Rutin stimulates sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase activity (SERCA1) and protects SERCA1 from peroxynitrite mediated injury (original) (raw)

Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 2014

Abstract

In this study we analyzed the protective action of the flavonoid rutin on peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)) mediated impairment of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA1 isoform), especially related to posttranslational and conformational changes. Rutin concentration dependently protected ONOO(-) induced SERCA1 activity decrease with effective concentration EC50 of 18 ± 1.5 µM. Upon treatment with ONOO(-), this flavonoid also prevented SERCA1 from thiol group oxidation and significantly reduced tyrosine nitration and protein carbonyl formation. In the absence of ONOO(-), rutin (250 and 350 µM) stimulated SERCA1 activity at 2.1 mM [ATP] and 10 µM [Ca(2+)]free. According to changes in the kinetic parameters V max and K m with regard to [ATP], rutin (250 µM) increased the rate of enzyme catalysis and decreased the affinity of SERCA1 to ATP. FITC fluorescence decreased in the presence of rutin (150 and 250 µM), indicating conformational changes in the cytosolic ATP binding region of SERCA1. In silico study confirmed the binding of rutin in the cytosolic region of SERCA1, in the vicinity of the ATP binding site. Residue Glu183 localized within the conserved TGES loop was identified to play a key role in rutin-SERCA1 interaction (H-bond length of 1.7 Å), elucidating the ability of rutin to affect the affinity of SERCA1 to ATP. The binding of rutin in the proximity of Lys515 is likely to cause a decrease in FITC fluorescence.
