Abstract
The gating properties of ion channels can be significantly altered by the intracellular redox status. Reactive oxygen (ROS) and nitrogen (RNS) species induce posttranslational modifications targeted at specific residues within the pore-forming subunits. These include redox modification of sulfhydryl groups of cysteine residues by ROS, s-nitrosylation by nitric oxide, and/or nitration of tyrosine residues by peroxynitrite. The functional activity of a number of ion channels has been examined directly in response to oxidizing agents or following oxidative stress. This chapter summarizes some of the known changes in channel regulation by ROS/RNS both from a biophysical standpoint and in disease states.
