Nitric oxide and oxygen metabolism.
Introduction Inhibition of mitochondrial respiration has been associated with the cytotoxicity of NO right from the beginning of NO research [1,2]. Recent findings have confirmed the importance of mitochondrial inhibition, but put the previous research into a new context. Here we review our findings that: (a) NO reversibly inhibits O2 consumption by isolated cytochrome oxidase, mitochondria, ne...
متن کاملNitric oxide metabolism in wounds.
Arginine can be metabolized in wounds to nitric oxide and citrulline by nitric oxide synthase or to urea and ornithine by arginase. We investigated the expression of these arginine metabolic pathways over a 3-week period. Groups of 8-10 male Balb/C mice underwent a dorsal skin incision and subcutaneous polyvinyl alcohol sponge implantation. The animals were sacrificed at various times, and spon...
متن کاملBacterial flavodoxins support nitric oxide production by Bacillus subtilis nitric-oxide synthase.
Unlike animal nitric-oxide synthases (NOSs), the bacterial NOS enzymes have no attached flavoprotein domain to reduce their heme and so must rely on unknown bacterial proteins for electrons. We tested the ability of two Bacillus subtilis flavodoxins (YkuN and YkuP) to support catalysis by purified B. subtilis NOS (bsNOS). When an NADPH-utilizing bacterial flavodoxin reductase (FLDR) was added t...
متن کاملInduction of Nitric Oxide Synthase by Bacterial Lipopolysaccharide
This study investigates the role of endogenous platelet-activating factor (PAF) in the production of nitric oxide (NO) by constitutive and inducible isoforms of NO synthase (NOS) in endotoxin shock. In anesthetized rats, 3 hours of endotoxemia resulted in a fall in mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) from 127±5 (control) to 61±7 mm Hg and a reduction of the pressor responses to norepinephrine (N...
متن کاملProton transfer in bacterial nitric oxide reductase.
The NOR (nitric oxide reductase) from Paracoccus denitrificans catalyses the two-electron reduction of NO to N(2)O (2NO+2H(+)+2e(-)-->N(2)O+H(2)O). The NOR is a divergent member of the superfamily of haem-copper oxidases, oxygen-reducing enzymes which couple the reduction of oxygen with translocation of protons across the membrane. In contrast, reduction of NO catalysed by NOR is non-electrogen...
