Some properties of dissimilatory nitrate reductases lacking molybdenum and molybdenum cofactor
Novel periplasmic and membrane-bound nitrate reductases lacking molybdenum and molybdenum cofactor were isolated from the vanadate-reducing bacterium Pseudomonas isachenkovii, and their properties were studied. Both enzymes have some unusual features, i. e., the individual subunits (130-kD subunit of the membrane-bound enzyme and monomeric 55-kD subunit of the periplasmic enzyme) possess their ...
متن کاملNew enzyme belonging to the family of molybdenum-free nitrate reductases.
A novel molybdenum-free nitrate reductase was isolated from the obligate chemolithoautotrophic and facultative anaerobic, (halo)alkaliphilic sulphur-oxidizing bacterium Thioalkalivibrio nitratireducens strain ALEN 2. The enzyme was found to contain vanadium and haem c as cofactors. Its native molecular mass was determined as 195 kDa, and the enzyme consists of four identical subunits with appar...

interactions which can be done when more structural information is available, but they do provide order of magnitude estimates of interaction strengths. Evidently, considerable rearrangement of charge driven by reduction significantly raises the effective dielectric. It seems likely that centres S-2 and FR-2 are apparently low-potential clusters merely because they are the middle clusters in th...
متن کاملMolybdenum 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 کاملHumic Acid-Oxidizing, Nitrate-Reducing Bacteria in Agricultural Soils
UNLABELLED This study demonstrates the prevalence, phylogenetic diversity, and physiology of nitrate-reducing microorganisms capable of utilizing reduced humic acids (HA) as electron donors in agricultural soils. Most probable number (MPN) enumeration of agricultural soils revealed large populations (10(4) to 10(6) cells g(-1) soil) of microorganisms capable of reducing nitrate while oxidizing ...
