Nitrosation, Thiols, and Hemoglobin: Energetics and Kinetics

Abstract: Nitrosothiols are powerful vasodilators. Although the mechanism of their formation near neutral pH is an area of intense research, neither the energetics nor the kinetics of this reaction or of subsequent reactions have been addressed. The following considerations may help to guide experiments. (1) The standard Gibbs energy for the homolysis reaction RSNO → RS• + NO•(aq) is +110 ± 5 kJ mol–1. (2) The electrode potential of the RSNO, H+/RSH, NO•(aq) couple is −0.20 ± 0.06 V at pH 7. (3) Thiol nitrosation by NO2… Show more

“…A wide range of redox midpoint potentials (120-525 mV) has been reported for bovine CuZnSOD [32]. Although we could not find a reliable information on redox potential for rat CuZnSOD, it is unlikely to be higher than 920 mV, which is the redox potential for one electron oxidation of HS - [16]. On the other hand, two-electron redox potential of HS -(reaction: HS -→ S 0 + H + + 2e -) at pH 7 is 170 mV [33], which makes HS --induced reduction of Cu 2+ ZnSOD feasible.…”

“…This is in line with the available data on redox potentials. Namely, redox midpoint potential of FeSOD (~100 mV) is lower compared to redox potential of HS -(920 mV at pH 7.4; reaction: HS -→ HS • + e -; the same potential applies to H 2 S → HS • + H + + e -) [9,16,17]. The resistance of FeSOD to reduction appears to be in line with its role in the early evolution of life that took place under the reducing conditions [9].…”

“…Thus, based on an analysis of these rate constants, NO formed in the red blood cell is not likely to escape scavenging. Several pathways have been proposed that could potentially lead to the export of NO activity from the red cell (19 -27), but none of these proposed mechanisms has been proven, and all have been challenged (28,29).…”

“…However, it is important to recognize that the driving force of the reductive nitrosylation of the heme proteins and models at near neutral pH is the very great stability of the ferrous nitrosyl complexes formed under excess NO. In the absence of excess NO, the reverse reaction, namely, nitrite reduction by the ferrous complexes, is thermodynamically favored [117,123]. The nitrosyl complex of metMb has also been reported to react with the biological antioxidant glutathione GSH (in the presence of excess NO) to give Mb(NO) and S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) [124].…”
