Abstract excerpt
In the crystal structure of a calmodulin (CaM)-bound FMN domain of human inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS), the CaM-binding region together with CaM forms a hinge, and pivots on an R536(NOS)/E47(CaM) pair (Xia et al. J Biol Chem 284:30708-30717, 2009). Notably, isoform-specific human inducible NOS S562 and C563 residues form hydrogen bonds with the R536 residue through their backbone oxygens. In this study,...
