Neuroglobin: enzymatic reduction and oxygen affinity

Abstract

Neuroglobin (Ngb) is a hexacoordinate globin expressed in the nervous system of vertebrates, involved in neuroprotection. O(2) equilibrium measurements on mouse Ngb yielded significantly different P(50) values, ranging from approximately 2 torr to approximately 10 torr. By a kinetic approach minimizing the effects of protein autoxidation, we measured P(50)=2.2 torr at 20 degrees C. As predicted from the structure, O(2) binds to the Y44D Ngb mutant more quickly (k=2.2s(-1) vs 0.15s(-1)) and with slightly higher affinity (P(50)=1.3 torr) than wild-type. In addition, we introduced a novel reduction protocol for metNgb based on NADH:flavorubredoxin oxidoreductase (FlRd-red) from Escherichia coli, a candidate for the Ngb reducing activity recently identified in E. coli extracts. Interestingly, E. coli FlRd-red shares sequence similarity with the FAD-binding domain of the human apoptosis-inducing factor, a finding which may have unexpected significance with reference to the mechanism of neuroprotection by Ngb.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
