CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF H254F MUTANT OF ALCALIGENES XYLOSOXIDANS NITRITE REDUCTASE
OverviewOverview
Dissimilatory nitrite reductase catalyses the reduction of nitrite, (NO(2)(-)) to nitric oxide (NO). Copper-containing nitrite reductases, contain both type 1 and type 2 Cu sites. Electron transfer from redox, partners is presumed to be mediated via the type 1 Cu site and used at the, catalytic type 2 Cu centre along with the substrate nitrite. At the type 2, Cu site, Asp92 has been identified as a key residue in substrate, utilisation, since it hydrogen bonds to the water molecule at the nitrite, binding site. We have also suggested that protons enter the catalytic site, via Asp92, through a water network that is mediated by His254. The role of, these residues has been investigated in the blue copper nitrite reductase, from Alcaligenes xylosoxidans (NCIMB 11015) by a combination of ... [(full description)]
