Post-translational modifications induced by nitric oxide (NO): implication in cancer cells apoptosis.
Post-translational modifications of proteins can regulate the balance between survival and cell death signals. It is increasingly recognized that nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced post-translational modifications could play a role in cell death. This review provides an introduction of current knowledge of NO proteins modifications promoting or inhibiting cell death with special attention in cancer cells.
