摘要

NO_2Tyr (3-Nitrotyrosine) is a modified amino acid that is formed by nitric oxide-derived specics and has been implicated in the pathology of diverse human dis- eases. Nitration of active-site tyrosine residues is known to compromise protein structure and function. Although free NO_2Tyr is produced in abundant concentrations under patho- logical conditions, its capacity to alter protein structure and function at the translational or posttranslational level is unknown. Here, we report that free NO_2Tyr is transported into mammalian cells and selectively incorporated into the extreme carboxyl terminus of #alpha#-tubulin via a posttransla- tional mechanism catalyzed by the enzyme tubulin-tyrosine ligase. In contrast to the enzymatically regulated carboxyl- terminal tyrosination/detyrosination cycle of #alpha#-tubulin, in- corporation of NO_2Tyr shows apparent irreversibility. Nitro- tyrosination of #alpha#-tubulin induces alterations in cell morphol- ogy, changes in microtubule organization, loss of epithelial- barrier function, and intracellular redistribution of the motor protein cytoplasmic dynein. These observations imply that posttranslational nitrotyrosination of #alpha#-tubulin invokes con- formational changes, eithcr directly or via allosteric interac- tions, in the surface-exposed carboxyl terminus of #alpha#-tubulin that compromises the function of this critical domain in regulating microtubule organization and binding of motor- and microtubule-associated proteins. Collectively, these ob- servations illustrate a mechanism whereby free NO_2Tyr can impact deleteriousl
