Abstract

MitoNEET is a CDGSH iron-sulfur protein that has been a target for drug development for diseases such as type-2 diabetes, cancer, and Parkinson's disease. Functions proposed for mitoNEET are as a redox sensor and regulator of free iron in the mitochondria. We have investigated the reactivity of mitoNEET toward the reactive electrophiles 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) and 4-oxononenal (ONE) that are produced from the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acid during oxidative stress. Proteomic, electrophoretic, and spectroscopic analysis has shown that HNE and ONE react in a sequence selective manner that was unexpected considering the structure similarity of these two reactive electrophiles.
