Nitrating agent Formation of 3-nitro-tyrosine (NO2)4C pH8 (NO2)3C- + 2H+
Mechanism of 3-nitroTyrosine Formation All pathways for 3-nitroTyr formation depend on nitric oxide formation • Two major pathways have been established: • Peroxynitrite • Peroxidases or MPO/H2O2/NO2- • NO.?

Tyrosine Nitration by Nitric Oxide Nitric oxide may react with stable tyrosyl radical residue that are involved in the catalytic mechanism of ribonucleotide reductase or prostaglandin H synthase, or cytochrome c-H2O2

Why is protein tyrosine nitration important in vivo? • Selective, not all proteins are modified • Alter function in some but not all proteins • Structural alteration, accelerate protein turn-over • Increase antigenicity and induce immune responses

Controversial and Challengers “3-nitrotyrosine is produced in vivo; there is an increase in 3-nitrotyrosine concentration in many pathological situations” Some controversies remain: 1- The biological significance of nitration. 2- The mechanisms of 3-nitrotyrosine formation. 3- Is there a repair mechanism for 3-nitrotyrosine? Is it a signal pathway? 4- Where is nitration produced? Which are the preferential targets?
