When low levels of gaseous nitric oxide (NO) are equilibrated with deoxygenated Hb, all NO added can be accounted for in terms of hexacoordinate and pentacoordinate forms of NO-Hb, despite recent reports on NO disappearance from heme groups to form nitroxyl anions or S-nitrosated Hb at low ratios of NO to Hb. We demonstrate that a fraction of the spectral signature of fully nitrosylated (largely hexacoordinate) Hb disappears as the pentacoordinate state forms and reappears when pentacoordinate NO-Hb is reconverted to the hexacoordinate condition. We show that the spectral changes associated with these reversible shifts in NO- heme geometry can be remarkably well approximated as variations in the contributions from fully nitrosylated Hb and oxidized Hb (MetHb). As a result, increases in the level of pentacoordinate NO-Hb that occur at low NO to Hb ratios can be misinterpreted as increases in MetHb levels associated with NO-dependent heme oxidation. Conversely, any decrease in levels of pentacoordinate NO-Hb can be misinterpreted as a disappearance of MetHb associated with NO-dependent heme reduction. Transitions between pentacoordinate and hexacoordinate forms of NO-Hb with spectral changes suggestive of changes in levels of heme-bound NO are sensitive to the protein's quaternary conformation and can be brought about by alterations in anion levels or the degree of heme saturation with either O2 or NO.
