Specific electrochemical iodination of horse heart myoglobin at tyrosine 103 as determined by Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry.

Abstract: The iodination of proteins remains a useful tool in biochemistry for radiolabelling. However, chemical or enzymatic iodination is difficult to control and can give deleterious polyiodination. Previously, we have shown that electrooxidation with nitrite is a rapid method for the selective nitration of tyrosine residues in proteins. In principle, it should be possible to substitute a number of electrooxidisable anions into the tyrosine phenol ring. Electrochemical iodination is more difficult to control than nitration because the rapid anodic oxidation of I(-) leads to persistent formation of the iodinating triiodide anion. However, application of pulsed electrooxidation and reduction cycles is shown to be an effective procedure for the selective mono and double-iodination of myoglobin, which may have general application to other proteins in controlling of the level of iodination. Mono- and double-iodination of myoglobin by this method was confirmed by electrospray FT-ICR mass spectrometry. Infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) enabled localization of the site of mono-iodination to be restricted to either His97 or Tyr103. More extensive sequence coverage was obtained with electron capture dissociation (ECD), allowing unambiguous assignment of the site of iodination to Tyr103.

The research explores a method for specifically iodinating horse heart myoglobin at tyrosine 103. This selective iodination used pulsed electrooxidation and reduction cycles and was confirmed by mass spectrometry.

Objective of the Research

  • The study aimed at developing a more controlled process for protein iodination. This is important in biochemistry, particularly for radiolabelling purposes.

Challenge in Iodination Process

  • The traditional methods of iodination which comprise chemical or enzymatic iodination are hard to control and can result in polyiodination, which can harm the structure and function of the protein.
  • Specifically, electrochemical iodination is difficult due to the rapid anodic oxidation of I(-) leading to a persistent formation of the iodinating triiodide anion.

Proposed Solution

  • The researchers used electrooxidation with nitrite, a method they had previously found to be effective for selective nitration of tyrosine residues in proteins.
  • They proposed that this process could facilitate the substitution of several electro-oxidizable anions into the tyrosine phenol ring.
  • They applied pulsed electrooxidation and reduction cycles, providing a controlled procedure for the selective mono and double-iodination of myoglobin.

Method Confirmation and Protein Localization

  • The researchers confirmed the mono and double iodination of myoglobin using electrospray FT-ICR mass spectrometry.
  • They used Infrared Multiphoton Dissociation (IRMPD) to determine the site of mono-iodination to either His97 or Tyr103.
  • For a more detailed sequence coverage, they used electron capture dissociation (ECD). This provided a clear method to identify the site of iodination to Tyr103.

Significance of the Findings

  • The findings could be significant for the process of protein iodination. The described method offers a more controlled approach to protein iodination, which could be particularly beneficial for proteomic studies and radiolabelling applications.
