In order to examine potentially important S-thiolated proteins, ^3^5S-labeled hepatocytes were exposed to oxidative stress. A similar group of S-thiolated proteins including carbonic anhydrase III was observed in cells treated with t-butyl hydroperoxide, menadione, or stimulated neutrophils. The radioactive thiols bound to hepatocyte proteins were identified by HPLC and more than 85% was glutathione. In menadione-treated hepatocytes, proteins were gradually S-thiolated over 30 min and 25% of the cellular glutathione pool became protein-bound. In t-butyl hydroperoxide-treated cells, S-thiolation was more transient and 11% of the glutathione was protein-bound. Neutrophil-treated hepatocytes had nearly the same amount of protein S-thiolation (8% after …

S-Thiolation Of Individual Human Neutrophil Proteins Including Actin By Stimulation Of The Respiratory Burst: Evidence Against A Role For Glutathione Disulfide, Yuh-Cherng Chai, S. Ashraf, R. Johnson, James Thomas

Protein S-thiolation, a reversible modification of protein sulfhydryls resulting in formation of mixed-disulfides, was studied in human neutrophils stimulated with phorbol diester to produce superoxide anion. Rapid S-thiolation of several proteins was examined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Glutathione was identified as the primary protein-bound thiol by HPLC chromatography, contributing considerably more than 85% of the total. Minor amounts of homocysteine and/or cysteine were also detected as protein-bound thiols. During the first 30 min after stimulation, 10% of the cellular glutathione became protein bound (2 nmol/mg of protein). There was no increase in glutathione disulfide suggesting that S-thiolation of …
