Nitric oxide inhibits mitochondrial NADH:ubiquinone reductase activity through peroxynitrite formation.

ABSTRACT: This study was aimed at assessing the effects of long-term exposure to NO of respiratory activities in mitochondria from different tissues (with different ubiquinol contents), under conditions that either promote or prevent the formation of peroxynitrite. Mitochondria and submitochondrial particles isolated from rat heart, liver and brain were exposed either to a steady-state concentration or to a bolus addition of NO. NO induced the mitochondrial production of superoxide anions, hydrogen peroxide and peroxynitrite, the latter shown by nitration of mitochondrial proteins. Long-term incubation of mitochondrial membranes with NO resulted in a persistent inhibition of NADH:cytochrome c reductase activity, interpreted as inhibition of NADH:ubiquinone reductase (Complex I) activity, whereas succinate:cytochrome c reductase activity, including Complex II and Complex III electron transfer, remained unaffected. This selective effect of NO and derived species was partially prevented by superoxide dismutase and uric acid. In addition, peroxynitrite mimicked the effect of NO, including tyrosine nitration of some Complex I proteins. These results seem to indicate that the inhibition of NADH:ubiquinone reductase (Complex I) activity depends on the NO-induced generation of superoxide radical and peroxynitrite and that Complex I is selectively sensitive to peroxynitrite. Inhibition of Complex I activity by peroxynitrite may have critical implications for energy supply in tissues such as the brain, whose mitochondrial function depends largely on the channelling of reducing equivalents through Complex I.

Nitric oxide inhibits biofilm formation by Vibrio fischeri via the nitric oxide sensor HnoX.

Project description:Nitric oxide (NO) is an important defense molecule secreted by the squid Euprymna scolopes and sensed by the bacterial symbiont, Vibrio fischeri, via the NO sensor HnoX. HnoX inhibits colonization through an unknown mechanism. The genomic location of hnoX adjacent to hahK, a recently identified positive regulator of biofilm formation, suggested that HnoX may inhibit colonization by controlling biofilm formation, a key early step in colonization. Indeed, the deletion of hnoX resulted in early biofilm formation in vitro, an effect that was dependent on HahK and its putative phosphotransfer residues. An allele of hnoX that encodes a protein with increased activity severely delayed wrinkled colony formation. Control occurred at the level of transcription of the syp genes, which produce the polysaccharide matrix component. The addition of NO abrogated biofilm formation and diminished syp transcription, effects that required HnoX. Finally, an hnoX mutant formed larger symbiotic biofilms. This work has thus uncovered a host-relevant signal controlling biofilm and a mechanism for the inhibition of biofilm formation by V. fischeri. The study of V. fischeri HnoX permits us to understand not only host-associated biofilm mechanisms, but also the function of HnoX domain proteins as regulators of important bacterial processes.

Biliverdin inhibits Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4) expression through nitric oxide-dependent nuclear translocation of biliverdin reductase.

Project description:The cellular response to an inflammatory stressor requires a proinflammatory cellular activation followed by a controlled resolution of the response to restore homeostasis. We hypothesized that biliverdin reductase (BVR) by binding biliverdin (BV) quells the cellular response to endotoxin-induced inflammation through phosphorylation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). The generated NO, in turn, nitrosylates BVR, leading to nuclear translocation where BVR binds to the Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4) promoter at the Ap-1 sites to block transcription. We show in macrophages that BV-induced eNOS phosphorylation (Ser-1177) and NO production are mediated in part by Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent kinase kinase. Furthermore, we show that BVR is S-nitrosylated on one of three cysteines and that this posttranslational modification is required for BVR-mediated signaling. BV-induced nuclear translocation of BVR and inhibition of TLR4 expression is lost in macrophages derived from Enos(-/-) mice. In vivo in mice, BV provides protection from acute liver damage and is dependent on the availability of NO. Collectively, we elucidate a mechanism for BVR in regulating the inflammatory response to endotoxin that requires eNOS-derived NO and TLR4 signaling in macrophages.

Nitric oxide regulates neutrophil migration through microparticle formation.

Project description:The role of nitric oxide (NO) in regulating neutrophil migration has been investigated. Human neutrophil migration to interleukin (IL)-8 (1 nmol/L) was measured after a 1-hour incubation using a 96-well chemotaxis plate assay. The NO synthase inhibitor N(G)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) significantly (P < 0.001) enhanced IL-8-induced migration by up to 45%. Anti-CD18 significantly (P < 0.001) inhibited both IL-8-induced and L-NAME enhanced migration. Antibodies to L-selectin or PSGL-1 had no effect on IL-8-induced migration but prevented the increased migration to IL-8 induced by L-NAME. L-NAME induced generation of neutrophil-derived microparticles that was significantly (P < 0.01) greater than untreated neutrophils or D-NAME. This microparticle formation was dependent on calpain activity and superoxide production. Only microparticles from L-NAME and not untreated or D-NAME-treated neutrophils induced a significant (P < 0.01) increase in IL-8-induced migration and transendothelial migration. Pretreatment of microparticles with antibodies to L-selectin (DREG-200) or PSGL-1 (PL-1) significantly (P < 0.001) inhibited this effect. The ability of L-NAME-induced microparticles to enhance migration was found to be dependent on the number of microparticles produced and not an increase in microparticle surface L-selectin or PSGL-1 expression. These data show that NO can modulate neutrophil migration by regulating microparticle formation.

NADH- and NADPH-dependent formation of superoxide anions by bovine heart submitochondrial particles and NADH-ubiquinone reductase preparation.

Project description:1. Both NADH and NADPH supported the oxidation of adrenaline to adrenochrome in bovine heart submitochondrial particles. The reaction was completely inhibited in the presence of superoxide dismutase, suggesting that superoxide anions (O(2) (-)) are responsible for the oxidation. The optimal pH of the reaction with NADPH was at pH7.5, whereas that with NADH was at pH9.0. The reaction was inhibited by treatment of the preparation with p-hydroxymercuribenzoate and stimulated by treatment with rotenone. Antimycin A and cyanide stimulated the reaction to the same extent as rotenone. The NADPH-dependent reaction was inhibited by inorganic salts at high concentrations, whereas the NADH-dependent reaction was stimulated. 2. Production of O(2) (-) by NADH-ubiquinone reductase preparation (Complex I) with NADH or NADPH as an electron donor was assayed by measuring the formation of adrenochrome or the reduction of acetylated cytochrome c which does not react with the respiratory-chain components. p-Hydroxymercuribenzoate inhibited the reaction and rotenone stimulated the reaction. The effects of pH and inorganic salts at high concentrations on the NADH- and NADPH-dependent reactions of Complex I were essentially similar to those on the reactions of submitochondrial particles. 3. These findings suggest that a region between a mercurialsensitive site and the rotenone-sensitive site of the respiratory-chain NADH dehydrogenase is largely responsible for the NADH- and NADPH-dependent O(2) (-) production by the mitochondrial inner membranes.

The polypeptide composition of the mitochondrial NADH: ubiquinone reductase complex from several mammalian species.

Project description:The polypeptide composition of isolated mitochondrial NADH:ubiquinone reductase (NADH dehydrogenase) is very similar to that of material immunoprecipitated from detergent-solubilized bovine heart submitochondrial particles by antisera to the holoenzyme. The specificity of the antisera for dehydrogenase polypeptides was determined by immunoblotting, which showed that antisera reacting with only a few proteins were able to immunoprecipitate all others in parallel. The polypeptide compositions of rat, rabbit and human NADH dehydrogenase were determined by immunoprecipitation of the enzyme from solubilized submitochondrial particles and proved to be very similar to that of the bovine heart enzyme, particularly in the high-Mr region. Further homologies in these and other species were explored by immunoblotting with antisera to the holoenzyme and monospecific antisera raised against iron-sulphur-protein subunits of the enzyme.

Reactions of nitric oxide with mitochondrial cytochrome c: a novel mechanism for the formation of nitroxyl anion and peroxynitrite.

Project description:The aerobic reactions of nitric oxide with cytochrome c were analysed. Nitric oxide (NO) reacts with ferrocytochrome c at a rate of 200 M-1 s-1 to form ferricytochrome c and nitroxyl anion (NO-). Ferricytochrome c was detected by optical spectroscopy; NO- was detected by trapping with metmyoglobin (Mb3+) to form the EPR-detectable Mb-nitrosyl complex, and by the formation of dimers in yeast ferrocytochrome c via cross-linking of the free cysteine residue. The NO- formed subsequently reacted with oxygen to form peroxynitrite, as measured by the oxidation of dihydrorhodamine 123. NO binds to ferricytochrome c to form the ferricytochrome c-NO complex. The on-rate for this reaction is 1.3+/-0.4x10(3) M-1.s-1, and the off-rate is 0.087+/-0.054 s-1. The dissociation constant (Kd) of the complex is 22+/-7 microM. These reactions of NO with cytochrome c are likely to be relevant to mitochondrial metabolism of NO. Ferricytochrome c can act as a reversible sink for excess NO in the mitochondria. The reduction of NO to NO- by ferrocytochrome c may play a role in the irreversible inhibition of mitochondrial oxygen consumption by peroxynitrite. It is generally assumed that peroxynitrite would be formed in mitochondria via the reaction of NO with superoxide. The finding that NO- is formed from the reaction of NO and ferrocytochrome c provides a means of producing peroxynitrite in the absence of superoxide, via the reaction of NO- with oxygen.

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.

Modulating Nitric Oxide Dioxygenase and Nitrite Reductase of Cytoglobin through Point Mutations.

Project description:Cytoglobin is a hexacoordinate hemoglobin with physiological roles that are not clearly understood. Previously proposed physiological functions include nitric oxide regulation, oxygen sensing, or/and protection against oxidative stress under hypoxic/ischemic conditions. Like many globins, cytoglobin rapidly consumes nitric oxide under normoxic conditions. Under hypoxia, cytoglobin generates nitric oxide, which is strongly modulated by the oxidation state of the cysteines. This gives a plausible role for this biochemistry in controlling nitric oxide homeostasis. Mutations to control specific properties of hemoglobin and myoglobin, including nitric oxide binding/scavenging and the nitrite reductase activity of various globins, have been reported. We have mapped these key mutations onto cytoglobin, which represents the E7 distal ligand, B2/E9 disulfide, and B10 heme pocket residues, and examined the nitric oxide binding, nitric oxide dioxygenase activity, and nitrite reductase activity. The Leu46Trp mutation decreases the nitric oxide dioxygenase activity > 10,000-fold over wild type, an effect 1000 times greater than similar mutations with other globins. By understanding how particular mutations can affect specific reactivities, these mutations may be used to target specific cytoglobin activities in cell or animal models to help understand the precise role(s) of cytoglobin under physiological and pathophysiological conditions.

The subunit composition of mitochondrial NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) from Pichia pastoris.

Project description:Respiratory complex I (NADH:quinone oxidoreductase) is an entry point to the electron transport chain in the mitochondria of many eukaryotes. It is a large, multisubunit enzyme with a hydrophilic domain in the matrix and a hydrophobic domain in the mitochondrial inner membrane. Here we present a comprehensive analysis of the protein composition and post-translational modifications of complex I from Pichia pastoris, using a combination of proteomic and bioinformatic approaches. Forty-one subunits were identified in P. pastoris complex I, comprising the 14 core (conserved) subunits and 27 supernumerary subunits; seven of the core subunits are mitochondrial encoded. Three of the supernumerary subunits (named NUSM, NUTM, and NUUM) have not been observed previously in any species of complex I. However, homologues to all three of them are present in either Yarrowia lipolytica or Pichia angusta complex I. P. pastoris complex I has 39 subunits in common with Y. lipolytica complex I, 37 in common with N. crassa complex I, and 35 in common with the bovine enzyme. The mitochondrial encoded subunits (translated by the mold mitochondrial genetic code) retain their N-α-formyl methionine residues. At least eight subunits are N-α-acetylated, but the N-terminal modifications of the nuclear encoded subunits are not well-conserved. A combination of two methods of protein separation (SDS-PAGE and HPLC) and three different mass spectrometry techniques (peptide mass fingerprinting, tandem MS and molecular mass measurements) were required to define the protein complement of P. pastoris complex I. This requirement highlights the need for inclusive and comprehensive strategies for the characterization of challenging membrane-bound protein complexes containing both hydrophilic and hydrophobic components.

Inducible nitric oxide synthase is key to peroxynitrite-mediated, LPS-induced protein radical formation in murine microglial BV2 cells.

Project description:Microglia are the resident immune cells in the brain. Microglial activation is characteristic of several inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease. Though lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced microglial activation in models of Parkinson's disease is well documented, the free radical-mediated protein radical formation and its underlying mechanism during LPS-induced microglial activation are not known. Here we have used immuno-spin trapping and RNA interference to investigate the role of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in peroxynitrite-mediated protein radical formation in murine microglial BV2 cells treated with LPS. Treatment of BV2 cells with LPS resulted in morphological changes, induction of iNOS, and increased protein radical formation. Pretreatments with FeTPPS (a peroxynitrite decomposition catalyst), L-NAME (total NOS inhibitor), 1400W (iNOS inhibitor), and apocynin significantly attenuated LPS-induced protein radical formation and tyrosine nitration. Results obtained with coumarin-7-boronic acid, a highly specific probe for peroxynitrite detection, correlated with LPS-induced tyrosine nitration, which demonstrated involvement of peroxynitrite in protein radical formation. A similar degree of protection conferred by 1400W and L-NAME led us to conclude that only iNOS, and no other forms of NOS, is involved in LPS-induced peroxynitrite formation. Subsequently, siRNA for iNOS, the iNOS-specific inhibitor 1400W, the NF-?B inhibitor PDTC, and the p38 MAPK inhibitor SB202190 was used to inhibit iNOS directly or indirectly. Inhibition of iNOS precisely correlated with decreased protein radical formation in LPS-treated BV2 cells. The time course of protein radical formation also matched the time course of iNOS expression. Taken together, these results prove the role of iNOS in peroxynitrite-mediated protein radical formation in LPS-treated microglial BV2 cells.
