ABSTRACT

SH2D5 is a mammalian-specific, uncharacterized adaptor-like protein that contains an N-terminal phosphotyrosine-binding domain and a C-terminal Src homology 2 (SH2) domain. We show that SH2D5 is highly enriched in adult mouse brain, particularly in Purkinjie cells in the cerebellum and the cornu ammonis of the hippocampus. Despite harboring two potential phosphotyrosine (Tyr(P)) recognition domains, SH2D5 binds minimally to Tyr(P) ligands, consistent with the absence of a conserved Tyr(P)-binding arginine residue in the SH2 domain. Immunoprecipitation coupled to mass spectrometry (IP-MS) from cultured cells revealed a prominent association of SH2D5 with breakpoint cluster region protein, a RacGAP that is also highly expressed in brain. This interaction occurred between the phosphotyrosine-binding domain of SH2D5 and an NxxF motif located within the N-terminal region of the breakpoint cluster region. siRNA-mediated depletion of SH2D5 in a neuroblastoma cell line, B35, induced a cell rounding phenotype correlated with low levels of activated Rac1-GTP, suggesting that SH2D5 affects Rac1-GTP levels. Taken together, our data provide the first characterization of the SH2D5 signaling protein.

ABSTRACT

Intracellular signaling is mediated by reversible posttranslational modifications (PTMs) that include phosphorylation, ubiquitination, and acetylation, among others. In response to extracellular stimuli such as growth factors, receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) typically dimerize and initiate signaling through phosphorylation of their cytoplasmic tails and downstream scaffolds. Signaling effectors are recruited to these phosphotyrosine (pTyr) sites primarily through Src homology 2 (SH2) domains and pTyr-binding (PTB) domains. This review describes how these conserved domains specifically recognize pTyr residues and play a major role in mediating precise downstream signaling events.

ABSTRACT

Neutrophil oxidants, including the myeloperoxidase products, HOCl and chloramines, have been linked to endothelial dysfunction in inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis. As they react preferentially with sulfur centers, thiol proteins are likely to be cellular targets. Our objectives were to establish whether there is selective protein oxidation in vascular endothelial cells treated with HOCl or chloramines, and to identify sensitive proteins. Cells were treated with HOCl, glycine chloramine and monochloramine, reversibly oxidized cysteines were labeled and separated by 1D or 2D SDS-PAGE, and proteins were characterized by mass spectrometry. Selective protein oxidation was observed, with chloramines and HOCl causing more changes than H(2)O(2). Cyclophilin A was one of the most sensitive targets, particularly with glycine chloramine. Cyclophilin A was also oxidized in Jurkat T cells where its identity was confirmed using a knockout cell line. The product was a mixed disulfide with glutathione, with glutathionylation at Cys-161. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, peroxiredoxins and cofilin were also highly sensitive to HOCl/chloramines. Cyclophilins are becoming recognized as redox regulatory proteins, and glutathionylation is an important mechanism for redox regulation. Cells lacking Cyclophilin A showed more glutathionylation of other proteins than wild-type cells, suggesting that cyclophilin-regulated deglutathionylation could contribute to redox changes in HOCl/chloramine-exposed cells.

ABSTRACT

AIMS: Reactive oxygen species released from neutrophils during vascular inflammation could contribute to endothelial dysfunction seen in diseases such as atherosclerosis. Activated neutrophils generate hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) and hypochlorous acid (HOCl), as well as chloramines that are formed when HOCl reacts with amino compounds. These oxidants preferentially target thiol groups and thiol-containing proteins. The peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are thiol proteins that have high reactivity with H(2)O(2) and may also be sensitive to HOCl and chloramines. RESULTS: We have investigated human umbilical vein endothelial cells and shown that their cytoplasmic (Prx1 and Prx2) and mitochondrial (Prx3) Prxs are oxidized when they are exposed to H(2)O(2), HOCl, or cell-permeable chloramines. H(2)O(2) converted the Prxs to hyperoxidized, inactive forms, with little accumulation of disulfide-linked dimers. The oxidized Prxs were reduced over hours, presumably due to the action of endothelial sulfiredoxin. In contrast to the hyperoxidation seen with H(2)O(2), HOCl and the chloramine derivatives of glycine and ammonia converted the Prxs to disulfide-linked dimers and dimerization was reversed within 10-30 min of oxidant removal. HOCl treatment caused thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) inhibition with no reversal of dimerization. The cytotoxicity of ammonia chloramine was increased when cells were pretreated with H(2)O(2) to hyperoxidize the Prxs, or when the chloramine was added in the presence of the TrxR inhibitor, auranofin. INNOVATION: We describe the novel observation that exposure of nucleated cells to inflammatory oxidants results in the accumulation of Prxs in the dimeric form. CONCLUSIONS: Endothelial cell Prxs are sensitive targets for neutrophil-derived oxidants and may protect against their damaging effects.

ABSTRACT

Peroxiredoxin 2 (Prx2) is an abundant thiol protein that is readily oxidized in erythrocytes exposed to hydrogen peroxide. We investigated its reactivity in human erythrocytes with hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and chloramines, relevant oxidants in inflammation. Prx2 was oxidized to a disulfide-linked dimer by HOCl, glycine chloramine (GlyCl), and monochloramine (NH(2)Cl) in a dose-dependent manner. In the absence of added glucose, Prx2 and GSH showed similar sensitivities. Second-order rate constants for the reactions of Prx2 with NH(2)Cl and GlyCl were 1.5 x 10(4) and 8 M(-1) s(-1), respectively. The NH(2)Cl value is approximately 10 times higher than that for GSH, whereas Prx2 is approximately 30 times less sensitive than GSH to GlyCl. Thus, the relative sensitivity of Prx2 to GlyCl is greater in the erythrocyte. Oxidation of erythrocyte Prx2 and GSH was less in the presence of glucose, probably because of recycling. High doses of NH(2)Cl resulted in incomplete regeneration of reduced Prx2, suggesting impairment of the recycling mechanism. Our results show that, although HOCl and chloramines are less selective than H(2)O(2), they nevertheless oxidize Prx2. Exposure to these inflammatory oxidants will result in Prx2 oxidation and could compromise the erythrocyte's ability to resist damaging oxidative insult.
