Neutrophils convert tyrosyl residues in albumin to chlorotyrosine

Abstract: Hypocldorous acid chlorinates tyrosyl residues in small peptides to produce chlorotyrosine. Detection of chlorotyrosine has the potential to unequivocally identify the contribution hypochlorous acid makes to inflammation. I have developed a selective and sensitive HPLC assay for measuring cidorotyrosine. When albumin was exposed to reagent bypochlorous acid, or that produced by myeloperoxidase and stimulated neutrophils, tyrosyl residues in the protein were converted to chlorotyrosine. About 2% of the hypochlo… Show more

“…There is good evidence for limited protein oxidation during inflammatory reactions ; for example, broncheoalveolar fluids have elevated methionine sulphoxide\methionine ratios under conditions in which leucocyte activation is apparent [221]. Furthermore, oxidized proteins (and DNA) form inside the leucocytes during their triggering, as judged by protein carbonyls [222] and tyrosine modification [223], although it is not clear whether this affects protein function directly.…”

“…The first of these involves oxygen-radical formation catalysed by trace transitionmetal ions ; the second involves chlorinating and oxidizing species, such as HOCl [the physiological mixture of hypochlorous acid and its anion ( − OCl) present at pH 7.4] or Cl # , generated by the haem enzyme myeloperoxidase (MPO) [22,23,25]. DOPA, diTyr, o-and m-Tyr, valine and leucine alcohols are known products of hydroxyl-radical-mediated oxidation of Tyr, Phe, Val and Leu side chains, whereas di-Tyr and 3-chloroTyr are well-defined products of Tyr oxidation induced by MPO-derived species ( [22,26,27], reviewed in [28]). MPO, released from activated leucocytes, catalyses the formation of HOCl from physiological concentrations of Cl − ions and H # O # (generated via the oxidative burst of leucocytes as well as other cells) [29].…”

“…HOCl reacts with aromatic rings, such as in tyrosine, yielding 3-chlorotyrosine and 3,5-dichlorotyrosine (5,18,19). These products have been detected in proteins exposed to MPO or stimulated neutrophils (20) and in low-density lipoprotein isolated from atherosclerotic lesions (19).…”
