Binding of polyaminocarboxylate chelators to the active-site copper inhibits the GSNO-reductase activity but not the superoxide dismutase activity of Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase.

Abstract：

:In addition to its superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD) catalyzes the reductive decomposition of S-nitroso-L-glutathione (GSNO) in the presence of thiols such as L-glutathione (GSH). The GSNO-reductase activity but not the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity of CuZnSOD is inhibited by the commonly used polyaminocarboxylate metal ion chelators, EDTA and DTPA. The basis for this selective inhibition is systematically investigated here. Incubation with EDTA or DTPA caused a time-dependent decrease in the 680 nm d-d absorption of Cu(II)ZnSOD but no loss in SOD activity or in the level of metal loading of the enzyme as determined by ICP-MS. The chelators also protected the SOD activity against inhibition by the arginine-specific reagent, phenylglyoxal. Measurements of both the time course of SNO absorption decay at 333 nm and oxymyoglobin scavenging of the NO that is released confirmed that the chelators inhibit CuZnSOD catalysis of GSNO reductive decomposition by GSH. The decreased GSNO-reductase activity is correlated with decreased rates of Cu(II)ZnSOD reduction by GSH in the presence of the chelators as monitored spectrophotometrically at 680 nm. The aggregate data suggest binding of the chelators to CuZnSOD, which was detected by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). Dissociation constants of 0.08 +/- 0.02 and 8.3 +/- 0.2 microM were calculated from the ITC thermograms for the binding of a single EDTA and DTPA, respectively, to the CuZnSOD homodimer. No association was detected under the same conditions with the metal-free enzyme (EESOD). Thus, EDTA and DTPA must bind to the solvent-exposed active-site copper of one subunit without removing the metal. This induces a conformational change at the second active site that inhibits the GSNO-reductase but not the SOD activity of the enzyme.
