Abstract

The presence of nitric-oxide synthase (NOS) in peroxisomes from leaves of pea plants (Pisum sativum L.) was studied. Plant organelles were purified by differential and sucrose density gradient centrifugation. In purified intact peroxisomes a Ca(2+)-dependent NOS activity of 5.61 nmol of L-[(3)H]citrulline mg(-1) protein min(-1) was measured while no activity was detected in mitochondria. The peroxisomal NOS activity was clearly inhibited (60-90%) by different well characterized inhibitors of mammalian NO synthases. The immunoblot analysis of peroxisomes with a polyclonal antibody against the C terminus region of murine iNOS revealed an immunoreactive protein of 130 kDa. Electron microscopy immunogold-labeling confirmed the subcellular localization of NOS in the matrix of peroxisomes as well as in chloroplasts. The presence of NOS in peroxisomes suggests that these oxidative organelles are a cellular source of nitric oxide (NO) and implies new roles for peroxisomes in the cellular signal transduction mechanisms.

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.
