The immunocytochemical localization of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in mitochondria isolated from heart, skeletal muscle and kidney, was deduced by using a monoclonal antibody directed against the endothelial form of the enzyme. This appears to be the first report suggesting the possibility that mitochondrially located NOS is a regulator of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation in mammalian cells.

This cogent review discusses programmed cell death (apoptosis) as a major mechanism for the regulation of cell numbers and as a defense mechanism to remove unwanted and potentially dangerous cells. Two main mechanisms of action have been proposed to connect Bcl-2 to caspases. In the first one, antiapoptotic Bcl-2 maintain cell survival by dragging caspases to intracellular membranes and by preventing their activation. In the second, Bcl-2 acts by regulating the release from mitochondria of caspases activators: cytochrome c and/or AIF (apoptosis-inducing factor). This crucial position of mitochondria in programmed cell death control is reinforced by the observation that mitochondria contribute to apoptosis signaling via the production of reactive oxygen species.

Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 1998, 95:7659-7663. The rate-limiting enzyme in dopamine synthesis, tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), is a selective target for nitration following exposure of PC12 cells to either peroxynitrite or 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion. Nitration of TH also occurs in mouse striatum after 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) administration. Nitration of tyrosine residues in TH results in loss of enzymatic activity. The resemblance of the MPTP model with Parkinson's disease (PD) suggests that a similar phenomenon may occur in PD, influencing the severity of Parkisonian symptoms.

J Biol Chem 1998, 273:8903-8909. Nitric oxide (NO) was found to quench the electron paramagnetic resonance signal generated by reaction of purified ram seminal vesicle prostaglandin H synthase with arachidonic acid, suggesting that NO coupled with a tyrosyl radical to form inter alia nitrosocyclohexadienone. Subsequent formation of nitrotyrosine was detected. The presence of superoxide dismutase had no effect on nitration, indicating that peroxynitrite was not the nitrating agent. Peptide sequencing indicated that a single modified residue was Tyr385, the source of the putative catalytically active tyrosyl radical.

J Biol Chem 1998, 273:22136-22144. This paper demonstrates that a loss of the essential tyrosine radical in ribonucleotide reductase was induced either by nitric oxide or peroxynitrite in vitro. The nitric oxide effect was found to be reversible, while scavenging of the tyrosine radical by peroxynitrite was irreversible. Formation of nitrotyrosine and dihydroxyphenylalanine was detected in peroxynitrite-modified protein.

J Biol Chem 1998, 273:15646-15653. Evidence is presented for the pharmacological manipulation of peroxynitrite with decomposition catalysts capable of converting it to nitrate. Cytoprotection was correlated with a reduction in the level of measurable nitrotyrosine. These studies provide compelling evidence for the involvement of peroxynitrite in cytokine-mediated cellular injury and suggest the therapeutic potential of peroxynitrite decomposition catalysts in reducing cellular damage at sites of inflammation.

The ortho, meta and para isomers of manganese(III) 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(N-methylpyridyl)porphyrin, MnTM-2-PyP, MnTM-3-PyP, and MnTM-4-PyP, respectively, were analyzed in terms of their superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in vitro and in vivo. The ortho and meta isomers, although of significantly different in vitro SOD activities, have close in vivo SOD efficacy due to their similarly weak interactions with DNA. In contrast, due to a higher degree of interaction with DNA, the para isomer inhibited growth of SOD-deficient E. coli.
