The nitric oxide transduction pathway in Trypanosoma cruzi

A nitric oxide synthase was partially purified from soluble extracts of Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigote forms. The conversion of L-arginine to citrulline by this enzyme activity required NADPH and was blocked by EGT(A). The reaction was activated by Ca2+, calmodulin, tetrahydrobiopterin, and FAD, and...

The conversion of L-arginine to citrulline by this enzyme activity required NADPH and was blocked by EGT(A). The reaction was activated by Ca2+, calmodulin, tetrahydrobiopterin, and FAD, and inhibited by N(ω)-methyl-L-arginine. L-Glutamate and N-methyl-D- aspartate stimulated in vivo conversion of L-arginine to citrulline by epimastigote cells. These stimulations could be blocked by EGTA, MK-801, and ketamine and enhanced by glycine. A sodium nitroprusside-activated guanylyl cyclase activity was detected in cell-free, soluble preparations of T. cruzi epimastigotes. L-Glutamate, N-methyl-D-aspartate, and sodium nitroprusside increased epimastigote cyclic GMP levels. MK-801 bound specifically to T. cruzi epimastigote cells. This binding was competed by ketamine and enhanced by glycine or L-serine. Evidence thus indicates that in T. cruzi epimastigotes, L-glutamate controls cyclic GMP levels through a pathway mediated by nitric oxide.
