Catechol O-methyltransferase. 7. Affinity labeling with the oxidation products of 6-aminodopamine

Abstract: 6-Aminodopamine (6-NH2DA) and various analogs of 6-NH2DA have been evaluated for their ability to inactivate purified catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT) in vitro. The inactivation of COMT by these agents could be prevented by including an antioxidant in the preincubation mixture or by excluding oxygen; however, catalase did not protect the enzyme from inactivation. Substrate protection studies and kinetic studies suggested that the loss of enzyme activity resulted from the alkylation of an amino acid residue … Show more

“…ldentification of dopaminochrome from the PHSmediated cooxidation of dopamine is another aspect that has biological significance. Dopaminochrome has been suggested as the active alkylating agent that disrupts catecholamine metabolism by irreversibly deactivating catechol-O-methyltransferase ( Borchardt et al ., 1976) . This metabolite probably arises from oxidation of 6-hydroxydopamine (Tse et al ., 1975 ;Swan, 1976) formed in the PHS/AA oxidation of dopamine .…”

“…A reduced oxygen species or a covalent mechanism may mediate inactivation as had been proposed earlier. [16][17][18][19][20] The rate of inactivation of the rat brain synaptosomal enzyme was found to be slower than that of the partially purified bovine enzyme. This was consistent with the requirement for the inhibitors to penetrate the synaptosomes before they could reach the enzyme.…”
