Genetically Encoded Protein Tyrosine Nitration in Mammalian Cells. [PDF]
Tyrosine nitration has served as a major biomarker for oxidative stress and is present in high abundance in over 50 disease pathologies in humans. While data mounts on specific disease pathways from specific sites of tyrosine nitration, the role of these

Involvement of Non-Muscle Myosin Light Chain Kinase Nitration in Molecular Regulation of Inflammation-Induced Endothelial Cell Barrier Dysfunction [PDF]
Endothelial cell (EC) barrier integrity is tightly regulated by the activity of the non-muscle myosin light chain kinase (nmMLCK) under diverse pathological inflammatory conditions (pneumonia, sepsis) and exposure to mechanical stress.

Manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) catalyzes NO-dependent tyrosine residue nitration [PDF]
The peroxynitrite-induced nitration of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) tyrosine residue, which causes enzyme inactivation, is well established.

C-Terminal Tyrosine Residue Modifications Modulate the Protective Phosphorylation of Serine 129 of α-Synuclein in a Yeast Model of Parkinson's Disease. [PDF]
Parkinson´s disease (PD) is characterized by the presence of proteinaceous inclusions called Lewy bodies that are mainly composed of α-synuclein (αSyn).

Adaptive mitochondrial mechanisms allow mitochondrial resilience and prevent the worsening of fibrosis, while deregulation of these mechanisms promotes the progression from no/minimal‐mild (F0‐F2) fibrosis to advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis (F3‐F4). Abstract Background and Aims Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection causes oxidative stress (OS) and alters ...

Protein tyrosine nitration [PDF]
Nitric oxide metabolism in plant cells has a relative short history. Nitration is a chemical process which consists of introducing a nitro group (-NO(2)) into a chemical compound. In biological systems, this process has been found in different molecules such as proteins, lipids and nucleic acids that can affect its function.

Nitration and Inactivation of Tyrosine Hydroxylase by Peroxynitrite [PDF]
Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is modified by nitration after exposure of mice to 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophenylpyridine. The temporal association of tyrosine nitration with inactivation of TH activity in vitro suggests that this covalent post-translational modification is responsible for the in vivo loss of TH function (Ara, J., Przedborski, S.,

Mechanisms of Peroxynitrite-Mediated Nitration of Tyrosine [PDF]
The mechanisms of tyrosine nitration by peroxynitrous acid or nitrosoperoxycarbonate were investigated with the CBS-QB3 method. Either the protonation of peroxynitrite or a reaction with carbon dioxide gives a reactive peroxide intermediate. Peroxynitrous acid-mediated nitration of phenol occurs via unimolecular decomposition to give nitrogen dioxide ...

Angiotensin II inhibits insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation and Akt activation through tyrosine nitration-dependent mechanisms. [PDF]
Angiotensin II (Ang II) plays a major role in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and diabetes by inhibiting insulin's metabolic and potentiating its trophic effects.
