Abstract:
Nitric oxide (NO), well known as the endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF), has become increasingly recognized as an important determinant of cardiovascular diseases. A molecular pathway by which NO accomplishes various biochemical processes is the cGMP-independent post-translational modification of protein, S-nitrosylation. Here we review the biochemistry and regulating mechanisms of NO-related S-nitrosylation of proteins, and discuss the multiple roles of S-nitrosylation in vascular functions and pathology in particular.
