Site-specific characterization of heat-induced disulfide rearrangement in beta-lactoglobulin by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry

ABSTRACT: Disulfides are important for maintaining protein native structure, but they may undergo rearrangement in the presence of free Cys residues, especially under elevated temperatures. Disulfide rearrangement may result in protein aggregation, which is associated with in vivo pathologies in organisms as well as in vitro protein functionality in food systems, e.g. during thermal processing. In the present study, an LC-MS-based bottom-up site-specific proteomic approach was optimized to study disulfide rearrangements in beta-lactoglobulin, b-LG, under different heat treatments (60-90 C). Artifactual disulfide rearrangement observed during sample preparation using a conventional protocol was minimized by blocking the remaining free Cys residues after heat treatment of the samples. Use of Endoproteinase Glu-C for enzymatic hydrolysis allowed the identification and comparison of relative intensity of all theoretically possible disulfide cross-links formed by the heat treatments. Non-native disulfides were formed from heat treatment at approx. 70 C where b-LG started to unfold, while higher levels of inter-molecular disulfide links were formed at and higher than 80 C, in agreement with b-LG aggregation detected by SEC analysis. Collectively, the abundant signal of Cys66-containing non-native disulfide links after heating suggested that Cys66 is a key disulfide-linked Cys residue in b-LG participating in heat-induced inter-molecular disulfide links, and the corresponding protein aggregation.

Generation of aggregates of alpha-lactalbumin by UV-B light exposure

Project description:Whey proteins are widely used as ingredients in the form of aggregates to obtain certain functionalities in food applications. The aim of this study was to understand how UV illumination generates aggregates of alpha-lactalbumin (a-LA) as an alternative to heat treatments traditionally used for industrial production of protein aggregates. Absorption of UV light by a-LA caused cleavage of disulfide bonds and release of thiol groups, which resulted in primarily disulfide-mediated aggregation. This process mediated efficient aggregation with up to 98% monomer conversion into aggregates through formation of intermolecular disulfide bonds, while only minor levels of nonreducible cross-links were observed. SDS-PAGE analysis revealed that illumination led to formation of dimeric, trimeric, and oligomeric forms of a-LA. LC-MS/MS analysis showed that all of the four native disulfide bonds in a-LA were cleaved by UV illumination but to different extents, and the extent of cleavage was found to be higher in the absence of calcium. Seventeen different non-native disulfides were formed after 24 h of UV illumination. Two dityrosine bonds were identified (Tyr103-Tyr103 and Tyr36-Tyr103) alongside ditryptophan (Trp118-Trp118) and tyrosine-tryptophan (Tyr50-Trp60) cross-links. In addition, Trp60, Trp118, Cys73, Cys91, Cys120, Phe80, Met90, His68, and His107 were found to be oxidized up to 12% as compared to a nonilluminated control. Our work illustrates that light exposure can be used for generation of a-LA aggregates, but optimization of the illumination conditions is required to reduce oxidative damage to Trp, Cys, Phe, Met, and His residues.

Oxidation of whey proteins during thermal treatment characterized by a site-specific LC-MS/MS-based proteomic approach

Project description:Thermal treatment is often employed in food processing to tailor product properties by manipulating ingredient functionality. However, due to the presence of oxidants in many food products, these elevated temperatures may accelerate oxidation and lead to the loss of nutrients. In the present study, oxidation of different whey protein systems (pure alpha-lactalbumin (a-LA), pure beta-lactoglobulin (b-LG), a mix of a-LA and b-LG (as a whey model) and a commercial whey protein isolate (WPI)) was investigated during heat treatment at 60-90 degreeC and a UHT-like condition by LC-MS-based proteomic analysis. The relative modification levels of each oxidation site were calculated and compared among different heat treatments and sample systems. The temperature- and time-dependent oxidation was detectable in protein systems after heating at and higher than 90 degreeC, while the extent of oxidation decreased with increasing complexity of the system (a-LA > b-LG > whey model > WPI). Trp residues in a-LA were found to be the amino acid residues most prone to oxidation during heat treatment. In b-LG-containing protein systems, Cys residues were suggested to scavenge most of the reactive oxidants and undergo oxidation-mediated disulfide rearrangement. The rearranged disulfide bonds contributed to protein aggregation (as confirmed by SDS-PAGE analysis), which was suggested to provide further physical protection against oxidation. However, no significant loss of amino acid residues was detected in the heated protein systems after acidic hydrolysis followed by HPLC analysis, which shows only a minor effect of heat treatment on protein oxidation in these pure protein systems.

NTRC controls chloroplast redox homeostasis through the regulation of the redox balance of 2-Cys Prxs in Arabidopsis

Project description:Thiol-dependent redox regulation is essential for the rapid adaptation of chloroplast metabolism to unpredictable changes of light intensity. The disulfide reductase activity of thioredoxins (Trxs), which relies on photo-reduced ferredoxin (Fdx) and a Fdx-dependent Trx reductase (FTR), constitutes the Fdx-FTR-Trxs system, which links chloroplast redox regulation to light. In addition, chloroplasts harbor an NADPH-dependent Trx reductase (NTR) with a joint Trx domain, NTRC. The activity of these two redox systems is integrated by the balance of the hydrogen peroxide scavenging enzyme 2-Cys peroxiredoxin (2-Cys Prx), which thus plays a key role in maintaining the reducing capacity of chloroplast Trxs in response to light intensity. Based on the severe phenotype of mutant lines lacking NTRC, it is clear that this enzyme plays an essential role in chloroplast redox homeostasis. However, whether the function of NTRC depends on its capacity of reduce 2-Cys Prxs or has additional targets remains unknown. Here, we have addressed this issue by a comparative analysis of the triple mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana, ntrc-2cpab, simultaneously lacking 2-Cys Prxs and NTRC, and the double mutant 2cpab lacking 2-Cys Prxs. The phenotype of the ntrc-2cpab mutant is indistinguishable of the 2cpab mutant, as shown by growth rate, photosynthesis performance, light-dependent redox regulation of enzyme activity and comparative transcriptomics based RNA-Seq. Based on these results, we propose that the function of NTRC in chloroplast redox homeostasis is exerted by the regulation of the redox balance of 2-Cys Prxs rather than by the direct reduction of additional targets.

The Mammalian Cytosolic Thioredoxin Reductase Pathway Acts via a Membrane Protein to Reduce ER-localised Proteins

Project description:Folding of proteins entering the mammalian secretory pathway requires the insertion of the correct disulfide bonds. Disulfide formation involves both an oxidative pathway for their insertion and a reductive pathway to remove incorrectly formed disulfides. Reduction of these disulfides is critical for correct folding and degradation of misfolded proteins. Previously, we showed that the reductive pathway is driven by NADPH generated in the cytosol. Here, by reconstituting the pathway using purified proteins and ER microsomal membranes, we demonstrate that the thioredoxin reductase system provides the minimal cytosolic components required for reducing proteins within the ER lumen. In particular, saturation of the pathway and its protease sensitivity demonstrates the requirement for a membrane protein to shuttle electrons from the cytosol to the ER lumen. These results provide compelling evidence for the critical role of the cytosol in regulating ER redox homeostasis to ensure correct protein folding and to facilitate the degradation of misfolded ER proteins.

Mechano‐covalent protection 1 of procoagulant factor VIII by von Willebrand factor

Project description:von Willebrand factor (VWF) is the protective carrier of procoagulant factor VIII (FVIII) in the shear forces of the circulation, prolonging its half‐life and delivering it to the developing thrombus. VWF∙FVIII complex formation is characterized by catch‐bond behavior in which force first decelerates then accelerates bond dissociation. Patients with mutations in VWF at the FVIII binding site phenocopies hemophilia A and the most common mutations involve cysteine residues of multiple disulfides. Thirteen VWF disulfide bonds at the FVIII binding site exist in formed and unformed states, and binding of FVIII results in partial formation of 12 of the VWF bonds. The VWF∙FVIII bond stiffens in response to force and this property is ablated when VWF disulfide bonds are prevented from forming, resulting in slip‐bond behavior. These findings demonstrate that FVIII binding to VWF involves dynamic changes in the covalent states of several VWF disulfides that are required for productive interaction.

S-bacillithiolation protects against hypochlorite stress in Bacillus subtilis as revealed by transcriptomics and redox proteomics

Project description:Protein S-thiolation is a post-translational thiol-modification that controls redox-sensing transcription factors and protects active site cysteine residues against irreversible oxidation. In Bacillus subtilis the MarR-type repressor OhrR was shown to sense organic hydroperoxides via formation of mixed disulfides with the redox buffer bacillithiol (Cys-GlcN-Malate, BSH), termed as S-bacillithiolation. Here, we have studied changes in the transcriptome and redox proteome caused by the strong oxidant hypochloric acid in B. subtilis. The expression profile of NaOCl stress is indiciative of disulfide stess as shown by the induction of the thiol- and oxidative stress-specific Spx, CtsR and PerR regulons. Thiol redox proteomics identified only few cytoplasmic proteins with reversible thiol-oxidations in response to NaOCl stress that include GapA and MetE. Shotgun-LC-MS/MS analyses revealed that GapA, Spx and PerR are oxidized to intramolecular disulfides by NaOCl stress. Furthermore, we identified six S-bacillithiolated proteins in NaOCl-treated cells, including the OhrR repressor, two methionine synthases MetE and YxjG, the inorganic pyrophosphatase PpaC, the 3-D-phophoglycerate dehydrogenase SerA and the putative bacilliredoxin YphP. S-bacillithiolation of the OhrR repressor leads to up-regulation of the OhrA peroxiredoxin that confers together with BSH specific protection against NaOCl. S-bacillithiolation of MetE, YxjG, PpaC and SerA causes hypochlorite-induced methionine starvation as supported by the induction of the S-box regulon. The mechanism of S-glutathionylation of MetE has been described in Escherichia coli also leading to enzyme inactivation and methionine auxotrophy. In summary, our studies discover an important role of the BSH redox buffer in protection against hypochloric acid by S-bacillithiolation of the redox-sensing regulator OhrR and of four enzymes of the methionine biosynthesis pathway.

Covalent bonding of 4-methylcatechol to beta-lactoglobulin and effects on in vitro protein digestibility

Project description:4-Methylcatechol (4MC) is a polyphenol with origin in processed food. Proteinpolyphenol adducts are formed upon covalent bonding between oxidized polyphenols and proteins. The present study investigated in vitro gastric and intestinal digestion of a milk protein, beta-lactoglobulin (beta-LG), covalently modified at its nucleophilic amino acid residues by oxidized 4MC, 4-methylbenzoquinone (4MBQ). The present study characterizes 4MBQ-induced covalent modifications on beta-LG (henceforth beta-LQ) and their effect on protein digestibility. Significant thiol and amine loss was found in beta-LQ compared to beta-LG. Site-specific 4MBQ-induced modifications were identified on Cys, Lys, Arg, His and Trp in beta-LQ. No significant differences between beta-LG and beta-LQ on in vitro digestibility were observed by assessment with SDS-PAGE, degree of hydrolysis and LC-MS/MS unmodified peptide intensities. Cys-4MC adduct (1.7 ± 0.1 umol/g protein) was released from beta-LQ after in vitro digestion. Overall, 4MBQ-induced covalent modifications in beta-LQ did not affect protein digestibility under the present reaction conditions.
