Dynamic control of thioredoxin (Trx) oxidoreductase activity is essential for balancing the need of cells to rapidly respond to oxidative/nitrosative stress and to temporally regulate thiol-based redox signaling. We have previously shown that cytokine stim ...

S-nitrosylation of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) on the p65 subunit of the p50/p65 heterodimer inhibits NF-κB DNA binding activity. We have recently shown that p65 is constitutively S-nitrosylated in the lung and that LPS-induced injury elicits a decrease in S ...

The cytokine-inducible isoform of nitric oxide synthase (NOS2) is constitutively expressed in human respiratory epithelia and is upregulated in inflammatory lung disease. Here, we sought to better define the protein interactions that may be important for N ...

The analysis of airway fluid, as sampled by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), provides a minimally invasive route to interrogate lung biology in health and disease. Here, we used immunodepletion, coupled with gel- and label-free LC-MS/MS, for quantitation of t ...

S-nitrosylation, the covalent attachment of a nitrogen monoxide group to the thiol side chain of cysteine, has emerged as an important mechanism for dynamic, post-translational regulation of most or all main classes of protein. S-nitrosylation thereby conv ...

Nitrosative stress produced by cytokines predisposes to apoptotic cell death. However, the molecular mechanism by which this occurs is not well understood. We have shown previously that nitric oxide (NO) regulates the activity of the anti-apoptotic transcr ...

It is not clear if redox regulation of transcription is the consequence of direct redox-related modifications of transcription factors, or if it occurs at some other redox-sensitive step. One obstacle has been the inability to demonstrate redox-related mod ...
