S-nitrosation as a redox-based posttranslational modification of protein cysteine has emerged as an integral part of signaling pathways of nitric oxide across all types of organisms. Protein S-nitrosation status is controlled by two key mechanisms: by direct denitrosation performed by the thioredoxin/thioredoxin reductase system, and in an indirect way mediated by S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR). GSNOR, which has been identified as a key component of S-nitrosothiols catabolism, catalyzes an irreversible decomposition of abundant intracellular S-nitrosothiol, S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) to oxidized glutathione using reduced NADH cofactor. In plants, GSNOR has been shown to play important roles in plant growth and development and plant responses to abiotic and biotic stress stimuli. In this chapter, optimized protocols of spectrophotometric measurement of GSNOR enzymatic activity and activity staining in native polyacrylamide gels in plant GSNOR are presented.

While iron (Fe) is essential for life and plays important roles for almost all growth related processes, it can trigger cell death in both animals and plants. However, the underlying mechanisms for Fe-induced cell death in plants remain largely unknown. S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) has previously been reported to regulate nitric oxide homeostasis to prevent Fe-induced cell death within root meristems.

Aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs) constitute a group of enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids. The human ALDH superfamily, including 19 different isoenzymes (ALDH1A1, ALDH1A2, ALDH1A3, AHDH1B1, ALDH1L1, ALDH1L2, ALDH2, ALDH3A1, ALDH3A2, ALDH3B1, ALDH3B2, ALDH4A1, ALDH5A1, ALDH6A1, ALDH7A1, ALDH8A1, ALDH9A1, ALDHA16A1, ALDH18A1), displays different key physiological and toxicological functions, with specific tissue expression and substrate specificity. Several studies have established that ALDH are interesting markers for the identification and quantification of human hematopoietic stem cells and cancer stem cells, notably leukemic stem cells.

Nitrogen fixation in legume nodules is crucial for plant growth and development. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effects of nitric oxide [S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO)] and silicon [sodium metasilicate (Si)], both individually and in combination, on soybean growth, nodule formation, leghaemoglobin (Lb) synthesis, and potential post-translational modifications. At the V1 stage, soybean plants were treated for 2 weeks with 150 µM GSNO, and Si at concentrations of 1 mM, 2 mM, and 4 mM.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has the highest incidence of all common neurological disorders, along with high mortality and disability rates. Pathological conversion of excess nitric oxide (NO) to S-nitrosoglutathion (GSNO) after TBI leads to high S-nitrosylation of intracellular proteins, causing nitrative stress. GSNO reductase (GSNOR) plays an important role by regulating GSNO and SNO-proteins (PSNOs) and as a redox regulator of the nervous system.
