Nitrate reductase from anaerobically grown Rhizobium japonicum.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The activity of nitrate reductase in Rhizobium japonicum is controlled by oxygen tension, and not by nitrate. The enzyme from R. japonicum grown anaerobically in the presence of nitrate resembles that from bacteroids in having a molecular weight of about 69000 daltons; the enzyme from aerobically grown cells ahs a molecular weight of about 170000 daltons. Both types of enzyme have similar Km values, but differ in their sensitivity to KCN.

The Bradyrhizobium japonicum napEDABC genes encoding the periplasmic nitrate reductase are essential for nitrate respiration.
The napEDABC gene cluster that encodes the periplasmic nitrate reductase from Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA110 has been isolated and characterized. napA encodes the catalytic subunit, and the napB and napC gene products are predicted to be a soluble dihaem c and a membrane-anchored tetrahaem c-type cytochrome, respectively. napE encodes a transmembrane protein of unknown function, and the napD ...
متن کاملMolybdate-dependent expression of the periplasmic nitrate reductase in Bradyrhizobium japonicum.
The napEDABC genes of Bradyrhizobium japonicum encode the periplasmic nitrate reductase, an Mo-containing enzyme which catalyses the reduction of nitrate to nitrite when oxygen concentrations are limiting. In this bacterium, another set of genes, modABC, code for a high affinity ABC-type Mo transport system. A B. japonicum modA mutant has been obtained that is not capable of growing anaerobical...
متن کاملSynthesis and accumulation of nitrite in soybean nodules supplied with nitrate.
Nodulated soybean plants (Glycine max [L.] Merr) were grown in sand culture without combined N or with a continuous supply of nitrate in nutrient solution. Moderate nitrate concentration (30 milligrams N per liter) had little effect on nodule weight/plant while high nitrate concentration (100 milligrams N per liter) depressed nodule weight/plant by 70 to 80% with harvests 30 to 60 days after pl...
متن کاملNitrate inhibition of legume nodule growth and activity : I. Long term studies with a continuous supply of nitrate.
The synthesis and accumulation of nitrite has been suggested as a causative factor in the inhibition of legume nodules supplied with nitrate. Plants were grown in sand culture with a moderate level of nitrate (2.1 to 6.4 millimolar) supplied continuously from seed germination to 30 to 50 days after planting. In a comparison of nitrate treatments, a highly significant negative correlation betwee...
متن کاملNitrate Effect on Nitrogen Fixation (Acetylene Reduction): ACTIVITIES OF LEGUME ROOT NODULES INDUCED BY RHIZOBIA WITH VARIED NITRATE REDUCTASE ACTIVITIES.
The effect of nitrate on symbiotic nitrogen fixation by root nodules of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L., Walp., cv. California Blackeye) and lupine (Lupinus augustifolius L., cv. Frost) plants inoculated with nitrate reductase-expressing and nitrate reductase-nonexpressing Rhizobium strains were examined. Nitrate reductase of Rhizobium bacteroids in the nodules of cowpea and lupine reduced nitrate...
