The biological implication of protein tyrosine nitration in signaling pathways triggered by nitric oxide is recently emerging. Here we report for the first time that nitrotyrosination occurs in the neural intermediate filament protein peripherin. In neuron-like PC12 cells, nitrated peripherin is associated with the cytoskeleton fraction, its level increases during the progression of NGF-induced differentiation and the nitrated protein remains closely associated with stable microtubules. Tyr 17 and Tyr 376 were identified by MALDI-TOF analyses as two specific residues endogenously nitrated. Finally, peripherin nitration is not restricted to PC12 cells but it is also present in vivo in rat brain.
