cortactin and Hsp90. HDAC6 interacts with Ras-GTPase-activating protein SH3<br />

domain-binding protein 1 (G3BP) under stress conditions, facilitating protein locomotion<br />

and stress granule formation. To address whether HDAC6 mediates cellular<br />

response to Arsenite stress, we used HaCat keratinocytes for treatment with<br />

Sodium Arsenite. Sodium Arsenite induced a morphological change characteristic<br />

<strong>of</strong> cellular condensing. Immunocytochemistry experiments revealed HDAC6 relocalized<br />

to the perinuclear space during Sodium Arsenite-induced stress within 30<br />

minutes. <strong>The</strong>re was no difference in the overall level <strong>of</strong> HDAC6 protein with various<br />

doses <strong>of</strong> Sodium Arsenite by Western blot analyses. Perinuclear localization <strong>of</strong><br />

HDAC6 correlates with a dose dependent increase <strong>of</strong> association with polysomes.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se results suggest HDAC6 interacts with ribosomal proteins. Several ribosomal<br />

proteins were examined by immunocytochemistry to determine co-localization<br />

with HDAC6. We found that Sodium Arsenite caused HDAC6 to co-localize with<br />

L36a ribosomal proteins. Immunoprecipitation experiments indicate physical interaction<br />

<strong>of</strong> HDAC6 with ribosomal protein L36a. This study demonstrated that<br />

HDAC6 is recruited to the polysomes during stress and interacts specifically with<br />

ribosomal protein L36a. This finding may provide a better understanding <strong>of</strong> ribosomal<br />

regulation during stress through post-translation modifications <strong>of</strong> specific ribosomal<br />

subunits.<br />

Acrolein and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) are cytotoxic α,β-unsaturated aldehydes<br />

produced via lipid peroxidation. <strong>The</strong>se reactive aldehydes can alter protein function<br />

by direct covalent modification <strong>of</strong> nucleophilic amino acid residues (Cys, His, Lys,<br />

(Arg)). Mammalian cells possess a number <strong>of</strong> antioxidant defense mechanisms to<br />

counteract the deleterious effects <strong>of</strong> oxidative stress and reactive aldehydes. <strong>The</strong> glutathione<br />

(GSH) antioxidant defense system plays a critical role in maintaining cellular<br />

redox homeostasis and detoxification <strong>of</strong> reactive aldehydes via GSH conjugation.<br />

<strong>The</strong> first and rate-limiting step in GSH biosynthesis is catalyzed by glutamate<br />

cysteine ligase (GCL), a heterodimeric holoenzyme composed <strong>of</strong> a catalytic<br />

(GCLC) and modulatory (GCLM) subunit. In this study, purified recombinant<br />

proteins were utilized to demonstrate that GCLC and GCLM are targets for posttranslational<br />

modification by acrolein and 4-HNE. While both aldehydes inhibited<br />

GCL holoenzyme formation and activity, they differentially affected monomeric<br />

GCLC activity. 4-HNE activated GCLC, while acrolein had a biphasic effect on<br />

GCLC enzymatic activity. Residue masking studies indicated that Cys and Lys<br />

residues were the primary targets <strong>of</strong> adduction on both GCL subunits.<br />

Furthermore, mass spectrometry analysis identified several residues that were differentially<br />

modified by acrolein and 4-HNE, and may be functionally relevant based<br />

on in silico molecular modeling. In aggregate, these findings demonstrate that<br />

acrolein and 4-HNE can alter GCLC activity and GCL holoenzyme formation and<br />

activity via direct post-translational modification <strong>of</strong> the GCL subunits in vitro.<br />

Within a cellular context, this novel post-translational regulation <strong>of</strong> GCL activity<br />

could significantly affect cellular redox homeostasis and GSH-dependent detoxification<br />

during periods <strong>of</strong> oxidative stress.<br />

Oxidative stress and advanced glycation (glyco-oxidation) produce reactive dicarbonyls<br />

such as methylglyoxal (MG), 3-deoxyglucosone and glucosone. Dicarbonyls<br />

primarily react with arginine residues, resulting in irreversibly modified proteins as<br />

a consequence <strong>of</strong> the net loss <strong>of</strong> positive charge via hydroimidazolone and, to a<br />

lesser extent, argpyrimidine ring formation. <strong>The</strong>se dicarbonyl adducts on human<br />

serum albumin (HSA) may be useful as candidate biomarkers for oxidative stressrelated<br />

diseases. We employed multiple-reaction monitoring (MRM) on 12 synthetic<br />

HSA peptides, with three dicarbonyl modifications each, to generate a transition<br />

list to quantitate relative modification at each site. In addition to MRM, we<br />

determined whether MG-modified HSA was detectable in the urine <strong>of</strong> type II diabetes<br />

patients (T2D) with macroalbuminuria. Digests <strong>of</strong> the dicarbonyl modified<br />

HSA revealed R410 as the dominant hotspot in vitro for MG, 3-deoxyglucosone,<br />

and glucosone. In addition to R410, both R257 and R186 were found to be<br />

hotspots as well, with R186 being the least reactive <strong>of</strong> the three sites. Western blot<br />

analyses using anti-MG antibody on urine from T2D patients with macroalbuminuria<br />

indicated detectable levels <strong>of</strong> MG-related modifications on several proteins,<br />

primarily albumin. From the MRM data, we have determined that quantitation <strong>of</strong><br />

glyco-oxidation from reactive dicarbonyls is suitable using tandem LC-MS/MS<br />

analysis. In summary, using two complementary approaches we have identified<br />

MG-modified HSA by MRM in plasma and western blot analysis in urine from<br />

T2D patients with macroalbuminuria. MG-protein modifications <strong>of</strong> plasma<br />

and/or urinary proteins may serve as markers <strong>of</strong> diabetic complications.<br />

Chronic ethanol consumption is a prominent cause <strong>of</strong> liver disease and is responsible<br />

for significant morbidity and mortality throughout the Western world. Among<br />

the predictable and prominent histologic abnormalities resulting from ethanol ingestion<br />

is hepatosteatosis (fatty liver). <strong>The</strong> mechanisms behind the observed fluctuations<br />

in lipid homeostasis include, but are not limited to, increased hepatocellular<br />

synthesis and decreased β-oxidation <strong>of</strong> fatty acids, as well as impairment <strong>of</strong> cellular<br />

trafficking and secretion <strong>of</strong> hepatic lipids. Using a proteome-wide scan <strong>of</strong> cellular<br />

extracts prepared from livers <strong>of</strong> mice ingesting alcohol for 6 weeks, we identified<br />

liver fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP) as a target for modification by the aldehydic<br />

product <strong>of</strong> lipid peroxidation, 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE). Utilizing LC-<br />

MS/MS and MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry, residues susceptible to modification<br />

by 4-HNE were identified at H43, C69, K31 and K57 from purified<br />

recombinant mouse L-FABP (rL-FABP). Saturation isothermic analysis <strong>of</strong> 4-HNEtreated<br />

rL-FABP revealed significant reductions in maximal binding and markedly<br />

altered high- and low-affinity dissociation constants for the fluorescent probe, 1anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonic<br />

acid (ANS). Stability <strong>of</strong> adducted protein was also<br />

analyzed via thermal denaturation, demonstrating the detrimental effects <strong>of</strong> 4-<br />

HNE modification to L-FABP. Significant changes in the compartmental expression<br />

<strong>of</strong> L-FABP, expression and activity <strong>of</strong> peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-alpha<br />

(PPAR-α), and ubiquitinated proteins were observed in ethanol-treated<br />

mice. Immunohistochemical evaluation <strong>of</strong> liver sections also revealed considerable<br />

changes in lobular expression and localization <strong>of</strong> L-FABP. Collectively, these data<br />

demonstrate in vivo and in vitro modification <strong>of</strong> L-FABP by 4-HNE; suggesting L-<br />

FABP as a potential target for study <strong>of</strong> the initiation and progression <strong>of</strong> alcoholic<br />

liver disease. (R37 NIH/AA009300; NIH/NIAAA 5F31 AA18898-02)<br />

Smoking and obesity are two <strong>of</strong> the most important, yet preventable risk factors for<br />

human morbidity and mortality. Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress appears<br />

to be the unifying mechanism underlying the interaction <strong>of</strong> these risk factors<br />

with the genome, resulting in a variety <strong>of</strong> chronic human diseases. We are identifying<br />

potential protein biomarkers <strong>of</strong> oxidative stress in human populations that accurately<br />

and quantitatively reflect an individual’s exposure/response to environmental<br />

stressors. A subset <strong>of</strong> plasma samples were analyzed from a cohort <strong>of</strong> 500<br />

exposed to main-stream tobacco smoke or never-smoked with BMI above 35 or<br />

below 25. <strong>The</strong> four representative pooled groups included high BMI smoker and<br />

non-smokers, and low BMI smoker and non-smokers. Individual human plasma in<br />

each group was pooled, depleted, digested with trypsin, with the resulting peptides<br />

fractionated using SCX chromatography and subsequently analyzed via an LTQ-<br />

Orbitrap mass spectrometer for a total <strong>of</strong> 100 LC-MS/MS analyses. Data were<br />

searched using X!Tandem against the human International Protein Index database<br />

resulting in 9908 confident peptide identifications corresponding to 1306 proteins.<br />

Searches for 5 different oxidative modifications on tyrosine residues and 2 on cysteine<br />

residues resulted in >1500 unique modified peptides. Extensive oxidation <strong>of</strong><br />

plasma proteins was observed, some with multiple modifications. Dopa-quinone<br />

and cysteine sulfonic modifications <strong>of</strong> AT and alpha-2M were <strong>of</strong> interest because<br />

oxidative modification <strong>of</strong> these proteins is known to contribute to disease risk and<br />

development. <strong>The</strong> differential abundance <strong>of</strong> modified peptides from several pro-
