Dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNICs) stabilize nitric oxide in cells and tissues and constitute an important form of its storage and transportation. DNICs may comprise low-molecular-weight ligands, e.g., thiols, imidazole groups in chemical compounds with low molecular weight (LMWDNICs), or high-molecular-weight ligands, e.g., peptides or proteins (HMWDNICs). The aim of this study was to investigate the role of low- and high-molecular-weight ligands in DNIC formation. Lysosomal and proteasomal proteolysis was inhibited by specific inhibitors. Experiments were conducted on human erythroid K562 cells and on K562 cells overexpressing a heavy chain of ferritin. Cell cultures were treated with •NO donor. DNIC formation was monitored by electron paramagnetic resonance. Pretreatment of cells with proteolysis inhibitors diminished the intensity and changed the shape of the DNIC-specific EPR signal in a treatment time-dependent manner. The level of DNIC formation was significantly influenced by the presence of protein degradation products. Interestingly, formation of HMWDNICs depended on the availability of LMWDNICs. The extent of glutathione involvement in the in vivo formation of DNICs is minor yet noticeable, aligning with our prior research findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
