Quantitative regulation of intracellular endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS) coupling by both tetrahydrobiopterin-eNOS stoichiometry and biopterin redox status: insights from cells with tet-regulated GTP cyclohydrolase I expression.
Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is a critical determinant of endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS) activity. In the absence of BH4, eNOS becomes "uncoupled" and generates superoxide rather than NO. However, the stoichiometry of intracellular BH4/eNOS interactions is not well defined, and it i...
