EPR characterization of molecular targets for NO in mammalian cells and organelles

Abstract: Nitric oxide is synthesized in mammalian cells from L-arginine or from pharmaceutical drugs. It forms paramagnetic complexes with some metalloproteins, inhibiting key enzymes in DNA synthesis, mitochondrial respiration, iron metabolism, etc. This article reviews how electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy helps to detect unambiguously such specific molecular targets for NO in mammalian whole cells and organelles. EPR has also been used for the detection of spin adducts of free NO by spin-trapping methods.

“…5 NO has multiple intracellular targets that could potentially affect cell growth. [15][16][17] These include protein tyrosine nitration by generating peroxynitrite, nitrosylation of thiol residues, ADP-ribosylation, ribonucleotide reductase inhibition, and the induction of DNA strand breaks. In the current work, we show that NO induces apoptosis in HL-60 and U937 cells in a dose-dependent fashion, with the rank order of effectiveness for apoptosis and for inhibiting cell growth in liquid and semisolid media being comparable.…”

“…[3][4][5][6] The increased hydrogen peroxide, and also the acidosis induced by ischemia can release iron from its binding proteins leading to an increased concentration of non-protein-bound iron (NPBI) in plasma. [7][8][9] Iron delocalization or misregulation of iron metabolism may play a critical role in brain injury. [10][11][12] As a powerful pro-oxidant, NPBI has the ability to convert hydrogen peroxide into the highly toxic hydroxyl radical.…”

“…The importance of this interaction cannot be overstated because several Fe-S cluster proteins located within mitochondria comprise the most abundant non-heme proteins within the cell. Candidate proteins include: aconitase, NADH ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I), succinate ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex II), and ubiquinol cytochrome C oxidoreductase (complex III) (16,17). Excess NO is known to inhibit cell respiration presumably by targeting mitochondrial Fe-S cluster proteins.…”
