Abstract

Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) catalyzes the NADPH- and O2-dependent conversion of L-arginine to nitric oxide (NO) and citrulline; three isoforms, the neuronal (nNOS), endothelial, and inducible, have been identified. Because overproduction of NO is known to contribute to several pathophysiological conditions, NOS inhibitors are of interest as potential therapeutic agents. Inhibitors that are potent, mechanism-based, and relatively selective for the NOS isoform causing pathology are of particular interest. In the present studies we report that vinyl-L-NIO (N5-(1-imino-3-butenyl)-L-ornithine; L-VNIO) binds to and inhibits nNOS in competition with L-arginine (Ki = 100 nM); binding is accompanied by a type I optical difference spectrum consistent with binding near the heme cofactor without interaction as a sixth axial heme ligand. Such binding is fully reversible. However, in the presence of NADPH and O2, L-VNIO irreversibly inactivates nNOS (kinact = 0.078 min-1; KI = 90 nM); inactivation is Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent. The cytochrome c reduction activity of the enzyme is not affected by such treatment, but the L-arginine-independent NADPH oxidase activity of nNOS is lost in parallel with the overall activity. Spectral analyses establ...Continue Reading
