Biochemical methods for monitoring protein thiol redox states in biological systems
Oxidative post-translational modifications of proteins resulting from events that increase cellular oxidant levels play important roles in physiological and pathophysiological processes. Evaluation of alterations to protein redox states is increasingly common place because of methodological advances that have enabled detection, quantification and identification of such changes in cells and tiss...
متن کاملMeasuring mitochondrial protein thiol redox state.
Protein thiols are an important component of mammalian intramitochondrial antioxidant defenses owing to their selective interaction with reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS and RNS). Reversible modifications of protein thiols resulting from these interactions are also an important aspect of redox signal transduction. Therefore, to assess how mitochondria respond to oxidative stress and ac...
متن کاملMass spectrometric methods for monitoring redox processes in electrochemical cells
Electrochemistry (EC) is a mature scientific discipline aimed to study the movement of electrons in an oxidation-reduction reaction. EC covers techniques that use a measurement of potential, charge, or current to determine the concentration or the chemical reactivity of analytes. The electrical signal is directly converted into chemical information. For in-depth characterization of complex elec...
متن کاملMussel protein adhesion depends on thiol-mediated redox modulation
Mussel adhesion is mediated by foot proteins (mfps) rich in a catecholic amino acid, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (dopa), capable of forming strong bidentate interactions with a variety of surfaces. A tendency toward facile auto-oxidation, however, often renders dopa unreliable for adhesion. We demonstrate that mussels limit dopa oxidation during adhesive plaque formation by imposing an acidic, r...
متن کاملThiol redox control via thioredoxin and glutaredoxin systems.
The Trx (thioredoxin) and Grx (glutaredoxin) systems control cellular redox potential, keeping a reducing thiol-rich intracellular state, which on generation of reactive oxygen species signals through thiol redox control mechanisms. Here, we give a brief overview of the human Trx and Grx systems. The main part focuses on our current knowledge about mitochondrial Grx2, which facilitates mitochon...
