Protein Thiol Modifications Visualized In Vivo
Thiol-disulfide interconversions play a crucial role in the chemistry of biological systems. They participate in the major systems that control the cellular redox potential and prevent oxidative damage. In addition, thiol-disulfide exchange reactions serve as molecular switches in a growing number of redox-regulated proteins. We developed a differential thiol-trapping technique combined with tw...
متن کاملExploiting Thiol Modifications
1714 As the premier biological electron acceptor, molecular oxygen (O2) serves a vital role in fundamental cellular functions, including the process of aerobic respiration. Nevertheless, with the benefi cial properties of O2 comes the inadvertent formation of reactive oxygen species, including superoxide (O2 −), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and hydroxyl radical (•OH); these differ from O2 in havin...
متن کاملProtein Thiol Modification and Thiol Proteomics
Cysteine plays an important role in the regulation of redox chemistry and gene expression and is essential in the structural and macromolecular organisation of proteins. Thiol oxidation leads to misfolding and the influencing of the protein function (Buczek et al., 2007). In our experiments, we have identified an oxidised cytoskeletal protein actin involved in the rearrangement of filament in t...
متن کاملProtein Tyrosine Nitration and Thiol Oxidation by Peroxynitrite—Strategies to Prevent These Oxidative Modifications
The reaction product of nitric oxide and superoxide, peroxynitrite, is a potent biological oxidant. The most important oxidative protein modifications described for peroxynitrite are cysteine-thiol oxidation and tyrosine nitration. We have previously demonstrated that intrinsic heme-thiolate (P450)-dependent enzymatic catalysis increases the nitration of tyrosine 430 in prostacyclin synthase an...
متن کاملFluid flow in the juxtaglomerular interstitium visualized in vivo.
Earlier electron microscopy studies demonstrated morphological signs of fluid flow in the juxtaglomerular apparatus (JGA), including fenestrations of the afferent arteriole (AA) endothelium facing renin granular cells. We aimed to directly visualize fluid flow in the JGA, the putative function of the fenestrated endothelium, using intravital multiphoton microscopy of Munich-Wistar rats and C57B...
