Summary

NOS1 (nitric oxide synthase 1, HGNC:7872) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12q24.22, encoding Nitric oxide synthase 1 (P29475). Produces nitric oxide (NO) which is a messenger molecule with diverse functions throughout the body.

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the family of nitric oxide synthases, which synthesize nitric oxide from L-arginine. Nitric oxide is a reactive free radical, which acts as a biologic mediator in several processes, including neurotransmission, and antimicrobial and antitumoral activities. In the brain and peripheral nervous system, nitric oxide displays many properties of a neurotransmitter, and has been implicated in neurotoxicity associated with stroke and neurodegenerative diseases, neural regulation of smooth muscle, including peristalsis, and penile erection. This protein is ubiquitously expressed, with high level of expression in skeletal muscle. Multiple transcript variants that differ in the 5’ UTR have been described for this gene but the full-length nature of these transcripts is not known. Additionally, alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms (some testis-specific) have been found for this gene.

Function. Produces nitric oxide (NO) which is a messenger molecule with diverse functions throughout the body. In the brain and peripheral nervous system, NO displays many properties of a neurotransmitter. Probably has nitrosylase activity and mediates cysteine S-nitrosylation of cytoplasmic target proteins such SRR.

Subunit / interactions. Homodimer. Interacts with DLG4; the interaction possibly being prevented by the association between NOS1 and CAPON. Forms a ternary complex with CAPON and RASD1. Forms a ternary complex with CAPON and SYN1. Interacts with ZDHHC23. Interacts with NOSIP; which may impair its synaptic location. Interacts with HTR4. Interacts with SLC6A4. Interacts with VAC14. Interacts (via N-terminal domain) with DLG4 (via N-terminal tandem pair of PDZ domains). Interacts with SLC6A4. Forms a complex with ASL, ASS1 and SLC7A1; the complex regulates cell-autonomous L-arginine synthesis and citrulline recycling while channeling extracellular L-arginine to nitric oxide synthesis pathway. Interacts with DMD; localizes NOS1 to sarcolemma in muscle cells. Interacts with DYNLL1; inhibits the nitric oxide synthase activity.

Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Sarcolemma. Cell projection. Dendritic spine.

Tissue specificity. Isoform 1 is ubiquitously expressed: detected in skeletal muscle and brain, also in testis, lung and kidney, and at low levels in heart, adrenal gland and retina. Not detected in the platelets. Isoform 3 is expressed only in testis. Isoform 4 is detected in testis, skeletal muscle, lung, and kidney, at low levels in the brain, but not in the heart and adrenal gland.

Post-translational modifications. Ubiquitinated; mediated by STUB1/CHIP in the presence of Hsp70 and Hsp40 (in vitro).

Activity regulation. Stimulated by calcium/calmodulin. Inhibited by DYNLL1 that prevents the dimerization of the protein. Inhibited by NOSIP.

Cofactor. Binds 1 FAD. Binds 1 FMN. Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4). May stabilize the dimeric form of the enzyme.

Domain organisation. The PDZ domain participates in protein-protein interaction, and is responsible for targeting nNos to synaptic membranes. Mediates interaction with VAC14.

Similarity. Belongs to the NOS family.

Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 196 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
