High-Density Immobilization of TCEP on Silica Beads for Efficient Disulfide Reduction and Thiol Alkylation in Peptides

Christian Heinis

Tris-(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) linked to agarose beads is widely used for reducing disulfide bridges in proteins and peptides. The immobilization of TCEP on beads allows efficient removal after reduction to prevent its reaction with alkylating reage ...

A locally activatable sensor for robust quantification of organellar glutathione

Pablo Rivera Fuentes, Sarah Emmert, Gianluca Quargnali

Glutathione (GSH) is the main determinant of intracellular redox potential and participates in multiple cellular signalling pathways. Achieving a detailed understanding of intracellular GSH homeostasis depends on the development of tools to map GSH compart ...

Modulation of Subcellular Redox Homeostasis with Trialkylphosphines

Jade Noémie Nam Nguyen

Redox homeostasis is essential for cell function and its disruption is associated with multiple pathologies. Redox balance is largely regulated by the relative concentrations of reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) glutathione. In eukaryotic cells, this ratio ...

Automated approach for the evaluation of glutathione-S-transferase P1-1 inhibition by organometallic anticancer compounds

Paul Joseph Dyson, Sarah Alexandra Pais Pereira

A novel automated method based on sequential injection analysis (SIA), a non-segmented flow injection technique, was developed to evaluate glutathione S-transferase P1-1 (GST P1-1) activity in the presence of organometallic complexes with putative anticanc ...

Disruption of mitochondrial redox homeostasis by enzymatic activation of a trialkylphosphine probe

Pablo Rivera Fuentes, Jade Noémie Nam Nguyen

Redox homeostasis is essential for cell function and its disruption is associated with multiple pathologies. Redox balance is largely regulated by the relative concentrations of reduced and oxidized glutathione. In eukaryotic cells, this ratio is different ...

Cys-Cys and Cys-Lys Stapling of Unprotected Peptides Enabled by Hypervalent Iodine Reagents

Jérôme Waser, Christian Heinis, Gontran Sangouard, Elija Grinhagena

Easy access to a wide range of structurally diverse stapled peptides is crucial for the development of inhibitors of protein-protein interactions. Herein, we report bis-functional hypervalent iodine reagents for two-component cysteine-cysteine and cysteine ...

The influence of chemical composition, aerosol acidity, and metal dissolution on the oxidative potential of fine particulate matter and redox potential of the lung lining fluid

Athanasios Nenes, Andrea Mario Arangio

Air pollution is a major environmental health risk and it contributes to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases and excess mortality worldwide. The adverse health effects have been associated with the inhalation of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and indu ...

Therapeutic potential of glutathione-enhancers in stress-related psychopathologies

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Sarah Catherine Sonnay, Fiona Hollis, Ioannis Zalachoras, Pascal Steiner, Eva Ramos Fernandez, Laia Morato Fornaguera

The mammalian brain has high energy demands, which may become higher in response to environmental challenges such as psychogenic stress exposure. Therefore, efficient neutralization of reactive oxygen species that are produced as a by-product of ATP synthe ...

MMP9/RAGE pathway overactivation mediates redox dysregulation and neuroinflammation, leading to inhibitory/excitatory imbalance: a reverse translation study in schizophrenia patients

Lijing Xin, Kim Do, Daniella Dwir, Basilio Giangreco

ious mechanisms involved in schizophrenia pathophysiology, such as dopamine dysregulation, glutamate/NMDA receptor dysfunction, neuroinflammation or redox imbalance, all appear to converge towards an oxidative stress "hub" affecting parvalbumine interneuro ...

Role of glutathione S-transferases and the mercapturic acid pathway in the biotransformation potential of two zebrafish (Danio rerio) test systems: early life stages and PAC2 cells

Alena Tierbach

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) early life stages provide an important model for chemical risk assessment due to their genetic similarity to humans and the availability of well-established high-throughput techniques. Cells isolated from zebrafish conserve all thes ...
