Abstract
Morphine, a typical opiate, is widely used for controlling pain but can lead to various side effects with long-term use, including addiction, analgesic tolerance, and hyperalgesia. At present, however, the mechanisms underlying the development of morphine analgesic tolerance are not fully understood. This tolerance is influenced by various opioid receptor and kinase protein modifications, such as phosphorylation and ubiquitination. Here, we established a murine morphine tolerance model to investigate whether and how S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) is involved in morphine tolerance. Repeated administration of morphine resulted in the down-regulation of GSNOR, which increased excessive total protein S-nitrosation in the prefrontal cortex. Knockout or chemical inhibition of GSNOR promoted the development of morphine analgesic tolerance and neuron-specific overexpression of GSNOR alleviated morphine analgesic tolerance. Mechanistically, GSNOR deficiency enhanced S-nitrosation of cellular protein kinase alpha (PKCα) at the Cys78 and Cys132 sites, leading to inhibition of PKCα kinase activity, which ultimately promoted the development of morphine analgesic tolerance. Our study highlighted the significant role of GSNOR as a key regulator of PKCα S-nitrosation and its involvement in morphine analgesic tolerance, thus providing a potential therapeutic target for morphine tolerance.

Abstract
Hyperactivation of the NLRP3 inflammasome has been implicated in the pathogenesis of numerous diseases. However, the precise molecular mechanisms that modulate the transcriptional regulation of NLRP3 remain largely unknown. In this study, we demonstrated that S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) deficiency in macrophages leads to significant increases in the Nlrp3 and Il-1β expression levels and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) secretion in response to NLRP3 inflammasome stimulation. Furthermore, in vivo experiments utilizing Gsnor-/- mice revealed increased disease severity in both lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced septic shock and dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis models. Additionally, we showed that both LPS-induced septic shock and DSS-induced colitis were ameliorated in Gsnor-/- Nlrp3-/- double-knockout (DKO) mice. Mechanistically, GSNOR deficiency increases the S-nitrosation of mitogen-activated protein kinase 14 (MAPK14) at the Cys211 residue and augments MAPK14 kinase activity, thereby promoting Nlrp3 and Il-1β transcription and stimulating NLRP3 inflammasome activity. Our findings suggested that GSNOR is a regulator of the NLRP3 inflammasome and that reducing the level of S-nitrosylated MAPK14 may constitute an effective strategy for alleviating diseases associated with NLRP3-mediated inflammation.

Abstract
CaMKII has molecular memory functions because transient calcium ion stimuli can induce long-lasting increases in its synaptic localization and calcium ion-independent (autonomous) activity, thereby leaving memory traces of calcium ion stimuli beyond their duration. The synaptic effects of two mechanisms that induce CaMKII autonomy are well studied: autophosphorylation at threonine-286 and binding to GluN2B. Here, we examined the neuronal functions of additional autonomy mechanisms: nitrosylation and oxidation of the CaMKII regulatory domain. We generated a knock-in mouse line with mutations that render the CaMKII regulatory domain nitrosylation/oxidation-incompetent, CaMKIIΔSNO, and found that it had deficits in memory and synaptic plasticity that were similar to those in aged wild-type mice. In addition, similar to aged wild-type mice, in which CaMKII was hyponitrosylated, but unlike mice with impairments of other CaMKII autonomy mechanisms, CaMKIIΔSNO mice showed reduced long-term potentiation (LTP) when induced by theta-burst stimulation but not high-frequency stimulation (HFS). As in aged wild-type mice, the HFS-LTP in the young adult CaMKIIΔSNO mice required L-type voltage-gated calcium ion channels. The effects in aged mice were likely caused by the loss of nitrosylation because no decline in CaMKII oxidation was detected. In hippocampal neurons, nitrosylation of CaMKII induced its accumulation at synapses under basal conditions in a manner mediated by GluN2B binding, like after LTP stimuli. However, LTP-induced synaptic CaMKII accumulation did not require nitrosylation. Thus, an aging-associated decrease in CaMKII nitrosylation may cause impairments by chronic synaptic effects, such as the decrease in basal synaptic CaMKII.

Abstract
Redox post-translational modifications are derived from fluctuations in the redox potential and modulate protein function, localization, activity and structure. Amongst the oxidative reversible modifications, the S-glutathionylation of proteins was the first to be characterized as a post-translational modification, which primarily protects proteins from irreversible oxidation. However, a growing body of evidence suggests that S-glutathionylation plays a key role in core cell processes, particularly in mitochondria, which are the main source of reactive oxygen species. S-nitrosylation, another post-translational modification, was identified >150 years ago, but it was re-introduced as a prototype cell-signaling mechanism only recently, one that tightly regulates core processes within the cell’s sub-compartments, especially in mitochondria. S-glutathionylation and S-nitrosylation are modulated by fluctuations in reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and, in turn, orchestrate mitochondrial bioenergetics machinery, morphology, nutrients metabolism and apoptosis. In many neurodegenerative disorders, mitochondria dysfunction and oxidative/nitrosative stresses trigger or exacerbate their pathologies. Despite the substantial amount of research for most of these disorders, there are no successful treatments, while antioxidant supplementation failed in the majority of clinical trials. Herein, we discuss how S-glutathionylation and S-nitrosylation interfere in mitochondrial homeostasis and how the deregulation of these modifications is associated with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Friedreich’s ataxia.

Abstract
The S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) is a key denitrosating enzyme that regulates protein S-nitrosation, a process which has been found to be involved in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the physiological function of GSNOR in PD remains unknown. In a 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced PD mouse model, we found that GSNOR expression was significantly increased and accompanied by autophagy mediated by MPTP-induced cyclin dependent kinase 5 (CDK5), behavioral dyskinesias and dopaminergic neuron loss. Whereas, knockout of GSNOR, or treatment with the GSNOR inhibitor N6022, alleviated MPTP-induced PD-like pathology and neurotoxicity. Mechanistically, deficiency of GSNOR inhibited MPTP-induced CDK5 kinase activity and CDK5-mediated autophagy by increasing S-nitrosation of CDK5 at Cys83. Our study indicated that GSNOR is a key regulator of CDK5 S-nitrosation and is actively involved in CDK5-mediated autophagy induced by MPTP.

Abstract
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a disturbing neurological complication in patients undergoing anesthesia and surgical procedures. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its precursor proBDNF binding to their corresponding receptors tyrosine kinase (TrkB) and p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) exert quite an opposite biological function in neuron survival and synaptic function. This study aimed to demonstrate the critical role of the BDNF/proBDNF ratio in modulating synaptic plasticity, which further leads to anesthesia-/surgery-induced POCD. It also showed that the exogenous BDNF or p75NTR inhibitor could ameliorate cognitive dysfunction. In detail, 16-month-old C57BL/6 mice were subjected to a stabilized tibial fracture surgery with isoflurane anesthesia to establish the POCD animal model. The mice were then microinjected with either p75NTR inhibitor or exogenous BDNF into the dorsal hippocampus. Behavioral experiments were performed by open field and fear conditioning tests (FCTs). Western blotting was also used to measure the expression levels of BDNF, proBDNF, TrkB, p-TrkB, p75NTR, and synapse proteins. Golgi staining and electrophysiology were applied to evaluate the neuronal synaptic plasticity. Here, we demonstrated that anesthesia/surgery induced a reduction of BDNF/proBDNF, which negatively regulates the synaptic function in hippocampus, subsequently leading to cognitive impairment in aged mice. P75NTR inhibitor and exogenous BDNF could attenuate cognitive deficits by rescuing the dendritic spine loss and long-term potentiation (LTP) via altering the BDNF/proBDNF ratio. This study unveiled that the BDNF/proBDNF ratio in the hippocampus played a key role in anesthesia-/surgery-induced POCD. Thereby, tuning the ratio of BDNF/proBDNF is supposed to be a promising therapeutic target for POCD.

Abstract
BackgroundPerioperative neurocognitive disorders (PNDs) are common complications of surgical patients, which can lead to prolonged hospitalization, increased complications, and decreased independence and quality of life. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of PND remain largely obscure. Microglia activation and synapse loss were observed in PND. Cluster of differentiation 47 (CD47), which can bind to its receptor signal regulatory protein alpha (SIRPα) and generate “do not eat me” signal, protects synapses from excessive pruning. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the potential role of CD47–SIRPα signaling in PND.MethodsThe tibial fracture surgery was performed in aged C57BL/6 mice for PND model establishment. The expression of CD47 and SIRPα in the hippocampus was assessed. Synaptic plasticity, dendritic spine density, microglial engulfment, and hippocampal-dependent memory function were evaluated after model establishment and intervention with SIRPα overexpression.ResultsCD47 and SIRPα expression in the hippocampus were both decreased after the surgery. SIRPα overexpression showed reduced engulfment within host microglia, but a total effect of excessive synapse engulfment decreased dendritic spine density and post-synaptic density protein 95 (PSD95) expression. SIRPα overexpression could not improve the synaptic dysfunction and cognitive impairment in PND. In addition, SIRPα overexpression led to increased CD47 and Iba1 expression.ConclusionAnesthesia and surgery affect CD47–SIRPα signaling. SIRPα overexpression could not ameliorate the cognitive impairment in PND mice. One reason may be that the increased Iba1 expression leads to a total effect of excessive synapse engulfment, which results in decreased dendritic spine density and PSD95 expression.

Abstract
The age-related loss of muscle mass and muscle function known as sarcopenia is a major public health problem among older people. Recent research suggests that activation of apoptotic signaling is a critical aspect of the pathogenesis of age-related sarcopenia. However, little information exists in the literature about the apoptotic mechanism of sarcopenia in aging. Herein, we report that elevated glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) S-nitrosation and apoptosis occur in sarcopenia during natural aging and that translocation of S-nitrosated GAPDH to the nucleus and S-nitrosated GAPDH-mediated apoptosis contributed to sarcopenia. The levels and sites of GAPDH S-nitrosation in muscle tissues of young, adult and old mice were studied with a quantitative S-nitrosation proteomic analysis approach. GAPDH S-nitrosation increased with aging, and the GAPDH modification sites Cys150, Cys154 and Cys245 were identified. The upregulated S-nitrosation of GAPDH relies on inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) rather than enzymes involved in denitrosylation. Treatment with the iNOS inhibitor 1400W or mutation of GAPDH S-nitrosation sites alleviated apoptosis of C2C12 cells, further demonstrating that GAPDH S-nitrosation in aging contributes to sarcopenia. Taken together, these findings reveal a new cellular mechanism underlying age-related sarcopenia, and the demonstration of muscle loss mediated by iNOS-induced GAPDH S-nitrosation suggests a potential therapeutic strategy for sarcopenia.

Liu Q, Gu T, Su LY, Jiao L, Qiao X, Xu M, Xie T, Yang LX, Yu D, Xu L, Chen C, Yao YG. GSNOR facilitates antiviral innate immunity by restricting TBK1 cysteine S-nitrosation. Redox Biol 2021; 47:102172. [PMID: 34678655 PMCID: PMC8577438 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2021.102172] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2021] [Accepted: 10/17/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Innate immunity is the first line of host defense against pathogens. This process is modulated by multiple antiviral protein modifications, such as phosphorylation and ubiquitination. Here, we showed that cellular S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) is actively involved in innate immunity activation. GSNOR deficiency in mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) and RAW264.7 macrophages reduced the antiviral innate immune response and facilitated herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) replication. Concordantly, HSV-1 infection in Gsnor-/- mice and wild-type mice with GSNOR being inhibited by N6022 resulted in higher mortality relative to the respective controls, together with severe infiltration of immune cells in the lungs. Mechanistically, GSNOR deficiency enhanced cellular TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) protein S-nitrosation at the Cys423 site and inhibited TBK1 kinase activity, resulting in reduced interferon production for antiviral responses. Our study indicated that GSNOR is a critical regulator of antiviral responses and S-nitrosation is actively involved in innate immunity.

Abstract
Significance: The redox balance of cells provides a stable microenvironment for biological macromolecules to perform their physiological functions. As redox imbalance is closely related to the occurrence and development of a variety of diseases, antioxidant therapies are an attractive option. However, redox-based therapeutic strategies have not yet shown satisfactory results. To find the key reason is of great significance. Recent Advances: We emphasize the precise nature of redox regulation and elucidate the importance and necessity of precision redox strategies from three aspects: differences in redox status, differences in redox function, and differences in the effects of redox therapy. We then propose the "5R" principle of precision redox in antioxidant pharmacology: "Right species, Right place, Right time, Right level, and Right target." Critical Issues: Redox status must be considered in the context of species, time, place, level, and target. The function of a biomacromolecule and its cellular signaling role are closely dependent on redox status. Accurate evaluation of redox status and specific interventions are critical for the success of redox treatments. Precision redox is the key for antioxidant pharmacology. The precise application of antioxidants as nutritional supplements is also key to the general health of the population. Future Directions: Future studies to develop more accurate methods for detecting redox status and accurately evaluating the redox state of different physiological and pathological processes are needed. Antioxidant pharmacology should consider the "5R" principle rather than continuing to apply global nonspecific antioxidant treatments. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 34, 1069-1082.

Protein S-nitrosylation regulates proteostasis and viability of hematopoietic stem cell during regeneration. Cell Rep 2021; 34:108922.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) regenerate blood cells upon hematopoietic injuries. During homeostasis, HSCs are maintained in a low reactive oxygen species (ROS) state to prevent exhaustion. However, the role of nitric oxide (NO) in controlling HSC regeneration is still unclear. Here, we find increased NO during HSC regeneration with an accumulation of protein aggregation. S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR)-deleted HSCs exhibit a reduced reconstitution capacity and loss of self-renewal after chemotherapeutic injury, which is resolved by inhibition of NO synthesis. Deletion of GSNOR enhances protein S-nitrosylation, resulting in an accumulation of protein aggregation and activation of unfolded protein response (UPR). Treatment of taurocholic acid (TCA), a chemical chaperone, rescues the regeneration defect of Gsnor-/- HSCs after 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) treatment. Deletion of C/EBP homologous protein (Chop) restores the reconstitution capacity of Gsnor-/- HSCs. These findings establish a link between S-nitrosylation and protein aggregation in HSC in the context of blood regeneration.

Abstract
Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) enhances the activity of S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) and inhibits the mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) activity, resulting in prolonged and sustained pain and functional deficits. This study's objective was to test the hypotheses that GSNOR's specific inhibitor N6022 mitigates pain and improves functional recovery in a mouse model of SCI. Furthermore, the degree of recovery is enhanced and the rate of recovery is accelerated by an ALDH2 activator Alda-1. Using both wild-type and GSNOR-/- mice, the SCI model deployed for groups was contusion at the T9-T10 vertebral level. The enzymatic activity of GSNOR and ALDH2 was measured, and the expression of GSNOR and ALDH2 was determined by western blot analysis. Functional improvements in experimental animals were assessed with locomotor, sensorimotor, and pain-like behavior tests. Wild-type SCI animals had enhanced GSNOR activity and decreased ALDH2 activity, leading to neurovascular dysfunction, edema, and worsened functional outcomes, including locomotor deficits and pain. Compared to wild-type SCI mice, GSNOR-/- mice had better functional outcomes. Monotherapy with either GSNOR inhibition by N6022 or enhanced ALDH2 activity by Alda-1 correlated well with functional recovery and lessened pain. However, combination therapy provided synergistic pain-relieving effects and more significant functional recovery compared with monotherapy. Conclusively, dysregulations in GSNOR and ALDH2 are among the causative mechanisms of SCI injury. Either inhibiting GSNOR or activating ALDH2 ameliorates SCI. Combining the specific inhibitor of GSNOR (N6022) with the selective activator of ALDH2 (Alda-1) provides greater protection to the neurovascular unit and confers greater functional recovery. The study is novel, and the combination therapy (N6022 + Alda-1) possesses translational potential.

Abstract
Cell death by glutamate excitotoxicity, mediated by N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, negatively impacts brain function, including but not limited to hippocampal neurons. The NF-κB transcription factor (composed mainly of p65/p50 subunits) contributes to neuronal death in excitotoxicity, while its inhibition should improve cell survival. Using the biotin switch method, subcellular fractionation, immunofluorescence, and luciferase reporter assays, we found that NMDA-stimulated NF-κB activity selectively in hippocampal neurons, while endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), an enzyme expressed in neurons, is involved in the S-nitrosylation of p65 and consequent NF-κB inhibition in cerebrocortical, i.e., resistant neurons. The S-nitro proteomes of cortical and hippocampal neurons revealed that different biological processes are regulated by S-nitrosylation in susceptible and resistant neurons, bringing to light that protein S-nitrosylation is a ubiquitous post-translational modification, able to influence a variety of biological processes including the homeostatic inhibition of the NF-κB transcriptional activity in cortical neurons exposed to NMDA receptor overstimulation.

Abstract
Structure and/or function of proteins are frequently affected by oxidative/nitrosative stress via posttranslational modifications. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) constitute a class of ubiquitously expressed enzymes that control cellular protein homeostasis. Here, we found the activity of human mitochondrial (mt) threonyl-tRNA synthetase (hmtThrRS) is resistant to oxidative stress (H2O2) but profoundly sensitive to nitrosative stress (S-nitrosoglutathione, GSNO). Further study showed four Cys residues in hmtThrRS were modified by S-nitrosation upon GSNO treatment, and one residue was one of synthetic active sites. We analyzed the effect of modification at individual Cys residue on aminoacylation and editing activities of hmtThrRS in vitro and found that both activities were decreased. We further confirmed that S-nitrosation of mtThrRS could be readily detected in vivo in both human cells and various mouse tissues, and we systematically identified dozens of S-nitrosation-modified sites in most aaRSs, thus establishing both mitochondrial and cytoplasmic aaRS species with S-nitrosation ex vivo and in vivo, respectively. Interestingly, a decrease in the S-nitrosation modification level of mtThrRS was observed in a Huntington disease mouse model. Overall, our results establish, for the first time, a comprehensive S-nitrosation-modified aaRS network and a previously unknown mechanism on the basis of the inhibitory effect of S-nitrosation on hmtThrRS.

Abstract
Several proteins including S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR), complement Factor D, complement 3b (C3b) and Protein Kinase R-like Endoplasmic Reticulum Kinase (PERK), have been demonstrated to be involved in pathogenesis pathways for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and considered as potential treatment targets to AD. Based on the concept of multitargets, a network pharmacology-based approach was employed to investigate potential Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) candidates that can dock well with GSNOR, C3b, Factor D and PERK proteins. To predict the bioactivities of candidates, Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms composed of seven machine learning algorithms and a deep learning model were performed to validate the docking results. Furthermore, in this study, we propose a novel combined method for efficiently exploring the predicted results of AI algorithms. Besides, Comparative force field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) were performed to construct predicted models. The results show that the square correlation coefficients (R2) of all models are almost higher than 0.75, which also acquire good achievements on the test set. Moreover, the binding stability of the potential inhibitors were evaluated using 100 ns of MD simulation. Collectively, this study elucidate that the herbs Ardisia japonica, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Lippia nodiflora and Mirabilis jalapa containing 2,2'-[benzene-1,4-diylbis(methanediyloxybenzene-4,1-diyl)]bis(oxoacetic acid), Glyasperin B, Nodifloridin A, Miraxanthin III and l-Valine-l-valine anhydride might be a potential medicine formula for AD.

Abstract
Ca2+/calmodulin dependent protein kinase2α (CaMK2α) is a serine/threonine protein kinase in neurons and leads to neuronal injury when it is activated abnormally. Bupivacaine, a local anesthetic commonly used in regional nerve block, could induce neurotoxicity via apoptotic injury. Whether or not CaMK2α is involved in bupivacaine-induced neurotoxicity and it is regulated remains unclear. In this study, bupivacaine was administered for intrathecal injection in C57BL/6 mice for building vivo injury model and was used to culture human neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) cells for building vitro injury model. The results showed that bupivacaine induced mitochondrial oxidative stress and neurons apoptotic injury, promoted phosphorylation of CaMK2α and cAMP-response element binding protein (CREB), and elevated mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter (MCU) expression. Furthermore, it induced CaMK2α phosphorylation at Thr286 which phosphorylated CREB at Ser133 and up-regulated MCU transcriptional expression. Inhibition of CaMK2α-MCU signaling with knock-down of CaMK2α and MCU or with inhibitors (KN93 and Ru360) significantly mitigated bupivacaine-induced neurotoxic injury. Over-expression of CaMK2α significantly enhanced above oxidative injury. Activated MCU with agonist (spermine) reversed protective effect of siCaMK2α on bupivacaine-induced mitochondrial oxidative stress. Our data revealed that CaMK2α-MCU-mitochondrial oxidative stress pathway is a major mechanism whereby bupivacaine induces neurotoxicity and inhibition of above signaling could be a therapeutic strategy in the treatment of bupivacaine-induced neurotoxicity.

Abstract
Significance: Cysteines have an essential role in redox signaling, transforming an oxidant signal into a biological response. Among reversible cysteine post-translational modifications, S-nitrosylation acts as a redox-switch in several pathophysiological states, such as ischemia/reperfusion, synaptic transmission, cancer, and muscular dysfunctions. Recent Advances: Growing pieces of in vitro and in vivo evidence argue for S-nitrosylation being deeply involved in development and aging, and playing a role in the onset of different pathological states. New findings suggest it being an enzymatically regulated cellular process, with deep impact on mitochondrial structure and function, and in cellular metabolism. In light of this, the recent discovery of the denitrosylase S-nitrosoCoA (coenzyme A) reductase takes on even greater importance and opens new perspectives on S-nitrosylation as a general mechanism of cellular homeostasis. Critical Issues: Based on these recent findings, we aim at summarizing and elaborating on the established and emerging crucial roles of S-nitrosylation in mitochondrial metabolism and mitophagy, and provide an overview of the pathophysiological effects induced by its deregulation. Future Directions: The identification of new S-nitrosylation targets, and the comprehension of the mechanisms through which S-nitrosylation modulates specific classes of proteins, that is, those impinging on diverse mitochondrial functions, may help to better understand the pathophysiology of aging, and propose lines of intervention to slow down or extend the onset of aging-related diseases.

Abstract
Significance: S-nitrosylation, the post-translational modification by nitric oxide (NO) to form S-nitrosothiols (SNOs), regulates diverse aspects of cellular function, and aberrant S-nitrosylation (nitrosative stress) is implicated in disease, from neurodegeneration to cancer. Essential roles for S-nitrosylation have been demonstrated in microbes, plants, and animals; notably, bacteria have often served as model systems for elucidation of general principles. Recent Advances: Recent conceptual advances include the idea of a molecular code through which proteins sense and differentiate S-nitrosothiol (SNO) from alternative oxidative modifications, providing the basis for specificity in SNO signaling. In Escherichia coli, S-nitrosylation relies on an enzymatic cascade that regulates, and is regulated by, the transcription factor OxyR under anaerobic conditions. S-nitrosylated OxyR activates an anaerobic regulon of >100 genes that encode for enzymes that both mediate S-nitrosylation and protect against nitrosative stress. Critical Issues: Mitochondria originated from endosymbiotic bacteria and generate NO under hypoxic conditions, analogous to conditions in E. coli. Nitrosative stress in mitochondria has been implicated in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, among others. Many proteins that are S-nitrosylated in mitochondria are also S-nitrosylated in E. coli. Insights into enzymatic regulation of S-nitrosylation in E. coli may inform the identification of disease-relevant regulatory machinery in mammalian systems. Future Directions: Using E. coli as a model system, in-depth analysis of the anaerobic response controlled by OxyR may lead to the identification of enzymatic mechanisms regulating S-nitrosylation in particular, and hypoxic signaling more generally, providing novel insights into analogous mechanisms in mammalian cells and within dysfunctional mitochondria that characterize neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
The Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) was touted as a memory molecule, even before its involvement in long-term potentiation (LTP) was shown. The enzyme has not disappointed, with subsequent demonstrations of remarkable structural and regulatory properties. Its neuronal functions now extend to long-term depression (LTD), and last year saw the first direct evidence for memory storage by CaMKII. Although CaMKII may have taken the spotlight, it is a member of a large family of diverse and interesting CaM kinases. Our aim is to place CaMKII in context of the other CaM kinases and then review certain aspects of this kinase that are of current interest.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a highly reactive molecule, generated through metabolism of L-arginine by NO synthase (NOS). Abnormal NO levels in mammalian cells are associated with multiple human diseases, including cancer. Recent studies have uncovered that the NO signaling is compartmentalized, owing to the localization of NOS and the nature of biochemical reactions of NO, including S-nitrosylation. S-nitrosylation is a selective covalent post-translational modification adding a nitrosyl group to the reactive thiol group of a cysteine to form S-nitrosothiol (SNO), which is a key mechanism in transferring NO-mediated signals. While S-nitrosylation occurs only at select cysteine thiols, such a spatial constraint is partially resolved by transnitrosylation, where the nitrosyl moiety is transferred between two interacting proteins to successively transfer the NO signal to a distant location. As NOS is present in various subcellular locales, a stress could trigger concerted S-nitrosylation and transnitrosylation of a large number of proteins involved in divergent signaling cascades. S-nitrosylation is an emerging paradigm of redox signaling by which cells confer protection against oxidative stress.

Abstract
The biochemical pathways by which aberrant psychophysiological stress promotes neuronal damage and increases the risks for central nervous system diseases are not well understood. In light of previous findings that psychophysiological stress, modeled by animal restraint, can increase the activities and expression levels of nitric oxide synthase isoforms in multiple brain regions, we examined the effects of restraint, for up to 6 h, on levels of S-nitrosylated proteins and NOx (nitrite + nitrate), a marker for high-level nitric oxide generation, in the brains of rats. Results identify functionally-diverse protein targets of S-nitrosylation in the brain, in vivo, and demonstrate the potential for widespread loss of protein nitrosothiols following prolonged restraint despite a concomitant increase in NOx levels. Since physiological levels of protein S-nitrosylation can protect neurons by maintaining redox homeostasis, by limiting excitatory neurotransmission, and by inhibiting apoptotic and inflammatory pathways, we propose that over-activation of protein denitrosylation pathways following sustained or repeated stress may facilitate neural damage and early stages of stress-related central nervous system disease.

Abstract
The development of small molecule modulators of NO/cGMP signaling for use in the CNS has lagged far behind the use of such clinical agents in the periphery, despite the central role played by NO/cGMP in learning and memory, and the substantial evidence that this signaling pathway is perturbed in neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease. The NO-chimeras, NMZ and Nitrosynapsin, have yielded beneficial and disease-modifying responses in multiple preclinical animal models, acting on GABAA and NMDA receptors, respectively, providing additional mechanisms of action relevant to synaptic and neuronal dysfunction. Several inhibitors of cGMP-specific phosphodiesterases (PDE) have replicated some of the actions of these NO-chimeras in the CNS. There is no evidence that nitrate tolerance is a phenomenon relevant to the CNS actions of NO-chimeras, and studies on nitroglycerin in the periphery continue to challenge the dogma of nitrate tolerance mechanisms. Hybrid nitrates have shown much promise in the periphery and CNS, but to date only one treatment has received FDA approval, for glaucoma. The potential for allosteric modulation of soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) in brain disorders has not yet been fully explored nor exploited; whereas multiple applications of PDE inhibitors have been explored and many have stalled in clinical trials.
