Revised Manuscript Received December 1, 1994® abstract: The heme-and flavin-binding domains of constitutive rat neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS) were expressed in Escherichia coli as distinct polypeptides with properties characteristic of the intact enzyme. The amino-terminal heme-binding domain (residues 1—714) was expressed using the expression vector pCW. The denatured molecular mass of the expressed protein was 80 kDa, and the protein was shown to be immunoreactive to rabbit anti-NOS IgG. The NOS hemoprotein exhibited a ferrous-carbon monoxide difference spectrum with a wavelength maximum at 445 nm. Spectral perturbation with L-arginine and BH4 elicited a type I difference spectrum, confirming thepresence of binding sites for these molecules within the N-terminal NOS polypeptide. Site-directed mutagenesis was applied to the putative axial heme ligand, cysteine-415, generating the histidine mutant, which confirmed the identity of the proximal ligand. NOS flavoproteins, with (Cl, residues 715—1429) and without (C2, residues 749—1429) an amino-terminal calmodulin-binding motif, were expressed using the vector pPROK-1. The Cl and C2 flavoproteins were immunoreactive to anti-NOS IgG and were sized at approximately 80 kDa. Both of the purified flavoproteins exhibited optical absorbance properties typical of a flavin prosthetic group, with wavelength maxima at 380 and450 nm, and were competent in NADPH-dependent electron transfer to cytochrome c, with observed rates of~ 2—4 umol/min/mg. The bacterial expression of the NO synthase heme-binding oxygenaseand flavoprotein oxidoreductase domains as isolated proteins with specific properties of the intact enzymerepresents an important development in structure—functionstudies of this complex enzyme.
