Abstract

The review highlights the molecular mechanism underlying the physiological effects of nitric oxide (NO), the role of signaling system: NO-soluble guanylate cyclase-cyclic 3′,5′-guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in the realization of NO action. This review considers data on basic chemical characteristics of guanylate cyclase, such as the subunits structure, isoforms, modern concepts of the catalytic and regulatory centers of this enzyme. Realization of physiological effects of NO by guanylate cyclase depends on its heme prostetic group. NO-dependent activation of guanylate cyclase may be synergistically increased by a new NO-independent, allosteric activator of soluble guanylate cyclase-YC-1-(benzyl indasol derivative). Special attention is paid to the data on guanylate cyclase sites responcible for binding of the enzyme with YC-1 and the possible molecular mechanism underlying the synergistic increase of NO-dependent activation of soluble guanylate cyclase by YC-1. New compounds of endogenous nature capable to potentiate and synergistically increase the activation of guanylate cyclase by NO-donors have been found and investigated. The important physiological, pharmacotherapeutical and pathophysiological significance of this new fact is discussed.
