Nitric oxide (NO), the product of the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) reaction, was previously shown to result inS-nitrosation of the NOS Zn2+-tetrathiolate and inactivation of the enzyme. To probe the potential physiological significance of NOSS-nitrosation, we determined the inactivation time scale of the inducible NOS isoform (iNOS) and found it directly correlates with an increase in the level of iNOSS-nitrosation. A kinetic model of NOS inactivation in which arginine is treated as a suicide substrate was developed. In this model, NO synthesized at the heme cofactor is partitioned between release into solution (NO release pathway) and NOSS-nitrosation followed by NOS inactivation (inactivation pathway). Experimentally determined progress curves of NO formation were fit to the model. The NO release pathway was perturbed through addition of the NO traps oxymyoglobin (MbO2) and β2 H-NOX, which yielded partition ratios between NO release and inactivation of ∼100 at 4 μM MbO2and ∼22000 at saturating trap concentrations. The results suggest that a portion of the NO synthesized at the heme cofactor reacts with the Zn2+-tetrathiolate without being released into solution. Perturbation of the inactivation pathway through addition of the reducing agent GSH or TCEP resulted in a concentration-dependent decrease in the level of iNOSS-nitrosation that directly correlated with protection from iNOS inactivation. iNOS inactivation was most responsive to physiological concentrations of GSH with an apparentKmvalue of 13 mM. NOS turnover that leads to NOSS-nitrosation might be a mechanism for controlling NOS activity, and NOSS-nitrosation could play a role in the physiological generation of nitrosothiols.
