Dependence of the ·NO signal derived
from NOS on H4Bip, Arg, and SOD. CaM was added at 0 min.
(A) ·NO formation from CaM-activated NOS (30 μg)
expressed in mV of the electrode signal either in the presence of 35.7
μM SOD, with (○) or without (▪) 10 μM
H4Bip, or in the absence of SOD (•), when no
signal was observed, irrespective of whether H4Bip was
present. Tracings are representative of six experiments with similar
results. (B) ·NO formation from NOS (1.7 μg) in the
presence of 35.7 μM SOD and abolition upon addition of 1 mM
Nω-nitro-l-arginine
(NO2Arg). (C) Dependence of ·NO formation
from NOS (0.7 μg) on time of SOD addition, which was at 0
(○) or 12 min (•).
