title: [Nonenzymatic glycosylation of and oxidative damage to actin in vitro and in vivo].
abstract: A study was made the influence exerted by non-enzymatic glycosylation (glycation) and oxidative destruction on structural and functional parameters of actin (free NH2-groups, advanced glycation end product and bityrosine cross-linking content, DNase inhibition by G-actin and myosin Mg(2+)-ATPase activation by F-actin). The functional properties of actin were shown to change under high molecular weight product formation and oxidative destruction: the extent of DNAase I inhibition decreases (from 70 to 40%) and the extent of myosin Mg(2+)-ATPase decreases (by 40%). Carnosine prevents actin oligomer formation and oxidative destruction which favours preservation of the protein functional properties.
