    Abstract Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a known inducer of inflammatory signaling which triggers generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cell death in responsive cells like THP-1 promonocytes and freshly isolated human monocytes. A key LPS-responsive metabolic pivot point is the 9 megadalton mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC), which provides pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1), lipoamide-linked transacetylase (E2) and lipoamide dehydrogenase (E3) activities to produce acetyl-CoA from pyruvate. While phosphorylation-dependent decreases in PDC activity following LPS treatment or sepsis have been deeply investigated, redox-linked processes have received less attention. Data presented here demonstrate that LPS-induced reversible oxidation within PDC occurs in PDCE2 in both THP-1 cells and primary human monocytes. Knockout of PDCE2 by CRISPR and expression of FLAG-tagged PDCE2 in THP-1 cells demonstrated that LPS-induced glutathionylation is associated with wild type PDCE2 but not mutant protein lacking the lipoamide-linking lysine residues. Moreover, the mitochondrially-targeted electrophile MitoCDNB, which impairs both glutathione- and thioredoxin-based reductase systems, elevates ROS similar to LPS but does not cause PDCE2 glutathionylation. However, LPS and MitoCDNB together are highly synergistic for PDCE2 glutathionylation, ROS production, and cell death. Surprisingly, the two treatments together had differential effects on cytokine production; pro-inflammatory IL-1β production was enhanced by the co-treatment, while IL-10, an important anti-inflammatory cytokine, dropped precipitously compared to LPS treatment alone. This new information may expand opportunities to understand and modulate PDC redox status and activity and improve the outcomes of pathological inflammation.

    Abstract Cysteine is one of the least abundant amino acids, yet it is frequently found as a highly conserved residue within functional (regulatory, catalytic, or binding) sites in proteins. It is the unique chemistry of the thiol or thiolate group of cysteine that imparts to functional sites their specialized properties (e.g., nucleophilicity, high-affinity metal binding, and/or ability to form disulfide bonds). Highlighted in this review are some of the basic biophysical and biochemical properties of cysteine groups and the equations that apply to them, particularly with respect to pKa and redox potential. Also summarized are the types of low-molecular-weight thiols present in high concentrations in most cells, as well as the ways in which modifications of cysteinyl residues can impart or regulate molecular functions important to cellular processes, including signal transduction.

    Abstract Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are a protein superfamily, present in all organisms, that play a critical role in protecting cellular macromolecules from oxidative damage but also regulate intracellular and intercellular signaling processes involving redox-regulated proteins and pathways. Bioinformatic approaches using computational tools that focus on active site-proximal sequence fragments (known as active site signatures) and iterative clustering and searching methods (referred to as TuLIP and MISST) have recently enabled the recognition of over 38,000 peroxiredoxins, as well as their classification into six functionally relevant groups. With these data providing so many examples of Prxs in each class, machine learning approaches offer an opportunity to extract additional information about features characteristic of these protein groups.In this study, we developed a novel computational method named "RF-Prx" based on a random forest (RF) approach integrated with K-space amino acid pairs (KSAAP) to identify peroxiredoxins and classify them into one of six subgroups. Our process performed in a superior manner compared to other machine learning classifiers. Thus the RF approach integrated with K-space amino acid pairs enabled the detection of class-specific conserved sequences outside the known functional centers and with potential importance. For example, drugs designed to target Prx proteins would likely suffer from cross-reactivity among distinct Prxs if targeted to conserved active sites, but this may be avoidable if remote, class-specific regions could be targeted instead.

    Abstract Oxidative modifications of cysteine thiols in cellular proteins are pivotal to the way signal-stimulated reactive oxygen species are sensed and elicit appropriate or sometimes pathological responses, but the dynamic and often transitory nature of these modifications offer a challenge to the investigator trying to identify such sites and the responses they elicit. A number of reagents and workflows have been developed to identify proteins undergoing oxidation and to query the timing, extent and location of such modifications, as described in this minireview. While no approach is perfect to capture all the redox information in a functioning cell, best practices described herein can enable considerable insights into the "redox world" of cells and organisms.

    Abstract Doxorubicin (DOX) is one of the most effective anticancer agents in clinical oncology. Its continued use, however, is severely limited by its dose-dependent cardiotoxicity which stems, in part, from its overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and often manifests itself as full-blown cardiomyopathy in patients, years after the cessation of treatment. Therefore, identifying DOX analogs, or prodrugs, with a diminished cardiotoxic profile is highly desirable. Herein, we describe a novel, H

    Abstract Peroxiredoxins are cysteine-dependent peroxide reductases that group into 6 different, structurally discernable classes. In 2011, our research team reported the application of a bioinformatic approach called active site profiling to extract active site-proximal sequence segments from the 29 distinct, structurally-characterized peroxiredoxins available at the time. These extracted sequences were then used to create unique profiles for the six groups which were subsequently used to search GenBank(nr), allowing identification of ∼3500 peroxiredoxin sequences and their respective subgroups. Summarized in this minireview are the features and phylogenetic distributions of each of these peroxiredoxin subgroups; an example is also provided illustrating the use of the web accessible, searchable database known as PREX to identify subfamily-specific peroxiredoxin sequences for the organism Vitis vinifera (grape).

    Abstract BACKGROUND: Dietary omega-3 (n-3), long chain (LC-, ≥ 20 carbons), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) derived largely from marine animal sources protect against inflammatory processes and enhance brain development and function. With the depletion of natural stocks of marine animal sources and an increasing demand for n-3 LC-PUFAs, alternative, sustainable supplies are urgently needed. As a result, n-3 18-carbon and LC-PUFAs are being generated from plant or algal sources, either by engineering new biosynthetic pathways or by augmenting existing systems. RESULTS: We utilized an engineered plasmid encoding two cyanobacterial acyl-lipid desaturases (DesB and DesD, encoding Δ15 and Δ6 desaturases, respectively) and “vesicle-inducing protein in plastids” (Vipp1) to induce production of stearidonic acid (SDA, 18:4 n-3) at high levels in three strains of cyanobacteria (10, 17 and 27% of total lipids in Anabaena sp. PCC7120, Synechococcus sp. PCC7002, and Leptolyngbya sp. strain BL0902, respectively). Lipidomic analysis revealed that in addition to SDA, the rare anti-inflammatory n-3 LC-PUFA eicosatetraenoic acid (ETA, 20:4 n-3) was synthesized in these engineered strains, and ~ 99% of SDA and ETA was complexed to bioavailable monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) and digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG) species. Importantly, novel molecular species containing alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), SDA and/or ETA in both acyl positions of MGDG and DGDG were observed in the engineered Leptolyngbya and Synechococcus strains, suggesting that these could provide a rich source of anti-inflammatory molecules. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, this technology utilizes solar energy, consumes carbon dioxide, and produces large amounts of nutritionally important n-3 PUFAs and LC-PUFAs. Importantly, it can generate previously undescribed, highly bioavailable, anti-inflammatory galactosyl lipids. This technology could therefore be transformative in protecting ocean fisheries and augmenting the nutritional quality of human and animal food products.

    Abstract Protein sulfenic acids are reactive, reversibly oxidized cysteinyl residues with roles in redox catalysis and regulation. Detection and quantification of these species in proteins is accomplished through chemical modification by reagents such as 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD chloride), 2-nitro-5-thiobenzoate (TNB), dimedone, or derivatives of dimedone, followed by UV-visible spectroscopy or mass spectrometric analysis.
