The present study tests the hypothesis that nitration is a potential mechanism of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor modification, by assessing the effect of peroxynitrite in vitro on the glutamate and ion-channel sites of the NMDA receptor in the fetal guinea pig. Nitration of NMDA receptor subunits was confirmed by Western blot. Following peroxynitrite exposure, H-3-MK-801 bindings show an increase in the B-max and a decrease in the K-d, while H-3-glutamate bindings show a decrease in the K-d with no change in the B-max. We conclude that peroxynitrite regulates the NMDA receptor function by increasing the affinity of the ion-channel and glutamate sites, and by exposing additional ion-channel sites. We propose that nitration of the NMDA receptor is a potential mechanism for the regulation of the receptor during hypoxia. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
