates at room temperature and ultimately a highly preparatively useful synthesis of notoriously challenging acyclic all-carbon quaternary stereocenters. The method demonstrates boron enolates as viable pro-nucleophiles in transition-metal catalyzed allylic alkylation, potentially opening up further transformations outside their traditional use.

Mechanistic study of the reaction of thiol-containing enzymes with alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl substrates by computation and chemoassays.

Project description:We investigated the reactions between substituted alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds (Michael systems) and thiols by computations as well as chemoassays. The results give insight into variations in the underlying mechanisms as a function of the substitution pattern. This is of interest for the mechanisms of inhibition of the SARS coronavirus main protease (SARS-CoV M(pro)) by etacrynic acid derivatives as well as for the excess toxicity of substituted alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. This study compares possible reaction courses including 1,4-addition followed by a ketonization step, and underscores the importance of a base-catalyzed step for the reactivity of thiol groups in enzymes. Phenyl and methyl substituents at the Michael system decrease the reactivity of the electrophilic compound, but chlorophenyl substituents partly recover the reactivity. Computations also indicate that electron-pushing substituents lead to a change in the reaction mechanism. The conformation of the Michael system is also found to significantly influence reactivity: the s-cis conformation leads to higher reactivity than the s-trans conformation. The computed data explain the trends in measured inhibition potencies of substituted alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds and of reaction rates in chemical assays. They also indicate that the reversibility of inhibition does not stand in contrast to the formation of a new covalent bond between inhibitor and protease.

Cloning and heterologous expression of cDNA encoding class alpha rat glutathione transferase 8-8, an enzyme with high catalytic activity towards genotoxic alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds.

Project description:A cDNA clone, lambda GTRA8, encoding rat glutathione transferase subunit 8 has been isolated from a lambda gt10 rat hepatoma cDNA library. The previously known amino acid sequence of the enzyme was used to design primers for a polymerase chain reaction that yielded a 0.3 kb DNA fragment from the hepatoma library. The 0.3 kb fragment was used as a probe for screening and a 0.9 kb cDNA clone containing a complete open reading frame was obtained. After DNA sequencing and subcloning into an expression vector, the enzyme was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified. Specific activities and kcat./Km values were determined for a number of substrates, including alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. The highest activity was obtained with 4-hydroxyalkenals and with acrolein, genotoxic products of lipid peroxidation. In addition, the rat class Alpha glutathione transferase 8-8 displays high catalytic activity in the reaction between glutathione and the diuretic drug ethacrynic acid, a compound normally considered as a substrate characteristic for class Pi glutathione transferases.

Dynamic thiol exchange with ?-sulfido-?,?-unsaturated carbonyl compounds and dithianes.

Project description:A reversible covalent bond exchange of thiols, ?-sulfido-?,?-unsaturated carbonyls, and dithianes has been studied in DMSO and D(2)O/DMSO mixtures. The equilibrium between thiols and ?-sulfido-?,?-unsaturated carbonyls is obtained within a few hours, while the equilibration starting with the ?-dithiane carbonyls and thiols requires a few days. This time scale makes the system ideal for utilization in dynamic combinatorial chemistry.

Covalent Labeling with an α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyl Scaffold for Studying Protein Structure and Interactions by Mass Spectrometry.

Project description:A new covalent labeling (CL) reagent based on an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl scaffold has been developed for studying protein structure and protein-protein interactions when coupled with mass spectrometry. We show that this new reagent scaffold can react with up to 13 different types of residues on protein surfaces, thereby providing excellent structural resolution. To illustrate the value of this reagent scaffold, it is used to identify the residues involved in the protein-protein interface that is formed upon Zn(II) binding to the protein β-2-microglobulin. The modular design of the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl scaffold allows facile variation of the functional groups, enabling labeling kinetics and selectivity to be tuned. Moreover, by introducing isotopically enriched functional groups into the reagent structure, labeling sites can be more easily identified by MS and MS/MS. Overall, this reagent scaffold should be a valuable CL reagent for protein higher order structure characterization by MS.
