Nitric oxide, peroxynitrite and lipoxygenase in atherogenesis: mechanistic insights.
Nitric oxide (*NO) is a free radical species that diffuses and concentrates in the hydrophobic core of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) to serve as a potent antioxidant. Peroxynitrite, the product of the diffusion-limited reaction between *NO and superoxide anion, as well as lipoxygenase, represent relevant mediators of oxidative modifications in LDL. The focus of this review is the analysis of in...
متن کاملStructural insights into the role of iron-histidine bond cleavage in nitric oxide-induced activation of H-NOX gas sensor proteins.
Heme-nitric oxide/oxygen (H-NOX) binding domains are a recently discovered family of heme-based gas sensor proteins that are conserved across eukaryotes and bacteria. Nitric oxide (NO) binding to the heme cofactor of H-NOX proteins has been implicated as a regulatory mechanism for processes ranging from vasodilation in mammals to communal behavior in bacteria. A key molecular event during NO-de...
متن کاملStructural and mechanistic insights into Mps1 kinase activation
Mps1 is one of the several essential kinases whose activation is required for robust mitotic spindle checkpoint signalling. The activity of Mps1 is tightly regulated and increases dramatically during mitosis or in response to spindle damage. To understand the molecular mechanism underlying Mps1 regulation, we determined the crystal structure of the kinase domain of Mps1. The 2.7-A-resolution cr...
متن کاملStructural and mechanistic insights into Helicobacter pylori NikR activation
NikR is a transcriptional metalloregulator central in the mandatory response to acidity of Helicobacter pylori that controls the expression of numerous genes by binding to specific promoter regions. NikR/DNA interactions were proposed to rely on protein activation by Ni(II) binding to high-affinity (HA) and possibly secondary external (X) sites. We describe a biochemical characterization of HpN...
متن کاملMechanistic Insights into Hsp104 Potentiation.
Potentiated variants of Hsp104, a protein disaggregase from yeast, can dissolve protein aggregates connected to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. However, the mechanisms underlying Hsp104 potentiation remain incompletely defined. Here, we establish that 2-3 subunits of the Hsp104 hexamer must bear an A503V potentiating mutation to elicit enh...
