Identification of residues in the heme domain of soluble guanylyl cyclase that are important for basal and stimulated catalytic activity.
Nitric oxide signals through activation of soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC), a heme-containing heterodimer. NO binds to the heme domain located in the N-terminal part of the β subunit of sGC resulting in increased production of cGMP in the catalytic domain located at the C-terminal part of sGC. Little...
