Assimilatory nitrate reductase from the haloarchaeon Haloferax mediterranei: purification and characterisation.
Haloferax mediterranei can use nitrate as sole nitrogen source during aerobic growth. We report here the purification and biochemical characterisation of the assimilatory nitrate reductase (EC 1.6.6.2) from H. mediterranei. The enzyme, as isolated, was composed of two subunits (105+/-1.3 kDa and 50+/-1.3 kDa) and behaved as a dimer during gel filtration (132+/-6 kDa). A pH of 9 and elevated tem...
متن کاملRegulation of assimilatory nitrate reductase formation in Klebsiella aerogenes W70.
Klebsiella aerogenes W70 could grow aerobically with nitrate or nitrite as the sole nitrogen source. The assimilatory nitrate reductase and nitrite reductase responsible for this ability required the presence of either nitrate or nitrite as an inducer, and both enzymes were repressed by ammonia. The repression by ammonia, which required the NTR (nitrogen regulatory) system (A. Macaluso, E. A. B...
متن کاملElectron Transport to Assimilatory Nitrate Reductase in A zotobacter vinelandii
Assimilatory nitrate reductase was particle-bound in extracts from Azotobacter vinelandii. Nitrate reduction by particle fractions was dependent on NADPH and a particle-bound electron carrier. When the enzyme was solubilized from the particles by treatment with detergents, the particle-bound electron carrier could be substituted by ferredoxin or flavodoxin. Flavodoxin reduced at the expense of ...
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 کاملComposition and structure of assimilatory nitrate reductase from Ankistrodesmus braunii.
Assimilatory NAD(P)H-nitrate reductase (EC 1.6.6.2) from Ankistrodesmus braunii has been purified to homogeneity by affinity chromatography on blue Sepharose. The specific activity of the purified enzyme is in the range of 72 to 80 units/mg of protein. The electronic spectrum of the native enzyme shows absorption maxima at 278, 414 (Soret), 532 (beta), 562 (alpha), and 669 nm and shoulders at 4...
