STRUCTURE

1.EACH MONOMER MAINLY CONSISTS OF TWO DOMAINS:A)REDUCTASEB)OXYGENASE2.TWO DOMAINS ARE INTERLINKED BY CALMODULIN(CaM) WHICH ACTS AS A MOLECULAR SWITCH.3.TWO MONOMERS ARE AGAIN CONNECTED BY TETRAHEDRAL Zn(II) ION.

REDUCTASE DOMAIN:1.IT HAS THREE Co-FACTORS BOUND TO IT.2.ITS MAIN ROLE IS TO DONATE ELECTRON TO THE OXYGENASE DOMAIN.

NADPH(Nicotinamide adenine

dinucleotide phosphate)

FAD (Flavin adenine dinucleotide)

FMN(Flavin mononucleotide)

Page 8: Nitric oxide synthases sajal sen

OXYGENASE DOMAIN:IT CONTAINS THE ACTIVE SITE THAT BINDS WITH L-ARGININE AND CONVERTS IT INTO CITRULINE & NO.IT HAS TWO CO-FACTORS BOUND WITH IT:

H4B(tetrahydrobiopterin)

HEMELINKED WITH S-CYSTEINE

HOW IT WORKS?HOW IT WORKS?

Schematic Diagram of overall reaction pathway

Electrons are donated from NADPH to the reductase

domain and then proceed via FAD and FMN to the

oxygenase domain. There the electrons interact with the heme iron and BH4 at the active site in order to catalyze the reaction of oxygen with L-arginine,

generating L-citrulline and NO as products

Ultra Sensitive Assay for Nitric Oxide Synthase:Ultra Sensitive Assay for Nitric Oxide Synthase:

The traditional method for measuring nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity is performed by radiochemical The traditional method for measuring nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity is performed by radiochemical assay that measures the conversion of L-[3H]arginine to L-[3H]citrulline.Ultrasensitive NOS Assay Kit assay that measures the conversion of L-[3H]arginine to L-[3H]citrulline.Ultrasensitive NOS Assay Kit employs a NADPH recycling system to allow NOS to operate linearly for hours as nitric oxide-derived employs a NADPH recycling system to allow NOS to operate linearly for hours as nitric oxide-derived nitrate and nitrite accumulate.NOS can be assayed spectrophotometrically by measuring the nitrate and nitrite accumulate.NOS can be assayed spectrophotometrically by measuring the accumulation of its stable degradation products, nitrate and nitrite.Nitrate is converted to nitrite by the accumulation of its stable degradation products, nitrate and nitrite.Nitrate is converted to nitrite by the enzyme nitrate reductase (NaR), followed by quantization of nitrite using Griess Reagent. enzyme nitrate reductase (NaR), followed by quantization of nitrite using Griess Reagent.

FUTURE SCOPES & CONCLUSION:FUTURE SCOPES & CONCLUSION:

NOS INHIBITOR DRUGS:NOS INHIBITOR DRUGS:Both underproduction and overproduction of NO have been linked to various humanpathologies. Impaired NO bioavailability from eNOS and nNOS can lead to hypertension,impotence, or atherosclerosis, whereas excess NO production by iNOS can cause inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, immune-type diabetes, stroke, andcancer.Therefore, it is not surprising that much effort has been made to find specific inhibitors of nitric oxide synthases (NOS).

1.What is the three-dimensional structure of the reductasedomain and of the full-length enzyme, and thus how do thehaem and reductase domains interact?

2.Does the distribution between monomer and dimer vary incells or in vivo, and if so what is its significance in theregulation of the three NOS isoforms?

3.What are the key roles played by the pterin cofactor, and is itredox cycling between BH4 and BH3 during the NOS reaction?

4.What is the mechanism of NO formation from NHA (themonooxygenase II reaction)?
