Iron-mediated redox modulation in neural plasticity
The role of iron in brain physiology has focused on the neuropathological, effects due to iron-induced oxidative stress. However, our recent work has established a physiological relationship between the iron-mediated oxidative modification and normal neuronal function. Our results obtained from hippocampal neurons, suggest that iron-generated reactive species oxygen (ROS) are involved in calciu...
متن کاملRedox modulation of iron regulatory proteins by peroxynitrite.
Expression of several proteins of higher eukaryotes is post-transcriptionally regulated by interaction of iron-responsive elements (IREs) on their mRNAs and iron regulatory proteins (IRP1 and IRP2). IRP1 is a redox-sensitive iron-sulfur protein whose regulatory activity is modulated by iron depletion, synthesis of nitric oxide, or oxidative stress. IRP2 is closely related to IRP1, but it does n...
متن کاملSocial and neural modulation of sexual plasticity in teleost fish.
Teleost fishes are the 'champions' of sexual plasticity among vertebrates. Several species have two male reproductive morphs with distinct suites of behavioral, somatic, neuronal, endocrinological, and life history traits. Here, we consider recent studies of the social and neural modulation of sexual plasticity for such species with a focus on two neuropeptides, gonadotropin releasing hormone (...
متن کاملMussel protein adhesion depends on thiol-mediated redox modulation
Mussel adhesion is mediated by foot proteins (mfps) rich in a catecholic amino acid, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (dopa), capable of forming strong bidentate interactions with a variety of surfaces. A tendency toward facile auto-oxidation, however, often renders dopa unreliable for adhesion. We demonstrate that mussels limit dopa oxidation during adhesive plaque formation by imposing an acidic, r...
متن کاملThe neural basis of chronic pain, its plasticity and modulation
Dysfunction or injury of pain-transmitting primary afferents’ central pathways can result in pain. The organism as a whole responds to such injury and consequently many symptoms of neuropathic pain develop. The nervous system responds to painful events and injury with neuroplasticity. Both peripheral sensitization and central sensitization take place and are mediated by a number of biochemical ...
