18 RESEARCH SUMMARY
e4 We investigate the biological chemistry and molecular mechanisms of nitric oxide signaling. Nitric oxide is a free radical that mediates blood flow and many other physiological responses within every major organ system.
a
18e Currently mass spectrometry-based proteomic data in conjunction with structure-function analysis explore the biochemical and biophysical specificity of two nitric oxide-mediated post-translational modifications cysteine S-nitrosation and tyrosine nitration. Studies explore the consequences of these modifications on protein function in metabolic processes and mitochondrial bioenergetics.
8
139 We are also generating inventories of mouse brain proteomes, phosphoproteomes, S-nitrosoproteomes and secretomes. These inventories are used to create 3D-functional landscapes of the mouse brain extracellular space and to identify signaling pathways that influence neuron physiology and neurodegeneration.
