Peroxynitrite (ONOO−), a potent oxidant formed by reaction of nitric oxide (NO⋅) with superoxide anion, can activate guanylyl cyclase and is able to induce vasodilation or inhibit platelet aggregation and leukocyte adhesion, via thiol-dependent formation of NO⋅. Reaction of ONOO−with thiols is thought to proceed through formation of aS-nitrothiol (thionitrate; RSNO2) intermediate and yields low levels ofS-nitrosothiols (thionitrites; RSNO), both of which are theoretical sources of NO⋅. Kinetic analysis of NO⋅production after reaction of ONOO−with GSH established that NO⋅originates exclusively from the thionitrite GSNO. Further mechanistic investigations indicated that GSNO formation by ONOO–does not occur via one-electron oxidation mechanisms. Nitrosation of GSH could theoretically proceed via intermediate formation of the thionitrate GSNO2, which, after rearrangement to the corresponding sulfenyl nitrite (GSONO), can react with GSH to form GSNO and GSOH. However, no evidence for such a mechanism was found in experiments with NO2·or with the stable nitrothioltert-butylthionitrate. Using high performance liquid chromatography with chemiluminescence detection, formation of H2O2was observed after reaction of ONOO−with GSH under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, at levels similar to the yield of GSNO, indicative of a direct nucleophilic nitrosation mechanism with elimination of HOO−. Our results indicate that ONOO−may contribute toS-nitrosationin vivoand that direct nitrosation of thiols or other nucleophilic substrates by ONOO–may represent an important and often overlooked component of NO⋅biochemistry.
