Extra information

Oxidation of the reactive site methionine (Met) in alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor (alpha-1-PI) to methionine sulfoxide (Met(O] is known to cause depletion of its elastase inhibitory activity. To estimate the selectivity of different oxidants in converting Met to Met(O) in alpha-1-PI, we measured the molar ratio Met(O)/alpha-1-PI at total inactivation. This ratio was determined to be 1.2 for both the myeloperoxidase/H2O2/chloride system and the related compound NH2Cl. With taurine monochloramine, another myeloperoxidase-related oxidant, 1.05 mol Met(O) were generated per mol alpha-1-PI during inactivation. These oxidants attack preferentially one Met residue in alpha-1-PI, which is identical with Met 358, as concluded from the parallelism of loss of elastase inhibitory activity and oxidation of Met. A similar high specificity for Met oxidation was determined for the xanthine oxidase-derived oxidants. In contrast, the ratio found for ozone and m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid was 6.0 and 5.0, respectively, indicating oxidation of additional Met residues besides the relative site Met in alpha-1-PI, i.e. unselective action of these oxidants. Further studies were performed on the efficiency of oxidants for total depletion of the elastase inhibitory capacity of alpha-1-PI. Ozone and m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid were 10-fold less effective and the superoxide anion/hydroxyl radicals were 30-50-fold less effective to inactivate the elastase inhibitory activity as compared to the myeloperoxidase-derived oxidants. The myeloperoxidase-related oxidants are discussed as important regulators of alpha-1-PI activity in vivo.
