Dave, it would be premature for you to make conclusions on it because you haven't read the literature. I have, and it is not premature for me to make such a conclusion.

There are many more pathways that involve nitric oxide. The Zn finger proteins are regulated by NO. That means that the pathways that regulate the Zn finger proteins produce an NO signal. That means the products that Zn finger transcription factors cause (or block) expression of, produce an NO signal to block (or cause) expression of more (or less) of that product.

Everything that Zn finger transcription factors couple to has to be coupled via NO signaling.

Yes, thanks for pointing this out. I searched for references in the New England Journal of Medicine. Now I know what Zinc fingers are and see they are pervasive in protein transcription involving hematology and endocrinology.

So they could be a portal though many environmental factors have an effect. I still think it is premature to judge how this all works out in the real world for reasons I have given.It does make a nice pet theory.
