N-acetyl-p-benzoquinoneimine (NAPQI) is the metabolite responsible for acetaminophen hepatotoxicity. ADP-ribose pyrophosphatase-I (ADPRibase-I; EC 3.6.1.13) hydrolyzes protein-glycating ADP-ribose. The results show NAPQI-dependent alterations of ADPRibase-I leading to strong inhibition: a fast Km increase produced by low concentrations, and a time-dependent Vmax decrease by higher NAPQI concentrations. Both effects were prevented by thiols, but not reverted by them, nor by gel filtration of NAPQI-treated enzyme. Liver ADPRibase-I can be a target of NAPQI-dependent arylation. The inhibition or inactivation of the enzyme would contribute to increasing the free ADP-ribose concentration and nonenzymatic ADP-ribosylation, which is coherent with results linking free ADP-ribose-producing pathways to acetaminophen toxicity.
N-乙酰对苯醌亚胺(NAPQI)是对乙酰氨基酚肝毒性的代谢产物。ADP-核糖焦磷酸酶-I(ADPRibase-I;EC 3.6.1.13)可水解蛋白质糖化的ADP-核糖。结果显示,NAPQI会导致ADPRibase-I发生改变,从而产生强烈抑制作用:低浓度时会快速增加Km值,高浓度NAPQI则会使Vmax随时间降低。这两种效应均可被硫醇类物质阻止,但不能被其逆转,也不能通过对经NAPQI处理的酶进行凝胶过滤来逆转。肝脏ADPRibase-I可能是NAPQI依赖性芳基化的靶点。该酶的抑制或失活将有助于增加游离ADP-核糖的浓度以及非酶促ADP-核糖基化,这与将游离ADP-核糖产生途径与对乙酰氨基酚毒性联系起来的结果相一致。
