Abstract

We previously showed that RPE65 does not specifically produce 11-cis-retinol only but also 13-cis-retinol, supporting a carbocation or radical cation mechanism of isomerization. The intrinsic properties of conjugated polyene chains result in facile formation of radical cations in oxidative conditions. We hypothesized that such radical intermediates, if involved in the mechanism of RPE65, could be stabilized by spin traps. We tested a variety of hydrophilic and lipophilic spin traps for their ability to inhibit RPE65 isomerohydrolase activity. We found that the aromatic lipophilic spin traps such as N-tert-butyl-α-phenylnitrone (PBN), 2,2-dimethyl-4-phenyl-2H-imidazole-1-oxide (DMPIO), and nitrosobenzene (NB) strongly inhibit RPE65 isomerohydrolase activity in vitro.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
