To avoid excessive ROS/RNS, a complex anti-oxidative defense system has evolved utilizing antioxidants and anti-oxidative enzymes. Regulated expression of anti-oxidative enzymes during oxidative stress is mostly mediated by the oxidant-sensitive genes carrying the antioxidant response elements (AREs) in the promoter and ARE-binding transcription factors, nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2). Under resting conditions, Nrf2 is localized in the cytoplasm where it is bound to the actin-binding protein Keap1 (Kelch-like ECH-associating protein 1) leading to its degradation. Following oxidative challenge, Nrf2 is released from Keap1 owing to multiple cysteine oxidation in Keap1 and/or by phosphorylation of Nrf2 by protein kinase C. These post-translational modifications allow free Nrf2 to translocate into the nucleus and associate with small Maf proteins. Genes containing AREs in their promoter regions including NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase, glutathione S-transferase, heme oxgenase-1, glutathione peroxidase 3, glutamate cysteine ligase, and peroxiredoxin 1 are then up-regulated. However, other sensors which detect oxidation stress leading to activation of Nrf2 and manifestation of cellular responses remain to be discovered. Oxidative stress has been associated with the manifestation of pathophysiological conditions such as wounding, virus infection, aging, obesity, diabetes, cardiac disease, neurodegenerative diseases and asthma. In addition, ROS/RNS can mediate a number of physiological effects in cells such as adaptive changes in signaling in response to various stresses or during normal cell differentiation. Among the victims of untamed ROS/RNS, protein cysteine thiol is most prominent in its reactivity and also in its consequence following oxidation. Major types of reversible protein thiol modification by NO and related electrophiles include S-nitrosylation, sulfenic acid oxidation, and disulfide bond formation. In this proposal, we aim to investigate 1) the types of proteins undergoing S-sulfhydration through proteomics approach, 2) how S-sulfhydration affects the function and localization of the target proteins, 3) the methodology to determine cellular nitrite and hydrogen sulfide content. The results lead to better understanding in the regulatory function of protein oxidation modification, mechanism of cell redox regulation, roles of oxidative stress in cell differentiation and membrane repair. The acquired knowledge is expected to be applied in the research of diseases associated with oxidative stress such as virus infection, cell wounding, cell apoptosis, diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases.Nrf2轉錄因子抗氧化系統硫化氫細胞分化半胱氨酸Nrf2hydrogen sulfidesulfhydrationcell differentiationoxidation
