Spain, the The presence of nitric-oxide synthase (NOS) in
peroxisomes from leaves of pea plants (Pisum sativum L.)
was studied. Plant organelles were purified by differential and sucrose
density gradient centrifugation. In purified intact peroxisomes a
Ca2+-dependent NOS activity of 5.61 nmol of
L-[3H]citrulline mg

1 was measured while no activity was detected in
mitochondria. The peroxisomal NOS activity was clearly inhibited
(60-90%) by different well characterized inhibitors of mammalian NO
synthases. The immunoblot analysis of peroxisomes with a polyclonal
antibody against the C terminus region of murine iNOS revealed an
immunoreactive protein of 130 kDa. Electron microscopy
immunogold-labeling confirmed the subcellular localization of NOS in
the matrix of peroxisomes as well as in chloroplasts. The presence of
NOS in peroxisomes suggests that these oxidative organelles are a
cellular source of nitric oxide (NO) and implies new roles for
peroxisomes in the cellular signal transduction mechanisms.
