Also known as iNOSNOSHEP-NOS
Summary
NOS2 (nitric oxide synthase 2, HGNC:7873) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 17q11.2, encoding Nitric oxide synthase, inducible (P35228). Produces nitric oxide (NO) which is a messenger molecule with diverse functions throughout the body.
Nitric oxide is a reactive free radical which acts as a biologic mediator in several processes, including neurotransmission and antimicrobial and antitumoral activities. This gene encodes a nitric oxide synthase which is expressed in liver and is inducible by a combination of lipopolysaccharide and certain cytokines. Three related pseudogenes are located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17.

Function. Produces nitric oxide (NO) which is a messenger molecule with diverse functions throughout the body. In macrophages, NO mediates tumoricidal and bactericidal actions. Also has nitrosylase activity and mediates cysteine S-nitrosylation of cytoplasmic target proteins such PTGS2/COX2. As component of the iNOS-S100A8/9 transnitrosylase complex involved in the selective inflammatory stimulus-dependent S-nitrosylation of GAPDH on ‘Cys-247’ implicated in regulation of the GAIT complex activity and probably multiple targets including ANXA5, EZR, MSN and VIM. Involved in inflammation, enhances the synthesis of pro-inflammatory mediators such as IL6 and IL8.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer. Interacts with NHERF1. Interacts with GAPDH; induced by oxidatively-modified low-densitity lipoprotein (LDL(ox)). Interacts with S100A8 and S100A9 to form the iNOS-S100A8/9 transnitrosylase complex. Interacts with SPSB1, SPSB2 and SPSB4. Interacts with ELOC and CUL5 in the presence of SPSB1 or SPSB2 or SPSB4. Forms a complex with ASL, ASS1 and HSP90AA1; the complex regulates cell-autonomous L-arginine synthesis and citrulline recycling while channeling extracellular L-arginine to nitric oxide synthesis pathway.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytosol.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in the liver, retina, bone cells and airway epithelial cells of the lung. Not expressed in the platelets. Expressed in chondrocytes.
Post-translational modifications. Polyubiquitinated; mediated by SPSB1, SPSB2 and SPSB4, leading to proteasomal degradation.
Activity regulation. Regulated by calcium/calmodulin. Aspirin inhibits expression and function of this enzyme and effects may be exerted at the level of translational/post-translational modification and directly on the catalytic activity.
Cofactor. Binds 1 FAD. Binds 1 FMN. Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4). May stabilize the dimeric form of the enzyme.
Induction. By endotoxins and cytokines. Induced by IFNG/IFN-gamma acting synergistically with bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS), TNF or IL1B/interleukin-1 beta. Down-regulated by zinc due to inhibition of NF-kappa-B transactivation activity. By oxidatively-modified low-densitity lipoprotein (LDL(ox)).
Polymorphism. Genetic variations in NOS2 are involved in resistance to malaria [MIM:611162].
Similarity. Belongs to the NOS family.
