title: Protein Oxidative Modifications: Beneficial Roles in Disease and Health.
abstract: Protein oxidative modifications, also known as protein oxidation, are a major class of protein posttranslational modifications. They are caused by reactions between protein amino acid residues and reactive oxygen species (ROS) or reactive nitrogen species (RNS) and can be classified into two categories: irreversible modifications and reversible modifications. Protein oxidation has been often associated with functional decline of the target proteins, which are thought to contribute to normal aging and age-related pathogenesis. However, it has now been recognized that protein oxidative modifications can also play beneficial roles in disease and health. This review summarizes and highlights certain positive roles of protein oxidative modifications that have been documented in the literature. Covered oxidatively modified protein adducts include carbonylation, 3-nitrotyrosine, s-sulfenation, s-nitrosylation, s-glutathionylation, and disulfide formation. All of which have been widely analyzed in numerous experimental systems associated with redox stress conditions. The authors believe that selected protein targets, when modified in a reversible manner in prophylactic approaches such as preconditioning or ischemic tolerance, may provide potential promise in maintaining health and fighting disease.
