Oxidations ofl-arginine2, homo-l-arginine1, theirNω-hydroxy derivatives4and3(NOHA and homo-NOHA, respectively), and fourN-hydroxyguanidines,Nω-hydroxynor-l-arginine5(nor-NOHA),Nω-hydroxydinor-l-arginine6(dinor-NOHA),N-(4-chlorophenyl)-N‘-hydroxyguanidine (8), andN-hydroxyguanidine (7) itself, by either NOS II or (6R)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-l-biopterin (BH4)-free NOS II, have been studied in a comparative manner. Recombinant BH4-free NOS II catalyzes the oxidation of allN-hydroxyguanidines by NADPH and O2, with formation of NO2-and NO3-at rates between 20 and 80 nmol min-1(mg of protein)-1. In the case of compound8, formation of the corresponding urea and cyanamide was also detected besides that of NO2-and NO3-. These BH4-free NOS II-dependent reactions are inhibited by modulators of electron transfer in NOS such as thiocitrulline (TC) or imidazole (ImH), but not by Arg, and are completely suppressed by superoxide dismutase (SOD). They exhibit characteristics very similar to those previously reported for microsomal cytochrome P450-catalyzed oxidation ofN-hydroxyguanidines. Both P450 and BH4-free NOS II reactions appear to be mainly performed by O2•-derived from the oxidase function of those heme proteins. In the presence of increasing concentrations of BH4, these nonselective oxidations progressively disappear while a much more selective monooxygenation takes place only with theN-hydroxyguanidines that are recognized well by NOS II, NOHA, homo-NOHA, and8. These monooxygenations are much more chemoselective (8being selectively transformed into the corresponding urea and NO) and are inhibited by Arg but not by SOD, as expected for reactions performed by the NOS FeII−O2species. Altogether, these results provide a further clear illustration of the key role of BH4in regulating the monooxygenase/oxidase ratio in NOS. They also suggest a possible implication of NOSs in the oxidative metabolism of certain classes of xenobiotics such asN-hydroxyguanidines, not only via their monooxygenase function but also via their oxidase function.
