General annotation (Comments)

Function

Produces nitric oxide (NO) which is a messenger molecule with diverse functions throughout the body. In the brain and peripheral nervous system, NO displays many properties of a neurotransmitter. Inhibitory transmitter for non-adrenergic and non-cholinergic nerves in the colorectum.

Catalytic activity

L-arginine + n NADPH + n H+ + m O2 = citrulline + nitric oxide + n NADP+.

Cofactor

Heme group By similarity.

Binds 1 FAD By similarity.

Binds 1 FMN By similarity.

Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4). May stabilize the dimeric form of the enzyme By similarity.

Enzyme regulation

Stimulated by calcium/calmodulin. Inhibited by n-Nos-inhibiting protein (PIN) which may prevent the dimerization of the protein By similarity. Inhibited by NOSIP.

Subunit structure

Homodimer. Interacts with DLG4; the interaction possibly being prevented by the association between NOS1 and CAPON By similarity. Forms a ternary complex with CAPON and RASD1. Forms a ternary complex with CAPON and SYN1. Interacts with ZDHHC23. Interacts with NOSIP; which may impair its synaptic location. Interacts with HTR4 By similarity.

Subcellular location

Cell membranesarcolemma; Peripheral membrane protein By similarity. Cell projectiondendritic spine By similarity. Note: In skeletal muscle, it is localized beneath the sarcolemma of fast-twitch muscle fiber by associating with the dystrophin glycoprotein complex By similarity. In neurons, enriched in dendritic spines.

Tissue specificity

Isoform N-NOS-1 is expressed in brain and colorectum. Found in the Auerbach's plexus of the enteric nervous system. Isoform PNNOS is expressed in the penis, urethra, prostate, and skeletal muscle, and coexists with the cerebellar nnos in the pelvic plexus, bladder and liver, and is detectable in the cerebellum. Ref.3

Domain

The PDZ domain in the N-terminal part of the neuronal isoform participates in protein-protein interaction, and is responsible for targeting nNos to synaptic membranes in muscles By similarity.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the NOS family.

Contains 1 FAD-binding FR-type domain.

Contains 1 flavodoxin-like domain.

Contains 1 PDZ (DHR) domain.
