Moskovitz J, Oien DB: Protein carbonyl and the methionine sulfoxide reductase system. Antioxid Redox Signal. 2010 Mar;12(3):405-15.
The formation and accumulation of protein-carbonyl by reactive oxygen species may serve as a marker of oxidative stress, aging, and age-related diseases. Enzymatic reversal of the protein-carbonyl modification has not yet been detected. However, an enzymatic reversal of protein-methionine sulfoxide modification exists and is mediated by the methionine sulfoxide reductase (Msr) system. Methionine sulfoxide modifications to proteins may precede the formation of protein-carbonyl adducts because of consequent structural changes that increase the vulnerability of amino acid residues to carbonylation. Supportive evidence for this possibility arises from the elevated protein-carbonyl accumulations observed in organisms, such as yeast and mice, lacking the methionine sulfoxide reductase A (MsrA) enzyme. In addition, advanced age or enhanced oxidative-stress conditions foster the accumulations of protein-carbonyls. This review discusses the possible involvement of methionine sulfoxide formation in the occurrence of protein-carbonyl adducts and their relevance to the aging process and neurodegenerative diseases. |
