Abstract

Nitric oxide (NO) generated by diethylamine nonoate (DEA/NO), an NO donor, readily oxidized the free sulfhydryl group of human serum albumin (HSA) as well as the sulfhydryl groups of reduced glutathione (GSH) and dithiothreitol (DTT) at pH 7.4 and 37 degrees C. Under anaerobic conditions, the major products of the oxidation of HSA thiol by NO were the sulfenic acid (RSOH) of HSA and nitrous oxide (N2O). The stoichiometry for this reaction, viz., 1 mol of HSA sulfhydryl oxidized to 1 mol of N2O produced, is consistent with a net two-electron oxidation of the protein thiol to a sulfenic acid. The sulfenic acid product of HSA was shown to react with dimedone and GSH, two known reactions of sulfenic acids. In contrast, anaerobic oxidation of GSH and DTT by NO gave a stoichiometry close to the expected ratio of 2:1 (sulfhydryl oxidized to N2O produced) for the oxidation of these thiols to their disulfides and N2O. Under aerobic conditions, significant fractions of the sulfhydryl groups of HSA, GSH, and DTT were oxidized to their respective thionitrites, presumably by N2O3. Thionitrite formation was not observed in the absence of oxygen. The production of HSA-sulfenic acid by NO, as well as by other oxidizing agents such as H2O2 and ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
