Chemical compound
Glutathione (GSH , ) is an organic compound with the chemical formula HOCOCH(NH 2 )CH2 CH 2 CONHCH(CH 2 SH )CONHCH2 COOH . It is an antioxidant in plants , animals , fungi , and some bacteria and archaea . Glutathione is capable of preventing damage to important cellular components caused by sources such as reactive oxygen species , free radicals , peroxides , lipid peroxides , and heavy metals .[2] It is a tripeptide with a gamma peptide linkage between the carboxyl group of the glutamate side chain and cysteine . The carboxyl group of the cysteine residue is attached by normal peptide linkage to glycine .
Biosynthesis and occurrence [ edit ]
Glutathione biosynthesis involves two adenosine triphosphate -dependent steps:
While all animal cells are capable of synthesizing glutathione, glutathione synthesis in the liver has been shown to be essential. GCLC knockout mice die within a month of birth due to the absence of hepatic GSH synthesis.[4] [5]
The unusual gamma amide linkage in glutathione protects it from hydrolysis by peptidases.[6]
Occurrence [ edit ]
Glutathione is the most abundant non-protein thiol (R−SH -containing compound) in animal cells, ranging from 0.5 to 10 mmol/L. It is present in the cytosol and the organelles .[6] In healthy cells and tissue, more than 90% of the total glutathione pool is in the reduced form (GSH), with the remainder in the disulfide form (GSSG).[7] 80-85% of cellular GSH is in the cytosol and 10-15% is in the mitochondria .[8]
Human beings synthesize glutathione, but a few eukaryotes do not, including some members of Fabaceae , Entamoeba , and Giardia . The only known archaea that make glutathione are halobacteria . Some bacteria , such as "Cyanobacteria " and Pseudomonadota , can biosynthesize glutathione.[9] [10]
Systemic availability of orally consumed glutathione has poor bioavailability because the tripeptide is the substrate of proteases (peptidases) of the alimentary canal , and due to the absence of a specific carrier of glutathione at the level of cell membrane.[11] [12] The administration of N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a cysteine prodrug, helps replenish intracellular GSH levels.[13] The patented compound RiboCeine has been studied as a supplement that enhances production of glutathione which helps mitigate hyperglycemia.[14] [15]
Biochemical function [ edit ]
Glutathione exists in reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG ) states.[16] The ratio of reduced glutathione to oxidized glutathione within cells is a measure of cellular oxidative stress [17] [8] where increased GSSG-to-GSH ratio is indicative of greater oxidative stress.
In the reduced state, the thiol group of cysteinyl residue is a source of one reducing equivalent . Glutathione disulfide (GSSG) is thereby generated. The oxidized state is converted to the reduced state by NADPH .[18] This conversion is catalyzed by glutathione reductase :
NADPH + GSSG + H2 O → 2 GSH + NADP+ + OH−
Antioxidant [ edit ]
GSH protects cells by neutralising (reducing) reactive oxygen species .[19] [6] This conversion is illustrated by the reduction of peroxides:
2 GSH + R2 O 2 → GSSG + 2 ROH (R = H, alkyl)
and with free radicals:
GSH + R• → 1 / 2 GSSG + RH
Regulation [ edit ]
Aside from deactivating radicals and reactive oxidants, glutathione participates in thiol protection and redox regulation of cellular thiol proteins under oxidative stress by protein S -glutathionylation, a redox-regulated post-translational thiol modification. The general reaction involves formation of an unsymmetrical disulfide from the protectable protein (RSH) and GSH:[20]
RSH + GSH + [O ] → GSSR + H2 O
Glutathione is also employed for the detoxification of methylglyoxal and formaldehyde , toxic metabolites produced under oxidative stress. This detoxification reaction is carried out by the glyoxalase system . Glyoxalase I (EC 4.4.1.5) catalyzes the conversion of methylglyoxal and reduced glutathione to S -D -lactoylglutathione. Glyoxalase II (EC 3.1.2.6) catalyzes the hydrolysis of S -D -lactoylglutathione to glutathione and D -lactic acid .
It maintains exogenous antioxidants such as vitamins C and E in their reduced (active) states.[21] [22] [23]
Metabolism [ edit ]
Among the many metabolic processes in which it participates, glutathione is required for the biosynthesis of leukotrienes and prostaglandins . It plays a role in the storage of cysteine. Glutathione enhances the function of citrulline as part of the nitric oxide cycle.[24] It is a cofactor and acts on glutathione peroxidase .[25] Glutathione is used to produce S-sulfanylglutathione, which is part of hydrogen sulfide metabolism.[26]
Conjugation [ edit ]
Glutathione facilitates metabolism of xenobiotics . Glutathione S -transferase enzymes catalyze its conjugation to lipophilic xenobiotics, facilitating their excretion or further metabolism.[27] The conjugation process is illustrated by the metabolism of N -acetyl-p -benzoquinone imine (NAPQI). NAPQI is a reactive metabolite formed by the action of cytochrome P450 on paracetamol (acetaminophen). Glutathione conjugates to NAPQI, and the resulting ensemble is excreted.
In plants [ edit ]
In plants, glutathione is involved in stress management. It is a component of the glutathione-ascorbate cycle , a system that reduces poisonous hydrogen peroxide .[28] It is the precursor of phytochelatins , glutathione oligomers that chelate heavy metals such as cadmium .[29] Glutathione is required for efficient defence against plant pathogens such as Pseudomonas syringae and Phytophthora brassicae .[30] Adenylyl-sulfate reductase , an enzyme of the sulfur assimilation pathway, uses glutathione as an electron donor. Other enzymes using glutathione as a substrate are glutaredoxins . These small oxidoreductases are involved in flower development, salicylic acid , and plant defence signalling.[31]
Winemaking [ edit ]
The content of glutathione in must , the first raw form of wine, determines the browning , or caramelizing effect, during the production of white wine by trapping the caffeoyltartaric acid quinones generated by enzymic oxidation as grape reaction product .[32] Its concentration in wine can be determined by UPLC-MRM mass spectrometry.[33]
