Abstract excerpt
Nitric-oxide synthases (NOS) are abundant in the respiratory epithelium and generate the NO radical, which can activate guanylate cyclase, react with superoxide, or modify proteins by S-nitrosylation (SNO) of Cys thiols. There is increasing appreciation that SNO modification is analogous to phosphorylation, because both signaling mechanisms modulate a wide range of cellular functions. Zaman et al. (p. 1435) in...
