Glyceryl trinitrate specifically required cysteine, but NaNO2 at concentrations < 10 mM required 1 of several thiols or ascorbate, to activate soluble guanylate cyclase from bovine coronary artery. Guanylate cyclase activation by nitroprusside or nitric oxide did not require the addition of thiols or ascorbate. Various thiols enhanced activation by nitroprusside, none of the thiols tested enhanced activation by nitric oxide. S-Nitrosocysteine, which is formed when cysteine reacts with NO2- or nitric oxide, was a potent activator of guanylate cyclase. Similarly, micromolar concentrations of the S-nitroso derivatives of penicillamine, GSH [glutathione] and dithiothreitol, prepared by reacting the thiol with nitric oxide, activated guanylate cyclase. Guanylate cyclase activation by S-nitrosothiols resembled that by nitric oxide and nitroprusside in that activation was inhibited by methemoglobin, ferricyanide and methylene blue. Similarly, guanylate cyclase activation by glyceryl trinitrate plus cysteine and by NaNO2 plus a thiol or ascorbate, was inhibited by methemoglobin, ferricyanide and methylene blue. The activation of guanylate cyclase by each of the compounds tested may occur through a common mechanism, perhaps involving nitric oxide. S-Nitrosothiols could act as intermediates in the activation of guanylate cyclase by glyceryl trinitrate, NaNO2 and possibly nitroprusside.
