1.14.13.39 nitric-oxide synthase (NADPH)IUBMB Comments
The enzyme consists of linked oxygenase and reductase domains. The eukaryotic enzyme binds FAD, FMN, heme (iron protoporphyrin IX) and tetrahydrobiopterin, and its two domains are linked via a regulatory calmodulin-binding domain. Upon calcium-induced calmodulin binding, the reductase and oxygenase domains form a complex, allowing electrons to flow from NADPH via FAD and FMN to the active center. The reductase domain of the enzyme from the bacterium Sorangium cellulosum utilizes a [2Fe-2S] cluster to transfer the electrons from NADPH to the active center. cf. EC 1.14.14.47, nitric-oxide synthase (flavodoxin).

Calmodulin
-
enzyme-bound, the binding sequence links the two enzyme domains
Calmodulin
in the absence of calmodulin, the wild type enzyme activity is less than 15% of the maximum calmodulin-dependent values
Calmodulin
maximum calmodulin-dependent activity is measured at 1.5 mM CaCl2, phosphorylation within an autoinhibitory domain in endothelial nitric oxide synthase reduces the Ca2+ concentrations required for calmodulin to bind and activate the enzyme
FAD
-
the enzyme bears Ca2+/calmodulin dependent FAD and FMN containing reductase domain which transfers electrons from NADPH to a variety of acceptors
FAD
-
electron flow within the neuronal nitric oxide synthase reductase domain includes hydride transfer from NADPH to FAD followed by two one-electron transfer reactions from FAD to FMN. Binding of the second NADPH is necessary to drive the full reduction of FMN and charge transfer and the subsequent interflavin electron transfer have distinct spectral features that can be monitored separately with stopped flow spectroscopy. Interflavin electron transfer reported at 600 nm is not limiting in nitric oxide synthase catalysis
FAD
during catalysis, NADPH-derived electrons are transfered into FAD and then distributed into the FMN domain for further transfer to internal or external heme groups. Conformational freedom of the FMN domain is essential for the electron transfer
FAD
in the neuronal enzyme, protein domain dynamics and calmodulin binding are implicated in regulating electron flow from NADPH, through the FAD and FMN cofactors, to the heme oxygenase domain, the site of NO generation
FMN

FMN
-
determination of FMN-heme intraprotein electron transfer kinetics in full length and oxygenase/FMN construct of human inducible nitric oxide synthase. The rate constant increases considerably with temperature. The FMN domain in the holoenzyme needs to sample more conformations before the intraprotein electron transfer takes place, and the FMN domain in the oxyFMN construct is better poised for efficient intraprotein electron transfer
FMN
during catalysis, NADPH-derived electrons are transfer into FAD and then distributed into the FMN domain for further transfer to internal or external heme groups. Conformational freedom of the FMN domain is essential for the electron transfer
FMN
in the neuronal enzyme, protein domain dynamics and calmodulin binding are implicated in regulating electron flow from NADPH, through the FAD and FMN cofactors, to the heme oxygenase domain, the site of NO generation
FMN
proposed conformational model for nitric oxide synthesis by the enzyme. Nitric oxide synthesis involves two distinct changes in the holoenzyme complex: 1. an extended-to-closed conformational equilibrium that brings the reductase domains together in a cross-monomer arrangement, and 2. release and rotation of the FMN domain triggered by CaM binding that positions the FMN cofactor for electron transfer across to the adjacent oxygenase domain in the closed state
heme
-
an inverse correlation exists between FMN shielding and the cytochrome c reductase activity
heme
-
the heme is coordinated by a cysteine residue on the proximal side, and the substrates, Arg or N-hydroxy-L-arginine, bind above the heme iron atom in the distal pocket, while the cofactor, tetrahydrobiopterin, binds along the side of the heme

requirement, specific for, NADPH-diaphorase activity requires higher NADPH concentrations than nitric oxide formation
NADPH
-
binding structure of NADP(H) to wild-type and truncation mutant enzyme lacking parts of the C-terminus, overview
NADPH
-
electron flow within the neuronal nitric oxide synthase reductase domain includes hydride transfer from NADPH to FAD followed by two one-electron transfer reactions from FAD to FMN. Binding of the second NADPH is necessary to drive the full reduction of FMN and charge transfer and the subsequent interflavin electron transfer have distinct spectral features that can be monitored separately with stopped flow spectroscopy. Interflavin electron transfer reported at 600 nm is not limiting in nitric oxide synthase catalysis
NADPH
in the neuronal enzyme, protein domain dynamics and calmodulin binding are implicated in regulating electron flow from NADPH, through the FAD and FMN cofactors, to the heme oxygenase domain, the site of NO generation. Binding of NADPH and calmodulin influence interdomain distance relationships as well as reaction chemistry
