Drug binding to Sudlow's site I impairs allosterically human serum heme-albumin-catalyzed peroxynitrite detoxification

IUBMB Life. 2010 Oct;62(10):776-80. doi: 10.1002/iub.381.

Abstract

Heme endows human serum albumin (HSA) with globin-like reactivity and spectroscopic properties. Here, the effect of chlorpropamide, digitoxin, furosemide, indomethacin, phenylbutazone, sulfisoxazole, tolbutamide, and warfarin on peroxynitrite isomerization to NO(3) (-) by ferric HSA-heme (HSA-heme-Fe(III)) is reported. Drugs binding to Sudlow's site I impair dose-dependently peroxynitrite isomerization by HSA-heme-Fe(III). The allosteric modulation of HSA-heme-Fe(III)-mediated peroxynitrite isomerization by drugs has been ascribed to the pivotal role of Tyr150, a residue that either provides a polar environment in Sudlow's site I or protrudes into the heme cleft (i.e., the fatty acid site 1, FA1), depending on ligand occupancy of either sites.
