For the past 20 years, nitric oxide (NO) has established itself as a gaseous free radical with crucial and unpredicted roles in a wide spectrum of biological functions and organisms. We present here a case whereby NO-mediated signaling can be broadly classified into classical (cGMP-mediated) and nonclassical, the latter mainly alluding to posttranslational modifications related to NO and its interaction with reactive groups in proteins.
在过去20年里,一氧化氮(NO)已成为一种气态自由基,在广泛的生物功能和生物体中发挥着关键且意想不到的作用。我们在此呈现一个案例,其中NO介导的信号传导可大致分为经典(cGMP介导)和非经典两类,后者主要指与NO相关的翻译后修饰及其与蛋白质中反应基团的相互作用。
