To determine if nitration of tyrosine residues by peroxynitrite (PN), which can be generated endogenously, can disrupt the phosphorylation of tyrosine residues in proteins involved in cell signaling networks, we studied the effect of PN-promoted nitration of tyrosine residues in a pentadecameric peptide, cdc2(6-20)NH2, on the ability of the peptide to be phosphorylated. cdc2(6-20)NH2 corresponds to the tyrosine phosphorylation site of p34cdc2 kinase, which is phosphorylated by lck kinase (lymphocyte-specific tyrosine kinase, p56lck). PN nitrates both Tyr-15 and Tyr-19 of the peptide in phosphate buffer (pH 7.5) at 37 degrees C. Nitration of Tyr-15. which is the phosphorylated amino acid residue, inhibits completely the phosphorylation of the peptide. The nitration reaction is enhanced by either Fe(III)EDTA or Cu(II)-Zn(II)-superoxide dismutase (Cu,Zn-SOD). The kinetic data are consistent with the view that reactions of Fe(111)EDTA or Cu,Zn-SOD with the cis form of PN yield complexes in which PN decomposes more slowly to form N02+, the nitrating agent. Thus, the nitration efficiency of PN is enhanced. These results are discussed from the point of view that PN-promoted nitration will result in permanent impairment of cyclic cascades that control signal transduction processes and regulate cell cycles.
