Abstract
Hyperthermia is a potentially lethal side effect of Methamphetamine (Meth) abuse, which involves the participation of peripheral thermogenic sites such as the Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT). In a previous study we found that the anti-oxidant N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) can prevent the high increase in temperature in a mouse model of Meth-hyperthermia. Here, we have further explored the ability of NAC to modulate Meth-induced hyperthermia in correlation with changes in BAT. We found that NAC treatment in controls causes hypothermia, and, when administered prior or upon the onset of Meth-induced hyperthermia, can ameliorate the temperature increase and preserve mitochondrial numbers and integrity, without affecting locomotor activity. This was different from Dantrolene, which decreased motor activity without affecting temperature. The effects of NAC were seen in spite of its inability to recover the decrease of mitochondrial superoxide induced in BAT by Meth. In addition, NAC did not prevent the Meth-induced decrease of BAT glutathione. Treatment with S-adenosyl-L-methionine, which improves glutathione activity, had an effect in ameliorating Meth-induced hyperthermia, but also modulated motor activity. This suggests a role for the remaining glutathione for controlling temperature. However, the mechanism by which NAC operates is independent of glutathione levels in BAT and specific to temperature. Our results show that, in spite of the absence of a clear mechanism of action, NAC is a pharmacological tool to examine the dissociation between Meth-induced hyperthermia and motor activity, and a drug of potential utility in treating the hyperthermia associated with Meth-abuse.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Redox homeostasis is essential for normal function of cells and redox imbalance has been recognised as a pathogenic factor of numerous human diseases. Oxidative modifications of cysteine thiols modulate function of many proteins, mediate signalling, and fine-tune transcriptional and metabolic processes. In this study we present the SNO/SOH TMT strategy, which enables simultaneous analysis of two different types of cysteine modification: S-nitrosylation (SNO) and S-sulfenylation (SOH). The method facilitates quantitation of modification changes corrected by changes in protein abundance levels and estimation of relative modification site occupancy in a single nLC-MSMS run. The approach was evaluated in vivo using an Escherichia coli based model of mild oxidative stress. Bacteria were grown anaerobically on fumarate or nitrate. Short-term treatment with sub-millimolar levels of hydrogen peroxide was used to induce SOH. We have identified and quantified 114 SNO and SOH modified peptides. In many instances SNO and SOH occupy the same site, suggesting an association between them. High site occupancy does not equate to a site of modification which responds to redox imbalance. The SNO/SOH TMT strategy is a viable alternative to existing methods for cysteine oxidation analysis and provides new features that will facilitate our understanding of the interplay between SNO and SOH. BIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE SNO/SOH TMT strategy outperforms other available strategies for cysteine oxidation analysis. It provides quantitative profiling of S-nitrosylation and S-sulfenylation changes simultaneously in two experimental conditions. It allows correction of modification levels by protein abundance changes and determination of relative modification site occupancy - all in a single nLC-MSMS experiment based on commercially available reagents. The method has proven precise and sensitive enough to detect and quantify endogenous levels of oxidative stress on proteome-wide scale.

Abstract
The interaction between antioxidant glutathione and the free thiol in susceptible cysteine residues of proteins leads to reversible protein S-glutathionylation. This reaction ensures cellular homeostasis control (as a common redox-dependent post-translational modification associated with signal transduction) and intervenes in oxidative stress-related cardiovascular pathology (as initiated by redox imbalance). The purpose of this review is to evaluate the recent knowledge on protein S-glutathionylation in terms of chemistry, broad cellular intervention, specific quantification, and potential for therapeutic exploitation. The data bases searched were Medline and PubMed, from 2009 to 2014 (term: glutathionylation). Protein S-glutathionylation ensures protection of protein thiols against irreversible over-oxidation, operates as a biological redox switch in both cell survival (influencing kinases and protein phosphatases pathways) and cell death (by potentiation of apoptosis), and cross-talks with phosphorylation and with S-nitrosylation. Collectively, protein S-glutathionylation appears as a valuable biomarker for oxidative stress, with potential for translation into novel therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
STAT3 is a latent transcription factor that promotes cell survival and proliferation and is often constitutively active in cancers. Although many reports provide evidence that STAT3 is a direct target of oxidative stress, its redox regulation is poorly understood. Under oxidative conditions STAT3 activity can be modulated by S-glutathionylation, a reversible redox modification of cysteine residues. This suggests the possible cross-talk between phosphorylation and glutathionylation and points out that STAT3 is susceptible to redox regulation. Recently, we reported that decreasing the GSH content in different cell lines induces inhibition of STAT3 activity through the reversible oxidation of thiol groups. In the present work, we demonstrate that GSH/diamide treatment induces S-glutathionylation of STAT3 in the recombinant purified form. This effect was completely reversed by treatment with the reducing agent dithiothreitol, indicating that S-glutathionylation of STAT3 was related to formation of protein-mixed disulfides. Moreover, addition of the bulky negatively charged GSH moiety impairs JAK2-mediated STAT3 phosphorylation, very likely interfering with tyrosine accessibility and thus affecting protein structure and function. Mass mapping analysis identifies two glutathionylated cysteine residues, Cys328 and Cys542, within the DNA-binding domain and the linker domain, respectively. Site direct mutagenesis and in vitro kinase assay confirm the importance of both cysteine residues in the complex redox regulatory mechanism of STAT3. Cells expressing mutant were resistant in this regard. The data presented herein confirmed the occurrence of a redox-dependent regulation of STAT3, identified the more redox-sensitive cysteines within STAT3 structure, and may have important implications for development of new drugs.

Abstract
Several lines of evidence suggest that schizophrenia, a severe mental illness characterized by delusions, hallucinations and thought disorder is associated with accelerated aging. The free radical (oxidative stress) theory of aging assumes that aging occurs as a result of damage to cell constituents and connective tissues by free radicals arising from oxygen-associated reactions. Schizophrenia has been associated with oxidative stress and chronic inflammation, both of which also appear to reciprocally induce each other in a positive feedback manner. The buildup of damaged macromolecules due to increased oxidative stress and failure of protein repair and maintenance systems is an indicator of aging both at the cellular and organismal level. When compared with age-matched healthy controls, schizophrenia patients have higher levels of markers of oxidative cellular damage such as protein carbonyls, products of lipid peroxidation and DNA hydroxylation. Potential confounders such as antipsychotic medication, smoking, socio-economic status and unhealthy lifestyle make it impossible to solely attribute the earlier onset of aging-related changes or oxidative stress to having a diagnosis of schizophrenia. Regardless of whether oxidative stress can be attributed solely to a diagnosis of schizophrenia or whether it is due to other factors associated with schizophrenia, the available evidence is in support of increased oxidative stress-induced cellular damage of macromolecules which may play a role in the phenomenon of accelerated aging presumed to be associated with schizophrenia.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Modification of cysteine thiols dramatically affects protein function and stability. Hence, the abilities to quantify specific protein sulfhydryl groups within complex biological samples and map disulfide bond structures are crucial to gaining greater insights into how proteins operate in human health and disease. RECENT ADVANCES Many different molecular probes are now commercially available to label and track cysteine residues at great sensitivity. Coupled with mass spectrometry, stable isotope-labeled sulfhydryl-specific reagents can provide previously unprecedented molecular insights into the dynamics of cysteine modification. Likewise, the combined application of modern mass spectrometers with improved sample preparation techniques and novel data mining algorithms is beginning to routinize the analysis of complex protein disulfide structures. CRITICAL ISSUES Proper application of these modern tools and techniques, however, still requires fundamental understanding of sulfhydryl chemistry as well as the assumptions that accompany sample preparation and underlie effective data interpretation. FUTURE DIRECTIONS The continued development of tools, technical approaches, and corresponding data processing algorithms will, undoubtedly, facilitate site-specific protein sulfhydryl quantification and disulfide structure analysis from within complex biological mixtures with ever-improving accuracy and sensitivity. Fully routinizing disulfide structure analysis will require an equal but balanced focus on sample preparation and corresponding mass spectral dataset reproducibility.

Abstract
The post-translational modification of proteins by electrophilic oxylipids is emerging as an important mechanism that contributes to the complexity of proteomes. Enzymatic and non-enzymatic oxidation of biological lipids results in the formation of chemically diverse electrophilic carbonyl compounds, such as 2-alkenals and 4-hydroxy alkenals, epoxides, and eicosanoids with reactive cyclopentenone structures. These lipoxidation products are capable of modifying proteins. Originally considered solely as markers of oxidative insult, more recently the modifications of proteins by lipid peroxidation products are being recognized as a new mechanism of cell signaling with relevance to redox homeostasis, adaptive response and inflammatory resolution. The growing interest in protein modifications by reactive oxylipid species necessitates the availability of methods that are capable of detecting, identifying and characterizing these protein adducts in biological samples with high complexity. However, the efficient analysis of these chemically diverse protein adducts presents a considerable analytical challenge. We first provide an introduction into the chemistry and biological relevance of protein adductions by electrophilic lipoxidation products. We then provide an overview of tandem mass spectrometry approaches that have been developed in recent years for the interrogation of protein modifications by electrophilic oxylipid species.

Abstract
Reversible thiol oxidation of cysteine residues occurs in many intracellular catalytic and signaling processes. Here we describe an optimized protocol, which can be completed in ∼5 d, to unambiguously identify specific cysteine residues that are transiently and reversibly oxidized by comparing two complex biological samples obtained from yeast cell cultures at the proteome level. After 'freezing' the in vivo thiol stage of cysteine residues by medium acidification, we first block reduced thiols in extracts with iodoacetamide (IAM), and then we sequentially reduce and label reversible oxidized thiols with the biotin-based heavy or light IAM derivatives, which are known as isotope-coded affinity tag (ICAT) reagents, so that the two samples can be compared at once after combination of the labeled extracts, trypsin digestion, streptavidin-affinity purification of peptides containing oxidized cysteines, and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis. For the same protein extracts, before cysteine-containing peptide enrichment, individual relative protein concentrations are obtained by stable-isotope dimethyl labeling.

Abstract
AIMS Distinctive states of redox-dependent cysteine (Cys) modifications are known to regulate signaling homeostasis under various pathophysiological conditions, including myocardial injury or protection in response to ischemic stress. Recent evidence further implicates a dynamic interplay among these modified forms following changes in cellular redox environment. However, a precise delineation of multiplexed Cys modifications in a cellular context remains technically challenging. To this end, we have now developed a mass spectrometry (MS)-based quantitative approach using a set of novel iodoacetyl-based Cys-reactive isobaric tags (irreversible isobaric iodoacetyl Cys-reactive tandem mass tag [iodoTMT]) endowed with unique irreversible Cys-reactivities. RESULTS We have established a sequential iodoTMT-switch procedure coupled with efficient immunoenrichment and advanced shotgun liquid chromatography-MS/MS analysis. This workflow allows us to differentially quantify the multiple redox-modified forms of a Cys site in the original cellular context. In one single analysis, we have identified over 260 Cys sites showing quantitative differences in multiplexed redox modifications from the total lysates of H9c2 cardiomyocytes experiencing hypoxia in the absence and presence of S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), indicative of a distinct pattern of individual susceptibility to S-nitrosylation or S-glutathionylation. Among those most significantly affected are proteins functionally implicated in hypoxic damage from which we showed that GSNO would protect. INNOVATION We demonstrate for the first time how quantitative analysis of various Cys-redox modifications occurring in biological samples can be performed precisely and simultaneously at proteomic levels. CONCLUSION We have not only developed a new approach to map global Cys-redoxomic regulation in vivo, but also provided new evidences implicating Cys-redox modifications of key molecules in NO-mediated ischemic cardioprotection.

Abstract
Aging is a gradual, complex process in which cells, tissues, organs, and the whole organism itself deteriorate in a progressive and irreversible manner that, in the majority of cases, implies pathological conditions that affect the individual's Quality of Life (QOL). Although extensive research efforts in recent years have been made, the anticipation of aging and prophylactic or treatment strategies continue to experience major limitations. In this review, the focus is essentially on the compilation of the advances generated by cellular expression profile analysis through proteomics studies (two-dimensional [2D] electrophoresis and mass spectrometry [MS]), which are currently used as an integral approach to study the aging process. Additionally, the relevance of the oxidative stress factors is discussed. Emphasis is placed on postmitotic tissues, such as neuronal, muscular, and red blood cells, which appear to be those most frequently studied with respect to aging. Additionally, models for the study of aging are discussed in a number of organisms, such as Caenorhabditis elegans, senescence-accelerated probe-8 mice (SAMP8), naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber), and the beagle canine. Proteomic studies in specific tissues and organisms have revealed the extensive involvement of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress in aging.

Abstract
S-Glutathionylation (SSG) is an important regulatory posttranslational modification on protein cysteine (Cys) thiols, yet the role of specific cysteine residues as targets of modification is poorly understood. We report a novel quantitative mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomic method for site-specific identification and quantification of S-glutathionylation across different conditions. Briefly, this approach consists of initial blocking of free thiols by alkylation, selective reduction of glutathionylated thiols, and covalent capture of reduced thiols using thiol affinity resins, followed by on-resin tryptic digestion and isobaric labeling with iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation) for MS-based identification and quantification. The overall approach was initially validated by application to RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages treated with different doses of diamide to induce glutathionylation. A total of 1071 Cys sites from 690 proteins were identified in response to diamide treatment, with ~90% of the sites displaying >2-fold increases in SSG modification compared to controls. This approach was extended to identify potential SSG-modified Cys sites in response to H2O2, an endogenous oxidant produced by activated macrophages and many pathophysiological stimuli. The results revealed 364 Cys sites from 265 proteins that were sensitive to S-glutathionylation in response to H2O2 treatment, thus providing a database of proteins and Cys sites susceptible to this modification under oxidative stress. Functional analysis revealed that the most significantly enriched molecular function categories for proteins sensitive to SSG modifications were free radical scavenging and cell death/survival. Overall the results demonstrate that our approach is effective for site-specific identification and quantification of SSG-modified proteins. The analytical strategy also provides a unique approach to determining the major pathways and cellular processes most susceptible to S-glutathionylation under stress conditions.

Abstract
Mitochondria have a myriad of essential functions including metabolism and apoptosis. These chief functions are reliant on electron transfer reactions and the production of ATP and reactive oxygen species (ROS). The production of ATP and ROS are intimately linked to the electron transport chain (ETC). Electrons from nutrients are passed through the ETC via a series of acceptor and donor molecules to the terminal electron acceptor molecular oxygen (O2) which ultimately drives the synthesis of ATP. Electron transfer through the respiratory chain and nutrient oxidation also produces ROS. At high enough concentrations ROS can activate mitochondrial apoptotic machinery which ultimately leads to cell death. However, if maintained at low enough concentrations ROS can serve as important signaling molecules. Various regulatory mechanisms converge upon mitochondria to modulate ATP synthesis and ROS production. Given that mitochondrial function depends on redox reactions, it is important to consider how redox signals modulate mitochondrial processes. Here, we provide the first comprehensive review on how redox signals mediated through cysteine oxidation, namely S-oxidation (sulfenylation, sulfinylation), S-glutathionylation, and S-nitrosylation, regulate key mitochondrial functions including nutrient oxidation, oxidative phosphorylation, ROS production, mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT), apoptosis, and mitochondrial fission and fusion. We also consider the chemistry behind these reactions and how they are modulated in mitochondria. In addition, we also discuss emerging knowledge on disorders and disease states that are associated with deregulated redox signaling in mitochondria and how mitochondria-targeted medicines can be utilized to restore mitochondrial redox signaling.

Abstract
Reversible modifications of cysteine thiols have a key role in redox signaling and regulation. A number of reversible redox modifications, including disulfide formation, S-nitrosylation (SNO) and S-glutathionylation (SSG), have been recognized for their significance in various physiological and pathological processes. Here we describe a procedure for the enrichment of peptides containing reversible cysteine modifications. Starting with tissue or cell lysate samples, all of the unmodified free thiols are blocked using N-ethylmaleimide (NEM). This is followed by the selective reduction of those cysteines bearing the reversible modification(s) of interest. The reduction is achieved by using different reducing reagents that react specifically with each type of cysteine modification (e.g., ascorbate for SNO). This protocol serves as a general approach for enrichment of thiol-containing proteins or peptides derived from reversibly modified proteins. The approach uses a commercially available thiol-affinity resin (thiopropyl Sepharose 6B) to directly capture free thiol-containing proteins through a disulfide exchange reaction, followed by on-resin protein digestion and multiplexed isobaric labeling to facilitate liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based quantitative site-specific analysis of cysteine-based reversible modifications. The overall approach requires a simpler workflow with increased specificity compared with the commonly used biotinylation-based assays. The procedure for selective enrichment and analyses of SNO and the level of total reversible cysteine modifications (or total oxidation) is presented to demonstrate the utility of this general strategy. The entire protocol requires ∼3 d for sample processing with an additional day for LC-MS/MS and data analysis.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role in normal biological functions and pathological processes. ROS is one of the driving forces for oxidizing proteins, especially on cysteine thiols. The labile, transient, and dynamic nature of oxidative modifications poses enormous technical challenges for both accurate modification site determination and quantitation of cysteine thiols. The present study describes a mass spectrometry-based approach that allows effective discovery and quantification of irreversible cysteine modifications. The utilization of a long reverse phase column provides high-resolution chromatography to separate different forms of modified cysteine thiols from protein complexes or cell lysates. This Fourier transform mass spectrometry (FT-MS) approach enabled detection and quantitation of ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) complex cysteine sulfoxidation states using Skyline MS1 filtering. When we applied the long column ultra high pressure liquid chromatography (UPLC)-MS/MS analysis, 61 and 44 peptides from cell lysates and cells were identified with cysteine modifications in response to in vitro and in vivo H2O2 oxidation, respectively. Long column ultra high pressure liquid chromatography pseudo selected reaction monitoring (UPLC-pSRM) was then developed to monitor the oxidative level of cysteine thiols in cell lysate under varying concentrations of H2O2 treatment. From UPLC-pSRM analysis, the dynamic conversion of sulfinic (S-O2H) and sulfonic acid (S-O3H) was observed within nucleoside diphosphate kinase (Nm23-H1) and heat shock 70 kDa protein 8 (Hsc70). These methods are suitable for proteome-wide studies, providing a highly sensitive, straightforward approach to identify proteins containing redox-sensitive cysteine thiols in biological systems.

Abstract
NO is a versatile free radical that mediates numerous biological functions within every major organ system. A molecular pathway by which NO accomplishes functional diversity is the selective modification of protein cysteine residues to form S-nitrosocysteine. This post-translational modification, S-nitrosylation, impacts protein function, stability, and location. Despite considerable advances with individual proteins, the in vivo biological chemistry, the structural elements that govern the selective S-nitrosylation of cysteine residues, and the potential overlap with other redox modifications are unknown. In this minireview, we explore the functional features of S-nitrosylation at the proteome level and the structural diversity of endogenously modified residues, and we discuss the potential overlap and complementation that may exist with other cysteine modifications.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite is a highly reactive chemical species with antibacterial properties that are synthesized in immune cells. In a proteomic approach, we identified specific target proteins of peroxynitrite-induced modifications in Escherichia coli. Although peroxynitrite caused a fairly indiscriminate nitration of tyrosine residues, reversible modifications of protein thiols were highly specific. We used a quantitative redox proteomic method based on isotope-coded affinity tag chemistry and identified four proteins consistently thiol-modified in cells treated with peroxynitrite as follows: AsnB, FrmA, MaeB, and RidA. All four were required for peroxynitrite stress tolerance in vivo. Three of the identified proteins were modified at highly conserved cysteines, and MaeB and FrmA are known to be directly involved in the oxidative and nitrosative stress response in E. coli. In in vitro studies, we could show that the activity of RidA, a recently discovered enamine/imine deaminase, is regulated in a specific manner by the modification of its single conserved cysteine. Mutation of this cysteine 107 to serine generated a constitutively active protein that was not susceptible to peroxynitrite.

Abstract
Protein S-nitrosylation is a dynamic post-translational modification (PTM) of specific cysteines within a target protein. Both proteins and small molecules are known to regulate the attachment and removal of this PTM, and proteins exhibiting such a function are transnitrosylase or denitrosylase candidates. With the advent of the biotin switch technique coupled to high-throughput proteomics workflows, the identification and quantification of large numbers of S-nitrosylated proteins and peptides is now possible. Proper analysis and interpretation of high throughout and quantitative proteomics data will help identify specific transnitrosylase and denitrosylase target peptide sequences and contribute to an understanding of the function and regulation of specific S-nitrosylation events. Here we describe the application of a quantitative proteomics approach using isotope-coded affinity tags (ICAT) in the biotin switch approach for the identification of transnitrosylation and denitrosylation targets of thioredoxin 1, an enigmatic protein with both reported transnitrosylase and denitrosylase activities.

Abstract
In the cardiovascular system, changes in oxidative balance can affect many aspects of cellular physiology through redox-signaling. Depending on the magnitude, fluctuations in the cell's production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species can regulate normal metabolic processes, activate protective mechanisms, or be cytotoxic. Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species can have many effects including the posttranslational modification of proteins at critical cysteine thiols. A subset can act as redox-switches, which elicit functional effects in response to changes in oxidative state. Although the general concepts of redox-signaling have been established, the identity and function of many regulatory switches remains unclear. Characterizing the effects of individual modifications is the key to understand how the cell interprets oxidative signals under physiological and pathological conditions. Here, we review the various cysteine oxidative posttranslational modifications and their ability to function as redox-switches that regulate the cell's response to oxidative stimuli. In addition, we discuss how these modifications have the potential to influence other posttranslational modifications' signaling pathways though cross-talk. Finally, we review the increasing number of tools being developed to identify and quantify the various cysteine oxidative posttranslational modifications and how this will advance our understanding of redox-regulation.

Abstract
During the last two decades the realization has emerged that the phenotype of the majority of inherited genetic diseases, including inborn errors of metabolism, cannot be predicted by the genotype identified in patients. This is true for PKU and in the majority of fatty acid oxidation (FAO) defects, where the genotypes identified in patients may be allocated into two groups. One comprising big deletions and small out-of-frame deletions/insertions as well as severe splice and stop codon changes, generally giving rise to no or very little protein product, and the other group, comprising small in-frame deletions/insertions and missense variations, resulting in misfolding proteins with varying stability. In all cases of FAO defects the pathophysiology may be due to energy insufficiency as well as toxic effects from accumulated enzyme substrates. In patients carrying missense variations, it may in addition be caused by the presence of misfolding proteins. A common effect of accumulated substrates and misfolding proteins is chronic oxidative stress, the severeness of which may depend on a complex interplay of modifying factors, including genetic, cellular, environmental and dietary. In this review we will discuss the hypothesis that especially the amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), created in connection with the electron transport chain (ETC), are the driving forces in the balance between cell survival and death. In young and healthy cells small amounts of ROS function as signaling molecules, activating cell protection systems, such as protein quality networks, antioxidant enzymes and metabolic shift from ATP production by the ETC to glycolysis. In the sick and old cell, containing misfolding and damaged proteins, the dynamic range of these protecting systems are narrowed, and cells develop a state of chronic stress, which easier than young and healthy cells may initiate cell death programs like apoptosis and necrosis. We will discuss a wealth of literature that support this hypothesis, which - if supported by studies - is important for new treatment strategies. We conclude that crude antioxidant treatment may not be beneficial, since it may inhibit the survival stress responses. We discuss the ongoing studies to enhance the residual activity of mild misfolding enzyme proteins by cofactor or chemical chaperones or by inducing the transcription of FAO enzyme proteins by bezafibrate with respect to misfolding/distorted conformational proteins ability to create ROS, and the need to know the exact pathophysiological mechanisms in order to suggest new treatment regimes.

Abstract
Tumorigenesis is always concomitant with microenvironmental alterations. The tumor microenvironment is a heterogeneous and complex milieu, which exerts a variety of stresses on tumor cells for proliferation, survival, or death. Recently, accumulated evidence revealed that metabolic and oxidative stresses both play significant roles in tumor development and progression that converge on a common autophagic pathway. Tumor cells display increased metabolic autonomy, and the hallmark is the exploitation of aerobic glycolysis (termed Warburg effect), which increased glucose consumption and decreased oxidative phosphorylation to support growth and proliferation. This characteristic renders cancer cells more aggressive; they devour tremendous amounts of nutrients from microenvironment to result in an ever-growing appetite for new tumor vessel formation and the release of more "waste," including key determinants of cell fate like lactate and reactive oxygen species (ROS). The intracellular ROS level of cancer cells can also be modulated by a variety of stimuli in the tumor microenvironment, such as pro-growth and pro-inflammatory factors. The intracellular redox state serves as a double-edged sword in tumor development and progression: ROS overproduction results in cytotoxic effects and might lead to apoptotic cell death, whereas certain level of ROS can act as a second-messenger for regulation of such cellular processes as cell survival, proliferation, and metastasis. The molecular mechanisms for cancer cell responses to metabolic and oxidative stresses are complex and are likely to involve multiple molecules or signaling pathways. In addition, the expression and modification of these proteins after metabolic or oxidative stress challenge are diverse in different cancer cells and endow them with different functions. Therefore, MS-based high-throughput platforms, such as proteomics, are indispensable in the global analysis of cancer cell responses to metabolic and oxidative stress. Herein, we highlight recent advances in the understanding of the metabolic and oxidative stresses associated with tumor progression with proteomics-based systems biology approaches.

Abstract
Beside their central function in respiration plant mitochondria play important roles in diverse processes such as redox homeostasis, provision of precursor molecules for essential biosynthetic pathways, and programmed cell death. These different functions require the organelle to communicate with the rest of the cell by perceiving, transducing, and emitting signals. As the vast majority of mitochondrial proteins are encoded in the nuclear genome, changes in mitochondrial status must be fed back to the nucleus to coordinate gene expression accordingly, a process termed retrograde signaling. However, the nature of these signaling pathways in plants and their underlying signaling molecules - or indirect metabolite or redox signals - are not completely resolved. We explore the potential of different post-translational modifications (PTMs) to contribute to mitochondrial retrograde signaling. Remarkably, the substrates used for modifying proteins in many major PTMs are either central metabolites or redox-active compounds, as for example ATP, acetyl-CoA, NAD(+), and glutathione. This suggests that the metabolic status of organelles and of the cell in general could be indirectly gaged by the enzymes catalyzing the various PTMs. We examine the evidence supporting this hypothesis with regard to three major PTMs, namely phosphorylation, lysine acetylation, and glutathionylation and assess their potential to regulate not only organellar processes by modifying metabolic enzymes but also to influence nuclear gene expression.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is frequently implicated in the pathology of neurodegenerative disease. The chief source of this stress is mitochondrial respiration, via the passage of reducing equivalents through the respiratory chain resulting in a small but potentially pathological production of superoxide. The superoxide that is produced during normal respiration is primarily detoxified within the mitochondria by superoxide dismutase 2 (Sod2), a key protein for maintaining mitochondrial function. Mitochondria are distributed throughout the soma of neurons, as well as along neuronal processes and at the synaptic terminus. This distribution of potentially independent mitochondria throughout the neuron, at distinct subcellular locations, allows for the possibility of regional subcellular deficits in mitochondrial function. There has been increasing interest in the quantification and characterization of messages and proteins at the synapse, because of its importance in neurodegenerative disease, most notably Alzheimer disease. Here, we report the transcriptomic and proteomic changes that occur in synaptosomes from frontal cortices of Sod2 null mice. Constitutively Sod2 null mice were differentially dosed with the synthetic catalytic antioxidant EUK-189, which can extend the life span of these mice, as well as uncovering or preventing neurodegeneration due to endogenous oxidative stress. This approach facilitated insight into the quantification of trafficked messages and proteins to the synaptosome. We used two complementary methods to investigate the nature of the synaptosome under oxidative stress: either whole-genome gene expression microarrays or mass spectrometry-based proteomics using isobaric tagging for relative and absolute quantitation of proteins. We characterized the relative enrichment of gene ontologies at both gene and protein expression levels that occurs from mitochondrial oxidative stress in the synaptosome, which may lead to new avenues of investigation in understanding the regulation of synaptic function in normal and diseased states. As a result of using these approaches, we report for the first time an activation of the mTOR pathway in synaptosomes isolated from Sod2 null mice, confirmed by an upregulation of the phosphorylation of 4E-BP1.

Abstract
One of the most popular and simple models for the calculation of pK(a) s from a protein structure is the semi-macroscopic electrostatic model MEAD. This model requires empirical parameters for each residue to calculate pK(a) s. Analysis of current, widely used empirical parameters for cysteine residues showed that they did not reproduce expected cysteine pK(a) s; thus, we set out to identify parameters consistent with the CHARMM27 force field that capture both the behavior of typical cysteines in proteins and the behavior of cysteines which have perturbed pK(a) s. The new parameters were validated in three ways: (1) calculation across a large set of typical cysteines in proteins (where the calculations are expected to reproduce expected ensemble behavior); (2) calculation across a set of perturbed cysteines in proteins (where the calculations are expected to reproduce the shifted ensemble behavior); and (3) comparison to experimentally determined pK(a) values (where the calculation should reproduce the pK(a) within experimental error). Both the general behavior of cysteines in proteins and the perturbed pK(a) in some proteins can be predicted reasonably well using the newly determined empirical parameters within the MEAD model for protein electrostatics. This study provides the first general analysis of the electrostatics of cysteines in proteins, with specific attention paid to capturing both the behavior of typical cysteines in a protein and the behavior of cysteines whose pK(a) should be shifted, and validation of force field parameters for cysteine residues.

Abstract
Obstacles in elucidating the role of oxidative stress in aging include difficulties in (1) tracking in vivo oxidants, in (2) identifying affected proteins, and in (3) correlating changes in oxidant levels with life span. Here, we used quantitative redox proteomics to determine the onset and the cellular targets of oxidative stress during Caenorhabditis elegans' life span. In parallel, we used genetically encoded sensor proteins to determine peroxide levels in live animals in real time. We discovered that C. elegans encounters significant levels of oxidants as early as during larval development. Oxidant levels drop rapidly as animals mature, and reducing conditions prevail throughout the reproductive age, after which age-accompanied protein oxidation sets in. Long-lived daf-2 mutants transition faster to reducing conditions, whereas short-lived daf-16 mutants retain higher oxidant levels throughout their mature life. These results suggest that animals with improved capacity to recover from early oxidative stress have significant advantages later in life.
