Abstract excerpt
S-nitrosylation is a post-translational modification on cysteine(s) that can regulate protein function, and pannexin 1 (Panx1) channels are present in the vasculature, a tissue rich in nitric oxide (NO) species. Therefore, we investigated whether Panx1 can be S-nitrosylated and whether this modification can affect channel activity. Using the biotin switch assay, we found that application of the NO donor...
