During infection, nitric oxide (NO) formed in macrophages contribute to restrict bacteria in latency
However, the toxic effects of NO can be minimized by resistance mechanisms; this is the role played by the truncated hemoglogin N, which converts NO to the harmless nitrate anion.
Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (Electron micrograph)
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a threat to the health and well-being of people around the world.
Among infectious diseases, it is the second leading killer of adults in the world (2
million TB-related deaths each year + latently persist in 1 billion people).

The Tyr33-Gln58 pair is essential for trHbN because it contributes:
1) to modulate binding affinity of O2 to the heme,
2) to assist anchoring of the incoming NO reactant, and
3) to act as a molecular switch that regulates access of NO through the long branch of the tunnel

ConclusionTrHbN has evolved to develop a mechanism for selective ligand diffusion to ensure survival under NO stress conditions
According to this mechanism, the diffusion of NO and O2 takes place selectively through different channels, and entry of NO is not permitted until the heme group has already captured O2, thus enabling trHbN to accomplish its dioxygenase role.
![Page 35: Deciphering the Molecular Basis of the NO detoxification ... › sites › default › files › public › mare_nostrum › hpc-events › 3569.pdfDeciphering the Molecular Basis](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042404/5f1b9d4c10400f2f467afcc8/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Is the product, nitrate anion, released efficiently to the bulk solvent?
The driving force for the release of nitrate anion is the large hydration free energy due to the presence of the negative charge,
but
1) must it be released through highly hydrophobic, narrow channels?
2) how the (heme)Fe-O(nitrate) is broken in an efficient way?

The release involves an eggression pathway distinct from the two hydrophobic tunnels, and is apparently guided by Thr49.

Release of nitrate anion to the bulk solvent involves a new eggression pathway different from the hydrophobic tunnels used for the entry of O2 and NO
Besides Phe62 (gate), and the Tyr33-Gln58 (O2-activated switching mechanism), Thr49 appears to be important in order to ensure fast release of the product.
Mutants will be valuable to assess trHbN as a potential therapeutical target.
