Popis: Nitric oxide (NO) is a regulator of growth, development, and stress responses in living organisms. Plant nitrate reductases (NR) catalyze the reduction of nitrate to nitrite or, alternatively, to NO. In plants, NO action and its targets remain incompletely understood, and the way NO regulates its own homeostasis remains to be elucidated. A significant transcriptome overlapping between NO-deficient mutant and NO-treated wild type plants suggests that NO could negatively regulate its biosynthesis. A significant increase in NO content was detected in transgenic plants overexpressing NR1 and NR2 proteins. In turn, NR protein and activity as well as NO content, decreased in wild-type plants exposed to a pulse of NO gas. Tag-aided immunopurification procedures followed by tandem mass spectrometry allowed identifying NO-triggered post-translational modifications (PTMs) and ubiquitylation sites in NRs. Nitration of tyrosine residues and S-nitrosation of cysteine residues affected key amino acids involved in binding the essential FAD and molybdenum cofactors. NO-related PTMs were accompanied by ubiquitylation of lysine residues flanking the nitration and S-nitrosation sites. NO-induced PTMs of NRs potentially inhibit their activities and promote their proteasome-mediated degradation. This auto-regulatory feedback loop may control nitrate assimilation to ammonium and nitrite-derived production of NO under complex environmental conditions.
