Neutrophils orchestrate a coordinated attack on bacteria, combining phagocytosis with a potent cocktail of oxidants, including the highly toxic hypochlorous acid (HOCl), renowned for its deleterious effects on proteins. Here, we examined the occurrence of lipid N-chloramines in vivo, their biological activity and neutralization. Using a chemical probe for N-chloramines, we demonstrate their formation in the membranes of bacteria and monocytic cells exposed to physiologically relevant concentrations of HOCl. N-chlorinated model membranes composed of phosphatidylethanolamine, the major membrane lipid in Escherichia coli and an important component of eukaryotic membranes, exhibited oxidative activity towards the redox-sensitive protein roGFP2, suggesting a role for lipid N-chloramines in protein oxidation. Conversely, the cellular antioxidant glutathione neutralized lipid N-chloramines by removing the chlorine moiety. We propose that lipid N-chloramines, like protein N-chloramines, are involved in inflammation and accelerate the host immune response.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
