Suicide inactivation of xanthine oxidoreductase during reduction of inorganic nitrite to nitric oxide.
Xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) is progressively inactivated while catalysing the reduction of inorganic nitrite to NO by xanthine. Inactivation results from conversion of the enzyme into its desulpho-form. The rate of inactivation increases with nitrite concentration. Similar behaviour was shown when NADH replaced xanthine as reducing substrate. A kinetic model is proposed incorporating a 'suici...

Hypertension, Nitrate-Nitrite, and Xanthine Oxidoreductase Catalyzed Nitric Oxide Generation: Pros and Cons We read with great interest the article by Ghosh et al1 on the use of beetroot juice as a potential therapy for hypertension. This article proposes the intriguing concept that dietary nitrate in beetroot juice can be converted into therapeutically beneficial nitric oxide (NO) for use in t...
متن کاملMechanisms underlying erythrocyte and endothelial nitrite reduction to nitric oxide in hypoxia: role for xanthine oxidoreductase and endothelial nitric oxide synthase.
Reduction of nitrite (NO(2)(-)) provides a major source of nitric oxide (NO) in the circulation, especially in hypoxemic conditions. Our previous studies suggest that xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) is an important nitrite reductase in the heart and kidney. Herein, we have demonstrated that conversion of nitrite to NO by blood vessels and RBCs was enhanced in the presence of the XOR substrate xan...
متن کاملNitrite reduction to nitric oxide in the vasculature.
THROUGH THE CONTINUOUS GENERATION of vasoactive substances including nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandins, and endothelin, the vessel wall is actively involved in regulating blood flow in response to tissue demand (27). Vasodilatory NO is produced by NO synthase (NOS) in endothelial cells upon shear stress and numerous agonistic substances and acts via activation of soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) ...
متن کاملNitrite-derived nitric oxide protects the rat kidney against ischemia/reperfusion injury in vivo: role for xanthine oxidoreductase.
In normal conditions, nitric oxide (NO) is oxidized to the anion nitrite, but in hypoxia, this nitrite may be reduced back to NO by the nitrite reductase action of deoxygenated hemoglobin, acidic disproportionation, or xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR). Herein, is investigated the effects of topical sodium nitrite administration in a rat model of renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Rats were s...
