Partial Purification of the NADH-Nitrate Reductase Complex from Chlorella pyrenoidosa.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The nitrate reductase complex from Chlorella pyrenoidosa has been purified by a procedure which includes as main steps, ammonium sulfate fractionation, polyethylene glycol treatment, and DEAE-cellulose chromatography. The Michaelis constants for NADH, FAD, and NO(3) (-) in the NADH-nitrate reductase assay are 10 mum, 2.6 mum, and 0.23 mm, respectively. Heat treatment exerts varying effects on the enzymatic activities associated with the nitrate reductase complex.

Purification of NADH-Nitrate Reductase by Affinity Chromatography.
ASSIMILATORY NITRATE REDUCTASE (NADH: nitrate oxidoreductase, EC 1.6.6.1) from Chlorella vulgaris has been purified to electrophoretic homogeneity with an overall yield of 60% by a procedure that utilizes blue dextran-agarose as an affinity column. Nitrate reductase binds to blue dextran and is not eluted in the presence of high ionic strength buffer but is rapidly eluted in the presence of mum...

Incubation of the complex metalloflavoprotein, assimilatory nitrate reductase with N-ethylmaleimide, or a spin-labeled analog, 4-maleimido-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinooxyl, resulted in a time-dependent inactivation of NADH:nitrate reductase and NADH: cytochrome-c reductase activity with no effect on reduced methyl viologen:nitrate reductase activity. Inactivation of the enzyme, which could be ...
متن کاملElectron paramagnetic resonance studies on the molybdenum center of assimilatory NADH:nitrate reductase from Chlorella vulgaris.
The assimilatory nitrate reductase from Chlorella contains flavin, heme, and molybdenum as prosthetic groups. The molybdenum in assimilatory nitrate reductase is associated with a pterin moiety (molybdopterin) as evidenced by the ability of the enzyme to donate active molybdenum cofactor to the Neurospora nitrate reductase mutant nit-1 and by the oxidative conversion of the pterin to two well c...
متن کاملCharacterization of Nitrate Reductase Deficient Mutants of Chlorella sorokiniana.
After x-ray irradiation, 13 mutants of Chlorella sorokiniana incapable of using NO(3) (-) as N source were isolated using a pinpoint method. Using immunoprecipitation and Western blot assays, no nitrate reductase was found in five strains while in eight mutants the enzyme was detected. The latter strains contained different patterns of nitrate reductase partial reactions. All isolates were of t...
متن کاملSpinach Nitrate Reductase : Effects of Ionic Strength and pH on the Full and Partial Enzyme Activities.
Initial velocity studies of immunopurified spinach nitrate reductase have been performed under conditions of controlled ionic strength and pH and in the absence of chloride ions. Increased ionic strength stimulated NADH:ferricyanide reductase and reduced flavin:nitrate reductase activities and inhibited NADH:nitrate reductase, NADH:cytochrome c reductase and reduced methyl viologen:nitrate redu...
