Nitric oxide synthase purified from rat brain, which is Ca2+and calmodulin dependent, was phosphorylated by calcium calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II as well as protein kinase C. Phosphorylation by calcium calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II resulted in a marked decrease in enzyme activity (33% of control) without changing the co-factor requirements, whereas a moderate increase in enzyme activity (140% of control) was observed after phosphorylation by protein kinase C. These findings indicate that brain nitric oxide synthase activity may be regulated not only by Ca2+/calmodulin and several co-factors, but also by phosphorylation.
