UniProt functional annotation for P29473

UniProt code: P29473.

Organism: Bos taurus (Bovine).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Laurasiatheria; Artiodactyla; Ruminantia; Pecora; Bovidae; Bovinae; Bos.
 
Function: Produces nitric oxide (NO) which is implicated in vascular smooth muscle relaxation through a cGMP-mediated signal transduction pathway. NO mediates vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced angiogenesis in coronary vessels and promotes blood clotting through the activation of platelets.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=H(+) + 2 L-arginine + 3 NADPH + 4 O2 = 4 H2O + 2 L-citrulline + 3 NADP(+) + 2 nitric oxide; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:19897, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:15379, ChEBI:CHEBI:16480, ChEBI:CHEBI:32682, ChEBI:CHEBI:57743, ChEBI:CHEBI:57783, ChEBI:CHEBI:58349; EC=1.14.13.39;
Cofactor: Name=heme; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:30413;
Cofactor: Name=FAD; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:57692; Note=Binds 1 FAD.;
Cofactor: Name=FMN; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:58210; Note=Binds 1 FMN.;
Cofactor: Name=(6R)-L-erythro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:59560; Note=Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4). May stabilize the dimeric form of the enzyme.;
Activity regulation: Stimulated by calcium/calmodulin. Inhibited by NOSIP and NOSTRIN (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
Subunit: Homodimer. Interacts with NOSIP and NOSTRIN (By similarity). Interacts with HSP90AB1 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P29474}.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17071725}. Membrane, caveola {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17071725}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000250}. Golgi apparatus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17071725}. Note=Specifically associates with actin cytoskeleton in the G2 phase of the cell cycle; which is favored by interaction with NOSIP and results in a reduced enzymatic activity. {ECO:0000250}.
Ptm: Phosphorylation by AMPK at Ser-1179 in the presence of Ca(2+)- calmodulin (CaM) activates activity. In absence of Ca(2+)-calmodulin, AMPK also phosphorylates Thr-497, resulting in inhibition of activity. Phosphorylation of Ser-116 by CDK5 reduces activity (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
Similarity: Belongs to the NOS family. {ECO:0000305}.
