0099. Nitrite reductase activity during sepsis
Introduction Nitric oxide (NO) excess is considered to be the main cause of hypotension in sepsis. Research has mainly focussed upon NO production by isoforms of NO synthase (NOS). However, alternative pathways may make an important contribution, including nitrite (NO2 ) reduction by the reductase activity possessed by numerous hemeand pterin-based enzymes. The temporal contribution of these pa...
متن کاملReversible S-Nitrosylation in an Engineered Azurin
S-Nitrosothiols are known as reagents for NO storage and transportation and as regulators in many physiological processes. Although the S-nitrosylation catalysed by haem proteins is well known, no direct evidence of S-nitrosylation in copper proteins has been reported. Here, we report reversible insertion of NO into a copper-thiolate bond in an engineered copper centre in Pseudomonas aeruginosa...
متن کاملNitrite Reductase in Rice Seedlings
1. In rice seedlings synthesis of methyl viologen-nitrite reductase was stimulated by light, as was that of NADH-nitrate oxidoreductase (EC 1.6.6.1). A small residual effect of light on the synthesis of the enzymes persisted in the dark for a short time. 2. In etiolated seedlings exposed to light and nitrate, a lag period of 3 h was necessary before enzyme synthesis commenced, whereas in green ...
متن کاملThe functional nitrite reductase activity of the heme-globins.
Hemoglobin and myoglobin are among the most extensively studied proteins, and nitrite is one of the most studied small molecules. Recently, multiple physiologic studies have surprisingly revealed that nitrite represents a biologic reservoir of NO that can regulate hypoxic vasodilation, cellular respiration, and signaling. These studies suggest a vital role for deoxyhemoglobin- and deoxymyoglobi...
متن کاملIncreased nitrite reductase activity of fetal versus adult ovine hemoglobin.
Growing evidence indicates that nitrite, NO2-, serves as a circulating reservoir of nitric oxide (NO) bioactivity that is activated during physiological and pathological hypoxia. One of the intravascular mechanisms for nitrite conversion to NO is a chemical nitrite reductase activity of deoxyhemoglobin. The rate of NO production from this reaction is increased when hemoglobin is in the R confor...
