Published: December 2022

Protein S-glutathionylation serves a regulatory role in proteins and modulates distinct biological processes implicated in health and diseases. Despite challenges in analyzing the dynamic and reversible nature of S-glutathionylation, recent chemical and biological methods have significantly advanced the field of S-glutathionylation, culminating in selective identification and detection, structural motif analysis, and functional studies of S-glutathionylation. This review will highlight emerging studies of protein glutathionylation, beginning by introducing biochemical tools that enable mass spectrometric identification and live-cell imaging of S-glutathionylation. Next, it will spotlight recent examples of S-glutathionylation regulating physiology and inflammation. Lastly, we will feature two emerging lines of glutathionylation research in cryptic cysteine glutathionylation and protein C-glutathionylation.

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia is a prevalent respiratory disorder posing a significant threat to the quality of life in premature infants. Its pathogenesis is intricate, and therapeutic options are limited. Besides genetic coding, protein post-translational modification plays a pivotal role in regulating cellular function, contributing complexity and diversity to substrate proteins and influencing various cellular processes.

Class I glutaredoxins (GRXs) are nearly ubiquitous proteins that catalyse the glutathione (GSH)-dependent reduction of mainly glutathionylated substrates. In land plants, a third class of GRXs has evolved (class III). Class III GRXs regulate the activity of TGA transcription factors through yet unexplored mechanisms.

Despite being the most relevant and critical option for managing Chagas disease, pharmacological therapy is currently limited by the availability of only two drugs, benznidazole and nifurtimox. Their effectiveness is further restricted in the chronic phase of the infection, as they induce severe side effects and require prolonged treatment. Additionally, the use of these drugs can lead to the emergence of substantial resistance problems, compounded by the potential natural resistance of some parasite isolates.

Low-input redoxomics facilitates global identification of metabolic regulators of oxidative stress in the gut.

Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in organ aging and related diseases, yet the endogenous regulators involved remain largely unknown. This work highlights the importance of metabolic homeostasis in protecting against oxidative stress in the large intestine. By developing a low-input and user-friendly pipeline for the simultaneous profiling of five distinct cysteine (Cys) states, including free SH, total Cys oxidation (Sto), sulfenic acid (SOH), S-nitrosylation (SNO), and S-glutathionylation (SSG), we shed light on Cys redox modification stoichiometries and signaling with regional resolution in the aging gut of monkeys.
