To investigate whether tetrahydrobiopterin functions as an allosteric effector of NOS, we have analyzed the effect of the pteridine on the conformation of neuronal NOS purified from porcine brain by means of circular dichroism, velocity sedimentation, dynamic light scattering and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. We report for the first time the secondary structure of NOS, showing that the neuronal isozyme contains 30% alpha-helix, 14% antiparallel beta-sheet, 7% parallel beta-sheet, 19% turns and 31% other structures. The secondary structure of neuronal NOS was neither modulated nor stabilized by tetrahydrobiopterin, and the pteridine did not affect the quaternary structure of the protein, which appears to be an elongated homodimer with an axial ratio of approximately 20/1 under native conditions. Low temperature SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed that tetrahydrobiopterin and L-arginine synergistically convert neuronal NOS into an exceptionally stable, non-covalently linked homodimer surviving in 2% SDS and 5% 2-mercaptoethanol. Ligand-induced formation of an SDS-resistant dimer is unprecedented and suggests a novel role for tetrahydrobiopterin and L-arginine in the allosteric regulation of protein subunit interactions.
