Abstract

Glucosone has been identified as the main intermediate sugar moiety product of the copper(II)-catalysed autoxidation of the Amadori compound [Kawakishi, Tsunehiro & Uchida (1991) Carbohydr. Res. 211, 167-171]. Oxidative fragmentation of the model protein, especially selective degradation of the histidine residue in protein or peptides mediated by the copper(II)-catalysed autoxidation of glucosone, is discussed in this paper. The oxidative damage to protein could be retarded by catalase (EC 1.11.1.16) and EDTA, while superoxide dismutase (EC 1.15.1.1) and hydroxyradical scavengers showed little effect. Through the process of the oxidative degradation of N-benzoylhistidine and other histidine-containing peptides, the oxidation of the imidazole ring in histidine caused by the glucosone-copper(II) system was the same as that by the ascorbate-copper(II) system. These facts suggest that the copper-catalysed autoxidation of glucosone could generate some active-oxygen species causing oxidative damage to protein similar to that caused by the ascorbate-copper(II) system.
