Covalent binding of xenobiotics to specific proteins in the liver

Drug Metabolism Reviews
N R PumfordJ A Hinson

Abstract

Chemicals that cause toxicity though a direct mechanism, such as acetaminophen, covalently bind to a select group of proteins prior to the development of toxicity, and these proteins may be important in the initiation of the events that lead to the hepatotoxicity. Disruption of the cell is measured by release of intracellular proteins such as alanine aminotransferase and occurs late in the time course following a hepatotoxic dose of a direct toxin. Prior to this disruption, there appears to be a large number of proteins covalently modified by a reactive metabolite. There are at least two possible mechanisms that may cause the toxicity. First, some critical protein is a target of the reactive metabolite. Disruption of the enzymatic function (or a critical pathway for a regulatory protein) may lead directly to cell death. With the direct hepatotoxin acetaminophen, there is a decrease in the activity of several of the early target proteins, but how this disruption of critical proteins leads to the toxicity is still unclear. The early targets appear to be proteins with accessible nucleophilic sulfhydryl groups, and usually the target has a high concentration of the protein within the cell. It is possible that the binding to some of...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule.
