    Abstract In addition to their role as oxygen transporters, red blood cells (RBCs) contribute to cardiovascular homeostasis by regulating nitric oxide (NO) metabolism via interaction of hemoglobin (Hb) with nitrite and NO itself. RBCs were proposed to also participate in sulfide metabolism. Although Hb is known to react with sulfide, sulfide metabolism by intact RBCs has not been characterized so far. Therefore we explored the role of Hb in sulfide metabolism in intact human RBCs. We find that upon exposure of washed RBCs to sulfide, no changes in oxy/deoxyhemoglobin (oxy/deoxyHb) are observed by UV-vis and EPR spectroscopy. However, sulfide reacts with methemoglobin (metHb), forming a methemoglobin-sulfide (metHb-SH) complex. Moreover, while metHb-SH is stable in cell-free systems even in the presence of biologically relevant thiols, it gradually decomposes to produce oxyHb, inorganic polysulfides and thiosulfate in intact cells, as detected by EPR and mass spectrometry. Taken together, our results demonstrate that under physiological conditions RBCs are able to metabolize sulfide via intermediate formation of a metHb-SH complex, which subsequently decomposes to oxyHb. We speculate that decomposition of metHb-SH is preceded by an inner-sphere electron transfer, forming reduced Hb (which binds oxygen to form oxyHb) and thiyl radical (a process we here define as "reductive sulfhydration"), which upon release, gives rise to the oxidized products, thiosulfate and polysulfides. Thus, not only is metHb an efficient scavenger and regulator of sulfide in blood, intracellular sulfide itself may play a role in keeping Hb in the reduced oxygen-binding form and, therefore, be involved in RBC physiology and function.

    Abstract We previously reported that 9,10-phenanthraquinone (9,10-PQ), an atmospheric electron acceptor, undergoes redox cycling with dithiols as electron donors, resulting in the formation of semiquinone radicals and monothiyl radicals; however, monothiols have little reactivity. Because persulfide and polysulfide species are highly reducing, we speculate that 9,10-PQ might undergo one-electron reduction with these reactive sulfides. In the present study, we explored the redox cycling capability of a variety of quinone-related electron acceptors, including 9,10-PQ, during interactions with the hydropersulfide Na

    Abstract Nitroxyl (HNO) is a simple molecule with significant potential as a pharmacological agent. For example, its use in the possible treatment of heart failure has received recent attention due to its unique therapeutic properties. Recent progress has been made on the elucidation of the mechanisms associated with its biological signaling. Importantly, the biochemical mechanisms described for HNO bioactivity are consistent with its unique and novel chemical properties/reactivity. To date, much of the biology of HNO can be associated with interactions and modification of important regulatory thiol proteins. Herein will be provided a description of HNO chemistry and how this chemistry translates to some of its reported biological effects.

    Abstract The discovery of nitric oxide (NO) as an endogenously generated signaling species in mammalian cells has spawned a vast interest in the study of the chemical biology of nitrogen oxides. Of these, nitroxyl (azanone, HNO) has gained much attention for its potential role as a therapeutic for cardiovascular disease. Known targets of HNO include hemes/heme proteins and thiols/thiol-containing proteins. Recently, due to their roles in redox signaling and cellular defense, selenols and selenoproteins have also been speculated to be additional potential targets of HNO. Indeed, as determined in the current work, selenols are targeted by HNO. Such reactions appear to result only in formation of diselenide products, which can be easily reverted back to the free selenol. This characteristic is distinct from the reaction of HNO with thiols/thiolproteins. These findings suggest that, unlike thiolproteins, selenoproteins are resistant to irreversible oxidative modification, support that Nature may have chosen to use selenium instead of sulfur in certain biological systems for its enhanced resistance to electrophilic and oxidative modification.

    Future directions: Currently, it is known that persulfides possess unique and novel chemical properties that may explain their biological prevalence. However, significantly more work will be required to establish the possible physiological roles of these species. Moreover, an understanding of the regulation of their biosynthesis and degradation will become important topics in piecing together their biology. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 00, 000-000.

    Abstract Nitroxyl (HNO) has become a nitrogen oxide of significant interest due to its reported biological activity. The actions of HNO in the cardiovascular system appear to make it a good candidate for therapeutic applications for cardiovascular disorders and other potentially important effects have been noted as well. Although the chemistry associated with this activity has not been firmly established, the propensity for HNO to react with thiols and metals are likely mechanisms. Herein, are described the biological activity of HNO and some of the chemistry of HNO that may be responsible for its biological effects.

    Abstract The chemical biology of thiols (RSH, e.g., cysteine and cysteine-containing proteins/peptides) has been a topic of extreme interest for many decades due to their reported roles in protein structure/folding, redox signaling, metal ligation, cellular protection, and enzymology.
