TL;DR

Investigation of the formation and quantitative significance of Nω-(carboxyethyl)arginine (CEA), an underexplored MGO-derived arginine adduct indicates that CEA is a reliable marker for evaluating MGO-mediated protein degeneration and dicarbonyl stress in vitro and in vivo.

Glyoxalase 1 Regulates Methylglyoxal-Derived Nucleic Acid Adduct Burden

Increased metabolic stress associated with diabetes and cancer increases the level of reactive dicarbonyl molecules that covalently modify nucleic acids. Methylglyoxal (MG), one of the most abundant endogenous dicarbonyl electrophiles, reacts with guanine bases in DNA and RNA to form covalent adducts that compromise...

Methylglyoxal as a Convergent Mediator of Diabetic Complications: Generation, Protein Targets, Tissue Distribution, and Therapeutic Reduction—A Clinically Oriented Mechanistic Synthesis

Methylglyoxal (MGO), a highly reactive 1,2-dicarbonyl, is generated by all three principal pathways of advanced glycation end product (AGE) synthesis in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)—the Hodge, Namiki, and Wolff pathways—and by the non-enzymatic degradation of glycolytic triose phosphates. It is the principal substra...

Monoclonal Antibody-Based ELISA Quantification of Serum Methylglyoxal-Derived Hydroimidazolone-1

Background/Objectives: Methylglyoxal-derived hydroimidazolone-1 (MG-H1), an advanced glycation end product, has implications in the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Although liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry is the current gold standard for quantifying MG-H1, its overall complexity limits its utilit...

Lysine iminylation derived from ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Protein posttranslational modifications (PTMs) play a central role for regulating protein function and cellular processes, with many PTMs arising from reactions with electrophilic metabolites. Here we extend the known landscape of PTMs with the identification of "lysine C3-iminylation," the conjugation of protein lysin...
