Tat-NR2B9c prevents excitotoxic neuronal superoxide production.
The Tat-NR2B9c peptide has shown clinical efficacy as a neuroprotective agent in acute stroke. Tat-NR2B9c is designed to prevent nitric oxide (NO) production by preventing postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD-95) binding to N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors and neuronal nitric oxide synthase; however, PSD-95 is a scaffolding protein that also couples NMDA receptors to other downstream effec...
متن کاملRoles of neuronal nitric oxide synthase, oxidative stress, and propofol in N-methyl-D-aspartate-induced dilatation of cerebral arterioles.
BACKGROUND It remains unclear whether N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors contribute to cerebral parenchymal vasodilatation, and any effects of clinically used anaesthetics on the dilatation. The present study was designed to examine whether NMDA induces neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS)-mediated dilatation, in the cerebral parenchymal arterioles, and whether propofol and superoxide modula...
متن کاملCAPON: A Protein Associated with Neuronal Nitric Oxide Synthase that Regulates Its Interactions with PSD95
Nitric oxide (NO) produced by neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) is important for N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-dependent neurotransmitter release, neurotoxicity, and cyclic GMP elevations. The coupling of NMDA receptor-mediated calcium influx and nNOS activation is postulated to be due to a physical coupling of the receptor and the enzyme by an intermediary adaptor protein, PSD95, th...
متن کاملNitric oxide mediates N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor-induced activation of p21ras.
N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptor-mediated increases in intracellular calcium are thought to play a critical role in synaptic plasticity. The mechanisms by which changes in cytoplasmic calcium transmit the glutamate signal to the nucleus, which is ultimately important for long-lasting neuronal responses, are poorly understood. We show that NMDA receptor stimulation leads to activat...
متن کاملNMDA 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...
