  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 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitric_oxide

    It is a bioproduct in almost all types of organisms, including bacteria, plants, fungi, and animal cells. [28] Nitric oxide, an endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF), is biosynthesized endogenously from L-arginine, oxygen, and NADPH by various nitric oxide synthase (NOS) enzymes. [29] Reduction of inorganic nitrate may also make nitric ...

  5. Nitric oxide dioxygenase - Wikipedia

    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 ...

  6. Denitrification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denitrification

    Other genes known in microorganisms which denitrify include nir (nitrite reductase) and nos (nitrous oxide reductase) among others; [3] organisms identified as having these genes include Alcaligenes faecalis, Alcaligenes xylosoxidans, many in the genus Pseudomonas, Bradyrhizobium japonicum, and Blastobacter denitrificans.

  7. Nitric-oxide reductase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitric-oxide_reductase

    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). Nitric oxide reductase reduces NO to N 2 O.

  8. Gaseous signaling molecules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaseous_signaling_molecules

    Gaseous signaling molecules are gaseous molecules that are either synthesized internally (endogenously) in the organism, tissue or cell or are received by the organism, tissue or cell from outside (say, from the atmosphere or hydrosphere, as in the case of oxygen) and that are used to transmit chemical signals which induce certain physiological or biochemical changes in the organism, tissue or ...

    By contrast, the second three tree species, oak, beech and hickory, are associated with microbes that "absorb reactive nitrogen oxides," and thus can have a positive impact on the nitrogen oxide component of air quality. Nitrogen oxide release from forest soils is expected to be highest in Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Kentucky and Ohio. [19]
