Article Abstract

Here, we describe a procedure for the identification of S-nitrosothiols that has been used in our laboratory to study the roles of protein S-nitrosylation in the immune responses of Arabidopsis thaliana and other organisms. It employs a modified version of the biotin-switch technique, which we termed the sequential cysteine blocking technique, encompassing the sequential redox-blocking of recombinant proteins followed by LC-MS/MS analysis.

Plant fertility is fundamental to plant survival and requires the coordinated interaction of developmental pathways and signaling molecules. Nitric oxide (NO) is a small, gaseous signaling molecule that plays crucial roles in plant fertility as well as other developmental processes and stress responses. NO influences biological processes through S-nitrosation, the posttranslational modification of protein cysteines to S-nitrosocysteine (R-SNO).

S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) is the most important S-nitrosothiol in vivo, which could affect the quality of meat by participating in calcium release, glucose metabolism, proteolysis and apoptosis, therefore may potentially serve as a marker for meat freshness. In this work, a solid-phase extraction (SPE) monolithic spin column modified with gold nanoparticles was prepared for GSNO extraction. The optimized SPE-LC-MS/MS method for GSNO quantification displays low limit of detection (0.

In Alzheimer's disease (AD), dysfunctional mitochondrial metabolism is associated with synaptic loss, the major pathological correlate of cognitive decline. Mechanistic insight for this relationship, however, is still lacking. Here, comparing isogenic wild-type and AD mutant human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived cerebrocortical neurons (hiN), evidence is found for compromised mitochondrial energy in AD using the Seahorse platform to analyze glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS).

-Nitrosation is a cysteine post-translational modification fundamental to cellular signaling. This modification regulates protein function in numerous biological processes in the nervous, cardiovascular, and immune systems. Small molecule or protein nitrosothiols act as mediators of NO signaling by transferring the NO group (formally NO) to a free thiol on a target protein through a transnitrosation reaction.

S-nitrosylation is a post-translational modification in which nitric oxide (NO) binds to the thiol group of cysteine, generating an S-nitrosothiol (SNO) adduct. S-nitrosylation has different physiological roles, and its alteration has also been linked to a growing list of pathologies, including cancer. SNO can affect the function and stability of different proteins, such as the mitochondrial chaperone TRAP1.
