S-Nitrosylation of Surfactant Protein-D Controls Inflammatory Function
The pulmonary collectins, surfactant proteins A and D (SP-A and SP-D) have been implicated in the regulation of the innate immune system within the lung. In particular, SP-D appears to have both pro- and anti-inflammatory signaling functions. At present, the molecular mechanisms involved in switching between these functions remain unclear. SP-D differs in its quaternary structure from SP-A and ...
متن کاملS-Nitrosylation of NSF Controls Membrane Trafficking
Nitric oxide is a diffusible molecule with profound effects on regulated exocytosis in several biological systems-however, the molecular targets remain elusive. In this issue of Cell, Matsushita et al. report that in aortic endothelial cells, S-nitrosylation of NSF, an ATPase essential for the activation of the membranefusion machinery, inhibits the exocytosis of Weibel-Palade bodies, secretory...
متن کاملProtein S-nitrosylation and cardioprotection.
Nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role in the regulation of cardiovascular function. In addition to the classic NO activation of the cGMP-dependent pathway, NO can also regulate cell function through protein S-nitrosylation, a redox dependent, thiol-based, reversible posttranslational protein modification that involves attachment of an NO moiety to a nucleophilic protein sulfhydryl group. Th...
متن کاملImmune reconstitution during Pneumocystis lung infection: disruption of surfactant component expression and function by S-nitrosylation.
Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP), the most common opportunistic pulmonary infection associated with HIV infection, is marked by impaired gas exchange and significant hypoxemia. Immune reconstitution disease (IRD) represents a syndrome of paradoxical respiratory failure in patients with active or recently treated PCP subjected to immune reconstitution. To model IRD, C57BL/6 mice were selectively dep...
متن کاملS-nitrosylation inhibits pannexin 1 channel function.
S-nitrosylation is a post-translational modification on cysteine(s) that can regulate protein function, and pannexin 1 (Panx1) channels are present in the vasculature, a tissue rich in nitric oxide (NO) species. Therefore, we investigated whether Panx1 can be S-nitrosylated and whether this modification can affect channel activity. Using the biotin switch assay, we found that application of the...
