Nitric Oxide Signaling Pathway01:28

Nitric Oxide Signaling Pathway

6.3K
Nitric oxide (NO), an inorganic gas, acts as a potent second messenger in most animal and plant tissues. NO diffuses out of the cells that produce it and enters the neighboring cells to generate a downstream response. NO synthase (NOS) catalyzes NO production by the deamination of the amino acid arginine. There are three isoforms of NOS. Endothelial cells have endothelial NOS (eNOS), nerve and muscle cells have neuronal NOS (nNOS), and macrophages produce inducible NOS (iNOS) upon exposure...

Paracrine Signaling01:21

Paracrine Signaling

59.7K
Paracrine signaling allows cells to communicate with their immediate neighbors via secretion of signaling molecules. Such a signal can only trigger a response in nearby target cells because the signal molecules degrade quickly or are inactivated if not taken up. Prominent examples of paracrine signaling include nitric oxide signaling in blood vessels, synaptic signaling of neurons, the blood clotting system, tissue repair/wound healing, and local allergic skin reactions. Nitric oxide as a...

Oxidation Numbers

43.0K
In redox reactions, the transfer of electrons occurs between reacting species. Electron transfer is described by a hypothetical number called the oxidation number (or oxidation state). It represents the effective charge of an atom or element, which is assigned using a set of rules.

Pyruvate Oxidation01:15

Pyruvate Oxidation

169.2K
After glycolysis, the charged pyruvate molecules enter the mitochondria via active transport and undergo three enzymatic reactions. These reactions ensure that pyruvate can enter the next metabolic pathway so that energy stored in the pyruvate molecules can be harnessed by the cells.
First, the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase removes the carboxyl group from pyruvate and releases it as carbon dioxide. The stripped molecule is then oxidized and releases electrons, which are then picked up by NAD+...

What is Cell Signaling?

131.1K
Despite the protective membrane that separates a cell from the environment, cells need the ability to detect and respond to environmental changes. Additionally, cells often need to communicate with one another. Unicellular and multicellular organisms use a variety of cell signaling mechanisms to communicate to respond to the environment.

Area of Science:

  • Plant Biology
  • Biochemistry
  • Molecular Signaling

Background:

  • Reactive nitrogen species (RNS) and their redox signaling networks are crucial for plant growth, development, immunity, and environmental responses.
  • Specificity in plant redox signaling is achieved through a complex molecular framework involving localized redox cue production and protein structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the multilayered molecular framework underlying specificity in plant redox signaling mediated by reactive nitrogen species.
  • To highlight the roles of nascent nitrosylases, S-nitrosoglutathione reductase, and thioredoxin h5 in redox-based post-translational modifications and signaling specificity.

Main Methods:

  • The study reviews emerging evidence and existing literature on the mechanisms of RNS production, localization, and interaction with protein targets.
  • Analysis of protein tertiary structures and their role in facilitating redox-based post-translational modifications (PTMs).
  • Examination of the enzymatic activities of S-nitrosoglutathione reductase and thioredoxin h5 in reversing PTMs.

Main Results:

  • Specificity in redox signaling is achieved through localized RNS production, protein tertiary structures enabling specific PTMs, and the action of nascent nitrosylases.
  • The reversal of redox-based PTMs, particularly via S-nitrosoglutathione reductase and thioredoxin h5, significantly contributes to signaling specificity.
  • The unique chemistry of RNS and their interactions with reactive oxygen species (ROS) further refine signaling specificity.

Conclusions:

  • Plant redox signaling specificity is a sophisticated process involving multiple layers of regulation, from RNS chemistry to enzymatic control of PTMs.
  • Insights into these redox networks hold potential for future applications in agriculture, horticulture, and industrial biotechnology.
