Here we report the S-nitrosation identification of ten sGC SNO-Cys in rat neonatal cardiomyocytes using an Orbitrap MS. A majority of the SNO-Cys Biotin switch identified is located at the solvent-exposed surface of the sGC, and half of them in the conserved catalytic domain, Tandem mass spectrometry suggesting biological significance.

This study examines a non-iontophoretic technique for transdermal microvascular studies using acetylcholine and nitroglycerin and demonstrates a relatively impaired vasodilatory response to these substances in a population with known microvascular pathology.

Forrester 2009 Abstract Protein S-nitrosylation—the post-translational modification of cysteine thiols into S-nitrosothiols—is a principle mechanism of nitric oxide-based signaling. Studies have demonstrated myriad roles for S-nitrosylation in organisms from bacteria to humans, and recent efforts have begun to elucidate how this redox-based modification is regulated during physiological and pathophysiological conditions. This doctoral thesis is focused on the 1) analysis of existing methodologies for the detection of protein S-nitrosylation; 2) development of new methodologies for the detection of protein S-nitrosylation and 3) discovery of novel enzymatic mechanisms by which S-nitrosylation is regulated in vivo.

Chapel Hill 2014 Approved by: Mark H. Schoenfisch Royce W. Murray James W. Jorgenson Bruce A. Cairns Robert Maile © 2014 Rebecca Anne Hunter ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT REBECCA ANNE HUNTER: Electrochemical Detection of Nitric Oxide from Biological Systems (Under the direction of Mark H. Schoenfisch) Nitric oxide (NO) is known to be involved in a number of physiological processes, including the immune response. As such, its role in severe infection and sepsis has been investigated, but previous measurement techniques have relied on complicated instrumentation or the quantification of NO byproducts (e.g., nitrate and nitrite). Herein, the fabrication of a microfluidic amperometric sensor for the direct detection of NO in whole blood is described. These sensors were used to evaluate the potential of NO and nitrosothiols (a stable transporter) as prognostic and/or diagnostic biomarkers for infection and sepsis. The microfluidic devices facilitated the selective electrochemical measurement of NO in small volumes of blood at the point-of-care, with adequate sensitivity and limits of detection achieved in buffer, wound fluid, and whole blood. A green (530 nm) light-emitting diode was coupled to the device to enable photolysis of S-nitrosothiol species with subsequent NO detection. While inefficient photolysis prevented the measurement of nitrosothiols in whole blood, detection in serum was achieved.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of sodium nitroprusside (SNP) on germination, antioxidative system and lipid peroxidation of Senna macranthera seeds under saline stress. The osmotic potentials of -0.4 and -0.5 MPa of NaCl were used, as well as the concentration of 100 μM of sodium nitroprusside, inactive sodium nitroprusside. Germination rate, imbibition curves, antioxidant enzyme activity, lipid peroxidation, and protein content were evaluated. Similar effects were observed for sodium nitroprusside and inactive sodium nitroprusside, indicating that these effects were related to the release of the cyanide present in sodium nitroprusside. The sodium nitroprusside (SNP) improves the germination of Senna macranthera seeds under salt stress conditions, through release of cyanide. The cyanide favored germination, reducing lipid peroxidation and increasing the activity of the antioxidant enzymes. Index terms: antioxidant enzymes, NaCl, nitric oxide, salinity.
