Nitric oxide signaling in plants
Nitric oxide (NO) is now seen as a vitally important molecule in many biological systems. Once it was identified in mammalian systems in 1987 (Palmer et al., 1987) it was only a matter of time before researchers hunted for its presence in plants, with the first such reports being published in 1998 (Delledonne et al., 1998; Durner et al., 1998). Now 15 years later the interest in NO and its role...
متن کاملHemoglobin-mediated nitric oxide signaling.
The rate that hemoglobin reacts with nitric oxide (NO) is limited by how fast NO can diffuse into the heme pocket. The reaction is as fast as any ligand/protein reaction can be and the result, when hemoglobin is in its oxygenated form, is formation of nitrate in what is known as the dioxygenation reaction. As nitrate, at the concentrations made through the dioxygenation reaction, is biologicall...
متن کاملNitric oxide is a key signaling molecule of our physiology
H-NOX proteins are at present the only structural models available for the study of the ligand binding affinity and selectivity of soluble guanylate cyclase, the physiological receptor of nitric oxide. The oxy complex and resting state structures of two bacterial H-NOX proteins of markedly different oxygen affinity, but of quite similar sequence, were studied by molecular dynamics simulations a...
متن کاملNitric oxide production and signaling in inflammation.
Nitric oxide (NO) is recognized as a mediator and regulator of inflammatory responses. It possesses cytotoxic properties that are aimed against pathogenic microbes, but it can also have damaging effects on host tissues. NO reacts with soluble guanylate cyclase to form cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), which mediates many of the effects of NO. NO can also interact with molecular oxygen and ...
متن کاملNitric oxide and mechanisms of redox signaling.
Regulation of signal transduction and gene expression is a multifaceted process involving ligands, receptors, and second messengers that trigger cascades of protein kinases and phosphatases and propagate the signal to the nucleus to alter gene expression. Reduction-oxidation (redox)-based regulatory pathways provide additional means of gating signal transduction, and redox-based regulation of g...
