Reversible Inactivation of Cytochrome Oxidase by Disulfide Bond Reagents.
Recent studies on the chemical nature of cytochrome oxidase (cytochrome c :02 oxidoreductase, EC 1.9.3.1) have been concerned largely with the structure of its iron-porphyrin prosthetic group (cj. (l)), the importance of copper as an integral component of the enzyme (e.g. (2-5)), and the possible role of a lipid factor (e.g. (6-8)). By contrast, little work has been done on the nature of the fu...
متن کاملPartial inactivation of cytochrome c oxidase by nonpolar mercurial reagents.
Purified beef heart cytochrome c oxidase is inactivated to the extent of 35 to 50% by the nonpolar mercurial reagents mercuric chloride and ethylmercuric chloride. The inactivation is complete within 5 min. In titrations of activity, the plateau level of inactivation is attained at added ethylmercuric chloride:heme a ratios of about 1:1. Up to 3 mercury atoms/heme a are bound to the oxidase, al...
متن کاملOxidant sensing by reversible disulfide bond formation.
Maintenance of the cellular redox balance is crucial for cell survival. An increase in reactive oxygen, nitrogen, or chlorine species can lead to oxidative stress conditions, potentially damaging DNA, lipids, and proteins. Proteins are very sensitive to oxidative modifications, particularly methionine and cysteine residues. The reversibility of some of these oxidative protein modifications make...
متن کاملViral inactivation by disulfide bond reducing agents.
Disulfide bonds tie different peptide chains together and lock folded dipeptide chains into particular configurations. It is of interest to learn whether there is a differential susceptibility of viruses to inactivation by disulfide bond reduction. This may lead to information concerning differences in virion structures and may help in grouping them in different morphological categories. Dithio...
متن کاملSynthesis of Zinc Dimethyldithiocarbamate by Reductive Disulfide Bond Cleavage of Tetramethylthiuram Disulfide in Presence of Zn2+
The zinc(II) complex [Zn2(dmdtc)2(μ-dmdtc)2] has been synthesized directly from thiram ligand, containing a disulfide bond {dmdtc = N,N-dimethyldithiocarbamate; thiram = N,N-tetramethylthiuram disulfide}, and characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic methods. Surprisingly thiram, undergoes a reductive disulfide bond scission upon reaction with Zn2+ in methanolic media to give the [Z...
