Interaction of nitric oxide with a functional model of cytochrome c oxidase.

ABSTRACT: Cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) is a multimetallic enzyme that carries out the reduction of O2 to H2O and is essential to respiration, providing the energy that powers all aerobic organisms by generating heat and forming ATP. The oxygen-binding heme a(3) should be subject to fatal inhibition by chemicals that could compete with O2 binding. Near the CcO active site is another enzyme, NO synthase, which produces the gaseous hormone NO. NO can strongly bind to heme a(3), thus inhibiting respiration. However, this disaster does not occur. Using functional models for the CcO active site, we show how NO inhibition is avoided; in fact, it is found that NO can protect the respiratory enzyme from other inhibitors such as cyanide, a classic poison.

On the mechanism and biology of cytochrome oxidase inhibition by nitric oxide.

Project description:The detailed molecular mechanism for the reversible inhibition of mitochondrial respiration by NO has puzzled investigators: The rate constants for the binding of NO and O2 to the reduced binuclear center CuB/a3 of cytochrome oxidase (COX) are similar, and NO is able to dissociate slowly from this center whereas O2 is kinetically trapped, which altogether seems to favor the complex of COX with O2 over the complex of COX with NO. Paradoxically, the inhibition of COX by NO is observed at high ratios of O2 to NO (in the 40-500 range) and is very fast (seconds or faster). In this work, we used simple mathematical models to investigate this paradox and other important biological questions concerning the inhibition of COX by NO. The results showed that all known features of the inhibition of COX by NO can be accounted for by a direct competition between NO and O2 for the reduced binuclear center CuB/a3 of COX. Besides conciliating apparently contradictory data, this work provided an explanation for the so-called excess capacity of COX by showing that the COX activity found in tissues actually is optimized to avoid an excessive inhibition of mitochondrial respiration by NO, allowing a moderate, but not excessive, overlap between the roles of NO in COX inhibition and in cellular signaling. In pathological situations such as COX-deficiency diseases and chronic inflammation, an excessive inhibition of the mitochondrial respiration is predicted.

A functional nitric oxide reductase model.

Project description:A functional heme/nonheme nitric oxide reductase (NOR) model is presented. The fully reduced diiron compound reacts with two equivalents of NO leading to the formation of one equivalent of N(2)O and the bis-ferric product. NO binds to both heme Fe and nonheme Fe complexes forming individual ferrous nitrosyl species. The mixed-valence species with an oxidized heme and a reduced nonheme Fe(B) does not show NO reduction activity. These results are consistent with a so-called "trans" mechanism for the reduction of NO by bacterial NOR.

Functional interaction of endothelial nitric oxide synthase with a voltage-dependent anion channel.

Project description:Endothelium-derived nitric oxide (NO) is an important regulator of vascular function. NO is produced by endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) whose function is modulated, in part, by specific protein interactions. By coimmunoprecipitation experiments followed by MS analyses, we identified a human voltage-dependent anion/cation channel or porin as a binding partner of eNOS. The interaction between porin and eNOS was demonstrated by coimmunoprecipitation studies in nontransfected human endothelial cells and Cos-7 cells transiently transfected with eNOS and porin cDNAs. In vitro binding studies with glutathione S-transferase-porin indicated that porin binds directly to eNOS and that this interaction augmented eNOS activity. The calcium ionophore, and bradykinin, which are known to activate eNOS, markedly increased porin-eNOS interaction, suggesting a potential role of intracellular Ca(2+) in mediating this interaction. Theses results indicate that the interaction between a voltage-dependent membrane channel and eNOS may be important for regulating eNOS activity.

Transcriptional response of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to inhibition of Cytochrome bd oxidase and Cytochrome bcc:aa3 oxidase

Project description:Comparative analysis of the transcriptional response, as quantified by RNA-Seq, of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) during inhibition of the terminal cytochrome oxidases, Cytochrome bd oxidase and Cytochrome bcc:aa3. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy if a novel small molecule inhibitor of the Cytochrome bd oxidase. Specifically, we compared the transcriptional response of Mtb during inhibition by Q203 with a Cytochrome bd deletion mutant to the transcriptional response of Mtb treated with a combination of Q203 and the purported Cytorchomre bd small molecule inhibitor (ND-011992).

Reaction of Mycobacterium tuberculosis cytochrome P450 enzymes with nitric oxide.

Project description:During the initial growth infection stage of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), (*)NO produced by host macrophages inhibits heme-containing terminal cytochrome oxidases, inactivates iron/sulfur proteins, and promotes entry into latency. Here we evaluate the potential of (*)NO as an inhibitor of Mtb cytochrome P450 enzymes, as represented by CYP130, CYP51, and the two previously uncharacterized enzymes CYP125 and CYP142. Using UV-visible absorption, resonance Raman, and stopped-flow spectroscopy, we investigated the reactions of (*)NO with these heme proteins in their ferric resting form. (*)NO coordinates tightly to CYP125 and CYP142 (submicromolar) and with a lower affinity (micromolar) to CYP130 and CYP51. Anaerobic reduction of the ferric-NO species with sodium dithionite led to the formation of two spectrally distinct classes of five-coordinate ferrous-NO complexes. Exposure of these species to O(2) revealed that the ferrous-NO forms of CYP125 and CYP142 are labile and convert back to the ferric state within a few minutes, whereas ferrous CYP130 and CYP51 bind (*)NO almost irreversibly. This work clearly indicates that, at physiological concentrations (approximately 1 microM), (*)NO would impair the activity of CYP130 and CYP51, whereas CYP125 and CYP142 are more resistant. Selective P450 inhibition may contribute to the inhibitory effects of (*)NO on Mtb growth.

Advanced glycation end products inhibit glucose-stimulated insulin secretion through nitric oxide-dependent inhibition of cytochrome c oxidase and adenosine triphosphate synthesis.

Project description:Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are implicated in diabetic complications. However, their role in beta-cell dysfunction is less clear. In this study we examined the effects of AGEs on islet function in mice and in isolated islets. AGE-BSA or BSA was administered ip to normal mice twice a day for 2 wk. We showed that AGE-BSA-treated mice exhibited significantly higher glucose levels and lower insulin levels in response to glucose challenge than did BSA-treated mice, although there were no significant differences in insulin sensitivity and islet morphology between two groups. Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion by islets of the AGE-BSA-treated mice or AGE-BSA-treated normal islets was significantly lower than that by islets isolated from the BSA-treated mice or BSA-treated normal islets. Furthermore, AGE treatment of islet beta-cells inhibited ATP production, and glimepiride, a sulfonylurea derivative, restored glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Further investigation indicated that AGEs inhibited cytochrome c oxidase activity by inducing the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). Blocking the formation of nitric oxide with an iNOS selective inhibitor aminoguanidine reversed the inhibitory effects of AGEs on ATP production and insulin secretion. We conclude that AGEs inhibit cytochrome c oxidase and ATP production, leading to the impairment of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion through iNOS-dependent nitric oxide production.

Interaction of nitric oxide, 20-HETE, and EETs during functional hyperemia in whisker barrel cortex.

Project description:Nitric oxide (NO) modulates vasodilation in cerebral cortex during sensory activation. NO is known to inhibit the synthesis of 20-HETE, which has been implicated in arteriolar constriction during astrocyte activation in brain slices. We tested the hypothesis that the attenuated cerebral blood flow (CBF) response to whisker stimulation seen after NO synthase (NOS) inhibition requires 20-HETE synthesis and that the ability of an epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) antagonist to reduce the CBF response is blunted after NOS inhibition but restored with simultaneous blockade of 20-HETE synthesis. In anesthetized rats, the increase in CBF during whisker stimulation was attenuated after the blockade of neuronal NOS with 7-nitroindazole. Subsequent administration of the 20-HETE synthesis inhibitor N-hydroxy-N'-(4-n-butyl-2-methylphenyl)formamidine (HET0016) restored the CBF response to control levels. After the administration of 7-nitroindazole, the inhibitory effect of an EETs antagonist 14,15-epoxyeicosa-5(Z)-enoic acid (14,15-EEZE) on the CBF response was lost, whereas the simultaneous administration of 7-nitroindazole and HET0016 restored the inhibitory effect of 14,15-EEZE. The administration of HET0016 alone had only a small effect on the evoked CBF response in rats. Furthermore, in neuronal NOS(+/+) and NOS(-/-) mice, HET0016 administration did not increase the CBF response to whisker stimulation. In neuronal NOS(+/+) mice, HET0016 also blocked the reduction in the response seen with acute NOS inhibition. These results indicate that 20-HETE synthesis normally does not substantially restrict functional hyperemia. Increased NO production during functional activation may act dynamically to suppress 20-HETE synthesis or downstream signaling and permit EETs-dependent vasodilation. With the chronic loss of neuronal NOS in mice, other mechanisms apparently suppress 20-HETE synthesis or signaling.

Nitric oxide inhibition of respiration involves both competitive (heme) and noncompetitive (copper) binding to cytochrome c oxidase.

Project description:NO reversibly inhibits mitochondrial respiration via binding to cytochrome c oxidase (CCO). This inhibition has been proposed to be a physiological control mechanism and/or to contribute to pathophysiology. Oxygen reacts with CCO at a heme iron:copper binuclear center (a(3)/Cu(B)). Reports have variously suggested that during inhibition NO can interact with the binuclear center containing zero (fully oxidized), one (singly reduced), and two (fully reduced) additional electrons. It has also been suggested that two NO molecules can interact with the enzyme simultaneously. We used steady-state and kinetic modeling techniques to reevaluate NO inhibition of CCO. At high flux and low oxygen tensions NO interacts predominantly with the fully reduced (ferrous/cuprous) center in competition with oxygen. However, as the oxygen tension is raised (or the consumption rate is decreased) the reaction with the oxidized enzyme becomes increasingly important. There is no requirement for NO to bind to the singly reduced binuclear center. NO interacts with either ferrous heme iron or oxidized copper, but not both simultaneously. The affinity (K(D)) of NO for the oxygen-binding ferrous heme site is 0.2 nM. The noncompetitive interaction with oxidized copper results in oxidation of NO to nitrite and behaves kinetically as if it had an apparent affinity of 28 nM; at low levels of NO, significant binding to copper can occur without appreciable enzyme inhibition. The combination of competitive (heme) and noncompetitive (copper) modes of binding enables NO to interact with mitochondria across the full in vivo dynamic range of oxygen tension and consumption rates.

Inhibition of cytochrome c oxidase in turnover by nitric oxide: mechanism and implications for control of respiration.

Project description:Binding of nitric oxide (NO) to isolated cytochrome c oxidase in turnover was investigated by static and kinetic spectroscopic methods. These studies indicate that cytochrome c oxidase rapidly binds NO when the enzyme enters turnover. Our results show that NO binds to ferrocytochrome a3, competing with oxygen for this binding site. However, the main features of the binding process, in particular the rapid onset of inhibition, cannot be fully explained on this basis. We suggest, therefore, that there is a second binding site for NO, which has lower affinity but nevertheless plays an important role in the inhibitory process. A likely possibility is that CuB+ constitutes this second binding site. The fast onset of inhibition observed in the presence of NO, along with the dependence on the oxygen concentration, suggests that under physiological conditions, where the oxygen concentration is low, nanomolar concentrations of NO can effectively act as a regulator of the mitochondrial respiratory chain.
