Abstract
DNIC can be formed in aqueous media in the absence of thiols via mechanisms that depend exclusively on Fe(II) and NO. However, these reactions do not take place at intracellular concentrations of Fe(II) and NO, reinforcing the relevance of thiols to assist Fe(II) to Fe(I) reduction during DNIC formation in biological media.

Abstract
The reaction of [K(18-crown-6)][O2N2CPh3] with [MeLCo(μ-Br)2Li(OEt2)] (MeL = {(2,6-iPr2C6H3)NC(Me)}2CH) generates the trityl diazeniumdiolate complex, [MeLCo(O2N2CPh3)] (1), in moderate yield. Similar metathesis reactions result in the formation of the Fe and Cu analogues, [MeLM(O2N2CPh3)] (Fe, 2; Cu, 3), which can also be isolated in moderate yields. Complexes 1-3 were characterized by ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, and their solid-state structures were determined by X-ray crystallography. These complexes were further characterized via 1H NMR spectroscopy (in the case of 1 and 2) or EPR spectroscopy (in the case of 3). Irradiation of complexes 1 and 2 with 371 nm light generates the known dinitrosyl complexes, [MeLM(NO)2] (M = Co, 4; Fe, 5), along with Ph3CH and 9-phenylfluorene. We propose that 4 and 5 are formed via the putative hyponitrite intermediates, [MeLM(κ2-O,O-ONNO)], which are formed by photoinduced homolysis of the C-N bond of the [O2N2CPh3] ligand. In contrast, irradiation of complex 3 with 371 nm light, in the presence of 1 equiv of PPh3, led to the formation of the Cu(I) complexes, [MeLCu(PPh3)], [(ArNCMeC(NO)CMeNAr)Cu(PPh3)] (6), and [(ArNCMeC(NO)CMeNAr)Cu]2 (7), of which the latter two are products of γ-nitrosation of the β-diketiminiate ligand. Also formed in this transformation are Ph3CN(H)OCPh3, Ph3PO, and N2O, along with trace amounts of NO.

Abstract
Reaction of MBr2 with 3 equiv of [K(18-crown-6)][O2N2CPh3] generates the trityl diazeniumdiolate complexes [K(18-crown-6)][M(O2N2CPh3)3] (M = Co, 2; Fe, 3) in good yields. Irradiation of 2 and 3 using 371 nm light led to NO formation in 10 and 1% yields (calculated assuming a maximum of 6 equiv of NO produced per complex), respectively. N2O was also formed during the photolysis of 2, in 63% yield, whereas photolysis of 3 led to the formation of N2O, as well as Ph3CN(H)OCPh3, in 37 and 5% yields, respectively. These products are indicative of diazeniumdiolate fragmentation via both C-N and N-N bond cleavage pathways. In contrast, oxidation of complexes 2 and 3 with 1.2 equiv of [Ag(MeCN)4][PF6] led to N2O formation but no NO formation, suggesting that diazeniumdiolate fragmentation occurs exclusively via C-N bond cleavage under these conditions. While the photolytic yields of NO are modest, they represent a 10- to 100-fold increase compared to the previously reported Zn congener, suggesting that the presence of a redox-active metal center favors NO formation upon trityl diazeniumdiolate fragmentation.

Beneficial Effects of Dinitrosyl Iron Complexes on Wound Healing Compared to Commercial Nitric Oxide Plasma Generator. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24054439.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous molecule which plays a key role in wound healing. Previously, we identified the optimal conditions for wound healing strategies using NO donors and an air plasma generator. The aim of this study was to compare the wound healing effects of binuclear dinitrosyl iron complexes with glutathione (B-DNIC-GSH) and NO-containing gas flow (NO-CGF) at their optimal NO doses (0.04 mmol for B-DNIC-GSH and 1.0 mmol for NO-CGF per 1 cm2) in a rat full-thickness wound model over a 3-week period. Excised wound tissues were studied by light and transmission electron microscopy and immunohistochemical, morphometrical and statistical methods. Both treatments had an identical stimulating impact on wound healing, which indicated a higher dosage effectiveness of B-DNIC-GSH compared to the NO-CGF. B-DNIC-GSH spray application reduced inflammation and promoted fibroblast proliferation, angiogenesis and the growth of granulation tissue during the first 4 days after injury. However, prolonged NO spray effects were mild compared to NO-CGF. Future studies should determine the optimal B-DNIC-GSH solution course for a more effective wound healing stimulation.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is an important signaling molecule that is involved in a wide range of physiological and pathological events in biology. Metal coordination chemistry, especially with iron, is at the heart of many biological transformations involving NO. A series of heme proteins, nitric oxide synthases (NOS), soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), and nitrophorins, are responsible for the biosynthesis, sensing, and transport of NO. Alternatively, NO can be generated from nitrite by heme- and copper-containing nitrite reductases (NIRs). The NO-bearing small molecules such as nitrosothiols and dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNICs) can serve as an alternative vehicle for NO storage and transport. Once NO is formed, the rich reaction chemistry of NO leads to a wide variety of biological activities including reduction of NO by heme or non-heme iron-containing NO reductases and protein post-translational modifications by DNICs. Much of our understanding of the reactivity of metal sites in biology with NO and the mechanisms of these transformations has come from the elucidation of the geometric and electronic structures and chemical reactivity of synthetic model systems, in synergy with biochemical and biophysical studies on the relevant proteins themselves. This review focuses on recent advancements from studies on proteins and model complexes that not only have improved our understanding of the biological roles of NO but also have provided foundations for biomedical research and for bio-inspired catalyst design in energy science.

Abstract
In this article we minutely discuss the so-called "oxidative" mechanism of mononuclear form of dinitrosyl iron complexes (M-DNICs) formations proposed by the author. M-DNICs are proposed to be formed from their building material-neutral NO molecules, Fe2+ ions and anionic non-thiol (L-) and thiol (RS-) ligands based on the disproportionation reaction of NO molecules binding with divalent ion irons in pairs. Then a protonated form of nitroxyl anion (NO-) appearing in the reaction is released from this group and a neutral NO molecule is included instead. As a result, M-DNICs are produced. Their resonance structure is described as [(L-)2Fe2+(NO)(NO+)], in which nitrosyl ligands are represented by NO molecules and nitrosonium cations in equal proportions. Binding of hydroxyl ions with the latter causes conversion of these cations into nitrite anions at neutral pH values and therefore transformation of DNICs into the corresponding high-spin mononitrosyl iron complexes (MNICs) with the resonance structure described as [(L-)2Fe2+(NO)]. In case of replacing L- by thiol-containing ligands, which are characterized by high π-donor activity, electron density transferred from sulfur atoms to iron-dinitrosyl groups neutralizes the positive charge on nitrosonium cations, which prevents their hydrolysis, ensuring relatively a high stability of the corresponding M-DNICs with the resonance structure [(RS-)2Fe2+ (NO, NO+)]. Therefore, M-DNICs with thiol-containing ligands, as well as their binuclear analogs (B-DNICs, respective resonance structure [(RS-)2Fe2+2 (NO, NO+)2]), can serve donors of both NO and NO+. Experiments with solutions of B-DNICs with glutathione or N-acetyl-L-cysteine (B-DNIC-GSH or B-DNIC-NAC) showed that these complexes release both NO and NO+ in case of decomposition in the presence of acid or after oxidation of thiol-containing ligands in them. The level of released NO was measured via optical absorption intensity of NO in the gaseous phase, while the number of released nitrosonium cations was determined based on their inclusion in S-nitrosothiols or their conversion into nitrite anions. Biomedical research showed the ability of DNICs with thiol-containing ligands to be donors of NO and NO+ and produce various biological effects on living organisms. At the same time, NO molecules released from DNICs usually have a positive and regulatory effect on organisms, while nitrosonium cations have a negative and cytotoxic effect.

Abstract
Nitric oxide is a diatomic gas that has traditionally been viewed, particularly in the context of chemical fields, as a toxic, pungent gas that is the product of ammonia oxidation. However, nitric oxide has been associated with many biological roles including cell signaling, macrophage cytotoxicity, and vasodilation. More recently, a model for nitric oxide trafficking has been proposed where nitric oxide is regulated in the form of dinitrosyl-dithiol-iron-complexes, which are much less toxic and have a significantly greater half-life than free nitric oxide. Our laboratory has previously examined this hypothesis in tumor cells and has demonstrated that dinitrosyl-dithiol-iron-complexes are transported and stored by multi-drug resistance-related protein 1 and glutathione-S-transferase P1. A crystal structure of a dinitrosyl-dithiol-iron complex with glutathione-S-transferase P1 has been solved that demonstrates that a tyrosine residue in glutathione-S-transferase P1 is responsible for binding dinitrosyl-dithiol-iron-complexes. Considering the roles of nitric oxide in vasodilation and many other processes, a physiological model of nitric oxide transport and storage would be valuable in understanding nitric oxide physiology and pathophysiology.

Abstract
Here we demonstrate that binuclear dinitrosyl iron complexes with thiol-containing ligands (glutathione and mercaptosuccinate, B-DNIC-GSH and B-DNIC-MS, respectively) exert cytotoxic effects on MCF7 human breast cancer cells. We showed that they are mediated by nitrosonium cations released from these complexes (NO+). This finding is supported by the cytotoxic effect of both B-DNICs on MCF7 cells evidenced to retain or was even promoted in the presence of N-Methyl-D-glucamine dithiocarbamate (MGD). MGD recruits an iron nitrosyl group [Fe(NO)] from the iron-dinitrosyl fragment [Fe(NO)2] of B-DNIC-MS forming stable mononitrosyl complexes of iron with MGD and releasing NO+ cations from a [Fe(NO)2] fragment.

Abstract
The present work provides theoretical and experimental foundations for the ability of dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNICs) with thiol-containing ligands to be not only the donors of neutral NO molecules, but also the donors of nitrosonium cations (NO+) in living organisms ensuring S-nitrosation of various proteins and low-molecular-weight compounds. It is proposed that the emergence of those cations in DNICs is related to disproportionation reaction of NO molecules, initiated by their binding with Fe2+ ions (two NO molecules per one ion). At the same time, possible hydrolysis of iron-bound nitrosonium cations is prevented by the electron density transition to nitrosonium cations from sulfur atoms of thiol-containing ligands, which are included in the coordination sphere of iron. It allows supposing that iron in iron-nitrosyl complexes of DNICs has a d 7 electronic configuration. This supposition is underpinned by experimental data revealing that a half of nitrosyl ligands are converted into S-nitrosothiols (RSNOs) when those complexes decompose, with the other half of those ligands released in the form of neutral NO molecules.

Abstract
Cysteamine dioxygenase (ADO) has been reported to exhibit two distinct biological functions with a nonheme iron center. It catalyzes oxidation of both cysteamine in sulfur metabolism and N-terminal cysteine-containing proteins or peptides, such as regulator of G protein signaling 5 (RGS5). It thereby preserves oxygen homeostasis in a variety of physiological processes. However, little is known about its catalytic center and how it interacts with these two types of primary substrates in addition to O2 Here, using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), Mössbauer, and UV-visible spectroscopies, we explored the binding mode of cysteamine and RGS5 to human and mouse ADO proteins in their physiologically relevant ferrous form. This characterization revealed that in the presence of nitric oxide as a spin probe and oxygen surrogate, both the small molecule and the peptide substrates coordinate the iron center with their free thiols in a monodentate binding mode, in sharp contrast to binding behaviors observed in other thiol dioxygenases. We observed a substrate-bound B-type dinitrosyl iron center complex in ADO, suggesting the possibility of dioxygen binding to the iron ion in a side-on mode. Moreover, we observed substrate-mediated reduction of the iron center from ferric to the ferrous oxidation state. Subsequent MS analysis indicated corresponding disulfide formation of the substrates, suggesting that the presence of the substrate could reactivate ADO to defend against oxidative stress. The findings of this work contribute to the understanding of the substrate interaction in ADO and fill a gap in our knowledge of the substrate specificity of thiol dioxygenases.

Abstract
KEY POINTS Nitric oxide (NO) is a gasotransmitter with important physiological and pathophysiological roles in pregnancy. There is limited information available about the sources and metabolism of NO and its bioactive metabolites (NOx) in both normal and complicated pregnancies. The present study characterized and quantified endogenous NOx in human and mouse placenta following determination of the stability of exogenous NOx in placental homogenates. NOx have differential stability in placental homogenates. NO and iron nitrosyl species (FeNOs), are relatively unstable in placental homogenates from normal placentas. Exogenous NO, nitrite and nitrosothiols react with placental homogenates to form iron nitrosyl complexes. FeNOs were also detected endogenously in mouse and human placenta. NOx levels in placental villous tissue are increased in fetal growth restriction vs. placentas from women with normal pregnancies, particularly in fetal growth restriction associated with pre-eclampsia. Villitis was not associated, however, with an increase in NOx levels in either normotensive or pre-eclamptic placentas. The results call for further investigation of FeNOs in normal and complicated pregnancies. ABSTRACT Nitric oxide (NO) is a gasotransmitter with important roles in pregnancy under both physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Although products of NO metabolism (NOx) also have significant bioactivity, little is known about the role of NO and NOx under conditions of aberrant placental inflammation during pregnancy. An ozone-based chemiluminescence approach was used to investigate the stability and metabolic fate of NOx in human placental homogenates from uncomplicated pregnancies in healthy mothers compared to that in placental tissue from normotensive and pre-eclamptic pregnancies complicated with fetal growth restriction (FGR) with and without villitis of unknown aetiology. We hypothesized that placental NOx would be increased in FGR vs. normal tissue, and be further increased in villitis vs. non-villitis placentas. Findings indicate that nitrate, nitrite and nitrosothiols, but not NO or iron nitrosyl species (FeNOs), are relatively stable in placental homogenates from normal placentas, and that NO, nitrite and nitrosothiols react with placental homogenates to form iron nitrosyl complexes. Furthermore, NOx levels in placental villous tissue are increased in FGR vs. placentas from women with normal pregnancies, particularly in FGR associated with pre-eclampsia. However, in contrast to our hypothesis, villitis was not associated with an increase in NOx levels in either normotensive or pre-eclamptic placentas. Our results also strongly support the involvement of FeNOs in both mouse and human placenta, and call for their further study as a critical mechanistic link between pre-eclampsia and fetal growth restriction.

Abstract
Protein S-nitrosation is an important consequence of NO●·metabolism with implications in physiology and pathology. The mechanisms responsible for S-nitrosation in vivo remain debatable and kinetic data on protein S-nitrosation by different agents are limited. 2-Cys peroxiredoxins, in particular Prx1 and Prx2, were detected as being S-nitrosated in multiple mammalian cells under a variety of conditions. Here, we investigated the kinetics of Prx1 S-nitrosation by nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), a recognized biological nitrosating agent, and by the dinitrosyl-iron complex of glutathione (DNIC-GS; [Fe(NO)2(GS)2]−), a hypothetical nitrosating agent. Kinetics studies following the intrinsic fluorescence of Prx1 and its mutants (C83SC173S and C52S) were complemented by product analysis; all experiments were performed at pH 7.4 and 25 ℃. The results show GSNO-mediated nitrosation of Prx1 peroxidatic residue (k+NOCys52 = 15.4 ± 0.4 M−1. s−1) and of Prx1 Cys83 residue (k+NOCys83 = 1.7 ± 0.4 M−1. s−1). The reaction of nitrosated Prx1 with GSH was also monitored and provided a second-order rate constant for Prx1Cys52NO denitrosation of k−NOCys52 = 14.4 ± 0.3 M−1. s−1. In contrast, the reaction of DNIC-GS with Prx1 did not nitrosate the enzyme but formed DNIC-Prx1 complexes. The peroxidatic Prx1 Cys was identified as the residue that more rapidly replaces the GS ligand from DNIC-GS (kDNICCys52 = 7.0 ± 0.4 M−1. s−1) to produce DNIC-Prx1 ([Fe(NO)2(GS)(Cys52-Prx1)]−). Altogether, the data showed that in addition to S-nitrosation, the Prx1 peroxidatic residue can replace the GS ligand from DNIC-GS, forming stable DNIC-Prx1, and both modifications disrupt important redox switches.

Abstract
Here, I present the data testifying that the conversion of free radical NO molecules to nitrosonium ions (NO+), which are necessary for the realization of one of NO biological effects (S-nitrosation), may occur in living organisms after binding NO molecules to loosely bound iron (Fe2+ ions) with the subsequent mutual one-electron oxidation-reduction of NO molecules (their disproportionation). Inclusion of thiol-containing substances as iron ligands into this process prevents hydrolysis of NO+ ions bound to iron thus providing the formation of stable dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNIC) with thiol ligands. Such complexes act in living organisms as donors of NO and NO+, providing stabilization and transfer of these agents via the autocrine and paracrine pathways. Without loosely bound iron (labile iron pool) and thiols participating in the DNIC formation, NO functioning as one of universal regulators of diverse metabolic processes would be impossible.

Abstract
AbstractThe useful aspects of nitric oxide (NO) are nowadays widely known. Due to the need for this molecule in the maintenance of homeostasis, NO-releasing compounds are tested every year to optimize its levels in a patient suffering from low NO production. This manuscript is an update of some important historical concerns about nitrosyl complexes having the ability to act as NO-releasing compounds under the influence of different chemically modified environments. At present, the search for efficient and less harmful NO-releasing molecules at desirable targets and concentrations has gained considerable momentum in nitrosyl chemistry. Iron, ruthenium, and manganese nitrosyls have been investigated elitely to disentangle their electronic transition (excitation) under visible light to act as NO donors without harming the healthy cells of a target. There is much evidence supporting the increase of NO lability if amino acids are used as complexing ligands, the design of a reduction center close to an NO grouping, and the development of porphyrin system-based nitrosyl complexes. From the overall survey, it may be concluded that the desirable properties of such scaffolds need to be evaluated further to complement the biological milieu.

Abstract
The possibility that binuclear dinitrosyl iron complexes with glutathione and cysteine (DNIC-GSН and B-DNIC-Cys) have a strong cytotoxic effect on the growth of endometrioid tumours (EMT) in rats with surgically induced experimental endometriosis established in our previous studies has been supported with experimental data. The increase in the DNIC-GSН or B-DNIC-Cys dose from 10 (in our previous studies) to 20 μmol/kg (after i/p administration to experimental rats) fully suppressed the growth of uterine tissues implanted onto the inner surface of the abdominal wall. At 2 μmol/kg DNIC-GSН, the median value of EMT volume increased from 0 to 15 mm3, while the mean size of EMT-from 55 to 77 mm3 (data from EMT measurements in 10 experimental rats). After treatment of animals with B-DNIC with N-acetyl-L-cysteine (10 μmol/kg) known for its ability to penetrate easily through the cell membrane, the inhibiting effect on EMT growth diminished as could be evidenced from the transformation of ~30% of the implants into large-size EMT. Possible reasons for this phenomenon are discussed.

Abstract
AbstractNitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) are gaseous molecules of major impact in biology. Despite their toxicity, these molecules have profound effects on mammalian physiology and major implications in therapeutics. At tiny concentrations in human biology, they play key signaling and regulatory functions and hence are now labeled as “gasotransmitters.” In this literature survey, an introduction to gasotransmitters in relevance with NO, CO and H2S has been primarily focused. A special attention has been given to the conjoint physiological, pathophysiological and therapeutic aspects of NO in this work. In addition to the aforementioned elements of the investigation being reported, this report gives a detailed account of some of the recent advancements covering the NO release from both the nitro as well as nitroso compounds. The importance of the metallic center on the eve of producing the reduction center on NO and to develop photolabile properties have been elaborated within the effect of a few examples of metallic centers. Also, theoretical investigations that have been reported in the recent past and some other current theories pertaining to NO chemistry have been enlightened in this review. From the overall study, it is eminent that a number of facts are yet to be explored in context with NO for deeper mechanistic insights, model design for these molecules, other key roles and the search to find the best fit formalism in theoretical chemistry.

Abstract
Dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNICs) are important intermediates in the metabolism of nitric oxide (NO). They have been considered to be NO storage adducts able to release NO, scavengers of excess NO during inflammatory hypotensive shock, and mediators of apoptosis in cancer cells, among many other functions. Currently, all studies of DNICs in biological matrices use electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) for both detection and quantification. EPR is limited, however, by its ability to detect only paramagnetic mononuclear DNICs even though EPR-silent binuclear are likely to be prevalent. Furthermore, physiological concentrations of mononuclear DNICs are usually lower than the EPR detection limit (1 μM). We have thus developed a chemiluminescence-based method for the selective detection of both DNIC forms at physiological, pathophysiological, and pharmacologic conditions. We have also demonstrated the use of the new method in detecting DNIC formation in the presence of nitrite and nitrosothiols within biological fluids and tissue. This new method, which can be used alone or in tandem with EPR, has the potential to offer insight about the involvement of DNICs in many NO-dependent pathways.

Abstract
Glutathione-liganded binuclear dinitrosyl iron complex (glut-BDNIC) has been proposed to be a donor of nitric oxide (NO). This study was undertaken to investigate the mechanisms of vasoactivity, systemic hemodynamic effects, and pharmacokinetics of glut-BDNIC. To test the hypothesis that glut-BDNICs vasodilate by releasing NO in its reduced [nitroxyl (HNO)] state, a bioassay method of isolated, preconstricted ovine mesenteric arterial rings was used in the presence of selective scavengers of HNO or NO free radical (NO•); the vasodilatory effects of glut-BDNIC were found to have characteristics similar to those of an HNO donor and markedly different than an NO• donor. In addition, products of the reaction of glut-BDNIC with CPTIO [2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,4,5-tetramethyl imidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide] were found to have electron paramagnetic characteristics similar to those of an HNO donor compared with an NO• donor. In contrast to S-nitroso-glutathione, which was vasodilative both in vitro and in vivo, the potency of glut-BDNIC-mediated vasodilation was markedly diminished in both rats and sheep. Wire myography showed that plasma albumin contributed to this loss of hypotensive effects, an effect abolished by modification of the cysteine-thiol residue of albumin. High doses of glut-BDNIC caused long-lasting hypotension in rats that can be at least partially attributed to its long circulating half-life of ∼44 minutes. This study suggests that glut-BDNIC is an HNO donor, and that its vasoactive effects are modulated by binding to the cysteine residue of plasma proteins, such as albumin.

Abstract
Two approaches to the synthesis of dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNIC) with glutathione and l-cysteine in aqueous solutions based on the use of gaseous NO and appropriate S-nitrosothiols, viz., S-nitrosoglutathione (GS-NO) or S-nitrosocysteine (Cys-NO), respectively, are considered. A schematic representation of a vacuum unit for generation and accumulation of gaseous NO purified from the NO2 admixture and its application for obtaining aqueous solutions of DNIC in a Thunberg apparatus is given. To achieve this, a solution of bivalent iron in distilled water is loaded into the upper chamber of the Thunberg apparatus, while the thiol solution in an appropriate buffer (рН 7.4) is loaded into its lower chamber. Further steps, which include degassing, addition of gaseous NO, shaking of both solutions and formation of the Fe2+-thiol mixture, culminate in the synthesis of DNIC. The second approach consists in a stepwise addition of Fe2+ salts and nitrite to aqueous solutions of glutathione or cysteine. In the presence of Fe2+ and after the increase in рН to the physiological level, GS-NO or Cys-NO generated at acid media (pH < 4) are converted into DNIC with glutathione or cysteine. Noteworthy, irrespective of the procedure used for their synthesis DNIC with glutathione manifest much higher stability than DNIC with cysteine. The pattern of spin density distribution in iron-dinitrosyl fragments of DNIC characterized by the d7 electronic configuration of the iron atom and described by the formula Fe+(NO+)2 is unique in that it provides a plausible explanation for the ability of DNIC to generate NO and nitrosonium ions (NO+) and the peculiar characteristics of the EPR signal of their mononuclear form (M-DNIC).

Abstract
Ferrous myoglobin was oxidized by sulfur trioxide anion radical (STAR) during the free radical chain oxidation of sulfite. Oxidation was inhibited by the STAR scavenger GSH and by the heme ligand CO. Bimolecular rate constants for the reaction of STAR with several ferrous globins and biomolecules were determined by kinetic competition. Reaction rate constants for myoglobin, hemoglobin, neuroglobin, and flavohemoglobin are large at 38, 120, 2,600, and ≥ 7,500 × 10(6) m(-1) s(-1), respectively, and correlate with redox potentials. Measured rate constants for O2, GSH, ascorbate, and NAD(P)H are also large at ∼100, 10, 130, and 30 × 10(6) m(-1) s(-1), respectively, but nevertheless allow for favorable competition by globins and a capacity for STAR scavenging in vivo. Saccharomyces cerevisiae lacking sulfite oxidase and deleted of flavohemoglobin showed an O2-dependent growth impairment with nonfermentable substrates that was exacerbated by sulfide, a precursor to mitochondrial sulfite formation. Higher O2 exposures inactivated the superoxide-sensitive mitochondrial aconitase in cells, and hypoxia elicited both aconitase and NADP(+)-isocitrate dehydrogenase activity losses. Roles for STAR-derived peroxysulfate radical, superoxide radical, and sulfo-NAD(P) in the mechanism of STAR toxicity and flavohemoglobin protection in yeast are suggested.

Abstract
Dinitrosyl iron(i) complexes (DNICs), intracellular NO donors, are important factors in nitric oxide-dependent regulation of cellular metabolism and signal transduction. It has been shown that NO diminishes the toxicity of iron ions and vice versa. To gain insight into the possible role of DNIC in this phenomenon, we examined the effect of GS-DNIC formation on the ability of iron ions to mediate DNA damage, by treatment of the pUC19 plasmid with physiologically relevant concentrations of GS-DNIC. It was shown that GS-DNIC formation protects against the genotoxic effect of iron ions alone and iron ions in the presence of a naturally abundant antioxidant, GSH. This sheds new light on the iron-related protective effect of NO under the circumstances of oxidative stress.

Abstract
EPR, optical, electrochemical and stopped-flow methods were used to demonstrate that Fe(NO)2 fragments in paramagnetic mononuclear and diamagnetic binuclear forms of dinitrosyl iron complexes with glutathione are reversibly reduced by a two-electron mechanism to be further transformed from the initial state with d(7) configuration into states with the d(8) and d(9) electronic configurations of the iron atom. Under these conditions, both forms of DNIC display identical optical and EPR characteristics in state d(9) suggesting that reduction of the binuclear form of DNIC initiates their reversible decomposition into two mononuclear dinitrosyl iron fragments, one of which is EPR-silent (d(8)) and the other one is EPR-active (d(9)). Both forms of DNIC produce EPR signals with the following values of the g-factor: g⊥=2.01, g||=1.97, gaver.=2.0. M-DNIC with glutathione manifest an ability to pass into state d(9), however, only in solutions with a low content of free glutathione. Similar transitions were established for protein-bound М- and B-DNIC with thiol-containing ligands.
