Protein S-nitrosation is a reversible post-translation modification critical for redox-sensitive cell signaling that is typically studied using the Biotin Switch method. This method and subsequent modifications usually require avidin binding or Western blot analysis to detect biotin labeled proteins. We describe here a modification of the Biotin Switch assay that eliminates the need for Western blot or avidin enrichment protocols and allows direct comparison of the S-nitrosation state proteins from two different samples in the same gel lane or on the same 2D gel. This S-FLOS method offers detection, identification and quantification of S-nitrosated proteins, with the potential for site-specific identification of nitrosation events.

S-Nitrosylation of NOTCH1 Regulates Mesenchymal Stem Cells Differentiation Into Hepatocyte-Like Cells by Inhibiting Notch Signalling Pathway.

The differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) is considered one of the most promising strategies for alternative hepatocyte transplantation to treat end-stage liver disease. To advance this method, it is crucial to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms governing hepatogenic differentiation. The study demonstrated that suppression of the intracellular domain release of the Notch pathway receptor via the γ-secretase inhibitor N-[(3, 5-difluorophenyl)acetyl]-L-alanyl-2-phenylglycine-1, 1-dimethylethyl ester (DAPT) significantly promotes the expression of hepatocyte-related genes and proteins in HLCs.

This work designed a DNA conformation-regulated hemin switch for rapid chemiluminescent (CL) detection of a monoclonal antibodies. This switch was performed with an affinity probe and an inhibition probe, which were conveniently prepared by hybridizing hemin-labeled DNA1 with KHL peptide-labeled DNA2 and binding biotin-labeled DNA3 to streptavidin, respectively. In the absence of the target antibody, streptavidin-DNA3 could hybridize with hemin-DNA1/KHL-DNA2 to release KHL-DNA2, which led to the loss of hemin activity due to the affinity hindrance of streptavidin-DNA3.

Article Synopsis
- Skeletal muscle atrophy is a significant issue related to type 2 diabetes, and hydrogen sulfide (HS) may help in mitigating this by regulating the Wnt signaling pathway.
- The study investigated how HS affects this pathway using C2C12 myoblasts treated with palmitate, measuring the levels of specific proteins involved in muscle regeneration.
- Findings indicated that HS alters the S-sulfhydration levels of MuRF1, which impacts the ubiquitination of PKM1 and promotes differentiation of muscle cells, highlighting a potential therapeutic role for HS in muscle atrophy linked to diabetes.

Background: Hydrogen sulfide (HS), the third gasotransmitter discovered, regulates a variety of physiological functions. Whether HS alleviates skeletal muscle ageing by regulating autophagy has not been reported.
Methods: Mice were administered 150 mg/kg/day of D-galactose (D-gal), and C2C12 myotubes were cultured in 20 g/L D-gal to induce ageing.
Nitric oxide mediates positive regulation of Nostoc flagelliforme polysaccharide yield via potential S-nitrosylation of G6PDH and UGDH.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how nitric oxide (NO) enhances polysaccharide production in Nostoc flagelliforme through a process called S-nitrosylation (SNO), which modifies certain enzymes involved in this biosynthesis.
- - It was found that certain key enzymes (G6PDH, ICDH, and UGDH) have their activity correlated with NO levels, and specific enzymes (UGDH and G6PDH) are particularly affected by SNO, as shown through various laboratory techniques.
- - The research identifies specific sites on the enzymes that are modified by NO and proposes that this mechanism could lead to improved industrial production of polysaccharides from Nostoc flagelliforme.
