1.14.14.47

Accepted name:

nitric-oxide synthase (flavodoxin)

Reaction:

2 L-arginine + 3 reduced flavodoxin + 4 O₂ = 2 L-citrulline + 2 nitric oxide + 3 oxidized flavodoxin + 4 H₂O (overall reaction)
(1a) 2 L-arginine + 2 reduced flavodoxin + 2 O₂ = 2 N^ω-hydroxy-L-arginine + 2 oxidized flavodoxin + 2 H₂O
(1b) 2 N^ω-hydroxy-L-arginine + reduced flavodoxin + 2 O₂ = 2 L-citrulline + 2 nitric oxide + oxidized flavodoxin + 2 H₂O

Glossary:

nitric oxide = NO = nitrogen(II) oxide

Other name(s):

nitric oxide synthetase (ambiguous); NO synthase (ambiguous)

Systematic name:

L-arginine,reduced-flavodoxin:oxygen oxidoreductase (nitric-oxide-forming)

Comments:

Binds heme (iron protoporphyrin IX) and tetrahydrobiopterin. The enzyme, found in bacteria and archaea, consist of only an oxygenase domain and functions together with bacterial ferredoxins or flavodoxins. The orthologous enzymes from plants and animals also contain a reductase domain and use only NADPH as the electron donor (cf. EC 1.14.13.39).
