Dynamic regulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase: complementary roles of dual acylation and caveolin interactions

Biochemistry
O FeronT Michel

Abstract

N-Terminal myristoylation and thiopalmitoylation of the endothelial isoform of nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) are required for targeting the enzyme to specialized signal-transducing microdomains of plasma membrane termed caveolae. We have previously documented that the subcellular localization of eNOS is dynamically regulated by agonists such as bradykinin, which promotes enzyme depalmitoylation and translocation from caveolae. More recently, we have shown that association of eNOS with caveolin, the principal structural protein in caveolae, leads to enzyme inhibition, in a reversible process modulated by Ca2+-calmodulin (CaM). We now report studies of the respective roles of acylation and caveolin interaction for regulating eNOS activity. Using eNOS truncation and deletion mutants expressed in COS-7 cells, we have identified an obligatory role for the N-terminal half of eNOS in stabilizing its association with caveolin. By exploring the differential effects of detergents (CHAPS vs octyl glucoside), we have shown that this direct interaction between both proteins is facilitated by, but does not require, eNOS acylation, and, importantly, that treatment of intact aortic endothelial cells with the calcium ionophore A23187 leads to th...Continue Reading

Caveolins & Signal Transduction

Caveolins are small proteins with a hairpin loop conformation that are located in the plasma membrane of various cell types where they bind cholesterol and interact with receptors essential for several signal transduction pathways. Here is the latest research.
