Sulfur and selenium: the role of oxidation state in protein structure and function

Sulfur and selenium occur in proteins as constituents of the amino acids cysteine, methionine, selenocysteine, and selenomethionine. Recent research underscores that these amino acids are truly exceptional. Their redox activity under physiological conditions allows an amazing variety of posttranslational protein modifications, metal free redox pathways, and unusual chalcogen redox states that increasingly attract the attention of biological chemists. Unlike any other amino acid, the "redox chameleon" cysteine can participate in several distinct redox pathways, including exchange and radical reactions, as well as atom-, electron-, and hydride-transfer reactions. It occurs in various oxidation states in the human body, each of which exhibits distinctive chemical properties (e.g. redox activity, metal binding) and biological activity. The position of selenium in the periodic table between the metals and the nonmetals makes selenoproteins ideal catalysts for many biological redox transformations. It is therefore apparent that the chalcogen amino acids cysteine, methionine, selenocysteine, and selenomethionine exhibit a unique biological chemistry that is the source of exciting research opportunities.     

Investigation of the recovery of selenomethionine from selenized yeast by two-dimensional LC–ICP MS

Determination of selenomethionine in selenized yeast by HPLC–ICP MS has been revisited with the focus on recovery of this amino acid during the proteolytic digestion and chromatography steps. Recovery of the extracted selenium from an anion-exchange column was 100% but selenomethionine quantified by the method of standard additions accounted only for 67% of the selenium injected. Analysis (by size-exclusion LC–ICP MS) of the eluate collected before and after the selenomethionine peak showed the presence of oxidized selenomethionine (ca. 3%) and selenomethionine likely to be unspecifically associated with the biological matrix continuum (ca. 11%). This finding was validated by two-dimensional LC–ICP MS using a different elution order, i.e. size-exclusion anion-exchange. The approach developed enabled demonstration that more than 80% of selenium in the selenized yeast is actually present in the form of selenomethionine and suggests that many results reported elsewhere for the concentration of this vital amino acid in selenized yeast may be negatively biased. The research also provided insight into speciation of selenium in the solid residue after proteolytic extraction but the additional amount of selenomethionine recovered was negligible (<1.5%).

Speciation of selenoamino acids by on-line HPLC ETAA spectrometry

An analytical method was developed to determine selenoamino acids in the presence of other compounds. Separation has been achieved by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) using electrothermal atomic absorption (ETAA) spectrometry as a very sensitive and element-specific detector. On-line HPLC ETAAS speciation of selenocystine and selenomethionine has been studied, using a laboratory made interface. Analytical characterization of the method has been realized with standard solutions. Using a 100μl sample loop, the detection limits were calculated as 8 μgl^?1 for selenomethionine and 10 μgl^?1 for selenocystine with repeatability and reproducibility of 4% and 7% respectively. The method has been applied to the determination of selenoamino acids in an extract of white clover (CRM402) certified for total selenium.     

Interactions of Cu(I) with selenium-containing amino acids determined by NMR, XAS, and DFT studies

Cu(I) coordination by organoselenium compounds was recently reported as a mechanism for their prevention of copper-mediated DNA damage. To establish whether direct Se-Cu coordination may be involved in selenium antioxidant activity, Cu(I) coordination of the selenoamino acids methyl-Se-cysteine (MeSeCys) and selenomethionine (SeMet) was investigated. NMR results in D(2)O indicate that Cu(I) binds to the Se atom of both MeSeCys and SeMet as well as the carboxylic acid oxygen atom(s) or amine nitrogen atoms. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and density functional theory (DFT) results confirm Se-Cu coordination, with the identification of a 2.4 ? Se-Cu vector in both the Se- and Cu-EXAFS data. XAS studies also show Cu(I) in an unusual three-coordinate environment with the additional two ligands arising from O/N (2.0 ?). DFT models of 1:1 Cu-selenoamino acid complexes suggest that both selenoamino acids coordinate Cu(I) through the selenium and amino groups, with the third ligand assumed to be water. These compounds represent the first structurally characterized copper(I) complexes with sulfur- or selenium-containing amino acids.     

Determination of selenoamino acids by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

The application of the recently introduced ethylchloroformate derivatization method for the separation and determination of selenomethionine and selenocystein in selenium-enriched yeast and yeast-free tablets by means of a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) system has been studied. The efficiency of three methods for the extraction of selenomethionine from the tablets were compared. Total selenium content of the same tablets were measured using inductively coupled plasma (ICP)-MS and it was found that in the selenized yeast tablets about 80% of the total selenium is present as selenomethionine. The results were in agreement with the values in the labels and with the literature. The accuracy of the total selenium analysis was controlled by the analysis of a reference material.     

ASSIMILATION,DISTRIBUTION, AND METABOLISM OF (75Se)-SELENITE,SELENATE, AND SELENOAMINO ACIDS BY ESCHERICHIA COLI

Abstract

Assimilation of selenium (Se) by Escherichia coli as (⁷⁵Se)-selenite, selenate, selenomethionine, selenocystine and Se?CH₃-selenocystine revealed that (a) selenoamino acids from a culture media are more completely assimilated than selenite or selenate and (b) that the amount of selenite is assimilated three to four times selenate. Most (>95%) of the Se assimilated by E. coli could not be solubilized by sonication and ethanol extraction but much (28% to 70%) of the Se, except Se from selenomethionine, was removed by alkaline dialysis. Se from selenocystine and from Se?CH₃-selenocystine dialyzed from intact cells, whereas Se from selenite and selenate did not. Dialyzable Se is that Se probably present in selenotrisulfide (R?S?Se?S?R) bonds or bound nonspecifically. Analysis of the soluble Se metabolites from selenite, selenate, selenomethionine and selenocystine showed that E. coli produces at least one major metabolic product common to all substrates which upon chromatography appeared to be selenocysteic acid. In monogastric animals selenite and selenate Se does not enter the primary protein structure as amino acids yet metabolites of selenite, selenate and selenocystine produced by E. coli could enter the primary protein structure of animals in minute amounts.     

Selenoamino acid speciation using HPLC–ETAAS following an enzymic hydrolysis of selenoprotein

A high-pressure liquid chromatography–electrothermal atomic absorption spectroscopy (HPLCETAAS) hyphenated technique was used for the determination of seleno compounds present in a selenium-enriched yeast. Conditions were optimized for the separation and quantification of the selenoamino acids, selenocystine and selenomethionine, in the presence of other compounds. The separation was achieved by ion-pairing chromatography using sodium heptanesulphonate as the anionic counterion. On-line detection was carried out using electrothermal atomic absorption with palladium(II) as a matrix modifier. Different extraction procedures were tested on a seleniumenriched yeast. A 92% recovery of the total selenium present in the material was obtained. Attempts to evaluate selenium speciation were carried out; selenomethionine and selenocystine were identified as the major components (42% and 35% respectively).
