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, by Gardner's group as an inducible O2-dependent protective enzymatic activity[2] associated with the Escherichia coli flavohemoglobin.[3]
Structure & 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 the flavohemoglobins, many 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-
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 enxymes 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.[7] Other proteins that may act as NODs include mammalian microsomal cytochrome P450(s)[8] and a novel O2-binding cytochrome b from Rhodobacter sphaeroides.[9]
Technologies
Inhibitors of the NODs are being developed for application as microbial antibiotics, anti-tumor agents and modulators of NO signalling. In addition, genetically modified plants are being developed to limit NO toxicity by nitrogen fertilizers and as a means towards plant self-fertilization by soil and atmospheric NO.
