Differences in the regulatory elements of the NOS2 gene promoter among mammals. The decrease in pro-inflammatory-triggered NO production in primates lies in the lack of several motifs in the NOS2 gene promoter, which confers a restrictive transcriptional regulation of the gene and, therefore, limits the capacity of cells to accomplish high-output synthesis of NO.
