Biochem/physiol Actions

NOS is responsible for the biosynthesis of nitric oxide from L-arginine in nervous tissues. nNOS is calcium/calmodulin dependent and has a Km = 2.0 μM for L-arginine.

The neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) has been successfully overexpressed in Escherichia coli, with average yields of 125-150 nmol (20-24 mg) of enzyme per liter of cells. The cDNA for nNOS was subcloned into the pCW vector under the control

Nitric oxide (NO) is synthesized within the immune, vascular, and nervous systems, where it acts as a wide-ranging mediator of mammalian physiology. The NO synthases (EC 1.14.13.39) isolated from neurons or endothelium are calmodulin dependent. Calmodulin binds reversibly to neuronal

The interactions of neuronal nitric-oxide synthase (nNOS) with calmodulin (CaM) and mutant forms of CaM, including CaM-troponin C chimeras, have been previously reported, but there has been no comparable investigation of CaM interactions with the other constitutively expressed NOS (cNOS)

The high level of amino acid conservation and structural similarity of the substrate-binding sites of the oxygenase domains of the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) isoforms (eNOSoxy, iNOSoxy, nNOSoxy) make the interpretation of the structural basis of inhibitor isoform specificity a

Mammalian nitric-oxide synthases are large modular enzymes that evolved from independently expressed ancestors. Calmodulin-controlled isoforms are signal generators; calmodulin activates electron transfer from NADPH through three reductase domains to an oxygenase domain.
