Pressure-overload-induced subcellular relocalization/oxidation of soluble guanylyl cyclase in the heart modulates enzyme stimulation.


Abstract

Pressure overload depresses NO/heme-dependent sGC activation in the heart, consistent with enhanced oxidation.

The data reveal a novel additional mechanism for reduced NO-coupled sGC activity related to dynamic shifts in membrane microdomain localization, with Cav3-microdomains protecting sGC from heme-oxidation and facilitating NO responsiveness.

Translocation of sGC out of this domain favors sGC oxidation and contributes to depressed NO-stimulated sGC activity.
