Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease that affects the first and second motoneurons (MNs), associated with muscle weakness, paralysis and finally death. The exact etiology of the disease still remains unclear. Currently, efforts to develop novel ALS treatments which target specific pathomechanisms are being studied. The mechanisms of ALS pathogenesis involve multiple factors, such as protein aggregation, glutamate excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis, inflammation etc. Unfortunately, to date, there are only two FDA-approved drugs for ALS, riluzole and edavarone, without curative treatment for ALS. Herein, we give an overview of the many pathways and review the recent discovery and preclinical characterization of neuroprotective compounds. Meanwhile, drug combination and other therapeutic approaches are also reviewed. In the last part, we analyze the reasons of clinical failure and propose perspective on the treatment of ALS in the future.

Abstract
Halophenylacetamides (HPAcAms) have been identified as a new group of nitrogenous aromatic disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in drinking water, but the toxicity mechanisms associated with HPAcAms remain almost completely unknown. In this work, the cytotoxicity of HPAcAms in human hepatoma (HepG2) cells was evaluated, intracellular oxidative stress/damage levels were analyzed, their binding interactions with antioxidative enzyme were explored, and a quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model was established. Results indicated that the EC50 values of HPAcAms ranged from 2353 μM to 9780 μM, and the isomeric structure as well as the type and number of halogen substitutions could obviously induce the change in the cytotoxicity of HPAcAms. Upon exposure to 2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)acetamide (3,4-DCPAcAm), various important biomarkers linked to oxidative stress and damage, such as reactive oxygen species, 8‑hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine, and cell apoptosis, exhibited a significant increase in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, 3,4-DCPAcAm could directly bind with Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase and induce the alterations in the structure and activity, and the formation of complexes was predominantly influenced by the van der Waals force and hydrogen bonding. The QSAR model supported that the nucleophilic reactivity as well as the molecular compactness might be highly important in their cytotoxicity mechanisms in HepG2 cells, and 2-(2,4-dibromophenyl)acetamide and 2-(3,4-dibromophenyl)acetamide deserved particular attention in future studies due to the relatively higher predicted cytotoxicity. This study provided the first comprehensive investigation on the cytotoxicity mechanisms of HPAcAm DBPs.

Abstract
We prepared L-amino acids (L-valine and L-serine, respectively) based on the Schiff base Cu2+ complexes CuSV and CuSS in the absence/presence of hydroxyl groups and their imidazole-bound compounds CuSV-Imi and CuSS-Imi to reveal the effects of hydroxyl groups on SOD activity. The structural and spectroscopic features of the Cu2+ complexes were evaluated using X-ray crystallography, UV-vis spectroscopy, and EPR spectroscopy. The spectroscopic behavior upon addition of lysozyme indicated that both CuSV and CuSS were coordinated by the imidazole group of His15 in lysozyme at their equatorial position, leading to the formation of hybrid proteins with lysozyme. CuSS-Imi showed a higher SOD activity than CuSV-Imi, indicating that the hydroxyl group of CuSS-Imi played an important role in the disproportionation of O2 - ion. Hybridization of the Cu2+ complexes CuSV and CuSS with lysozyme resulted in higher SOD activity than that of CuSV-Imi and CuSS-Imi. The improvements in SOD activity suggest that there are cooperative effects between Cu2+ complexes and lysozyme.

Abstract
Transition metal ions, such as copper, are indispensable components in the biological system. Copper ions which primarily exist in two major oxidation states Cu(I) and Cu(II) play crucial roles in various cellular processes including antioxidant defense, biosynthesis of neurotransmitters, and energy metabolism, owing to their inherent redox activity. The disturbance in copper homeostasis can contribute to the development of copper metabolism disorders, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases, highlighting the significance of understanding the copper trafficking system in cellular environments. This review aims to offer a comprehensive overview of copper homeostatic machinery, with an emphasis on the coordination chemistry of copper transporters and trafficking proteins. While copper chaperones and the corresponding metalloenzymes are thoroughly discussed, we also explore the potential existence of low-molecular-mass metal complexes within cellular systems. Furthermore, we summarize the toxicity mechanisms originating from copper deficiency or accumulation, which include the dysregulation of oxidative stress, signaling pathways, signal transduction, and amyloidosis. This perspective review delves into the current knowledge regarding the intricate aspects of the copper trafficking system, providing valuable insights into potential treatment strategies from the standpoint of bioinorganic chemistry.

Abstract
Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is a neglected mosquito-borne parasitic disease, widely caused by Wuchereria bancrofti (Wb) in tropical and sub-tropical countries. During a blood meal, the filarial nematodes are transmitted to humans by the infected mosquito. To counter attack the invaded nematodes, the human immune system produces reactive oxygen species. However, the anti-oxidant enzymes of nematodes counteract the host oxidative cytotoxicity. Cu/Zn Superoxide dismutase (SOD1), a member of antioxidant enzymes and are widely used by the nematodes to sustain the host oxidative stress across its lifecycle, hence targeting SOD1 to develop suitable drug molecules would help to overcome the problems related to efficacy and activity of drugs upon different stages of nematodes. In order to find the potent inhibitors, a three-dimensional structure of Cu/Zn WbSOD1 was modelled and the structural stability was analysed through simulation studies. The structure-guided virtual screening approach has been used to identify lead molecules from the ChemBridge based on the docking score, ADMET properties and protein-ligand complex stability analysis. The identified compounds were observed to interact with the copper, metal binding residues (His48, His63, His80 and His120) and catalytically important residue Arg146, which play a crucial role in the disproportionation of incoming superoxide radicals of Cu/Zn WbSOD1. Further, in vitro validation of the selected leads in the filarial worm Setaria digitata exhibited higher inhibition and better IC50 compared to the standard drug ivermectin. Thus, the identified leads could potentially inhibit enzyme activity, which could subsequently act as drug candidates to control LF.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Hydrophobic microdomains, also known as hydrophobic patches, are essential for many important biological functions of water-soluble proteins. These include ligand or substrate binding, protein-protein interactions, proper folding after translation, and aggregation during denaturation. Unlike transmembrane domains, which are easily recognized from stretches of contiguous hydrophobic sidechains in amino acids via primary protein sequence, these three-dimensional hydrophobic patches cannot be easily predicted. The lack of experimental strategies for directly determining their locations hinders further understanding of their structure and function. Here, we posit that the small triatomic anion N3- (azide) is attracted to these patches and, in the presence of an oxidant, forms a radical that covalently modifies C-H bonds of nearby amino acids. Using two model proteins (BSA and lysozyme) and a cell-free lysate from the model higher plant Arabidopsis thaliana, we find that radical-mediated covalent azidylation occurs within buried catalytic active sites and ligand binding sites and exhibits similar behavior to established hydrophobic probes. The results herein suggest a model in which the azido radical is acting as an "affinity reagent" for nonaqueous three-dimensional protein microenvironments and is consistent with both the nonlocalized electron density of the azide moiety and the known high reactivity of azido radicals widely used in organic chemistry syntheses. We propose that the azido radical is a facile means of identifying hydrophobic microenvironments in soluble proteins and, in addition, provides a simple new method for attaching chemical handles to proteins without the need for genetic manipulation or specialized reagents.

Abstract
The catalytic mechanisms for the wild-type and the mutated Cu-only superoxide dismutase were studied using the hybrid density functional B3LYP and a quantum chemical cluster approach. Optimal protonation states of the active site were examined for each stage of the catalytic cycle. For both the reductive and the oxidative half-reactions, the arrival of the substrate O2•- was found to be accompanied by a charge-compensating H+ with exergonicities of -15.4 kcal·mol and -4.7 kcal·mol, respectively. The second-sphere Glu-110 and first-sphere His-93 were suggested to be the transient protonation site for the reductive and the oxidative half-reactions, respectively, which collaborates with the hydrogen bonding water chain to position the substrate near the redox-active copper center. For the reductive half-reaction, the rate-limiting step was found to be the inner-sphere electron transfer from the partially coordinated O2•- to CuII with a barrier of 8.1 kcal·mol. The formed O2 is released from the active site with an exergonicity of -14.9 kcal·mol. For the oxidative half-reaction, the inner-sphere electron transfer from CuI to the partially coordinated O2•- was found to be accompanied by the proton transfer from the protonated His-93 and barrierless. The rate-limiting step was found to be the second proton transfer from the protonated Glu-110 to HO2- with a barrier of 7.3 kcal·mol. The barriers are reasonably consistent with experimental activities, and a proton-transfer rate-limiting step in the oxidative half-reaction could explain the experimentally observed pH-dependence. For the E110Q CuSOD, Asp-113 was suggested to be likely to serve as the transient protonation site in the reductive half-reaction. The rate-limiting barriers were found to be 8.0 and 8.6 kcal·mol, respectively, which could explain the slightly lower performance of E110X mutants. The results were found to be stable, with respect to the percentage of exact exchange in B3LYP.

Abstract
A novel hybrid protein composed of a superoxide dismutase-active Cu(II) complex (CuST) and lysozyme (CuST@lysozyme) was prepared. The results of the spectroscopic and electrochemical analyses confirmed that CuST binds to lysozyme. We determined the crystal structure of CuST@lysozyme at 0.92 Å resolution, which revealed that the His15 imidazole group of lysozyme binds to the Cu(II) center of CuST in the equatorial position. In addition, CuST was fixed in position by the weak axial coordination of the Thr89 hydroxyl group and the hydrogen bond between the guanidinium group of the Arg14 residue and the hydroxyl group of CuST. Furthermore, the combination of CuST with lysozyme did not decrease the superoxide dismutase activity of CuST. Based on the spectral, electrochemical, structural studies, and quantum chemical calculations, an O2- disproportionation mechanism catalyzed by CuST@lysozyme is proposed.

Abstract
The objective of this review was to analyze the effect of dietary selenium on oxidative stress in horses by considering past and recent bibliographic sources. Some research was done on oxidative stress, related pathologies and how selenium regulates oxidative stress. Oxidizing molecules are molecules that can accept electrons from the substances with which they react. Oxidizing These molecules, of oxidizing, are found naturally in any organism, and there are antioxidant mechanisms that regulate its activity. However, when the body is stressed, oxidizing molecules outperform the antioxidants, causing an imbalance known as oxidative stress. Among antioxidant molecules, selenium can act as an important antioxidant in the body. The antioxidant activity is based on an enzyme called glutathione peroxidase, which depends on selenium and controls the activity of oxidizing molecules.

Abstract
Canine degenerative myelopathy (DM) is a human amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-like neurodegenerative disease. It is a unique, naturally occurring animal model of human ALS. Canine DM is associated with the aggregation of canine superoxide dismutase 1 (cSOD1), which is similar to human ALS. Almost 100% of cases in dogs are familial, and the E40K mutation in cSOD1 is a major causative mutation of DM. Therefore, it is important to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying cSOD1(E40K) aggregation. To address this, we first analyzed the structural model of wild type cSOD1. Interactions were evident between amino acid E40 and K91. Therefore, the mutation at residue E40 causes loss of the interaction and may destabilize the native structure of cSOD1. Differential scanning fluorimetry revealed that the E40K mutant was less stable than the wild type. Moreover, stability could be recovered by the E40K and K91E double mutation. Acceleration of amyloid fibril formation in vitro and aggregate formation in cells of cSOD1(E40K) was also suppressed by the introduction of this double mutation in thioflavin T fluorescence assay results and in transfectant cells, respectively. These results clearly show the importance of the interaction between amino acid residues E40 and K91 in cSOD1 for the stability of the native structure and aggregation.

[PMID: 35817830 PMCID: PMC9273606 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-15701-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2022] [Accepted: 06/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
Copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1) has been proposed as one of the causative proteins of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The accumulation of non-native conformers, oligomers, and aggregates of SOD1 in motor neurons is considered responsible for this disease. However, it remains unclear which specific feature of these species induces the onset of ALS. In this study, we showed that disulfide-linked oligomers of denatured SOD1 exhibit pro-oxidant activity. Substituting all the cysteine residues in the free thiol state with serine resulted in the loss of both the propensity to oligomerize and the increase in pro-oxidant activity after denaturation. In contrast, these cysteine mutants oligomerized and acquired the pro-oxidant activity after denaturation in the presence of a reductant that cleaves the intramolecular disulfide bond. These results indicate that one of the toxicities of SOD1 oligomers is the pro-oxidant activity induced by scrambling of the disulfide bonds. Small oligomers such as dimers and trimers exhibit stronger pro-oxidant activity than large oligomers and aggregates, consistent with the trend of the cytotoxicity of oligomers and aggregates reported in previous studies. We propose that the cleavage of the intramolecular disulfide bond accompanied by the oligomerization reduces the substrate specificity of SOD1, leading to the non-native enzymatic activity.

Abstract
Protein allostery is a biological process facilitated by spatially long-range intra-protein communication, whereby ligand binding or amino acid change at a distant site affects the active site remotely. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation provides a powerful computational approach to probe the allosteric effect. However, current MD simulations cannot reach the time scales of whole allosteric processes. The advent of deep learning made it possible to evaluate both spatially short and long-range communications for understanding allostery. For this purpose, we applied a neural relational inference model based on a graph neural network, which adopts an encoder-decoder architecture to simultaneously infer latent interactions for probing protein allosteric processes as dynamic networks of interacting residues. From the MD trajectories, this model successfully learned the long-range interactions and pathways that can mediate the allosteric communications between distant sites in the Pin1, SOD1, and MEK1 systems. Furthermore, the model can discover allostery-related interactions earlier in the MD simulation trajectories and predict relative free energy changes upon mutations more accurately than other methods. Here, the authors apply a neural relational inference model to infer dynamic networks of interacting residues in protein molecular dynamics simulations. The model can predict allosteric communication pathways and relative free energy changes upon mutations.

SOD1 in ALS: Taking Stock in Pathogenic Mechanisms and the Role of Glial and Muscle Cells. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11040614.

Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the loss of motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. While the exact causes of ALS are still unclear, the discovery that familial cases of ALS are related to mutations in the Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1), a key antioxidant enzyme protecting cells from the deleterious effects of superoxide radicals, suggested that alterations in SOD1 functionality and/or aberrant SOD1 aggregation strongly contribute to ALS pathogenesis. A new scenario was opened in which, thanks to the generation of SOD1 related models, different mechanisms crucial for ALS progression were identified. These include excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunctions, and non-cell autonomous toxicity, also implicating altered Ca2+ metabolism. While most of the literature considers motor neurons as primary target of SOD1-mediated effects, here we mainly discuss the effects of SOD1 mutations in non-neuronal cells, such as glial and skeletal muscle cells, in ALS. Attention is given to the altered redox balance and Ca2+ homeostasis, two processes that are strictly related with each other. We also provide original data obtained in primary myocytes derived from hSOD1(G93A) transgenic mice, showing perturbed expression of Ca2+ transporters that may be responsible for altered mitochondrial Ca2+ fluxes. ALS-related SOD1 mutants are also responsible for early alterations of fundamental biological processes in skeletal myocytes that may impinge on skeletal muscle functions and the cross-talk between muscle cells and motor neurons during disease progression.

Abstract
Two mononuclear Cu(II) complexes, [Cu(phen)2(HL)]ClO4·H2O·2DMF (1) and [Cu(phen)2(HL)2]·EtOH (2), comprising 1,10-phentantroline (phen) and 2-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-1H-indole ligand (H2L) ligands are reported. Analysis and characterization of the samples were performed using standard physicochemical techniques, elemental analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and UV-vis spectroscopy. Single-crystal X-ray crystallography revealed the formation of a pentacoordinate complex in 1 and a hexacoordinate complex in 2, in which the anionic ligand HL- has undergone monodentate coordination through the tetrazole unit. Furthermore, the crystal structure of H2L·MeOH is also discussed. The potential application of compounds 1 and 2 in bioinorganic chemistry was addressed by investigating their radical scavenging activity with the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) and the results were supported also by theoretical calculations.

Abstract
Skin is exposed to ultraviolet radiation from the sun constantly, which may induce overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) causing oxidative stress to cells and tissues. Enzymes and small molecules work together to maintain the redox homeostasis, among which superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) are two kinds of most important antioxidants that suffer from the fragile nature of proteins. Moreover, the proportion of two enzymes used in products must be precisely controlled to reduce the damage caused by the toxic intermediate H2O2. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are emerging as promising candidates for multiple enzyme encapsulation due to their high porosity, easy synthesis, and good biocompatibility. Herein, we developed enzyme-MOF composites, SC@ZIF-8, which exhibited an excellent antioxidative activity in vitro. Chemically protective cages formed by MOFs endow the encapsulated enzymes the long-term stability under unnatural conditions in cosmetic and biomedical materials. The pH-dependent protein release profile of SC@ZIF-8 facilitated the successful delivery of enzymes into the cytoplasm to scavenge toxic ROS. The nanocomposites protected human cells from paraquat-induced oxidative stress, paving a new path for the stable and efficient application of antioxidative enzymes in cosmetic and dermatological fields.

Abstract
In this work we use a discrete Markov chain approach combined with network centrality measures to identify and predict the location of active sites in globular proteins. To accomplish this, we use a three-dimensional network of proteinCαatoms as nodes connected through weighted edges which represent the varying interaction degree between protein's atoms. We compute the mean first passage time matrixH= {Hji} for this Markov chain and evaluate the averaged number of steps ⟨Hj⟩ to reach single nodenjin order to identify such residues that, on the average, are at the least distant from every other node. We also carry out a graph theory analysis to evaluate closeness centralityCc, betweenness centralityCband eigenvector centralityCemeasures which provide relevant information about the connectivity structure and topology of theCαprotein networks. Finally we also performed an analysis of equivalent random and regular networks of the same sizeNin terms of the average path lengthLand the average clustering coefficient⟨C⟩comparing these with the corresponding values forCαprotein networks. Our results show that the mean-first passage time matrixHand its related quantity ⟨Hj⟩ together withCc,CbandCecan not only predict with relative high accuracy the location of active sites in globular proteins but also exhibit a high feasibility to use them to predict the existence of new regions in protein's structure to identify new potential binding or catalytic activity or, in some cases, the presence of new allosteric pathways.

Abstract
As a cofactor of key enzymes, Cu is required in living organisms, although Cu levels in the natural environment are typically low. In this study, the promotion of growth and settlement on the larvae of oyster Crassostrea angulata was observed at an environmentally relevant concentration (10 μg/L Cu). Interestingly, Cu accumulation in the soft tissue of oyster larvae increased during the larval development and exhibited a sharp increase at the late pelagic stage. With the help of RNA-seq, we constructed a high-quality transcriptional database of the oyster C. angulata larvae (24,257 genes with an average length of 1594 bp) via de novo assembly, which provided the basic molecular changes during the larval development. Network analysis of five early developmental stages and differential expression under Cu exposure were integrated to examine the roles of Cu in oyster larvae. Our molecular analysis demonstrated that both ion channels and organic transporters contributed to Cu internalization from the external environment, including zinc transporters and amino acid transporters. The followed distribution of Cu across cells was achieved by ATP7A, the circulatory system, and the Cu transporters (CTRs). Cu exposure enhanced the ribosome and the calcium binding proteins with a higher rate of translation and shell formation, giving rise to faster growth of oyster larvae. Furthermore, Cu facilitated the settling process by upregulating the chitin binding genes and then promoting the formation of the proteinaceous matrix between larvae and substrate. Our study presents the molecular basis for Cu promotion (i.e., hormesis) effects on oyster larval growth and settlement.

Abstract
Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) is a lethal disease in marine shrimp that has caused large-scale mortalities in shrimp aquaculture in Asia and the Americas. The etiologic agent is a pathogenic Vibrio sp. carrying binary toxin genes, pirA and pirB in plasmid DNA. Developing AHPND tolerant shrimp lines is one of the prophylactic approaches to combat this disease. A selected genetic line of Penaeus vannamei was found to be tolerant to AHPND during screening for disease resistance. The mRNA expression of twelve immune and metabolic genes known to be involved in bacterial pathogenesis were measured by quantitative RT-PCR in two populations of shrimp, namely P1 that showed susceptibility to AHPND, and P2 that showed tolerance to AHPND. Among these genes, the mRNA expression of chymotrypsin A (ChyA) and serine protease (SP), genes that are involved in metabolism, and crustin-P (CRSTP) and prophenol oxidase activation system 2 (PPAE2), genes involved in bacterial pathogenesis in shrimp, showed differential expression between the two populations. The differential expression of these genes shed light on the mechanism of tolerance against AHPND and these genes can potentially serve as candidate markers for tolerance/susceptibility to AHPND in P. vannamei. This is the first report of a comparison of the mRNA expression profiles of AHPND tolerant and susceptible lines of P. vannamei.

Abstract
Copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1) is a major antioxidant metalloenzyme that protects cells from oxidative damage by superoxide anions (O2-). Structural, biophysical, and other characteristics have in the past been compiled for mammalian SOD1s and for the highly homologous fungal and bovine SOD1s. Here, we characterize the biophysical properties of a plant SOD1 from tomato chloroplasts and present several of its crystal structures. The most unusual of these structures is a structure at low pH in which tSOD1 harbors zinc in the copper-binding site but contains no metal in the zinc-binding site. The side chain of D83, normally a zinc ligand, adopts an alternate rotameric conformation to form an unusual bidentate hydrogen bond with the side chain of D124, precluding metal binding in the zinc-binding site. This alternate conformation of D83 appears to be responsible for the previously observed pH-dependent loss of zinc from the zinc-binding site of SOD1. Titrations of cobalt into apo tSOD1 at a similar pH support the lack of an intact zinc-binding site. Further characterization of tSOD1 reveals that it is a weaker dimer relative to human SOD1 and that it can be activated in vivo through a copper chaperone for the SOD1-independent mechanism.

Abstract
Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) is a frontline antioxidant enzyme catalysing superoxide breakdown and is important for most forms of eukaryotic life. The evolution of aerobic respiration by mitochondria increased cellular production of superoxide, resulting in an increased reliance upon SOD1. Consistent with the importance of SOD1 for cellular health, many human diseases of the central nervous system involve perturbations in SOD1 biology. But far from providing a simple demonstration of how disease arises from SOD1 loss-of-function, attempts to elucidate pathways by which atypical SOD1 biology leads to neurodegeneration have revealed unexpectedly complex molecular characteristics delineating healthy, functional SOD1 protein from that which likely contributes to central nervous system disease. This review summarises current understanding of SOD1 biology from SOD1 genetics through to protein function and stability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thermophilic fungi have recently emerged as a promising source of thermostable enzymes. Superoxide dismutases are key antioxidant metalloenzymes with promising therapeutic effects in various diseases, both acute and chronic. However, structural heterogeneity and low thermostability limit their therapeutic efficacy. OBJECTIVE Although several studies from hypethermophilic superoxide dismutases (SODs) have been reported, information about Cu,Zn-SODs from thermophilic fungi is scarce. Chaetomium thermophilum is a thermophilic fungus that could provide proteins with thermophilic properties. METHOD The enzyme was expressed in Pichia pastoris cells and crystallized using the vapor-diffusion method. X-ray data were collected, and the structure was determined and refined to 1.56 Å resolution. Structural analysis and comparisons were carried out. RESULTS The presence of 8 molecules (A through H) in the asymmetric unit resulted in four different interfaces. Molecules A and F form the typical homodimer which is also found in other Cu,Zn-SODs. Zinc was present in all subunits of the structure while copper was found in only four subunits with reduced occupancy (C, D, E and F). CONCLUSION The ability of the enzyme to form oligomers and the elevated Thr:Ser ratio may be contributing factors to its thermal stability. Two hydrophobic residues that participate in interface formation and are not present in other CuZn-SODs may play a role in the formation of new interfaces and the oligomerization process. The CtSOD crystal structure reported here is the first Cu,Zn-SOD structure from a thermophilic fungus.

Abstract
After a general introduction to the features and mechanisms of cytochrome c oxidases (CcOs) in mitochondria and aerobic bacteria, we present DFT calculated physical and spectroscopic properties for the catalytic reaction cycle compared with experimental observations in bacterial ba3 type CcO, also with comparisons/contrasts to aa3 type CcOs. The Dinuclear Complex (DNC) is the active catalytic reaction center, containing a heme a3 Fe center and a near lying Cu center (called CuB) where by successive reduction and protonation, molecular O2 is transformed to two H2O molecules, and protons are pumped from an inner region across the membrane to an outer region by transit through the CcO integral membrane protein. Structures, energies and vibrational frequencies for Fe-O and O-O modes are calculated by DFT over the catalytic cycle. The calculated DFT frequencies in the DNC of CcO are compared with measured frequencies from Resonance Raman spectroscopy to clarify the composition, geometry, and electronic structures of different intermediates through the reaction cycle, and to trace reaction pathways. X-ray structures of the resting oxidized state are analyzed with reference to the known experimental reaction chemistry and using DFT calculated structures in fitting observed electron density maps. Our calculations lead to a new proposed reaction pathway for coupling the PR → F → OH (ferryl-oxo → ferric-hydroxo) pathway to proton pumping by a water shift mechanism. Through this arc of the catalytic cycle, major shifts in pKa's of the special tyrosine and a histidine near the upper water pool activate proton transfer. Additional mechanisms for proton pumping are explored, and the role of the CuB+ (cuprous state) in controlling access to the dinuclear reaction site is proposed.

Skin protective and regenerative effects of RM191A, a novel superoxide dismutase mimetic. Redox Biol 2020; 38:101790. [PMID: 33202300 PMCID: PMC7677716 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2020.101790] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2020] [Revised: 10/12/2020] [Accepted: 11/02/2020] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is known to be protective against oxidative stress-mediated skin dysfunction. Here we explore the potential therapeutic activities of RM191A, a novel SOD mimetic, on skin. RM191A is a water-soluble dimeric copper (Cu2+-Cu3+)-centred polyglycine coordination complex. It displays 10-fold higher superoxide quenching activity compared to SOD as well as significant antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities through beneficial modulation of several significant inflammatory cytokines in vitro and in vivo. We tested the therapeutic potential of RM191A in a topical gel using a human skin explant model and observed that it significantly inhibits UV-induced DNA damage in the epidermis and dermis, including cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD), 8-oxo-guanine (8-oxoG) and 8-nitroguanine (8NGO). RM191A topical gel is found to be non-toxic, non-teratogenic and readily distributed in the body of mice. Moreover, it significantly accelerates excisional wound healing, reduces 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced inflammation and attenuates age-associated oxidative stress in skin, demonstrating both skin regenerative and geroprotective properties of RM191A. RM191A is a Cu3+ containing coordination complex with 10-fold higher superoxide quenching activity compared to superoxide dismutase. RM191A exhibits potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties in vitro and in vivo. RM191A protects human skin explants against UV-induced oxidative stress and DNA damage. RM191A is non-toxic, non-teratogenic and readily bioavailable in mice. RM191A promotes wound healing, and attenuates TPA-induced inflammation as well as age-associated oxidative stress in mouse skin.

Abstract
Quantum chemical and multiscale calculations reveal the mechanistic pathway of two superoxide dismutase mimetic N-alkylated tetra-azacyclophane copper complexes with remarkable activity. The arrangement of the binding site afforded by the bulky alkyl substituents and the coordinated water molecule as a proton source play key roles in the reaction mechanism.

Abstract
This work explores the pivotal role that protein mobility plays in facilitating the catalytic activity of Copper-Zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1). Through both localized active site distortions and correlated domain movement, these motions enable the enzyme to adopt the conformations necessary to achieve both substrate delivery and efficient catalytic transformation. Structural and computational studies of a biomimetic model complex are used to probe the localized interactions between substrate and secondary sphere residues that play a role in guiding substrate to the active site, as well as facilitating the conformational changes necessary for substrate turnover. Normal mode analysis (NMA) of SOD1 demonstrates how collective domain motion influences key residues of the electrostatic loop (ESL), guiding substrate to the active site and facilitating the delivery of the conserved water network necessary for proton transfer.

Abstract
Copper ions (i.e., copper) are a critical part of several cellular processes, but tight regulation of copper levels and trafficking are required to keep the cell protected from this highly reactive transition metal. Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase (Sod1) protects the cell from the accumulation of radical oxygen species by way of the redox cycling activity of copper in its catalytic center. Multiple posttranslational modification events, including copper incorporation, are reliant on the copper chaperone for Sod1 (Ccs). The high-affinity copper uptake protein (Ctr1) is the main entry point of copper into eukaryotic cells and can directly supply copper to Ccs along with other known intracellular chaperones and trafficking molecules. This review explores the routes of copper delivery that are utilized to activate Sod1 and the usefulness and necessity of each.

Abstract
The degree by which metalloproteins partially regulate net charge (Z) upon electron transfer (ET) was recently measured for the first time using "protein charge ladders" of azurin, cytochrome c, and myoglobin [Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2018, 57(19), 5364-5368; Angew. Chem. 2018, 130, 5462-5466]. Here, we show that Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) is unique among proteins in its ability to resist changes in net charge upon single ET (e.g., ΔZET(SOD1) =0.05±0.08 per electron, compared to ΔZET(Cyt-c) =1.19±0.02). This total regulation of net charge by SOD1 is attributed to the protonation of the bridging histidine upon copper reduction, yielding redox centers that are isoelectric at both copper oxidation states. Charge regulation by SOD1 would prevent long range coulombic perturbations to residue pKa 's upon ET at copper, allowing SOD1's "electrostatic loop" to attract superoxide with equal affinity (at both redox states of copper) during diffusion-limited reduction and oxidation of superoxide.

Abstract
Mononuclear and polymeric complexes of zinc(ii) and copper(ii) have been synthesized using two isomers of the hemi-salen ligand with a different mutual orientation of donor atoms. The heterometallic Cu/Zn metallocycle features a catalytic niche filled with the molecule of water and molecules of methanol. This unusual compound exhibits both pronounced catalytic activity in the reaction of oxidation of a secondary alcohol to ketone and field induced slow magnetic relaxation, which is a very rare phenomenon among Cu(ii) complexes.

Abstract
Several different mutations of the protein copper, zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1) produce the neurodegenerative disorder amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The molecular mechanism by which the diverse mutations converge to a similar pathology is currently unknown. The electrostatic loop (EL) of SOD1 is known to be affected in all of the studied ALS-linked mutations of SOD1. In this work, we employ a multiscale simulation approach to show that this perturbation corresponds to an increased probability of the EL detaching from its native position, exposing the metal site of the protein to water. From extensive atomistic and coarse-grained molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we identify an allosteric pathway that explains the action of the distant G93A mutation on the EL. Finally, we employ quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics MD simulations to show that the opening of the EL decreases the Zn(II) affinity of the protein. As the loss of Zn(II) is at the center of several proposed pathogenic mechanisms in SOD1-linked ALS, the structural effect identified here not only is in agreement with the experimental data but also places the opening of the electrostatic loop as the possible main pathogenic effect for a significant number of ALS-linked SOD1 mutations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rice grains are consumed by approximately half of the world's population. This cereal has higher arsenic (As) concentrations in grains than wheat or barley. Arsenic determination in food and/or in vitro studies are important for risk assessment; however, it is not enough to assess the real human exposure. METHOD In vitro bioaccessibility was carried out in husked-rice using gastric and intestinal solutions similar to humans. Also, As naturally found in husked-rice was evaluated by in vivo bioavailability in humans. For this purpose, diets from the 1st and 2nd days were free of foods known to be high in As; 3rd and 4th days the diets were composed by rice and water and; 5th and 6th the diet was similar the 1st and 2nd days. During all experimentation, a representative aliquot of each meal, blood and urine were collected for total As (t-As) determination. Arsenic species were determined in the urine. RESULTS t-As in husked rice varied from 157.3 ± 30.6 to 240.2 ± 85.2 μg kg-1. The in vitrobioaccessible fractions ranged from 91 to 94%. Inorganic As (i-As) ranged from 99.7 ± 11.2 to 159.5 ± 29.4 μg kg-1. For the in vivo assay, t-As concentrations in the woman and man blood were about 3 μg mL-1 from the 1st to 6th day. Arsenic from the rice ingested was excreted by urine about 72 h after ingestion. The t-As and dimethyl As (DMA) in urine ranged from 3.59 to 47.17 and 1.02 to 2.55 μg g-1 creatinine for the volunteers, indicating a two-fold DMA-increase in urine after ingestion of husked-rice. CONCLUSION After rice ingestion, As was quickly metabolized. The higher As concentrations were found in urine 72 h after rice ingestion. The main As-specie found in urine was DMA, indicating that methylation of As from rice followed by urine excretion is the main biological pathway for As excretion.

Abstract
Epidemiological evidence has shown that air pollution is associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of air pollution on patients with COPD and pneumonia. A case-control study of patients who had undergone thoracentesis for pleural effusion drainage in a hospital was recruited for this study. COPD and non-COPD patients with pneumonia respectively served as the case and control groups. Increases in particulate matter of <2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM2.5) and NO2 increased the risk of pneumonia in COPD patients (adjusted odd ratio (OR) = 4.136, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.740-9.832 for PM2.5; adjusted OR = 1.841, 95% CI = 1.117-3.036 for NO2). COPD patients with pneumonia had higher levels of CD14 in pleural effusion than did non-COPD with pneumonia (p < 0.05). An increase in CD14 of the pleural effusion increased the risk of pneumonia in COPD patients (adjusted OR = 1.126, 95% CI = 1.009-1.256). We further observed that an increase in Cu and a decrease in Zn in the pleural effusion increased the risk of pneumonia in COPD patients (adjusted OR = 1.005, 95% CI = 1.000-1.010 for Cu; adjusted OR = 0.988, 95% CI = 0.978-0.997 for Zn). In conclusion, our results suggest that COPD patients had a high risk of pneumonia occurring due to air pollution exposure.

Redox Biol 2019; 26:101262. [PMID: 31284117 PMCID: PMC6614508 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2019.101262] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2019] [Revised: 06/18/2019] [Accepted: 06/26/2019] [Indexed: 01/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Copper ion-catalyzed oxidation of yeast SOD1 (ySOD1) was examined to determine early oxidative modifications, including oxidation of a crucial disulfide bond, and the structural and functional repercussions of these events. The study used distinct oxidative conditions: Cu2+/H2O2, Cu2+/H2O2/AscH− and Cu2+/H2O2/glucose. Capillary electrophoresis experiments and quantification of protein carbonyls indicate that ySOD1 is highly susceptible to oxidative modification and that changes can be detected within 0.1 min of the initiation of the reaction. Oxidation-induced structural perturbations, characterized by circular dichroism, revealed the formation of partially-unfolded ySOD1 species in a dose-dependent manner. Consistent with these structural changes, pyrogallol assay indicates a partial loss of enzymatic activity. ESI-MS analyses showed seven distinct oxidized ySOD1 species under mild oxidation within 0.1 min. LC/MS analysis after proteolytic digestion demonstrated that the copper-coordinating active site histidine residues, His47 and His49, were converted into 2-oxo-histidine. Furthermore, the Cu and Zn bridging residue, His64 is converted into aspartate/asparagine. Importantly, the disulfide-bond Cys58-Cys147 which is critical for the structural and functional integrity of ySOD1 was detected as being oxidized at Cys147. We propose, based on LC/MS analyses, that disulfide-bond oxidation occurs without disulfide bond cleavage. Modifications were also detected at Met85 and five surface-exposed Lys residues. Based on these data we propose that the Cys58-Cys147 bond may act as a sacrificial target for oxidants and protect ySOD1 from oxidative inactivation arising from exposure to Cu2+/H2O2 and auto-inactivation during extended enzymatic turnover. Oxidation of yeast superoxide dismutase (ySOD1) by Cu2+/H2O2 is examined. Rapid modification of His, Met, Cys and Lys residues detected by LC-MS methods. Oxidation of active site His residues and partial protein unfolding are early events. The Cys58-Cys147 disulfide bond is oxidized and may act as a sacrificial target. Excess exogenous Cu2+ decreases protein damage and can reverse loss of activity.

A benchmark for the size of the QM system required for accurate hybrid QM/MM calculations on the metal site of the protein copper, zinc superoxide dismutase. J Mol Model 2019; 25:176. [PMID: 31154525 DOI: 10.1007/s00894-019-4066-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2019] [Accepted: 05/14/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
The protein superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) is a copper and zinc-binding protein that has been implicated in the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The Zn(II) binding to SOD1 is critical for the stability of the protein, and has been by itself implicated in ALS pathogenesis. Hence, the quantum mechanical (QM) study of the Zn(II)-site of SOD1 is relevant for understanding ALS. The hybrid QM-molecular mechanics (QM/MM) approach commonly employed for the QM study of proteins is highly dependent on the size of the sub-system treated quantum-mechanically. The size of the QM system also determines the computational feasibility of a given method. In the present work, we compare optimized geometries for the metal site and Zn(II) dissociation energies obtained with a QM/MM methodology employing different sizes for the QM sub-system. We find that geometries converge rapidly to RMSDs of around 0.3 Å, and fails to converge further, while a QM system of 480 atoms was required for converging the Zn(II) interaction energy of SOD1 to within 5 kcal*mol-1, and a 611-atoms QM system for a 1 kcal*mol-1 convergence with respect to our reference, 1280 QM-atoms system. Graphical Abstract The size of the QM system is critical for both the accuracy and the computational cost of a QM/MM calculation. We have identified a optimum balance for the study of the active site of the coppper, zinc superoxide dismutase.

Abstract
The presence of inorganic bioactive minerals with polymers can accelerate and promote several processes including: bone cell joining, proliferation, differentiation, and expression of osteogenic proteins. In this study, zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and imidazole metal-organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles were synthesized and coated over poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) nanofibrous scaffolds for bone tissue engineering application. The surface and bioactive features of the scaffolds were characterized. The osteogenic potential of the scaffolds on human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) was evaluated. Zn-Cu imidazole MOF coated PLLA scaffolds (PLLA@MOF) showed a comparable rate of MSC proliferation with the pure PLLA scaffolds and tissue culture plate (TCP). However, the PLLA@MOF potential of osteogenic differentiation was significantly greater than either pristine PLLA scaffolds or TCP. Hence, coating Zn-Cu imidazole MOF has a significant effect on the osteogenesis of MSC. Therefore, PLLA@MOF is novel scaffolds with bioactive components which are crucial for osteoconductivity and also able to provoke the osteogenesis and angiogenesis.

Abstract
Respiratory diseases are accompanied by intensification of free radical processes at different levels of the biological body organization. Simultaneous stress and suppression of various parts of antioxidant protection lead to the development of oxidative stress (OS) and nitrosative stress (NS). The basic mechanisms of initiation and development of the OS and NS in pulmonary pathology are considered. The antioxidant defense system of the respiratory tract is characterized. The results of the NS and OS marker study in various respiratory diseases are presented. It is shown that NS and OS are multilevel complex-regulated processes, existing and developing in inseparable connection with a number of physiological and pathophysiological processes. The study of NS and OS mechanisms contributes to the improvement of the quality of diagnosis and the development of therapeutic agents that act on different pathogenetic stages of the disease.
