Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The cyclic nucleotide 8-SH-cGMP is produced by the metabolism of 8-nitro-cGMP, which serves as a secondary messenger for NO and reactive oxygen species signaling. However, the mechanisms controlling the formation and levels of intracellular 8-SH-cGMP have not yet been identified. In this study, the principal investigator precisely quantified the formation of 8-SH-GMP via a mass spectrometry-based metabolomic method. The results revealed that 8-SH-cGMP is produced from 8-nitro-cGMP via sulfhydration by reactive sulfur species generated from the cystathione beta-synthase and cystathionine gamma-lyase systems. Moreover, the formation of S-S-guanylation (cGMP adduction to the thiol group of the protein via disulfide linkage) was specifically identified using proteome analysis of S-polythiolation.
