摘要

In plants, nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity has been detected in several plant species when mammalian NOS inhibitors have been used to inhibit NO production [1]. One of the most frustrating aspects of research on NOS-dependent NO biosynthesis in plants is that although NOS activity has been detected in plants, no gene or protein with a sequence similar to mammalian NOS has been found in the sequenced Arabidopsis genome. These findings indicate that plants have a different NOS enzyme. AtNOS1 was first identified during a search for an Arabidopsis homologous protein with a sequence similarity to a distinct NOS that was characterized in the nervous system of the snail Helix pomatia. The snail NOS gene encodes a 60 kDa protein with no sequence homology to mammalian NOS isoforms and, when expressed in Escherichia coli, increases NO synthesis in crude extracts [2]. The role of AtNOS1 in NO biosynthesis in vivo was examined in a homozygous mutant line, Atnos1, and was measured with 4,5-diaminofluorescein diacetate (DAF-2 DA) dye. NO levels were found to be much lower in roots of Atnos1 mutant plants compared with wild type when grown on plates or treated with abscisic acid (ABA). More importantly, NOS activity in protein extracts from the mutant leaves was only 20% of the activity in wild-type extracts [3]. Other laboratories have confirmed these findings - they have reported that Atnos1 is 20% of the wild-type level of NO measured using NO-specific electrodes [4] and using 4-amino-5-methylamino-2',7'-difluorofluorescein (DAF-FM) fluorescence in Arabidopsis leaves [5]. In addition, the Atnos1 mutant shows a dramatic increase in susceptibility to the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae [5] and reduced NO production in response to ABA [6]. Theseresults show that AtNOS1 is an important source of NO, needed not only for signaling but also for plant defense responses.
