Redox Instability and Hemin Loss of Mutant Sperm Whale Myoglobins Induced by 4-Hydroxynonenal in Vitro

摘要

The effects of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) on redox stability of Oxy- and Deoxy- wild-type (WT) and recombinant sperm whale myoglobins (P88H/Q152H, L29F, H97A, and H64F) and hemin loss from Met-myoglobin (Mb) were investigated. HNE induced greater redox instability in WT and mutant Mbs compared to controls (p < 0.05). The extent of HNE-induced OxyMb oxidation was lesser in L29F (p < 0.05) and greater in H97A and P88H/Q152H than in WT (p < 0.05). H64F DeoxyMb was more redox stable than WT DeoxyMb in the presence of HNE (p < 0.05). HNE alkylation occurred exclusively on histidine residues, and histidine 48 was alkylated in all sperm whale myoglobins. HNE alkylation accelerated the protoporphyrin moiety loss only in H97A. Met- forms of WT and L29F but not Deoxy- or Oxy- forms released hemin during storage. Primary structure strongly influenced Mb redox stability in the presence of reactive secondary lipid oxidation products.
