Regulation of UMSBP activities through redox-sensitive protein domains
UMSBP is a CCHC-type zinc finger protein, which functions during replication initiation of kinetoplast DNA minicircles and the segregation of kinetoplast DNA networks. Interactions of UMSBP with origin sequences, as well as the protein oligomerization, are affected by its redox state. Reduction yields UMSBP monomers and activates its binding to DNA, while oxidation drives UMSBP oligomerization ...
متن کاملProtein glutathiolation by nitric oxide: an intracellular mechanism regulating redox protein modification.
This study was designed to examine whether NO regulates protein glutathiolation. Exposure to NO donors increased protein glutathiolation in COS-7 or rat aortic smooth muscle cells as detected by anti-protein glutathione (GSH) antibodies. This process was reversible and saturable. Stimulation with acetylcholine (ACh) increased protein glutathiolation in isolated rat aortic rings. This was preven...
متن کاملRedox regulation by reversible protein S-thiolation in bacteria
Low molecular weight (LMW) thiols function as thiol-redox buffers to maintain the reduced state of the cytoplasm. The best studied LMW thiol is the tripeptide glutathione (GSH) present in all eukaryotes and Gram-negative bacteria. Firmicutes bacteria, including Bacillus and Staphylococcus species utilize the redox buffer bacillithiol (BSH) while Actinomycetes produce the related redox buffer my...
متن کاملRedox Regulation of Protein Function via Cysteine S-Nitrosylation and Its Relevance to Neurodegenerative Diseases
Debilitating neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD), can be attributed to neuronal cell damage in specific brain regions. An important hallmark of these diseases is increased oxidative and nitrosative stress that occurs via overproduction of highly reactive free radicals known as reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS)...
متن کاملOxidoreduction of protein thiols in redox regulation.
Protein cysteines can undergo various forms of oxidation, some of them reversible (disulphide formation, glutathionylation and S-nitrosylation). While in the past these were viewed as protein damage in the context of oxidative stress, there is growing interest in oxidoreduction of protein thiols/disulphides as a regulatory mechanism. This review discusses the evolution of the concept of redox r...
