“…Amino acid residues such as tyrosine, tryptophan, lysine, methionine, and cysteine are common targets for oxidative modifications, including halogenation, hydroxylation, nitration, nitrosylation, carbamylation, oxidative cross-links, and elevated states of sulfur oxidation . In particular, post-translational modifications (PTM) of tyrosine residues have emerged as biomarkers for oxidative damage that convey chemical information about the oxidative process involved in their generation and have been observed in more than 50 human pathologies. − In neutrophils and eosinophils, myeloperoxidase (MPO) and eosinophil peroxidase, respectively, mediate the formation predominantly of hypochlorous and hypobromous acids. − In macrophages, activation of NADPH oxidase and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) results in the concurrent formation of superoxide and nitric oxide (NO), which together form peroxynitrite (ONOO – ). , These reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are potent tyrosine oxidants, forming chloroTyr, bromoTyr, and nitroTyr under oxidative stress conditions. ,,− Site-specific tyrosine nitration and chlorination have been shown to affect protein–protein interactions with detrimental downstream effects on cellular function and have been established as important biomarkers of oxidative disease states. − However, the specific effects of tyrosine halogenation on protein function have not been well documented. It is proposed that these oxidative stress-induced post-translational modifications (ox-PTMs) alter protein function and protein–protein interactions …”
