Cold physical plasma can effectively inactivate PLA(2) by generating reactive species, with singlet oxygen being the most relevant active agent. The dioxidation of tryptophan residues at the molecular interface leads to the loss of essential interactions for enzyme binding with phospholipids, resulting in enzyme inactivation.
Several studies have revealed that various diseases such as cancer have been associated with elevated phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) activity. Therefore, the regulation of PLA(2) catalytic activity is undoubtedly vital. In this study, effective inactivation of PLA(2) due to reactive species produced from cold physical plasma as a source to model oxidative stress is reported. We found singlet oxygen to be the most relevant active agent in PLA(2) inhibition. A more detailed analysis of the plasma-treated PLA(2) identified tryptophan 128 as a hot spot, rich in double oxidation. The significant dioxidation of this interfacial tryptophan resulted in an N-formylkynurenine product via the oxidative opening of the tryptophan indole ring. Molecular dynamics simulation indicated that the efficient interactions between the tryptophan residue and phospholipids are eliminated following tryptophan dioxidation. As interfacial tryptophan residues are predominantly involved in the attaching of membrane enzymes to the bilayers, tryptophan dioxidation and indole ring opening leads to the loss of essential interactions for enzyme binding and, consequently, enzyme inactivation.
