Accumulating evidence indicates that protein S-nitrosylation may convey a broad spectrum of cellular signals. S-nitrosylation of critical cysteine thiols activates a subset of cation-permeable, transient receptor potential channel proteins (TRPs), which may represent a general mechanism for regulating stimulus-coupled cellular Ca2+ flux.
