Molybdenum and Nitrate Reductase
Numerous investigators have shown that nitrate nitrogen accumulates in higher plants (l-3) and fungi (2, 4) which are deficient in molybdenum. Other workers have shown that sulfur, zinc, and manganese deficiencies in higher plants may also result in a similar phenomenon (5). The free amino acids present in molybdenum-deficient plants are usually less than those in normal tissues, thus indicatin...
متن کاملAnalysis of nitrate reductase mRNA expression and nitrate reductase activity in response to nitrogen supply
Nitrate is one of the major sources of nitrogen for the growth of plants. It is taken up by plant roots and transported to the leaves where it is reduced to nitrite in the. The main objective of this research was to investigate stimulatory effects of sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate, ammonia and urea on the production/generation of the nitrate reductase mRNA in Triticum aestivum plants. The pl...
متن کاملEffect of molybdenum and tungsten on the reduction of nitrate in nitrate reductase, a DFT study
The molybdenum and tungsten active site model complexes, derived from the protein X-ray crystal structure of the first W-containing nitrate reductase isolated from Pyrobaculum aerophilum, were computed for nitrate reduction at the COSMO-B3LYP/SDDp//B3LYP/Lanl2DZ(p) energy level of density functional theory. The molybdenum containing active site model complex (Mo-Nar) has the largest activation ...
متن کاملRecombinant expression of molybdenum reductase fragments of plant nitrate reductase at high levels in Pichia pastoris.
Mo reductase (MoR; formerly cytochrome c reductase) fragments of NADH:NO(3) reductase (NR; EC1.6.6.1) were cytosolically expressed in Pichia pastoris, a methylotrophic yeast, using spinach (Spinacia oleracea) and corn (Zea maize) cDNAs. In fermenter cultures, spinach MoR was expressed at 420 mg L(-1), corn MoR at 32 mg L(-1), and corn MoR plus with putative NR interface domain N terminus (MoR+)...
متن کاملCharacterization of the Molybdenum Cofactor of Sulfite Oxidase, Xanthine Oxidase, and Nitrate Reductase
While the existence of a molybdenum cofactor common to nitrate reductase, xanthine oxidase, and sulfite oxidase has been finnly established by studies from several laboratories (1-6), the nature of the molecule has not been elucidated. Information available to date has shown that the molybdenum cofactor complex is noncovalently attached to the proteins (2, 4) and is probably a small, dialyzable...
