Ornithine decarboxylase is the initial and
rate-limiting enzyme in the polyamine biosynthetic pathway.
Polyamines are found in all mammalian cells and are required for cell
growth. We previously demonstrated that N-hydroxyarginine
and nitric oxide inhibit tumor cell proliferation by inhibiting
arginase and ornithine decarboxylase, respectively, and, therefore,
polyamine synthesis. In addition, we showed that nitric oxide inhibits
purified ornithine decarboxylase by S-nitrosylation. Herein
we provide evidence for the chemical mechanism by which nitric oxide
and S-nitrosothiols react with cysteine residues in
ornithine decarboxylase to form an S-nitrosothiol(s) on the
protein. The diazeniumdiolate nitric oxide donor agent 1-diethyl-2-hydroxy-2-nitroso-hydrazine acts through an
oxygen-dependent mechanism leading to formation of the
nitrosating agents N2O3 and/or
N2O4. S-Nitrosoglutathione inhibits
ornithine decarboxylase by an oxygen-independent mechanism likely by
S-transnitrosation. In addition, we provide evidence for
the S-nitrosylation of 4 cysteine residues per ornithine
decarboxylase monomer including cysteine 360, which is critical for
enzyme activity. Finally S-nitrosylated ornithine
decarboxylase was isolated from intact cells treated with nitric oxide,
suggesting that nitric oxide may regulate ornithine decarboxylase
activity by S-nitrosylation in vivo.
