Abstract excerpt
Thioredoxin 1 (Trx) is a known redox regulator that is implicated in the redox control of cell growth and apoptosis inhibition. Here we show that Trx is essential for maintaining the content of S-nitrosylated molecules in endothelial cells. Trx itself is S-nitrosylated at cysteine 69 under basal conditions, and this S-nitrosylation is required for scavenging reactive oxygen species and for preserving the redox...
