Journal ArticleDOI

Protein S-nitrosylation: a physiological signal for neuronal nitric oxide.

TL;DR: Protein S-nitrosylation is established as a physiological signalling mechanism for neuronally generated NO in mice harbouring a genomic deletion of neuronal NO synthase (nNOS).
Journal ArticleDOI

d-Serine is an endogenous ligand for the glycine site of the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor

TL;DR: D-serine is an endogenous modulator of the glycine site of NMDA receptors and fully occupies this site at some functional synapses and greatly attenuates NMDA receptor-mediated neurotransmission as assessed by using whole-cell patch-clamp recordings or indirectly by using biochemical assays of the sequelae of NMda receptor- mediated calcium flux.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biliverdin reductase: a major physiologic cytoprotectant.

TL;DR: It is reported that bilirubin is a major physiologic antioxidant cytoprotectant that can protect cells from a 10,000-fold excess of H2O2 and markedly augments tissue levels of reactive oxygen species and causes apoptotic cell death.
Journal ArticleDOI

S-nitrosylated GAPDH initiates apoptotic cell death by nuclear translocation following Siah1 binding

TL;DR: A signalling pathway in which nitric oxide generation that follows apoptotic stimulation elicits S-nitrosylation of GAPDH, which triggers binding to Siah1 (an E3 ubiquitin ligase), nuclear translocation and apoptosis, which is prevented by NO deletion is reported.
