4-Hydroxynonenal, a product of oxidative degradation of unsaturated lipids, is an endogenous reactive alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehyde with numerous biological activities. 4-Hydroxynonenal rapidly inactivated glutathione reductase in an NADPH-dependent reaction. Inactivation appears to involve the initial formation of an enzyme-inactivator complex, K(D) = 0.5 microM, followed by the inactivation reaction, k = 1.3 x 10(-2) min(-1). alpha,beta-Unsaturated aldehydes such as acrolein, crotonaldehyde, and cinnamaldehyde also inactivated glutathione reductase, although rates varied widely. Inactivation of glutathione reductase by alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes was followed by slower NADPH-independent reactions that led to formation of nonfluorescent cross-linked products, accompanied by loss of lysine and histidine residues. Other reactive endogenous aldehydes such as methylglyoxal, 3-deoxyglucosone, and xylosone inactivated glutathione reductase by an NADPH-independent mechanism, with methylglyoxal being the most reactive. However, 2-oxoaldehydes were much less effective than 4-hydroxynonenal. Inactivation of glutathione reductase by these 2-oxoaldehydes was followed by slower reactions that led to the formation of fluorescent cross-linked products over a period of several weeks. These changes were accompanied by loss of arginine residues. Thus, the sequence of events is different for inactivation and modification of glutathione reductase by alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes compared with 2-oxoaldehydes with respect to kinetics, NADPH requirements, fluorescence changes, and loss of amino acid residues. The ability of 4-hydroxynonenal at low concentrations to inactivate glutathione reductase, a central antioxidant enzyme, suggests that oxidative degradation of unsaturated lipids may initiate a positive feedback loop that enhances the potential for oxidative damage.
