1 Although decreased nitric oxide (NO) production via decreased phosphorylation of endothelial NO synthase at serine 1179 (eNOS-Ser(1179)) was reported to be partly involved in JNK2-derived endothelial dysfunction, JNK2 seems likely to be indirectly involved in this signaling pathway. Serine nitric oxide synthase 3 Bos taurus
2 Although decreased nitric oxide (NO) production via decreased phosphorylation of endothelial NO synthase at serine 1179 (eNOS-Ser(1179)) was reported to be partly involved in JNK2-derived endothelial dysfunction, JNK2 seems likely to be indirectly involved in this signaling pathway. Serine nitric oxide synthase 3 Bos taurus
3 Here, using bovine aortic endothelial cells, we examined whether JNK2 directly phosphorylated eNOS-Ser(116), a putative substrate site for the MAPK superfamily, and this phosphorylation resulted in decreased NO release. Serine nitric oxide synthase 3 Bos taurus
4 JNK inhibitor SP60012 increased NO release in a time- and dose-dependent manner, which was accompanied by increased eNOS-Ser(116) phosphorylation. Serine nitric oxide synthase 3 Bos taurus
5 Purified JNK2 directly phosphorylated eNOS-Ser(116)in vitro. Serine nitric oxide synthase 3 Bos taurus
6 Ectopic expression of dominant negative JNK2 repressed eNOS-Ser(116) phosphorylation and increased NO production. Serine nitric oxide synthase 3 Bos taurus
7 Overall, this study indicates that JNK2 is a physiological kinase responsible for eNOS-Ser(116) phosphorylation and regulates NO production. Serine nitric oxide synthase 3 Bos taurus
