| Abstract | The sensitive oxidations of sulfur containing amino acids (i.e., cysteines and methionines) commonly control protein function, and act as important signaling mechanisms to modify metabolic responses to environmental stressors. Mechanisms associated with cysteine oxidation to form sulfenic acid and disulfides (i.e., cystine and glutathione adducts), and their reversibility through thioredoxin-dependent mechanisms, are broadly appreciated as important regulatory mechanisms that control the function of a range of different proteins. Less commonly understood are the cellular consequences of methionine oxidation to form methionine sulfoxide, as the structural requirements for their thioredoxin-dependent reduction by methionine sulfoxide reductases limit the reversibility of methionine oxidation to sequences within surface exposed and conformationally disordered regions of proteins. Surface exposed methionines are commonly involved in molecular recognition between transient protein signaling complexes, where their oxidation disrupts productive protein–protein interactions linked to a range of cellular responses. Such a signaling protein is calmodulin, which represents an early and central point in calcium signaling pathways important to stress responses in plants. We describe recent work elucidating fundamental mechanisms of reversible methionine oxidation within calmodulin, including the physical basis for differences in the sensitivity of individual methionines within plant and animal calmodulin to reactive oxygen species (ROS), the structural and functional consequences of their oxidation, and the interactions of oxidized calmodulin with methionine sulfoxide reductase enzymes. It is suggested that, in combination with high-throughput proteomic methods and current generation informatics tools, these mechanistic insights permit useful predictions of oxidatively sensitive signaling proteins that act as redox and stress sensors in response tomethionine oxidation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
