  2. Biological functions of nitric oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_functions_of...

    Nitric oxide sensing in plants is mediated by the N-end rule of proteolysis [61] [62] and controls abiotic stress responses such as flooding-induced hypoxia, [63] salt and drought stress. [64] [65] [66] Nitric oxide interactions have been found within signaling pathways of plant hormones such as auxin, [67] ethylene, [63] [68] [69] Abscisic ...

  3. Nitric oxide synthase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitric_oxide_synthase

    It is the proximate cause of septic shock and may function in autoimmune disease. NOS catalyzes the reaction: [3] 2 L-arginine + 3 NADPH + 3 H + + 4 O 2 2 citrulline +2 nitric oxide + 4 H 2 O + 3 NADP + NOS isoforms catalyze other leak and side reactions, such as superoxide production at the expense of NADPH. As such, this stoichiometry is not ...

  4. Nitric oxide dioxygenase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitric_oxide_dioxygenase

    In fact, nitric oxide dioxygenation appears to be a primal function for members of the hemoglobin superfamily. Moreover, it is becoming increasingly evident that the NOD function of globins is much more common [ 18 ] than the paradigmatic O 2 transport-storage function of red cell hemoglobin [ 19 ] which was first investigated and reported over ...

  5. Nitric oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitric_oxide

    It is a bioproduct in almost all types of organisms, including bacteria, plants, fungi, and animal cells. [29] Nitric oxide, an endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF), is biosynthesized endogenously from L-arginine, oxygen, and NADPH by various nitric oxide synthase (NOS) enzymes. [30] Reduction of inorganic nitrate may also make nitric ...

  6. Nitric-oxide reductase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitric-oxide_reductase

    The EC identifies the class, subclass, sub-subclass, and serial number of the enzyme. [5] Nitric oxide reductase is in Class 1, therefore it is an oxidoreductases. [5] Figure 1. The Nitrogen Cycle. Nitric oxide (NO) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O) are intermediates in the denitrification of nitrate (NO 3 −) to nitrogen gas (N 2).

  7. Reactive nitrogen species - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_Nitrogen_Species

    RNS are produced in animals starting with the reaction of nitric oxide (•NO) with superoxide (O 2 •−) to form peroxynitrite (ONOO −): [4] [5] •NO (nitric oxide) + O 2 •− (superoxide) → ONOO − (peroxynitrite) Superoxide anion (O 2 −) is a reactive oxygen species that reacts quickly with nitric oxide (NO) in the vasculature ...

  8. S-Nitrosothiol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-nitrosothiol

    S-Nitrosylated proteins (SNO-proteins) serve to transmit nitric oxide (NO) bioactivity and to regulate protein function through enzymatic mechanisms analogous to phosphorylation and ubiquitinylation: SNO donors target specific amino acids motifs; post-translational modification leads to changes in protein activity, protein interactions, or ...

  9. NOS1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOS1

    Nitric oxide synthases (EC 1.14.13.39) (NOSs) are a family of synthases that catalyze the production of nitric oxide (NO) from L-arginine.NO is a chemical messenger with diverse functions throughout the body depending on its enzymatic source and tissue localization.
