title: 1,3-Butadiene oxidation by human myeloperoxidase. Role of chloride ion in catalysis of divergent pathways.
abstract: 1,3-Butadiene was oxidized by human myeloperoxidase in the absence of KCl to yield butadiene monoxide (BM) and crotonaldehyde (CA), but at KCl concentrations higher than 50 mM, 1-chloro-2-hydroxy-3-butene (CHB) was the major metabolite detected; metabolite formation was dependent on incubation time, pH, KCl, 1,3-butadiene, and H2O2 concentrations. The data are best explained by 1,3-butadiene being oxidized by myeloperoxidase by two different mechanisms. First, oxygen transfer from the hemoprotein would occur to either C-1 or C-4 of 1,3-butadiene to form an intermediate which may cyclize to form BM or undergo a hydrogen shift to form 3-butenal, an unstable precursor of CA. Further evidence for this mechanism was provided by the inability to detect methyl vinyl ketone, a possible product of an oxygen transfer reaction to C-2 or C-3 of 1,3-butadiene, and by the finding that CA was not simply a decomposition product of BM under assay conditions. In the second mechanism, however, chloride ion is oxidized by myeloperoxidase to HOCl which reacts with 1,3-butadiene to yield CHB. Further evidence for this mechanism was provided by the finding that CHB was readily formed when 1,3-butadiene was added to the filtrate of a myeloperoxidase/H2O2/KCl incubation and when 1,3-butadiene was allowed to react with authentic HOCl. In addition, CHB was not detected when BM or CA was incubated with myeloperoxidase, H2O2, and KCl for up to 60 min, or when 1,3-butadiene and KCl were incubated with chloroperoxidase and H2O2 or with mouse liver microsomes and NADPH, enzyme systems which catalyze 1,3-butadiene oxidation to BM and CA, but unlike myeloperoxidase, do not catalyze chloride ion oxidation to HOCl. These results provide clear evidence for novel olefinic oxidation reactions by myeloperoxidase.
