CYTOCHROME CD1 NITRITE REDUCTASE, OXIDISED FORM
Overview
Cytochrome cd1-nitrite reductase is a bifunctional enzyme that catalyzes, the one-electron reduction of nitrite to nitric oxide and the, four-electron reduction of oxygen to water. The 1.55 A crystal structure, of the dimeric enzyme from Thiosphaera pantotropha is reported here. The, protein was sequenced from the X-ray structure. Each subunit contains a, covalent c heme with two axial His ligands (His-17, His-69) and a unique, noncovalent d1 heme ligated by Tyr-25 and His-200. The d1 heme is the, mononuclear iron center where both oxygen and nitrite reduction take, place. The two types of heme are located in separate domains whose, arrangement suggests a mechanism requiring domain movement during, catalysis.
