Formation of N-ethylmaleimide (NEM)-glutathione conjugate and N-ethylmaleamic acid revealed by mass spectral characterization of intracellular and extracellular microbial metabolites of NEM.

چکیده
The extracellular and intracellular metabolites formed upon exposure of activated sludge microorganisms to a sublethal concentration of N-ethylmaleimide were monitored by liquid chromatography with ion trap mass spectrometry. The metabolite N-ethylsuccinimido-S-glutathione (m/z 433) was converted rapidly to N-(2-oxoethyl)-2,2-(propionylamino)propanamide (m/z 187) and N-ethylmaleamic acid (m/z 144).

Glutathione-dependent conversion of N-ethylmaleimide to the maleamic acid by Escherichia coli: an intracellular detoxification process.
The electrophile N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) elicits rapid K(+) efflux from Escherichia coli cells consequent upon reaction with cytoplasmic glutathione to form an adduct, N-ethylsuccinimido-S-glutathione (ESG) that is a strong activator of the KefB and KefC glutathione-gated K(+) efflux systems. The fate of the ESG has not previously been investigated. In this report we demonstrate that NEM and N-p...

متن کاملInhibitory Effects of Trapping Agents of Sulfur Drug Reactive Intermediates against Major Human Cytochrome P450 Isoforms
In some cases, the formation of reactive species from the metabolism of xenobiotics has been linked to toxicity and therefore it is imperative to detect potential bioactivation for candidate drugs during drug discovery. Reactive species can covalently bind to trapping agents in in vitro incubations of compound with human liver microsomes (HLM) fortified with β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide ...
متن کاملHomo-oligomerization of the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus nucleocapsid protein and the role of disulfide linkages.
As a step toward understanding the assembly pathway of the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), the oligomeric properties of the nucleocapsid (N) protein were investigated. In this study, we have demonstrated that under nonreducing conditions the N protein forms disulfide-linked homodimers. However, inclusion of an alkylating agent (N-ethylmaleimide [NEM]) prevented disu...
متن کاملReactions of N-ethylmaleimide with peptides and amino acids.
N-Ethylmaleimide (NEM) has been much used for the chemical modification of proteins, and it is usually assumed that reaction occurs specifically at the thiol groups of cysteinyl residues. However, NEM has been shown to react also with the acamino group of peptides and with the imidazole group of histidine (Smyth, Nagamatsu & Fruton, 1960), and with the a-amnino group of certain amino acids (Smy...
