Background: Nitric oxide and Reactive Nitrogen Species are known to effect tumorigenicity. GSNO is one of the main NO carrying signalling moiety in cell. In the current study, we tried to delve into the effect of GSNO induced nitrosative stress in three different myelogenous leukemic K562, U937 and THP-1 cell lines.

Protein tyrosine nitration (PTN), a highly selective post translational modification, occurs in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells under nitrosative stress. However, its physiological function is not yet clear. Like many gut pathogens, Vibrio cholerae also faces nitrosative stress, which makes its proteome more vulnerable to PTN.

Induction of nitrosative stress has been observed in various cancer types and in tumor environment. However, it is still unclear how cancer cells combat the effect of nitrosative stress. The main targets of nitrosative stress in cells are cellular lipids, proteins and DNA.

Protein tyrosine nitration (PTN) is a selective post-translational modification often associated with physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Tyrosine is modified in the 3-position of the phenolic ring through the addition of a nitro group. In our previous study we first time showed that PTN occurs in vivo in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
