Reconstitution of Cu2+-depleted bovine serum amine oxidase with Co2+.

ABSTRACT: Two different Cu2+-depleted derivatives of bovine serum amine oxidase (BSAO) have recently been prepared, which contain about 0.5 mol/dimer of phenylhydrazine-reactive topa quinone (TPQ) cofactor and, depending on the reagents used, about 0.2 or 0.7 residual Cu2+/dimer [Agostinelli, De Matteis, Sinibaldi, Mondovi and Morpurgo (1997) Biochem. J. 324, 497-501]. The benzylamine oxidase activity of both derivatives was <5% and increased up to approximately 20% on incorporation of Co2+, irrespective of the residual Cu2+ content, which was unaffected by the treatment according to atomic absorption and ESR spectroscopy. The residual Cu2+ ions appeared to be distributed one per dimer and to be bound to inactive subunits, whereas Co2+ was bound to active subunits. The change in the active site had an appreciable influence on the kinetic behaviour. With several amines, the kinetic parameters, Km and kc, measured for Co2+-BSAO were different from those for native BSAO. This excludes the possibility that the catalytic activity was due to residual Cu2+. Furthermore, Co2+ restored to nearly native level the intensity of the TPQ 480 nm band and the reactions with phenylhydrazine or benzylhydrazine, which had been slowed down or abolished, respectively, in Cu2+-depleted samples. The CD spectrum, measured for the derivative with low Cu2+ content, was compatible with Co2+ binding to the copper site. The amine oxidase activity of the Co2+ derivative, which cannot form a semiquinone radical as an intermediate of the catalytic reaction, strongly suggests that the Cu+-semiquinone is not an obligatory intermediate of BSAO catalytic pathway.

Reactions of the oxidized organic cofactor in copper-depleted bovine serum amine oxidase.

Project description:A novel copper-depleted bovine serum amine oxidase (BSAO), in which about half the molecules contained the organic cofactor in the oxidized form, was prepared by adding a reductant in anaerobic conditions to the cyanide-reacted protein. The CuI-semiquinone formed in these conditions reoxidizes after the removal of copper. The inactive derivative was reduced by benzylamine at approx. 1/1000 the rate of BSAO. The pseudo-first-order reaction was preceded by the formation of a protein-benzylamine complex with dissociation constant, Kd, of 4.9+/-0.5 mM, similar to the Km of BSAO (2.2 mM). Also the reactions with phenylhydrazine and benzohydrazide were considerably slower than in holo-BSAO, whereas the reactions with p-pyridine-2-ylphenylacetohydrazide, containing a longer aromatic tail, and semicarbazide, lacking an aromatic moiety, were less severely affected. Removal of copper had no effect on the optical spectra of BSAO and of most adducts, containing the cofactor in quinol form, showing that copper is bound to neither the oxidized nor the reduced cofactor. Benzylhydrazine did not produce optical effects but was tightly bound, as inferred from its inhibitory effect on reaction with other molecules. Substrate and inhibitors might bind a hydrophobic pocket at some distance from the quinone, probably near the protein surface, with their affinity depending on the hydrophobic character and pKa. The binding, which is not greatly influenced by copper removal, probably induces a copper-dependent change of conformation, 'opening' a pathway to the active site buried in the protein interior.

Autophagy induction by exogenous polyamines is an artifact of bovine serum amine oxidase activity in culture serum.

Project description:Polyamines are small polycationic alkylamines involved in many fundamental cellular processes, including proliferation, nucleic acid synthesis, apoptosis, and protection from oxidative damage. It has been proposed that in addition to these functions, elevated levels of polyamines promote longevity in various biological systems, including yeast, Drosophila, and murine models. A series of in vitro mechanistic studies by multiple investigators has led to the conclusion that addition of exogenous spermidine promotes longevity through autophagy induction; however, these experiments were confounded by the use of mammalian cell culture systems supplemented with fetal bovine serum. Using cell viability assays, LC3B immunoblots, and live-cell fluorescence microscopy, we report here that in the presence of ruminant serum, exogenously added polyamines are quickly oxidized by the copper-containing bovine serum amine oxidase. This polyamine oxidation resulted in the production of harmful byproducts including hydrogen peroxide, ammonia, and reactive aldehydes. Our data demonstrate that it is critically important to prevent confounding bovine serum amine oxidase-induced cytotoxicity in mechanistic studies of the roles of polyamines in autophagy.

Benzylhydrazine as a pseudo-substrate of bovine serum amine oxidase.

Project description:Bovine serum amine oxidase is inhibited by benzylhydrazine (BHy), but recovers full activity after a few hours incubation [Hucko-Haas & Reed (1970) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 38, 396-400]. The first phase of the process, requiring about 15 min, was found to consist of a mechanism-based hydrazine-transfer reaction leading to formation of the hydrazine-bound enzyme, benzaldehyde and H2O2. At variance with the enzymic process, the reaction with O2 preceded the benzaldehyde release. Two reaction intermediates could be characterized by optical spectroscopy and were assigned as the azo derivative and the benzaldehyde hydrazone, the latter one probably being involved in the reaction with O2. No reduction of Cu was detected at any stage. The hydrazine adduct could also be obtained by stoichiometric reaction of hydrazine with the native enzyme. The decay of this species occurred in about 8 h and was not studied in detail. The Cu-binding inhibitor NN-diethyldithiocarbamate affected the BHy reaction by stabilizing the benzaldehyde hydrazone form as against the azo derivative and the reaction with O2. However, under these same conditions the initial spectroscopic properties of the diethyldithiocarbamate adduct were recovered if the oxidase was left overnight. The reaction with O2 was abolished only upon removal of at least one Cu atom from the enzyme. On the basis of the failure to detect any change of Cu redox state and the enzyme behaviour in the presence of inhibitors, a reaction mechanism involving the formation of a hydroperoxy intermediate, as in the FAD-containing enzymes, is tentatively proposed.

Electrostatic control of oxidative deamination catalysed by bovine serum amine oxidase.

Project description:The ionic-strength-dependence of steady-state kinetic parameters (kc and Km') for non-biogenic (benzylamine, butylamine) and biogenic (spermine, spermidine) amines has been measured in the bovine serum amine oxidase reaction. The catalytic rate constant (kc) values are similar (0.9-2.5 s-1) for all the substrates studied and are almost constant over the experimental ionic strength range (24-155 mM). In contrast, Km' values are in the range 6-2300 microM and undergo a 4-12-fold increase with increasing ionic strength, parallelled by a decrease in catalytic efficiency. From an analysis of the kc and Km' values and their dependence on ionic strength, we conclude that more than one negative site is involved in the binding of these amines and that the relative dielectric constant of the binding site is lower than that of aqueous solutions.

Acidic Shift of Optimum pH of Bovine Serum Amine Oxidase upon Immobilization onto Nanostructured Ferric Tannates.

Project description:Protein-nanoparticle hybrids represent entities characterized by emerging biological properties that can significantly differ from those of the parent components. Herein, bovine serum amine oxidase (i.e., BSAO) was immobilized onto a magnetic nanomaterial constituted of surface active maghemite nanoparticles (i.e., SAMNs, the core), surface-modified with tannic acid (i.e., TA, the shell), to produce a biologically active ternary hybrid (i.e., SAMN@TA@BSAO). In comparison with the native enzyme, the secondary structure of the immobilized BSAO responded to pH variations sensitively, resulting in a shift of its optimum activity from pH 7.2 to 5.0. Conversely, the native enzyme structure was not influenced by pH and its activity was affected at pH 5.0, i.e., in correspondence with the best performances of SAMN@TA@BSAO. Thus, an extensive NMR study was dedicated to the structure-function relationship of native BSAO, confirming that its low activity below pH 6.0 was ascribable to minimal structural modifications not detected by circular dichroism. The generation of cytotoxic products, such as aldehydes and H2O2, by the catalytic activity of SAMN@TA@BSAO on polyamine oxidation is envisaged as smart nanotherapy for tumor cells. The present study supports protein-nanoparticle conjugation as a key for the modulation of biological functions.

Electrostatic compared with hydrophobic interactions between bovine serum amine oxidase and its substrates.

Project description:A steady-state kinetic study of bovine serum amine oxidase activity was performed, over a wide range of pH values (5.4-10.2) and ionic strength (10-200 mM), using various (physiological and analogue) substrates as specific probes of the active-site binding region. Relatively small changes in k (cat) values (approx. one order of magnitude) accompanied by marked changes in K(m) and k(cat)/K(m) values (approx. six orders of magnitude) were observed. This behaviour was correlated with the presence of positively charged groups or apolar chains in the substrates. In particular, it was found that the docking of the physiological polyamines, i.e. spermidine and spermine, appears to be modulated by three amino acid residues of the active site, which we have named L(-)H(+), G(-)H(+) and IH(+), characterized by p K (a) values of 6.2+/-0.2 [Di Paolo, Scarpa, Corazza, Stevanato and Rigo (2002) Biophys. J. 83, 2231-2239], 8.2+/-0.3 and 7.8+/-0.4 respectively. The electrostatic interaction between the protonated substrates and the enzyme containing the residues L(-)H(+), G(-)H(+) and IH(+) in the deprotonated form, the on/off role of the IH(+) residue and the role of hydrophobic interactions with substrates characterized by apolar chains are discussed.

Reactions of bovine serum amine oxidase with NN-diethyldithiocarbamate. Selective removal of one copper ion.

Project description:NN-Diethyldithiocarbamate (DDC) was able to bind, at 1.0 mM concentration, only about 50% the Cu(II) ions of bovine plasma amine oxidase. Under reducing conditions, this Cu(II) was removed with inactivation of the enzyme. Up to 90% activity could be recovered by treatment with excess Cu(II). The organic cofactor, sensitive to carbonyl reagents, was reduced in the half-Cu-depleted protein and no longer bound phenylhydrazine. The fully reacted protein, in the presence of 10 mM-DDC, lost 50% Cu(II) upon storage at -20 degrees C, but in this case the residual Cu(II) was in the DDC-bound form and the cofactor was in the oxidized state, as it could still bind phenylhydrazine. In the presence of DDC, the rate of reaction with phenylhydrazine was always low, even at 50% DDC saturation, and all derivatives showed identical modifications of the optical and e.p.r. spectra with respect to the phenylhydrazone of the native protein. It is concluded that the two Cu(II) ions are not equivalent, that removal of a single Cu(II) is sufficient to inhibit the re-oxidation of the organic cofactor, and that both Cu(II) ions are in some way involved in the reaction with phenylhydrazine. After reaction with DDC, the optical and e.p.r. spectra of 63Cu(II)-amine oxidase and of 63Cu(II)-carbonic anhydrase [Morpurgo, Desideri, Rigo, Viglino & Rotilio (1983) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 746, 168-175] are very similar and show distorted equatorial co-ordination to Cu(II) of two sulphur atoms and two magnetically equivalent nitrogen atoms.

Fetal Bovine Serum-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Persist within Vesicle-Depleted Culture Media.

Project description:It is known that culture media (CM) promotes cellular growth, adhesion, and protects explanted primary brain cells from in vitro stresses. The fetal bovine serum (FBS) supplement used in most CM, however, contains significant quantities of extracellular vesicles (EVs) that confound quantitative and qualitative analyses from the EVs produced by the cultured cells. We quantitatively tested the ability of common FBS EV-depletion protocols to remove exogenous EVs from FBS-supplemented CM and evaluated the influence such methods have on primary astrocyte culture growth and viability. We assessed two methodologies utilized for FBS EV removal prior to adding to CM: (1) an 18-h ultracentrifugation (UC); and (2) a commercial EV-depleted FBS (Exo-FBS™). Our analysis demonstrated that Exo-FBS™ CM provided the largest depletion (75%) of total FBS EVs, while still providing 6.92 × 10⁸ ± 1.39 × 10⁸ EVs/mL. In addition, both UC and Exo-FBS™ CM resulted in poor primary astrocyte cell growth and viability in culture. The two common FBS EV-depletion methods investigated, therefore, not only contaminate in vitro primary cell-derived EV analyses, but also provide a suboptimal environment for primary astrocyte cell growth and viability. It appears likely that future CM optimization, using a serum-free alternative, might be required to advance analyses of cell-specific EVs isolated in vitro.

Spectroscopic studies of the reaction between bovine serum amine oxidase (copper-containing) and some hydrazides and hydrazines.

Project description:The carbonyl cofactor of bovine serum amine oxidase, recently identified as pyrroloquinoline quinone [Ameyama, Hayashi, Matsushita, Shinagawa & Adachi (1984) Agric. Biol. Chem. 48, 561-565; Lobenstein-Verbeek, Jongejan, Frank & Duine (1984) FEBS Lett. 170, 305-309], reacts stoichiometrically and irreversibly with hydrazides of phenylacetic acid and of benzoic acid. With the phenylacetic hydrazides a reversible intermediate step was detected by competition with substrate, carbonylic reagents or phenylhydrazine, a typical inhibitor of the enzyme. All hydrazides form an intense broad band with maximum absorbance in a narrow wavelength range (350-360 nm), irrespective of the acyl group, suggesting that the transition is located on the organic cofactor. A different situation is found with some phenylhydrazines, where extended conjugation can occur between the cofactor and the phenyl pi-electron system via the azo group, as shown by the lower energy and higher intensity of the transition. In this case the transition is sensitive to substituents in the phenyl ring. The c.d. spectrum of the adducts is influenced by the type of hydrazide (derived from phenylacetic acid or benzoic acid), by pH and by NN-diethyldithiocarbamate binding to copper, probably as a result of shifts of equilibria between hydrazone-azo tautomers.

Discovery of a sensitive, selective, and tightly binding fluorogenic substrate of bovine plasma amine oxidase.

Project description:We report a novel fluorogenic substrate of bovine plasma amine oxidase (BPAO), namely, (2-(6-(aminomethyl)naphthalen-2-yloxy)ethyl)trimethylammonium (ANETA), which displays extremely tight binding to BPAO (K(m) 183 +/- 14 nM) and yet is metabolized fairly quickly (k(cat) 0.690 +/- 0.010 s(-1)), with the aldehyde turnover product (2-(6-formylnaphthalen-2-yloxy)ethyl)trimethylammonium serving as a real time reporting fluorophore of the enzyme activity. This allowed for the development of a fluorometric noncoupled assay that is 2 orders of magnitude more sensitive than the spectrophotometric benzylamine assay. The discovery of ANETA involved elaboration of the lead compound 6-methoxy-2-naphthalenemethaneamine by structure-based design, which recognized the ancillary cation binding site of BPAO as the most significant structural features controlling binding affinity. Structure-based design further ensured a high level of selectivity: ANETA is a good substrate of BPAO but is not a substrate of either porcine kidney diamine oxidase (pkDAO) or rat liver monoamine oxidase (MAO-B). ANETA represents the first highly sensitive, selective, and tight binding fluorogenic substrate of a copper amine oxidase that is able to respond directly to the enzyme activity in real time.
