Disease relevance of semiquinone radicals

  • The simulations, based on the crystallographic structure of the reaction center from Rhodopseudomonas viridis, focus on electron transfer from a bacteriopheophytin to a quinone and the subsequent back-reaction [1].
  • In addition, the frequent localization of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase to cells separating the circulation from a second fluid-filled compartment coincides with tissues that are susceptible either to polyphenolic-GSH conjugate-induced toxicity or to quinone and reactive oxygen species-induced toxicity [2].
  • A 6.5 kb region of DNA from Streptomyces violaceoruber, which contains polyketide synthase (PKS) genes for production of the benzoisochromane quinone moiety of the antibiotic, granaticin, was cloned and sequenced [3].
  • The results extend the structural analogies between the secondary quinone binding site in D1 and in subunit L of the photosynthetic reaction center in purple bacteria [4].
  • In the RC of Rhodobacter (Rb.) sphaeroides, the secondary quinone (QB) is surrounded by amino acid residues of the L subunit and some buried water molecules, with M- and H-subunit residues also close by [5].

Chemical compound and disease context of semiquinone radicals

  • The chemical reactivity of each anthracycline quinone methide correlated with the total skin toxicity caused by the respective parent anthracycline following injection into swine skin [16].
  • The g-tensor orientation of the chemically reduced Rieske cluster in cytochrome bc(1) complex from Rhodovulum sulfidophilum with respect to the membrane was determined in the presence and absence of inhibitors and in the presence of oxidized and reduced quinone in the quinol-oxidizing-site (Q(o)-site) by EPR on two-dimensionally ordered samples [17].
  • A unique quinone-binding site was engineered into the Escherichia coli cytochrome b(562) by introducing a cysteine within the hydrophobic interior of the protein [18].
  • Cd(2+) binding at the bacterial photosynthetic reaction center (bRC) from Rhodobacter sphaeroides is known to inhibit proton transfer (PT) from bulk solvent to the secondary quinone Q(B) [19].
  • Key role of proline L209 in connecting the distant quinone pockets in the reaction center of Rhodobacter sphaeroides [20].
 

Biological context of semiquinone radicals

  • This result indicates that, contrary to previous proposals, pyrroloquinoline quinone is not the active site cofactor in mammalian copper amine oxidases [21].
  • The quinone cofactor is regenerated from the iminoquinone intermediate by hydrolysis involving Asp383, the catalytic base in the reductive half-reaction [22].
  • BACKGROUND: The phase II enzyme NAD(P)H :quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) catalyzes quinone detoxification, protecting cells from redox cycling, oxidative stress, mutagenicity, and cytotoxicity induced by quinones and its precursors [23].
  • Mitchell's key insight that all bioenergetic membranes run on the conversion of redox energy into transmembrane electrical and proton gradients took the form 30 years ago of a working model of the Q cycle of cytochrome bc1, which operates reversibly on coupled electron and proton transfers of quinone at two binding sites on opposite membrane faces [24].
  • Here we show that cells enucleated with cytochalasin B still undergo apoptosis induced either by treatment with menadione, an oxidant quinone compound, or by triggering APO-1/Fas, a cell surface molecule involved in physiological cell death [25].
