Abstract

Mammalian xanthine oxidoreductase exists intracellularly in its dehydrogenase form. However, outside of this reducing milieu the enzyme quickly transforms into an oxidase form. Interconversion can be controlled by sulfhydryl reactive reagents, suggesting that disulfide bridging is linked to this phenomenon. The present work identified cysteines involved in the interconversion process. Purified enzyme was subjected to mild reduction with 1,4-dithioerythriol to regain dehydrogenase activity, and the accessible cysteines were labeled with specific radioactive alkylation reagents, iodoacetic acid. This partial alkylation stabilizes the dehydrogenase form, presumable by hindering formation of disulfide bond(s). Six of 38 cysteines were found to be labeled (residues 169, 170, 535, 992, 1317, and 1325). The significance of this labeling of bovine xanthine oxidoreductase is discussed in relation to structural knowledge about the enzyme, and especially by comparison with the AA sequences of avian and invertebrate enzymes, which do not undergo conversion. Cysteines 535 and 992 are the most likely marked residues to be involved in the interconversion, whereas the other cysteines are located too far from the cofactorbinding areas in xanthine oxidoreductase.

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.
