Nitric oxide inhibits ornithine decarboxylase via S-nitrosylation of cysteine 360 in the active site of the enzyme.

چکیده
Ornithine decarboxylase is the initial and rate-limiting enzyme in the polyamine biosynthetic pathway. Polyamines are found in all mammalian cells and are required for cell growth. We previously demonstrated that N-hydroxyarginine and nitric oxide inhibit tumor cell proliferation by inhibiting arginase and ornithine decarboxylase, respectively, and, therefore, polyamine synthesis. In addition, we showed that nitric oxide inhibits purified ornithine decarboxylase by S-nitrosylation. Herein we provide evidence for the chemical mechanism by which nitric oxide and S-nitrosothiols react with cysteine residues in ornithine decarboxylase to form an S-nitrosothiol(s) on the protein. The diazeniumdiolate nitric oxide donor agent 1-diethyl-2-hydroxy-2-nitroso-hydrazine acts through an oxygen-dependent mechanism leading to formation of the nitrosating agents N(2)O(3) and/or N(2)O(4). S-Nitrosoglutathione inhibits ornithine decarboxylase by an oxygen-independent mechanism likely by S-transnitrosation. In addition, we provide evidence for the S-nitrosylation of 4 cysteine residues per ornithine decarboxylase monomer including cysteine 360, which is critical for enzyme activity. Finally S-nitrosylated ornithine decarboxylase was isolated from intact cells treated with nitric oxide, suggesting that nitric oxide may regulate ornithine decarboxylase activity by S-nitrosylation in vivo.

Methionine adenosyltransferase S-nitrosylation is regulated by the basic and acidic amino acids surrounding the target thiol.
S-Adenosylmethionine serves as the methyl donor for many biological methylation reactions and provides the propylamine group for the synthesis of polyamines. S-Adenosylmethionine is synthesized from methionine and ATP by the enzyme methionine adenosyltransferase. The cellular factors regulating S-adenosylmethionine synthesis have not been well defined. Here we show that in rat hepatocytes S-nit...
متن کاملRegulation of plant glycine decarboxylase by s-nitrosylation and glutathionylation.
Mitochondria play an essential role in nitric oxide (NO) signal transduction in plants. Using the biotin-switch method in conjunction with nano-liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry, we identified 11 candidate proteins that were S-nitrosylated and/or glutathionylated in mitochondria of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) leaves. These included glycine decarboxylase complex (GDC), a key enz...
متن کاملNitric oxide inhibits calpain-mediated proteolysis of talin in skeletal muscle cells.
We tested the hypothesis that nitric oxide can inhibit cytoskeletal breakdown in skeletal muscle cells by inhibiting calpain cleavage of talin. The nitric oxide donor sodium nitroprusside prevented many of the effects of calcium ionophore on C(2)C(12) muscle cells, including preventing talin proteolysis and release into the cytosol and reducing loss of vinculin, cell detachment, and loss of cel...
متن کاملNitric oxide inhibits dystrophin proteolysis by coxsackieviral protease 2A through S-nitrosylation: A protective mechanism against enteroviral cardiomyopathy.
BACKGROUND Infection with enteroviruses like coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) as well as genetic dystrophin deficiency can cause dilated cardiomyopathy. We recently identified cleavage and functional impairment of dystrophin by the viral protease 2A during CVB3-infection as a molecular mechanism that may contribute to the pathogenesis of enterovirus-induced cardiomyopathy. Nitric oxide (NO) is elevated...
متن کاملNitric oxide stimulates PC12 cell proliferation via cGMP and inhibits at higher concentrations mainly via energy depletion.
We investigated the mechanisms by which nitric oxide (NO) from an NO donor (DETA/NO) regulates proliferation of pheochromocytoma PC12 cells. The NO donor stimulated proliferation at low concentrations, but reversibly and completely inhibited proliferation at higher concentrations. The stimulation (but not the inhibition) of proliferation was apparently due to NO stimulation of soluble guanylate...
