Nitric oxide (NO) is a widespread small molecule that is integrated in a wide variety of physiological processes including smooth muscle vasodilation, platelet disaggregation, neurotransmission, and immune response to bacterial infection. 14,15 Overproduction of this signaling molecule can be lethal to cells by poisoning cellular energy production. The most sensitive targets of NO are aconitase, an enzyme that catalyzes the isomerization of citrate to isocitrate in the citric acid cycle, and cytochrome oxidase, the last enzyme in the respiratory electron transport chain of mitochondria. 2 Additionally NO, with its lone radical on the nitrogen atom, is implicated in a number of secondary mechanisms of toxicity, including catalase inhibition (resulting in hydrogen peroxide toxicity), Fe-S center iron liberation, and the formation of dinitosyl-iron complexes. Due to the potential lethality of NO, cells benefitted greatly from the evolution of an enzyme capable of catalyzing the conversion of toxic NO to nitrates. A nitric oxide dioxygenase is an enzyme that is capable of carrying out this reaction. The net reaction for this conversion is shown below: Net Reaction: 2NO + 2O2 + NAD(P)H → 2NO3- + NAD(P)+ + H+
A nitric oxide dioxygenase (EC 1.14.12.17) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- NO + O2 + NAD(P)H NO3- + NAD(P)+ + H+
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are nitric oxide, O2, NADH, (or NADPH), whereas its 3 products are nitrate, NAD+, (or NADP+), and H+. NO dioxygenase belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, more specifically those acting on paired donors, with O2 as oxidant and with incorporation of two atoms of oxygen into the other donor.
Discovery
Nitric oxide dioxygenase was discovered, and first reported in 1998, as an inducible O2-dependent enzymatic activity that protected bacteria against nitric oxide toxicity.[2] The enzyme was identified with the E. coli flavohemoglobin.[3]
Structure and molecular function
The flavohemoglobin protein contains two domains: an oxidoreductase FAD-binding domain, and a b-type heme-containing "globin" domain and optionally an oxidoreductase NAD-binding domain. The reductase domain supplies an electron to the heme iron to achieve a high rate of catalytic NO dioxygenation. In addition to numerous flavohemoglobins, many distantly related members of the hemoglobin superfamily including the muscle myoglobin, the non-symbiotic plant hemoglobin and symbiotic plant leghemoglobin, the neuronal neuroglobin, and the mammalian cytoplasmic cytoglobin [4][5] appear to function as nitric oxide dioxygenases (NODs), although the cellular electron donor(s) for many globins have yet to be defined. Electron donors may include ascorbate, cytochrome b5 or ferredoxin reductase.[6] The catalytic NO dioxygenation can be written in its simplest form:
- NO + O2 + e- NO3-
Catalysis is very efficient. The reported bimolecular NO dioxygenation rate constants range from 2 x 107 M-1s-1 for cytoglobin to 3 x 109 M-1s-1 for flavohemoglobin, and turnover rates range from 1 to 700 s-1. Structure, O2 binding, and reduction of globins appear optimized for a NO dioxygenase function.
Physiological function
NODs serve two important physiological functions in diverse life forms. They prevent NO toxicity and regulate NO signalling. NODs belong to the larger family of well-established free radical and reactive oxygen detoxifying enzymes that includes superoxide dismutase, catalase, and peroxidase.
Distribution in nature
NODs, as well as many hemoglobins that function as NODs, are distributed to most life forms including bacteria, fungi, protists, worms, plants and animals. In fact, nitric oxide dioxygenation appears to be a primal function for members of the hemoglobin superfamily. Moreover, it is becoming increasingly evident that the NOD function of globins is much more common than the paradigmatic O2 transport-storage function of red cell hemoglobin[7] which was first investigated and reported over a century earlier by Felix Hoppe-Seyler and others.[8] Other proteins that may act as NODs include mammalian microsomal cytochrome P450(s)[9] and a novel O2-binding cytochrome b from Rhodobacter sphaeroides.[10]
Technologies
Inhibitors of the NODs are being developed for application as microbial antibiotics[11][12], anti-tumor agents and modulators of NO signalling. In addition, genetically modified plants with heterologous flavohemoglobin-NODs are being developed to limit NO toxicity created by metabolism of nitrogen fertilizers by soil microbes and as a means towards plant self-fertilization through absorption of environmental NO.
