Biological selectivity and functional aspects of protein tyrosine nitration

Ischiropoulos, Harry·2003·Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications

Abstract

The formation of nitric oxide in biological systems has led to the discovery of a number of post-translational protein modifications that could regulate protein function or potentially be utilized as transducers of nitric oxide signaling. Principal among the nitric oxide-mediated protein modifications are: the nitric oxide-iron heme binding, the S-nitrosylation of reduced cysteine residues, and the C-nitration of tyrosine and tryptophan residues. With the exception of the nitric oxide binding to heme iron proteins, the other two modifications appear to require secondary reactions of nitric oxide and the formation of nitrogen oxides. The rapid development of analytical and immunological methodologies has allowed for the quantification of S-nitrosylated and C-nitrated proteins in vivo revealing an apparent selectivity and specificity of the proteins modified. This review is primarily focused upon the nitration of tyrosine residues discussing parameters that may govern the in vivo selectivity of protein nitration, and the potential biological significance and clinical relevance of this nitric oxide-mediated protein modification.

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.
