Protein tyrosine nitration by oxidative and nitrate stress is important in the pathogenesis of many inflammatory or aging-related diseases. Mass spectrometry analysis of protein nitrotyrosine is very challenging because the non-nitrated peptides suppress the signals of the low-abundance nitrotyrosine (NT) peptides. No validated methods for enrichment of NT-peptides are currently available. Here we report an immunoaffinity enrichment of NT-peptides for proteomics analysis. The effectiveness of this approach was evaluated using nitrated protein standards and whole-cell lysates in vitro. A total of 1881 NT sites were identified from a nitrated whole-cell extract, indicating that this immunoaffinity-MS method is a valid approach for the enrichment of NT-peptides, and provides a significant advance for characterizing the nitrotyrosine proteome. We noted that this method had higher affinity to peptides with N-terminal nitrotyrosine relative to peptides with other nitrotyrosine locations, which raises the need for future study to develop a pan-specific nitrotyrosine antibody for unbiased, proteome-wide analysis of tyrosine nitration. We applied this method to quantify the changes in protein tyrosine nitration in mouse lungs after intranasal poly(I:C) treatment and quantified 237 NT sites. This result indicates that the immunoaffinity-MS method can be used for quantitative analysis of protein nitrotyrosines in complex samples.

Glutamine synthetase (GS) plays a crucial role in the homeostasis of the glutamate-glutamine cycle in the brain. Hypoactive GS causes depressive behaviors. Under chronic stress, GS has no change in expression, but its activity is decreased due to nitration of tyrosine (Tyr).

The amyloid aggregation of hIAPP and the increased level of oxidative stress are closely related to the occurrence and development of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Protein tyrosine nitration is a common post-translational modification under oxidative stress conditions. We previously found that tyrosine nitrated hIAPP (3-NT-hIAPP) has higher cytotoxicity than wild type hIAPP.

Article Synopsis
- Protein crosslinks caused by oxidative stress are linked to diseases like atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's, but their specific nature and locations in proteins remain unclear.
- A new method utilizing "light" and "heavy" isotope-labeled reagents for efficient amine labeling of crosslinked peptides has shown improved identification and quantification over previous techniques.
- This approach has led to the successful identification of novel crosslinks in proteins like β-casein and α-synuclein, as well as effective mapping of disulfide bonds in serum albumin, highlighting its versatility for studying protein modifications.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of Protein kinase B (PKB)/AKT nitration in myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury (MIRI) and how resveratrol (RSV) may protect heart cells during this process.
- The researchers used mouse models and H9c2 cell lines to analyze the effects of interventions like RSV and inhibitors on AKT nitration and cardiomyocyte apoptosis caused by ischemia.
- Results showed that AKT nitration, which leads to reduced AKT activity and increased heart cell death, was decreased, and AKT phosphorylation increased when treated with RSV and other inhibitors, indicating RSV's potential protective effects against heart damage in MIRI.

Thyroid hormones play an important morphogenetic role during the fetal and neonatal periods and regulate numerous metabolic processes. In the central nervous system, they control myelination and overall brain development, regional gene expression, and regulation of oxygen consumption. Their deficiency in the fetal and neonatal periods causes severe mental retardation, due to lack of thyroid function, or to iodine deficiency.
