Function

NOS1_RAT 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. Probably has nitrosylase activity and mediates cysteine S-nitrosylation of cytoplasmic target proteins such SRR. Inhibitory transmitter for non-adrenergic and non-cholinergic nerves in the colorectum.

Publication Abstract from PubMed

The PDZ domain of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) functions as a scaffold for organizing the signal transduction complex of the enzyme. The NMR structure of a complex composed of the nNOS PDZ domain and an associated peptide suggests that a two-stranded beta-sheet C-terminal to the canonical PDZ domain may mediate its interaction with the PDZ domains of postsynaptic density-95 and alpha-syntrophin. The structure also provides the molecular basis of recognition of Asp-X-Val-COOH peptides by the nNOS PDZ domain. The role of the C-terminal extension in Asp-X-Val-COOH peptide binding is investigated. Additionally, NMR studies further show that the Asp-X-Val-COOH peptide and a C-terminal peptide from a novel cytosolic protein named CAPON bind to the same pocket of the nNOS PDZ domain.
