X-RAY STRUCTURE OF HYDROXYLAMINE OXIDOREDUCTASE
Overview
The 2.8 A crystal structure of hydroxylamine oxidoreductase of a, nitrifying chemoautotrophic bacterium, Nitrosomonas europaea, is, described. Twenty-four haems lie in the centre bottom of the trimeric, molecule, localized in four clusters within each monomer. The haem, clusters within the trimer are aligned to form a ring that has inlet and, outlet sites. The inlet is occupied by a novel haem, P460, and there are, two possible outlet sites per monomer formed by paired haems lying within, a cavity or cleft on the protein surface. The structure suggests pathways, by which electron transfer may occur through the precisely arranged haems, and provides a framework for the interpretation of previous and future, biochemical and genetic observations.
