New insight into the functioning of nitric oxide-receptive guanylyl cyclase: physiological and pharmacological implications
Abstract
The cellular counterpart of the "soluble" guanylyl cyclase found in tissue homogenates over 30 years ago is now recognized as the physiological receptor for nitric oxide (NO). The ligand-binding site is a prosthetic haem group that, when occupied by NO, induces a conformational change in the protein that propagates to the catalytic site, triggering conversion of GTP into cGMP. This review focuses on recent research that takes this basic information forward to the beginnings of a quantitative depiction of NO signal transduction, analogous to that achieved for other major transmitters. At its foundation is an explicit enzyme-linked receptor mechanism for NO-activated guanylyl cyclase that replicates all its main properties. In cells, NO signal transduction is subject to additional, activity-dependent modifications, notably through receptor desensitization and changes in the activity of cGMP-hydrolyzing phosphodiesterases. The measurement of these parameters under varying conditions in rat platelets has made it possible to formulate a cellular model of NO-cGMP signaling. The model helps explain cellular responses to NO and their modification by therapeutic agents acting on the guanylyl cyclase or phosphodiesterase limbs of the pathway.

“For instance, sGC does not bind O2 but does form 5-coordinate Fe2+·NO complexes, which subsequently activate the enzyme and are responsible for the cGMP-dependent effects of NO.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
