Reactive Nitrogen Species and Nitrosative Stress in Plants
Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous free radical which can have two opposite physiological roles in higher plants. While a high cellular production of NO can bring about extensive cellular damage, at low levels this compound is involved as a signal molecule in many important physiological processes. NO and a family of related molecules, including peroxynitrite (ONOO), S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) and...
متن کاملNitrosative stress in cancer therapy.
Reactive nitrogen species play important roles in cell signalling, but when present at high concentrations they can subject cells to nitrosative stress, which may lead to cell death. Nitric oxide (NOx) is now recognized as playing important roles in cancer aetiology and progression and it can influence the outcome of cancer treatment. It is synthesised by the action of nitric oxide synthases (N...
متن کاملNeuro-oxidative-nitrosative stress in sepsis.
Neuro-oxidative-nitrosative stress may prove the molecular basis underlying brain dysfunction in sepsis. In the current review, we describe how sepsis-induced reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) trigger lipid peroxidation chain reactions throughout the cerebrovasculature and surrounding brain parenchyma, due to failure of the local antioxidant systems. ROS/RNS cause structural membra...
متن کاملRegulation of apoptosis by nitrosative stress.
Nitrosative stress can prevent or induce apoptosis. It occurs via S-nitrosylation by the interaction of nitric oxide (NO) with the biological thiols of proteins. Cellular redox potential and non-heme iron content determine S-nitrosylation. Apoptotic cell death is inhibited by S-nitrosylation of the redox-sensitive thiol in the catalytic site of caspase family proteases, which play an essential ...
متن کاملProtection from nitrosative stress by yeast flavohemoglobin.
Yeast hemoglobin was discovered close to half a century ago, but its function has remained unknown. Herein, we report that this flavohemoglobin protects Saccharomyces cerevisiae from nitrosative stress. Deletion of the flavohemoglobin gene (YHB1) abolished the nitric oxide (NO)-consuming activity of yeast cells. Levels of protein nitrosylation were more than 10-fold higher in yhb1 mutant yeast ...
