No ·NO from NO synthase

Abstract: A BSTR ACTThe nitric-oxide synthase (NOS; EC 1.14.13.39) reaction is formulated as a partially tetrahydrobiopterin (H 4 Bip)-dependent 5-electron oxidation of a terminal guanidino nitrogen of L-arginine (Arg) associated with stoichiometric consumption of dioxygen (O 2 ) and 1.5 mol of NADPH to form L-citrulline (Cit) and nitric oxide (⅐NO). Analysis of NOS activity has relied largely on indirect methods such as quantification of nitrite͞nitrate or the coproduct Cit; we therefore sought to directly quantify ⅐NO… Show more

“…Taken together, these results demonstrate that SOD-dependently generated endogenous NO can autoinhibit NOS activity. These findings are in accord with observations that NO formation from NOS can be detected only in the presence of SOD [27,28].…”

“…Aqueous stock solutions of NO, ONOO − and HbO # were prepared as described [28,38]. The O # − d -generating system consisted of 250 µM hypoxanthine and up to 100 m-units\ml xanthine oxidase resulting in, for example, an O # − d flux at 0.75 munits\ml xanthine oxidase of 0.5 µM\min.…”

“…The two states are both reactive nitrogen species, but the singlet state of NOcan react directly with thiols to form nitrosothiols. It has not been unequivocally substantiated as to which redox state, NO + or singlet NO -, is involved with S-nitrosylation in vivo; however, Schmidt et al (1996) presented evidence that nNOS produces NO -; therefore, it is speculated that singlet NO -is the most common redox state utilized during S-nitrosylation (Lipton et al, 1998). It is possible that triplet NO -is produced by iNOS, which is present in order to repair normal cellular damage or disassemble damaged cellular material.…”
