Inactivation of soluble guanylyl cyclase in living cells proceeds without loss of haem and involves heterodimer dissociation as a common step.

Oxidative (ODQ) or nitrosative (NOC12) inactivation of cell sGC involves sGC heterodimer dissociation and rearrangement of the sGCβ protein partners without any haem loss from sGCβ. Clarifying what changes do and do not occur to sGC during its inactivation in cells may direct strategies to preserve or recover NO-dependent cGMP signalling in health and disease.
