Abstract

Tyrosine nitration is a covalent posttranslational protein modification derived from the reaction of proteins with nitrating agents. Protein nitration appears to be a selective process since not all tyrosine residues in proteins or all proteins are nitrated in vivo. To investigate factors that may determine the biological selectivity of protein tyrosine nitration, we developed an in vitro model consisting of three proteins with similar size but different three-dimensional structure and tyrosine content. Exposure of ribonuclease A to putative in vivo nitrating agents revealed preferential nitration of tyrosine residue Y(115). Tyrosine residue Y(23) and to a lesser extent residue Y(20) were preferentially nitrated in lysozyme, whereas tyrosine Y(102) was the only residue modified by nitration in phospholipase A(2). Tyrosine Y(115) was the residue modified by nitration after exposure of ribonuclease A to different nitrating agents: chemically synthesized peroxynitrite, nitric oxide, and superoxide generated by SIN-1 or myeloperoxidase (MPO)/H(2)O(2) plus nitrite (NO(-2)) in the presence of bicarbonate/CO(2). The nature of the nitrating agent determined in part the protein that would be predominantly modified by nitration in a mixture of all three proteins. Ribonuclease A was preferentially nitrated upon exposure to MPO/H(2)O(2)/NO(-2), whereas phospholipase A(2) was the primary target for nitration upon exposure to peroxynitrite. The data also suggest that the exposure of the aromatic ring to the surface of the protein, the location of the tyrosine on a loop structure, and its association with a neighboring negative charge are some of the factors determining the selectivity of tyrosine nitration in proteins.

  • The effect of NOX1 in atherosclerosis is contradictory, with examples of improved outcomes for NOX1 deficient mice subjected to high fat diet and diabetic mouse models, whereas in other cases NOX1 deletion did not seem to have an effect.

    “The results of different studies are contradictory, with examples of improved outcomes for NOX1 deficient mice subjected to high fat diet (854) and diabetic mouse models (380), whereas in other cases, NOX1 deletion did not seem to have an effect (875).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
