THE TYPE I COPPER OF NITRITE REDUCTASE FROMALCALIGENESSP. NCIB 11015

Purification and characterization of the dissimilatory nitrite reductase from Alcaligenes xylosoxidans subsp. xylosoxidans (N.C.I.M.B. 11015): evidence for the presence of both type 1 and type 2 copper centres.

Dissimilatory nitrite reductase was isolated from extracts of Alcaligenes xylosoxidans subsp. xylosoxidans (N.C.I.M.B. 11015), after activation of crude extracts by the addition of copper(II) sulphate. The enzyme was purified by a combination of (NH4)2SO4 fractionation and cationic-exchange chromatography to 93% homogeneity as judged by SDS/PAGE. SDS/PAGE and spray m.s. showed that the enzyme h...

A Copper Nitrosyl in Nitrite Reductase

Directed evolution of copper nitrite reductase to a chromogenic reductant.

Directed evolution methods were developed for Cu-containing nitrite reductase (NiR) from Alcaligenes faecalis S-6. The PCR cloning strategy allows for the efficient production of libraries of 100 000 clones by a modification of a megaprimer-based whole-plasmid synthesis reaction. The high-throughput screen includes colony lift onto a nylon membrane and subsequent lysis of NiR-expressing colonie...

pH-dependence for binding a single nitrite ion to each type-2 copper centre in the copper-containing nitrite reductase of Alcaligenes xylosoxidans.

The first quantitative characterization of the interaction of NO2(-) with the Cu-containing dissimilatory nitrite reductase (NiR) of Alcaligenes xylosoxidans using steady-state kinetics, equilibrium gel filtration and EPR spectroscopy is described. Each molecule of this protein consists of three equivalent subunits, each containing a type-1 Cu atom and also a type-2 Cu atom at each subunit inte...
