S-nitrosylation/activation of COX-2 mediates NMDA neurotoxicity.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Glutamate/N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-mediated neurotoxicity involves cyclooxygenase (COX)-2. We demonstrate that this neurotoxicity reflects activation of COX-2 by S-nitrosylation after selective binding of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) to COX-2. nNOS, via its PDZ domain, binds COX-2 with the generated NO S-nitrosylating and activating the enzyme. Selective disruption of nNOS-COX-2 binding prevents NMDA neurotoxicity.

NMDA Receptor-Nitric Oxide Transmission Mediates Neuronal Iron Homeostasis via the GTPase Dexras1
Dexras1 is a 30 kDa G protein in the Ras subfamily whose discovery was based on its pronounced inducibility by the glucocorticoid dexamethasone. It binds to neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) via the adaptor protein CAPON, eliciting S-nitrosylation and activation of Dexras1. We report that Dexras1 binds to the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor-associated protein (PAP7), a protein of unknown...
متن کاملS-Nitrosylation of N-Ethylmaleimide Sensitive Factor Mediates Surface Expression of AMPA Receptors
Postsynaptic AMPA receptor (AMPAR) trafficking mediates some forms of synaptic plasticity that are modulated by NMDA receptor (NMDAR) activation and N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor (NSF). We report that NSF is physiologically S-nitrosylated by endogenous, neuronally derived nitric oxide (NO). S-nitrosylation of NSF augments its binding to the AMPAR GluR2 subunit. Surface insertion of GluR2 in...
متن کاملS-nitrosylated SHP-2 contributes to NMDA receptor-mediated excitotoxicity in acute ischemic stroke.
Overproduction of nitric oxide (NO) can cause neuronal damage, contributing to the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative diseases and stroke (i.e., focal cerebral ischemia). NO can mediate neurotoxic effects at least in part via protein S-nitrosylation, a reaction that covalently attaches NO to a cysteine thiol (or thiolate anion) to form an S-nitrosothiol. Recently, the tyrosine phosphatas...
متن کاملGOSPEL: A Neuroprotective Protein that Binds to GAPDH upon S-Nitrosylation
We recently reported a cell death cascade whereby cellular stressors activate nitric oxide formation leading to S-nitrosylation of GAPDH that binds to Siah and translocates to the nucleus. The nuclear GAPDH/Siah complex augments p300/CBP-associated acetylation of nuclear proteins, including p53, which mediate cell death. We report a 52 kDa cytosolic protein, GOSPEL, which physiologically binds ...
متن کاملRole of constitutive nitric oxide synthase in regulation of Helicobacter pylori-induced gastric mucosal cyclooxygenase-2 ac-tivation through S-nitrosylation: mechanism of ghrelin action
Gastric mucosal inflammatory responses to H. pylori lipopolysaccharide (LPS), are characterized by the excessive NO and prostaglandin (PGE2) generation due to the disturbances in nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and cyclooxygenase (COX) systems. Here, we report that the LPS-induced enhancement in gastric mucosal inducible (i) iNOS) activity and up-regulation in PGE2 production was associated with th...
