“…Under dynamic regulation by the NO signaling pathway, S-nitrosylation of a protein can modify its activity or function. For example, it has been reported that S-nitrosylation is important for regulating the catalytic activity of various kinases, including G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2, Akt/protein kinase B, Src kinase, inhibitory B kinase, or Ca 2ϩ /calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (Reynaert et al, 2004;Yasukawa et al, 2005;Whalen et al, 2007;Song et al, 2008;Rahman et al, 2010). Whereas NO signaling pathway is one of the key regulators in a wide array of neurodevelopmental processes, including neuronal differentiation, neuronal survival, and synaptic plasticity (Guix et al, 2005), deregulation of this pathway has been implicated in the pathogenesis of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and stroke (Chung, 2006).…”
