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. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMed The high level of amino acid conservation and structural similarity in the immediate vicinity of the substrate binding sites of the oxygenase domains of the nitric-oxide synthase (NOS) isoforms (eNOSoxy, iNOSoxy, and nNOSoxy) make the interpretation of the structural basis of inhibitor isoform specificity a challenge and provide few clues for the design of new selective compounds. Crystal structures of iNOSoxy and nNOSoxy complexed with the inhibitors W1400 and Nomega-propyl-l-arginine provide a rationale for their isoform specificity. It involves differences outside the immediate active site as well as a conformational flexibility in the active site that allows the adoption of distinct conformations in response to interactions with the inhibitors. This flexibility is determined by isoform-specific residues outside the active site. Structural basis for the specificity of the nitric-oxide synthase inhibitors W1400 and Nomega-propyl-L-Arg for the inducible and neuronal isoforms.,Fedorov R, Hartmann E, Ghosh DK, Schlichting I J Biol Chem. 2003 Nov 14;278(46):45818-25.
